I actually searched HN for “llm budget” because I wanted an LLM to help me sort one out, and not have to deal with correcting categorisations and such. And your app sounds like exactly what I searched for. But when I got there, I found myse

Yep! https://magicnotes.ai It’s pretty neat once you get over the initial weirdness. Unlocks a lot of potential. But because it’s new, there are fewer conventions, so you have to come up with them and be consistent.

I degoogled my life out of principle—that one was about privacy. I feel strongly about this one too (in fact I just migrated from kindle to kobo for similar reasons), but where else is there to go? Some rooted android phone with Google play

For what it's worth, I was worried about that as well, but I found it to be _fun_, and I actually look forward to playing with it, even before bed. Weird, I know, but I'm enjoying it and didn't think I would.

Ah, yeah, it was confusing to me when I was trying to get started as well! fortunately, the folks in the hardware channel of their Discord are super helpful. Here's what I learnt: Green is the new plug and play server. Easiest to setup

I can’t see any reason why you couldn’t do that. I’ve only been using Home Assistant for a few months, but off the top of my head I reckon I could do that with an automation. The catch is that you may have to set that automation up yourself

You can get an atom echo for $13, if that helps: https://www.home-assistant.io/voice_control/thirteen-usd-voi...

What do you mean color version? As an aside, I get what you mean in the context of my earlier comment, but just to clarify for anyone reading, you can use alexa and Google home devices with home assistant (eg to send commands and as media p

I switched to Home Assistant a couple months ago (because I didn't like the idea of my voice being sent to amazon constantly) and haven't looked back! Soo much more you can do (including immediately using an LLM, if you like, whet

I think that’s en-dash (–, used for ranges). Em-dash (—, used mid-sentence for asides etc) is the same combo but with shift as well.

Does anyone know if vector tiles could carry adequate data to facilitate reverse geocoding (address lookup)? E.g. the polygon of a building containing its street address in its metadata. I’m surprised I haven’t seen that before, as reverse

Hah, thought this looked familiar… I had a similar idea back in 2017 and published a little 5-line library to get this type of syntax ([err, result] for async): https://github.com/timwis/eres

But doesn’t that still write the secrets to disk? I thought the point of 1pass CLI was so you could avoid having unencrypted secrets on disk?

Recent versions of rails takes this approach. But I’ve wondered: is it possible to avoid copying the key onto disk, and leave it in 1Password, eg via their cli?

One of the best ideas I’ve heard for having Slack without the pressure to keep up with it is to configure it to delete messages after a short time period. This lets you keep the live chat going with those who are around, but people know to

Feels like I may have brought a spoon to a gun fight, but I would have considered psychohistory to be the ultimate extrapolation of determinism, and the fact that the prime radiant is able to predict _which_ version of events will happen is

Gosh, I know it's a bit late, but I wish they'd called the product _The Prime Radiant_ Fans of Asimov's _Foundation_ series will appreciate the analogue to how this system aims to predict every eventuality based on every poss

Actual Budget is fantastic and now open source. The bank integrations are only for European banks though I think.

Thank you for sharing! I’m surprised to hear that, given how impressive your product is, but I’m an even bigger fan now.

Thanks, that's a really helpful explanation.

That sounds like a pretty reasonable solution, just doing it for the ‘crown jewels’. The OTP in the password manager one is another thing I’ve struggled to wrap my head around. There’s an interesting conversation about it with folks at 1Pas

Perhaps if you could register your hardware key using its public key, which could be saved on your device? So you don’t need the hardware keys to be physically present when registering; just when signing in later.

As much as I want a hardware key, I still struggle with the practicality of having a backup key. I create new accounts on websites quite often, and the idea of having to go fetch my backup key out of a safe to register it (and hope the site

I have found the book _Programming Phoenix LiveView_ to be a great explainer as to what’s going on in liveview. It’s written for people new to Phoenix as well. I’m only halfway through and already building quite a lot with it, and, critical

Hey just so you’re aware for the future, it’s the seller’s responsibility to get your item delivered to you, so if you hadn’t recovered it, it would be on Apple to resolve it. They would then take it up with the shipping company. More detai
