I will start migrating from uv, ty and ruff first thing this weekend. It will be painful but not being dependent on OpenAI will be more than worth it.

That’s a pretty low confidence if we measure confidence in dollars willing to risk

Could you tell me how you do this in code ? Started using uv in a very old school team and they don’t like uv simply because it’s new. Something like this is what they base it on.

Been working 8 years with Rs data.table package in research and now after I changed to the private sector I have to use python and pandas. Pandas are so terrible compared to data.table it defies belief. Even tidyverse is better than pandas which is saying something. I miss it so much

Yes it pretty much is. This is why your comparison doesn’t work that well. Also in a physical store you can’t shield the rest of the customers from the content some want but others don’t. So your companies no sense really.

I'll take qutebrowser any day. Best damn thing I've learned to use since (n)vim.

There is a bug when using qutebrowser (using arch linux) - when turning on the sound, the TV turns off (e.g. goes to black-and-white-noise-mode). When turning off the sound, the TV turns on again.

On google chrome, all is well. Just for FYI :) very cool project!

This seems very very interesting. I'm still learning python so probably can't build on this. But like a cheap mans' version of this would be to take a screenshot every couple of minutes, OCR it and send to it gpt for some kind of processing (or not, just keep it as a log). Right? Or am I missing something?
