<p>Interesting timing for this to appear, I've just started reading The Grand Tour (<a href="https://www.agathachristie.com/stories/the-grand-tour" rel="nofollow">https://www.agathachristie.com/stories/the-grand-tour</a>), from the blurb: "With a ten-month itinerary that would take her across South Africa, New Zealand, Hawaii and Canada, The Grand Tour is a unique record of Agatha Christie's round-the-world journey of 1922, told through her extensive and lively letters home to her mother."<p>So far I can confirm her letters to her mother are every bit as entertaining as her mainline literary work. It is absolutely crazy to me that she had this opportunity in 1922!</p>

<p>I noticed that previous post is from a couple of months ago, and it looks like about a week ago they posted a project update and they claim for their current prototype: "We are successfully printing in both black and full color." <a href="https://www.crowdsupply.com/open-tools/open-printer/updates/progress-update-and-details-about-our-nomination-for-a-french-design-award" rel="nofollow">https://www.crowdsupply.com/open-tools/open-printer/updates/...</a><p>Of course I have no way of verifying either way. Still I do think the project looks quite interesting, I'm in the market for a printer and this is certainly the most interesting one I've seen in a while.</p>

<p>Interesting, captcha used to be entirely in browser but I've seen a bunch of 'scan this qr with your phone' ones lately that left me vaguely uneasy. I think this post clarifies my uneasiness, it's not good to train people that they can complete captcha via external apps.</p>

<p>My local library has a few interesting things like this including a podcast kit (i.e. professional microphones and mixers) you can book in conjunction with a room booking and also a thermal imaging camera you can check out to "identify energy efficiency in the home by finding gaps in insulation, comparing the performance of different walls and rooms in the home, finding air leaks and identifying water leaks or damp issues". I approve wholeheartedly of these and similar initiatives.</p>

<p>Alternative twist on this that I find works very well (and that I posted about a month ago <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45959846">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45959846</a>) - instead of concat&sending touched files, checkout the feature branch and the prompt becomes "help me review this pr, diff attached, we are on the feature branch" with an AI that has access to the codebase (I like Cursor).</p>

<p>I have tried a few of the LLM solutions. So far for me <a href="https://fathom.video">https://fathom.video</a> is head and shoulders above the rest, excellent speaker annotation and LLM summarization, full video recording and matching video position to transcript (i.e. click on section of transcript to go to that part of the video), reasonable pricing, decent free tier. I have no affiliation at all with Fathom, just enjoy their product!</p>

<p>I wanted to share a small workflow I find helpful that I haven't necessarily seen mentioned elsewhere. I don't always want AI assistance for a code review but it can sometimes be helpful and for those cases I use the below method.<p>1. Download the raw PR diff file. In GitHub you can do this very easily by adding '.diff' to the end of the pull request url and then saving the resulting page.<p>2. Go to your preferred AI chat/ide that accepts file attachments and has access to your codebase, I like Cursor for this.<p>3. Git checkout the feature branch if you aren't on it already.<p>4. In the AI chat attach the diff file and a message like "help me review this pr, diff attached, we are on the feature branch"<p>That's it. Sometimes I make the chat message more relevant, tell it some background about the task, and ask it for specific parts of the pull I am interested in checking, but nine times out of ten I just use the very simple message as above and it works fine.<p>It certainly spouts out some garbage, but it has also caught some very obvious and non-obvious bugs.<p>What I like about this method as opposed to say bugbot, apart from the fact that bugbot costs extra, is it makes it easy to continue the conversation and also to look through the files/diffs in the ide.<p>Hope this workflow is helpful to someone.</p>

<p>>I just upload the documents to OpenAI and make it available to the Assistant, and it seems to work fine<p>That is also my experience, OpenAI assistant attached docs do seem to have a good amount of magic. Migrated over from an admittedly basic/naive custom RAG solution and results are similar/better but just have to work with a doc instead of dealing with RAG. One thing I found is I have to add a strong text to the prompt to force it to always check the doc, apart from that works great.</p>
