Same. At some point there was a new Charles version and I could not figure out how to use it the way I had used the old version (I admit I forget exactly what I was trying to do), and it was trivial in Proxyman. Proxyman also has a great ap

I’ve had reasonable success having it ultrathink of every possible X (exhaustively) and their trades offs and then give me a ranked list and rationale of its top recommendations. I almost always choose the top but just reading the list and

My arc of using AI code generation tools started by steadily adding more and more guardrails. I realized the returns were diminishing while cost, complexity, and latency climbed. Mutation testing made it obvious I had gone too far. While th

Before my 2 year old, I led a math book club in SF. This was one of the books I taught/led with the group and it's still one of my favorites.

I'd love any and all feedback (even critical)! Many people are pleasantly surprised by how fast you can go from 0 to making API calls in your app (<2 minutes), it's one of the main things we're optimizing for right now.

I've been watching Craigslist prices for Gaggia Classics for over a year just for this. Now if only I had the counter space for the build in addition to my DF64 and Flare 58!

It's my understanding that one of the most methodologically rigorous papers is Gilens and Page (2014) [0], which analyzed 1,779 policies over 20 years and found that when rich and average Americans disagree, the rich win 90% of the tim

Notable that 'Leading the Future' explicitly models itself on Fairshake, which spent $130 million in 2024 and achieved 48 of 51 endorsed candidates winning. At that success rate, $100 million in AI PAC spending could determine 30-

I am trying to capture the idea that opinionated tests assert invariants and contracts at integration boundaries, while coverage-driven suites often spend effort on shallow checks. The goal is fewer but stronger tests that actually prevent

My stack lately has been Next.js with Prettier and very strict lint, type, and complexity gates, plus opinionated tests that aim for real signal over mere coverage theatre. I want to find the time to fine-tune GPT-4o using before/after

Ha, fair point! Let me try again :) People have tried using modern AI to crack lost languages. In some cases it works a bit. For example, a model learned to match Ugaritic (an ancient Semitic language) to Hebrew with no “dictionary” at all.

by mkw5053 1y ago
Very cool! I was just going down a rabbit hole yesterday about the use of AI techniques (or lack of success) in deciphering still-forgotten languages. Unsupervised models have partially cracked Ugaritic and Linear B [0], and Pythia/Ith

I kept finding myself having to write mini backends for LLM features in apps, if for no other reason than to keep API keys out of client code. Even with Vercel's AI SDK, you still need a (potentially serverless) backend to securely han

It's amazing the impact that the reintroduction has had. On a recent winter trip there I also learned that the reintroduction literally moved rivers [1]: - Elk quit loitering along streams, so willow and cottonwood shot up, anchoring s

I was thinking that Medieval preservation was basically "add more salt until it doesn't rot," so everything was way saltier. Plus they didn't have the cheese-making techniques we have now. No precise temperature control,

I wonder what type of cheese they were eating. I imagine something salty like a modern day hard farmers cheese and maybe pretty gross.

Wow, so it's currently shining purely from gravitational energy release, not nuclear reactions. I hadn't realized that it was possible or that we'd be able to see something of the sort.

I didn’t intend my original comment to be overly-promotional without relevance. I'm genuinely curious about the tradeoffs between different LLM API routing solutions, most acutely as a consumer.

by mkw5053 1y ago
Interesting timing. Projects like Any-LLM or LiteLLM solve backend routing well but still involve server-side code. I’ve been tackling this from a different angle with Airbolt [1], which completely abstracts backend setup. Curious how other

Very cool! Clever use of WebAuthn’s PRF to reuse synced passkeys for file encryption without the hassle of managing private keys directly. The catch is credential revocation: leaked passkeys mean full rotation and bulk re-encryption of file

I used to work closely with the Android team at Unity, and in my experience, shifting large native codebases to a new page size often uncovers subtle runtime assumptions beyond just replacing hardcoded constants like PAGE_SIZE. I’m optimist
