The importance of walking can not be overstated. Walking for 30 mins every other day will dramatically improve your life if you are sedentary. If you can't do 30 minutes, start wit…

I'm building a product and exploring these questions in that domain. I'm thinking about it a little differently. I have a known set of hardware sensors that I'm collecting all the …

A lot of the joy I used to have doing this job is gone. I wrote some recursive code to turn nested API parameters into Elastic search queries, it was the last really cool thing I d…

Stacked PRs have been great, a huge boon for me. I was using it before the UI support, just on the command line. `gh stack rebase` is too useful.

I think we're going to get to that point on the 'S' curve. I also think the moat for a lot of companies is going to be their process and data, self hosting tuned models could be in…

What kind of hardware are you using and what is your token generation speed (tok/s)? Every time I've tried to run local models, even on my beefy mac book (128Gb Ram), I've been ver…

I would describe myself as an introvert, but one thing I absolutely nailed was my marriage. I married someone who fits with me so well. We've been married for almost 14 years, we h…

Like most things, 80-20 rule probably applies. > It was satisfaction in their relationships, particularly in their marriages, that was the best predictor of a happy and healthy lif…

One nice thing about using React even on the web is that it forces your Backend to be REST right from the start. Although I sincerely thing that is less important now with the expl…

I know that you can have a shortcut on the users phone home screen but I've run into a bunch of problems with that setup where hitting it multiple times opens multiple tabs etc. Ha…

Flew around a bit and was fun. What do you use to build it?

I would love to have floor to ceiling custom shelves. On my second floor I have ceilings that are angled instead of flat and would love to still have the usable space for books. St…

There is an idea I have been enjoying called WET, Write Everything Twice. Basic idea is you should only make things more general and parameterized if you need to write it a third t…

This is super cool. Bed frames might be a nice category to add as well :) I have wanted to build some custom bookshelves for an oddly shaped room I have. Any plans on adding booksh…

Very happy you built this. I was thinking about building this myself.

There was a time when Opus was the only model really worth using, I think that was maybe 4.4 or 4.5, but I agree Sonnet is pretty good now and can be used quite often.

Like many I also discovered this about 10 years ago and love. One other thing I've been doing lately is also to use bar lacing instead of cross lacing. A small change that makes sh…

+1 for htmx + Django, really my favorite stack for development.

Looking at the Ferrari and it's missing that certain look, styling, and tradition Ferrari's have. This design looks like a nice modern electric car, but doesn't have the wow of a F…

Thank you for linking the study. Some good news from it. If you weigh the food instead of depending on the package size then the labels become much more accurate!! "Serving size, b…

do you have a blog or some links of walking through the process of getting everything setup?

If I'm building something for myself it's always Django + HTML/jQuery, it's crazy how productive that is for me. For work it's react/TS/express/... Both have there uses and places.…

My DVD and BR collection has been growing. I just buy used for both and I can usually pick up great stuff pretty cheaply. I also subscribe to YouTube premium for both ad free YouTu…

Really looking forward to seeing Optimus and what the timeline actually will be.
