Hey Google: please control my computer.

this is core inflation no? it's interesting that it doesn't account for food and energy. so likely much higher in reality...

Soldering was my favorite part of ee course in the university… i even kinda liked the fume..

80% of my day to day job has never been pumping out lots of code. it is a complicated career is it? we do a lot of alignment, design and thinking. i can't even agree the idea of ou…

seems.. interesting. will definitely be interested in testing this.

sure! - security layer between your local data and public internet, i use it as mcp server to let claude safely read/write to my computer! cli: https://github.com/philipnee/mvmt ui…

what exactly is going wrong with github aside from all the outages in the past x months? i honestly don't find it particularly disruptive to work/personal stuff. excuse my ignorant…

I feel this must have been posted on HN before, but I was pretty shock at finding this out...

build and tear down metaverse. zero sum.

here's my take - the hardest part isn't doing more computer programming, it is context switching between technical and sales. It has been done, so it is possible, but it is very di…

(i find)the right way to read a PR can differ a lot from project to project. it's not just about context, or syntax, or workflow... sometimes the best entry point is the PR descrip…

producing code is just part of the programming, albite a very important part. from my very limited exp, i say programming is more about ...reasoning about behavior, managing comple…

companies don't buy anymore, they just take it. think about Claude, every time you use it, you are literally give away your code, your data, and even your personal information.

still remember my assembly class with HC11 20 yrs ago: amazed by how much we can do with so little hardware.

And QUIC.

The reliability, speed and internet connectivity makes local first more appealing. Honestly - i host my own webpage, file server, and some compute locally.

i say this (OC) is early, but directionally right. we can see how people are enthusiastic about local ai infra and we can all understand the idea of democratizing compute. though i…

Reading all the comments here i feel I’ve learned all the obsidian i need.
