As long as the only copy of the blog doesn't exist on Github, it really doesn't matter IMO.

Defuddle ( https://github.com/kepano/defuddle ) by @kepano (CEO of Obsidian) is pretty damn good at getting a text-only version of random sites.

It's 110% vibe engineered, so I'm rather hesitant to share it to anyone else - I don't need the drama =) But it's pretty much a bespoke handler for every site with some common bits (caching, feed fetching etc) For exampl

I built a RSS feed hydrator just for this. It grabs the basic feed and adds whatever I need to it. Then it generates a new one that I subscribe to on my feed reader.

There's no continuity with outsourced consultants either. But still people manage to make it work. With the exact same tools you use with LLMs: proper documentation and detailed instructions. Then you can grab any random consultant or

Soft skills isn't just about being nice. It's about knowing the capabilities of people, what can they do, what do they excel at and where they need support. The exact same applies to LLMs, each of them have their own very distinct

AFAIK it's going to be a public API from Anthropic. Dunno about the costs.

As Anthropic explains it, the watermark is at the model level. It just produces stuff that matches the watermark, prompts and instructions don't matter.

This is just managing the low-effort low hanging fruit. The students who, without a single neuron activating, will just copy paste questions to an AI web UI and paste the answers back. Or the mid-tier corporate people who file 50 page &quot

There are stories of students literally copy-pasting LLM answers to school assignments with prompts and all. This will most likely bring a sift end to at least the low hanging fruit.

Doing a good "deepfake" Photoshop requires skill. With an AI model it requires the ability to speak or write, not much more.

I have a friend who works in B2B eCommerce specifically with some projects in D2C and they're saying that SEO is mostly a dead end now. It's all about Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) or Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). So if

The monopoly movie chain in my country "updated" their pages to be "better". Now it's so bad that some chad created their own overlay for the site where you can actually see all the showtimes for a specific movie on

Read only? Yes. But the readonly needs to be enforced on the service side. Like my personal agent has read only access to my Fastmail account via their MCP. It can't send mail as me, but it can read, categorise and organise my mail. If

Counter point: Companies have made their pages as hard as possible to access with automated tools. People move to agents, if your site is "invisible" to agentic users (no API, no MCP) people won't find it. Companies start ope

I use mise for dev tooling, that way I can have the exact correct version for every project. Python through brew is the one I expect to be the latest one I use for one-off scripts.

This was something the Nokia N900 was excellent at. It was basically a Linux computer anyway so making it a server wasn't a massive undertaking.

What's the difference between "trash" and "tropes" in your mind? For example the good old Harlequin books were pretty much trash: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harlequin_Enterprises But when th

I think many people forget that the vast majority of books aren't high art. Your mind goes to Heinlein, Arthur C. Clarke, N.K. Jemsin, or Pratchett. My mind goes to Ice Planet Barbarians[0] or Crimson Worlds[1] (both written by actual

First to market usually wins. After they've got their gizmo in every user's hands, who will buy a perfectly crafted replacement with E2EE and all the bells and whistles? Shove it out as fast as possible, patch it live.

For me it's a dopamine machine. I get my doses of lacking dopamine from completing things. Agents let me complete things in parallel all the time. They also let me build tools that manage all the attention-grabbing things in my life. S

My ADHD gets dopamine from getting something working, not from the tedious process of getting there. So YMMV.

Subagents are good when the harness (And agent?) understand how smart they are. My root level CLAUDE.md has pretty much just "use a lower tier agent when relevant". Then I daily-drive Opus, it automatically offloads simpler stuff
