CEOs benefit from keeping their employees scared and their shareholders excited, take what they say with a huge grain of salt.

I once watched a 2 part DVD movie in the wrong order and I thought it was a bold director’s choice to not introduce any of the characters or explain the background.

I hate that every product has added “for AI” to their name and homepage.

I guess the investor are asking for it, but as a customer I can’t tell what products actually work for my use case anymore.

Visually this is gorgeous

Really nice work!

This looks great.

Lord knows I have to make enough mermaid renderings of these UML diagrams.

Will be giving it a try

Passwords are one I happily pay for someone else to worry about

That’s about my most valuable digital data

No, not I don’t self host my email which is where a lot of the trouble comes from

I don’t remember having any issues with it ever. That was a concern so I did slowly transition to the custom domain

That’s pretty much my setup, it is not super hard to get working, it’s basically just copying and pasting the magic numbers they give you

Three R’s to deGoogling: Reduce, replace, remove.

I would say start by changing your browser and search engine (lots of options out there today), and then set up your own domain for email hosting so you can try different providers.

There isn’t another YouTube with all that content out there, so that one is tough, but you don’t have to 100% de google, 50% is still good. 15% is still good.

Those had the vibe of a Perry Bible Fellowship comic, bit with less existential crisis

And it was good.

Fun read, I’ve never heard the full quote before.

Weirdly I’m polite to all LLMs, but Gemini sets me off and I end up yelling at it.

Open webui lets you install a ton of different search providers out of the box, but you do need sn API key for most and I haven’t vetted them

I’m trying to get Kagi to work with Phi4 and not having success.

I store iso country codes and use them as the primary key in a countries table.

I keep seeing this on serious sites and it makes me happy

Amen

And to add that smart people fall for dumb biases, we just need to look at the object oriented mania of the 2000s to late 2010s to see us shoehorn in one paradigm into everything without critically considering whether it made sense over other models.

Can an LLM do everything I need yet? No.

But is a stochastic parrot good enough to help me complete a function and help me restructure code? Yes definitely.

Claude is good enough for so much of the low value code I write that is actually a useful tool. I have to review the code but it’s useable.

I use AI search to lookup functions that I don’t need detailed docs for, or to help me debug arcane library specific errors (just had one earlier today where in polars the list and array types are very much not interchangeable and the explode method was failing).

I still read the docs on things that are critical, and I write the critical paths and dictate structure and understand the problem im solving well.

I would vote no for this as a user

I hate how many discord notifications and emails I get about this, I don’t want to see it on other platforms. It’s potentially way too spammy of a feature.

I’m new/planning to get more into self hosting

I have a crappy NAS in the basement I archive to and copy my borg repos to.

Then I pay for a Dropbox style cloud service and I copy my borg archives there. It’s kind of janky but it’s cheap and works.
