I am surprised that no comment has yet mentioned Infinite Jest (which I'm still yet to complete - it's been years since I started).

Sounds very reasonable - I don't have a robot vac at the moment because there are some very large thresholds in my flat and the floor itself in places is very wobbly, but if I had a guide to safely mod one to work for my residence I'd definitely have a go.

Also, in my opinion, it's much easier to build a good MCP interface than it is to build a good CLI interface - and afaik there's support for MCP tools to return things like images from an MCP tool call directly to the calling LLM that is a bit tricker to do via CLI.

For IDEs there are many non-Electron apps out there. I like Zed, for example, and no longer have any other IDEs installed (not counting Xcode, or emacs/vim if you're one of those).

I've managed to successfully use the ANE to accelerate text-to-speech models on iOS (as an aside - this was much more straightforward than the equivalent on Android).

I did however struggle to run a diffusion model on the ANE - but found that mlx-swift and iPhone GPU sufficed: https://www.duration.ai/blog/generating-images-with-a-2020-i...

I applied some reflective film to the inside of some of my windows today and it seems to have had some effect, though the window is pretty hot to the touch now and apparently this kind of film can cause windows to crack through thermal stress.

It makes sense for any coating to be on the outside of your window but I wonder how much better hanging a reflective space blanket outside would be than this yoghurt layer or similar.

This is the "company brain" product spike from Anthropic I think

There was an interesting study that I attempted to enroll in (but unfortunately was screened out by both age and childhood instrument learning) that was looking at psilocybin potentially giving adults the ability to acquire perfect pitch:

Multiple successive very short sentences are also anecdotally an LLM tell I think

Something elided here is that nested virtualization on regular EC2 instances has only been possible since February this year[1] - before this, you had to use a metal EC2 instance to run Firecracker VMs.

Very interested to see where this kind of work goes for on-device video generation!

If this means that segfaults become rarer with Bun I might consider using it in production again. As it stands, Bun has been great as an all-in-one TS/JS package manager, build system and test runner but unstable enough that I still want Node running in production backends.

sure, but I was replying to a complaint about failure to parse, not existence of parsing

isn't the real pragmatic answer to parse out known invalid email address strings, and only attempt to deliver an email if unsure?

> the TAM is exploding at a step function rate

This stumped me for a while! what are the interpretations, infinite or 0?

Famously valid email address parsing is far from trivial[1] - I wouldn't be so quick to judge!

I think a lot of time and energy perhaps gets mis-spent on this but the title is right - if you can watch it, you could use any one of a number of methods (incl. capture cards) to record whatever is on your screen, and to some extent I maybe think this is fine? Is it not relatively rare that the whole value is the video itself?

This is first time I have experienced some vindication that choosing CUID2[1] for one of my projects was actually a good idea.

I think the idea of tracking intent in git commits is a great idea but it feels to me like this might be reducible to some prompts/extending git/pre-commit hooks?

Maybe some common complaints about Go are finally less of a problem in the current coding agent era - e.g. ecosystem weakness complaints and verbose error handling.

Though TypeScript's type system is maybe still more powerful - and therefore might have the edge for agents writing code? (Not to mention there's probably more TypeScript in the training data for LLMs, though perhaps there's _better quality_ Go - I'm not a Go dev though so I couldn't comment further on this.)

Yep!
