Check out the FUTO keyboard or FUTO voice input apps. It only uses the whisper models though so far.

Hello, just wanted to share. This piece just finally hit me with the surrealness of autonomous AI (with personality) in modern society is now a reality. It made me question what is consciousness? Do we need a biological body? Does a virus count as alive?

It feels like Sci-Fi novels coming true.

I think what you're trying to describe is a Jupyter notebook but in a slimmer package. Maybe marimo or quarto? Maybe there are already notebook viewers out there (on GitHub?) that only allow view or edit without code execution, if that suits your needs.

Hello, thanks for the work for finally having an analog to Claude Code.

A natural question to ask is, if in the near future, can Google One "Google AI Pro" subscribers have higher limits than what is offered for free users?

Looks like I just inadvertently skipped to level 4 every workday, due to working inside of a restricted area with lots of proprietary industrial stuff.

Yeah, I also found dotted notebooks to be the sweet spot. It's cleaner than a lined or gridded notebooks and especially helpful if they're already numbered.

The tweaks they found in the article is basically a proto-version of the Bullet Journal but just with its index system.

Physical notebooks are nice but as I have to come to know throughout the years, they are also kind of "disposable" and cannot survive long-term if you have to do any amount of moving. You wish you could keep all of your journals/notebooks in an archive but seems infeasible when you don't have your own house or your house is just too small. The rising rent and house prices just makes this all the worse.

They're doing the Apple strategy. Less spotlight for other third parties, and less awareness how they're lagging behind so that those already ignorantly locked into OpenAI would not switch. But at this point why would anyone do that when switching costs are low?

This is the whole main challenge of the quantified self movement all over again.

There's a lot of attempts to solve this problems but not much has been found, possibly because the whole setup of ELT processes is a lot of chores (just think about the whole inconsistent formats of data across services). It's like having a second job in data engineering, and I'm not even remotely in the software/data industry! I just like and do coding as a hobby.

From what I read and experienced, it makes the size of the Git repository much bigger than it should be with how Git tries to keep copies of old binary files (specifically the data and hash) since it cannot diff those unlike plaintext. You eventually have cache of the old files in the repo if you're not deliberate with setting --depth when cloning.

I see. I considered doing a static site dedicated to images on Cloudflare Pages and hotlinking from there. According to the docs[1], Cloudflare Pages projects support up to 20000 files.

Like encoded base64 and using a post-processor to convert the images?

Ask HN: Where do you store images for your static site?

jskherman — Sun, 21 Jul 2024 05:09:44 +0000

I'm currently using Zola as my static site generator and I'm looking into ways to store and serve images from. There are options like Cloudflare's R2 (S3-compatible), Cloudinary, or even a site dedicated to images and hotlinking to there. God forbid that the solution is committing binary images to the Git repository.

Do you have any recommendations that are portable (e.g. easy to switch vendors) and inexpensive, preferably free at the start?
