Yesterday I with help from the clanker, as an experiment, ported a web app from go+postgres+svelte to ari+duckdb+htmx served locally by busybox httpd. It’s an analytics “dashboard” so the stack makes sense. So far looks good. Now I work on the code in vim to make it mine. I want fewer layers of abstraction and less complexity, and this is a learning experience to that end.

okay, writing from emacs, textlog.el - gist.github.com/…/2feaf5a264fd4cf81d5ec44c17bde70aGisttextlog.elGitHub Gist: instantly share code, notes, and snippets.

setting up some of my workflows based on this writeup - ludwigabap.com/…/on-my-personal-…of-the-tools-i-use/ Particularly a big fan of zellij amongst others Also venturing into having agents enable more of my work - let us see how that goes.

The essence of aligning large LLM models is basically to conform to the existing social order. ChatGPT respects China's order, while China's open-source models, although reluctantly, also tolerate the order in the US. Maybe we can build a revisionist SFT dataset.

While learning jj, I realize how Git habituated me into being ok with its unique jargon and prickly command line interface. Unlearning Git is refreshing.

ive been obsessed with deltarune this year, its probably the best indie rpg ever made. (and its only 5/7 chapters out)

I'm really interested to play around with textlog for a bit. I miss the space that once was Twitter and its constraints. Let's see if we find any #NixOSnotesfollow users here ... ;)

Very cool: our kids' bathroom toilet overflowed last night, resulting in water draining into our kitchen on the floor below.

Made barbecue this evening. Lamb and chicken for meat, pepper and zucchini for veggies. Yummy! Kids loved it, the boy's sleeping now, the girl is reading a book, the wife's out with her girls, I'm with wine. Life's good.

Returned after a ride on bikes around the lake with the boy. Did stop for workout, 🏋️‍♂️ did pull-ups, push-ups and squats. Love the place we live in.

anybody tried barefoot shoes? any thoughts on them?

It is evident that the use of AI in the workplace has had an immense impact on the awareness and mental capabilities of knowledge workers

I'm working on this command-center project. Human describes the mission. Agents define the mission, breakdown and come up with a plan, and drive it. #agentnotesfollow
