Is something similar already available for Android phones?

Very informative. I like that. But boy, cron looks to be soo straightforward and easier to use than this.

I think that many AIs nowadays have similar process incorporated in their thinking blocks, you can see there how it discuss implementation details with itself - so such discussion happen even in case human does not participate in the loop.

Yeah - I regularly go to Corsica from Italy or France, overnight. It's nice when you have to drive several hours to the port, but if I lived near the port, I would definitely go for day travel — it's much faster and way cheaper.

Is it possible to extract exif info client side (in browser, via javascript) and then upload photo standard way and exif metadata via side channel?

Hmm. Is this claude code specific or can this be installed for pi-agent also? I guess I'll just ask pi ;-)

In my area, I think that non electric bikes are often more dangerous: they are often non tolerant of others and hesitant to slow down because of speed conservation. Especially in our hilly town. Easy "free" acceleration is plus here.

I am often frustrated by ads/sponsored content on YouTube that I cannot buy. Youtuber present me nice product targeted for US audience. I am in Europe. No way I can use it or buy it. I would do it sometimes, but I cannot. Still I have to watch such ads.

I dont think there is a practical way to prevent this case.

I am using this tool all the time and I did not know this! Thanks!

jiri — Thu, 23 Oct 2025 07:48:21 +0000

But files obsidian works with are just bunch of .md files that can be viewed or edited with anything, nano, notepad, visual studio code etc. So does it really matter it is or it is not open source?

Yeah, but I dont see how your people can get away of ignoring laws of physics, as this is what the parent comment by "Zambyte" mentioned.

jiri — Thu, 25 Sep 2025 09:12:20 +0000

Wouldnt be better to have sandboxing built directly to cpython? Why there is no such thing already "include" in cpython? Or maybe to create some limited sandboxed venv?

jiri — Thu, 11 Sep 2025 20:43:11 +0000

I am often surprised how Claude Code make efficient and transparent! use of memory in form of "to do lists" in agent mode. Sometimes miss this in web/desktop app in long conversations.

I used to run in on raspberry pi, it worked flawlessly. Its like a hardware container ;-)

New comment by jiri in "Ask HN: What is so good about MCP servers?"

jiri — Fri, 25 Jul 2025 07:52:36 +0000

If you use LLM CLI tools like Claude Code you can let model just call shell commands directly instead of MCP. Or does MCP have some advantage even in the scenario?

jiri — Sun, 08 Jun 2025 11:15:42 +0000

I am also worried a bit about knowledge nowadays.

With LLM-based AI, should one also store individual chats in personal knowledge system? Yeah, I believe that some my chats are quite full of relevant info, that can be used in the future.

Also what is the right general approach here - should I ask the same question several times (every time I need information) or should I just look up previous answer in my history? To be fair I dont store google results, I just search it again, but with chat the path to right answer is often more complex than spitting few words in google search input box.

With Obsidian, you have all your markdown files on your disk, so you can use vi or emacs to view and edit them while someone else put together replacement app ...

Looks like awful lot of work to create such battery packs. I guess next step is to automate general assembly and dissasembly of battery packs via some smart AI robotics.

Exactly. Otoh even the most patetic and slow cars can speed in urban zone with 30kph limit without problems.
