Hi - have wanted this for months but searches keep coming up empty. For having agents create and connect to local test VMs - build me a Windows VM, try out this script/software on …

Was always my first tweak to a new machine - such an obvious change. Moving to a split keyboard gave me three keys at each thumb - the same kind of realization. We have two thumbs …

Was always mystified about custom keyboards - until I got the idea to do an emoji layer: https://poggers.institute/@j/the-emoji-layer/ Also: swapping colon/semicolon, using fn+hjkl…

Not a bad idea - however > Caveman only affects output tokens — thinking/reasoning tokens are untouched. The problem is the thinking. But could help to tune my system prompt for Ki…

I absolutely love Kimi's personality - some of the things it says are so out there! And it's been great for very focused, iterative work. Its weakness is that it seems to yak on-an…

Well, yeah, it's all subjective - and actually quite tenuous - so you won't know good and bad until you actually make the call on it. Maybe you've had the experience even of coming…

Found a favorite band through a similar technique: pile of CDs given from a friend who worked at a music store and no one wanted them. You have to be willing to sift through junk. …

This is not true though. My two favorite bands from the past year were poorly-attended shows that I stumbled into. You can still seek out good underground, obscure artists - you ju…

Well, except that, in this case, Copilot really is for entertainment purposes only.

> There is no need for determinism to guarantee the job will be done identically every time if we only plan to do it once. So can't you just save the conversation transcript and re…

Agent can still "forgot password" on many accounts. Or magic link.

Digitize and burn.

Another approach to journal writing is basically the opposite: rather than treating it like a task to fill with very rigid requirements - find a notebook and pen that you'll enjoy …

Kind of ironic - the moat is money... At the same time, I see the appeal. I feel like 10% of the comments I read lately are "is this an AI response?" - would be nice to be free of …

The weakest part is the last one - and it's a big one. Personalsit.es is just a flat single-page directory (of thumbnails, even, not content - so the emphasis is design.) To be par…

Great advertising for vidalias. I simply have to try one now.

Skill descriptions get dumped in your system prompt - just like MCP tool definitions and agent descriptions before them. The more you have, the more the LLM will be unable to focus…

While I totally agree with you, I also can see a world where we just throw a ton of calls in the MCP and then wrap it in a subagent that has a short description listing every verb …

Yep, those are the companies that would go away.

Something of a logical leap here: if LLMs aren't capable of replacing workers and it's all lies, then what company is going to engage in mass layoffs without seeing results first? …

Lots of gold in this article. It's like discovering a basket of cheat codes. This will age well. Great links, BAML is a crazy rabbithole and just found myself nodding along to freq…

Ok well - appreciate the further details.

Idk the punishment just doesn't match the crime. Can't they just confiscate the computer? Or pressure the ISP to cancel his account? Tbh I get that the Feds are going route around …
