It really should have a better name. Not easy to search for.

LinkedIn content that hasn't been written by AI might as well have been.

There's a reason i read HN and not LI.

How risky is pi-claude-cli? Don't want to get the account banned.

I was wondering what a book keeper is, thinking it would be some kind of librarian. Isn't the accounting sense written as a single word, i.e. bookkeeper?

OT but how are y'all sharing your skills and agents across harnesses?

I have a bunch of Claude Code Plugins and yesterday asked Codex to make them accessible to itself. It wanted to rewrite most of it. I was hoping i could get by with some symlinks or something to avoid drift.

Not just RLHF but also RLVR, and isn't that the litter lesson though?

My sense of the Sutton Dwarkesh interview was that he was calling out that he didn't mean just longer datasets, but rather learning through exploration and that's exactly RL.

"a new distributed consensus service called Meerkat powered by a consensus algorithm called QuePaxa, published in 2023 by researchers at EPFL. QuePaxa differs from Raft in that all replicas can perform writes at all times, and progress is never halted due to a timeout"

Interesting

Really, does this work now? What about NotebookLM? I was using it a lot until i realised it was only analysing the transcripts and not the video because i was mostly using it for technical ones with important charts.

Looks cool. A somewhat adjacent question: what is the best, or what are common, approache(s) for handling time in knowledge graphs?

Exactly. If it's next gen then why is it 5.6 and not 6?

Hi, Yes I'm in the same boat as you - had to switch to US language instead of UK. I've been addiing the anglisised versions of words to my dictionary as I go along so it's becoming less of an issue over time. Maybe I'll switch to FUTO in order to not have to deal with this anymore. Gboard has one nice feature though in that I have multiple languages enabled so I get correct predictive completion in non-English languages.

For learning ClearFlow, I used the Games app available from the "Clearflow Games" section on their website: https://clearflowkeyboard.github.io/

I also have the issue of the thumb getting in the way so I spent a couple of days playing the games to get my layout memory up and then it became usable without frustration and I'm not looking back now although I occasionally still forget the odd letter location.

I think this is the right direction. I'm increasingly viewing AI as coworkers and explaining it as such to higher ups as well. My colleagues also have different strengths and weaknesses and i know what to check and what i can rely on more. Being able to interact with Claude like i do with them will help with that. Unfortunately I'll need it in MS Teams for that. (Pls spare me your rants about Teams. We also use Windows. Deal with it.)

I switched to ClearFlow a month or two ago after learning of it on Hackernews. It is available in GBoard.

I'm happy with the switch. Like any keyboard switch (I've gone from Qwerty to Dvorak and now a Colemak-dh derivative with about ten years on each) it takes some time to learn the layout. Overall I'm happy with it though and there are less frustrating misinterpretations and corrections needed.

This post was swiped on it with only two corrections and the second one was my fault as i misremembered a key location.

I miss Fable. Will it ever be back? As a non-US citizen living in Africa i fear that i will have to wait for an equivalent non-US model.

Next, please create a website that lists all websites that don't list themselves and let me know whether it lists itself or not. You'll probably need functional programming and category theory for this, or so I'm told.

Ha ha my brain read that as "Lean interpretor in WASM".

Actually i think it's the "for" in the title that's at fault. The repo title is quite clear, but the submission title is ambiguous to me.
