I think I ran into an edge case: Directly after opening the example https://tuneithub.com/Legit-Control/get-colibri I pressed Undo and all text disappeared and I couldn't get it back via Redo

I'm also curious to see if we will see more "no drive zones".

We see this in other domains: I recently talked to someone from an asset inspection (think flying around bridges to check for fractures) company. They can't use DJI drones because of security concerns.

Careful though, you might end up like me and add more and more machines, because setting up new machine is very satisfying with nixos

Instead of drilling deep, there is also an intersting case for storing cheap solar energy as hat in piles of dirts in the summer to power turbines in the winter: https://austinvernon.site/blog/standardthermal.html

Version control and meaningful diffs for .xlsx will be in high demand in a few months

A diff makes these kind of errors much easier to catch.

Or maybe someone from XEROX has a better idea how to catch subtly altered numbers?

flowingfocus — Mon, 07 Jul 2025 00:38:04 +0000

specifically for working better with diffs, I can recommend tmux + lazygit with this keybinding for quickly opening a floating lazygit:

bind-key C-g display-popup -E -d "#{pane_current_path}" -xC -yC -w 80% -h 75% "lazygit"

not only does it allow you to see the diffs, but you can directly discard changes you don't want, stage, commit, etc.

> The neighborhood cafe where locals can stop by at any time and see other locals

This is still the norm in some places. When I was cycling through the Balkans, I was surprised how many people sit in public spaces, usually close to a kiosk, and play cards, throw dice, or just chatter

Adversarial play sounds fun, I might try that out!

The LLM we use is mistral-large-latest, we didn't do any training on the data yet

The layout is fully customizable. That being said I just stick with the default, works well for me.

By default F12 is on the lower layer "V" key.

Ultra-endurance cycling like the race you mentioned is fascinating. I once met a few contestants in a European bike race and drove alongside one. He said the best in the field sleep around 4 hours per night and do 500+ km per day.
