I record long, rambling voice memos in noisy environments which Whisper struggles to parse. Perhaps this can rescue me from the tedium of hand-stitching the fragmented results together. GIGO, of course, but there's an equilibrium here

Oh, fun! I've been toying with some radial menu designs; this might be the impetus to attempt an implementation.

And maybe an unconscious play on Viet phonemes like Thích Quảng Đức or the Chùa Quốc Ân of Huế.

I've often wondered if "Qc Na" were a pun of some kind.

To deepen this tangent, I'll recommend Philip K. Dick's The Trouble With Bubbles which imagines 60s cocktail party guests showing off their miniature planet-scale terrariums.

Makes sense. Can't tell you what I was thinking, since the cache has cleared. ;)

Yeah, let's think about that. In this video[0] of an open-pit mine, Sempertrans claims their conveyors move 6 meters per second,and elsewhere[1] they claim to move 18,000 tons an hour, ie 5 tons per second—just under 1 ton per meter of

Gustave Flaubert said, "be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work." Perhaps we who strive to be regular and orderly in our work should accept a little chaos in our life. On the other

> it doesn't have to be something you throwaway when you want to deploy a scalable app. Yeah, eventually you just hire some FE devs to shine up all the web components in-place, and that should last you until the exit event. ;)

Lit and web components are cool, but "front-end fatigue" is no more real than "Python fatigue," since every technology has drawbacks. Yes, I have forgotten the pain of "bundling," as vite, Typescript, and bun

This is why I'm excited to try Zed. I regularly "pair" via Pop, but keybindings and lag make it hard to switch seats, so we basically decide at the beginning of the session who is going to hog the keyboard, and that's a

Have you had much success with VS Code's multiplayer extensions? I've found them buggy to the point of useless, but maybe things have improved. Zed, on the otherhand, is developed by people who understand pair programming, which i

Browser extensions have also been made for Goodreads that ping my library's Overdive/Libby API for availability, and that's positively addictive!

It seems like you found a good strategy. I might have tried earnest curiosity. "And what results would you expect from that?" or "Let's say we do this, and get such-and-such result?" or "What kind of result wou

What method is that? Layer offloading?

The jury's still out on that one. Personally, I don't think the GUI's yet been invented which can reliably wrangle LLMs to those ends.

Look, maybe I'm naive but the "technical debt" this approach generates is appalling. Someone's going to have to shave that yak or you'll trip over it on your way to market. Whatever happened to "write code like

At least using a framework like React would expose these HTML blocks to the typechecker.

Wow, CSS in a style tag in a string in try block in an anonymous function all declared right there in index.ts—no units, to say nothing of tests! Would be a huge nuisance to maintain.

What are "heavy" vs "light?" Featureful middleware/plugin ecosystem vs stdlib+process forking? And/or are we talking minimum memory footprint?

I've never been more conscious of my breath while computing than when I was playing Subnautica[0], which proffers a (notoriously tense) game loop significantly involving running out of air and coming up for breath. Additionally, I woul
