For space sensitive applications like embedded systems, could you shift the preprocessing to compile time? You would need to constrain the vocabulary to see any benefits, but that could be reasonable. For example, you an enumeration of numb

The YouTube video [1] was published in 2019. The Blog spam posts range from Nov 2022 to July 2023. Other than the video, the only relevant content is on the about page [2]. It says the voice is a collaboration between 5 different entities,

Huh. Sounds perfectly intelligible and definitively artificial. Feels weakly feminine to me, but only because I was primed to think about gender from the branding. It’s a good choice for a robot voice. It’s easier to understand than the for

The “multiple PhDs” thing is interesting. The point of a PhD is to master both a very specific subject and the research skills needed to advance the frontier of knowledge in that area. There’s also plenty of secondary issues, like figuring

Hmm you could do a bunch of crazy stuff if you assume it will stay digital. You could have an arbitrarily large page size. You could use color to encode more data… maybe stack QR codes using each channel of a color space (3 for RGB, 4 for C

That is a really interesting idea. Did some napkin math: Consumer printers can reliably handle 300 Dots Per Inch (DPI). Standard letter paper is 8.5” x 11” and we need a 0.5” margins on all sides to be safe. This gives you a 7.5” x 10” prin

It's pretty incredible the extent to which "AI Agents" are basically low-code/flow-based programming tools with upgraded NLP blocks.

Well… at least the vibe coded python codebase has better tooling. There are probably some cool tools for fixing rats nests of Macro’d Excel, but I’ve never found them.

Your license is interesting. To meet your intent, I suggest you revisit this definition: > “Military Entity" means any armed forces branch, defense department, or military organization of any nation or alliance. As written, this onl

Yes. It doesn’t matter exactly how each word in the police report was entered. All that matters is the officer signed off on it. They should be personally & totally responsible for the contents of the report. I don’t care if they use ge

Looks interesting- but why the Supabase dependency? That’s a much tighter requirement than a vanilla PostgreSQL extension or something like PostgREST

It’s a nice form. On iOS when I hit next it didn’t pop me up to the beginning of the next page. Agree with the sibling that it would be nice to get focus on that next obvious step.

Those changes are big enough that they’d need to be a Python 4, don’t you think? Community is still gun why after the 2-3 transition pain.

This is probably something AI can help with. Given a published video, write a blog post version. With some work you can probably get a first draft with solid links and appropriate tone, reducing the effort down to an hour per post or better

Another option for this is Bearable. I used it for headaches a while ago and it worked well: https://bearable.app/ Here’s an actual peer reviewed study evaluating a pile (over 1000!) symptom tracking apps, including Bearabl

You don't need AI for this. So much individual productivity depends on the civilization-level platform. Even when you decide to bootstrap stuff and do it from scratch, you're still operating in an environment deeply shaped by the

The only time I went into a Porsche dealership was when I was shopping for a BEV and wanted to check out the Taycan. I was able to test drive it, but then the dealership put on a hard sell. I wasn't convinced the vehicle was worth the

Looks great, sharing it with my legal team. The "Fetch Example" button on the web demo doesn't seem to work. It would be nice if the web demo was pre-loaded with some stuff.

Any chance this will reduce the space needed for major OS updates? Those have always been desperately inefficient.

Pretty cool. It’s interesting to see how the receipt printer evolved from your post-it system. One suggestion- mention the printer earlier in the post. It took so long to get around to it that I started wondering if the link was wrong.
