Which AI coding package? Agent-shell? Gptel-agent?

Idunno, maybe the point of the project management system was to be able to make grandiose statements about your progress

Well, it sometimes happens if you read about the bool, e.g. Pynchon's V put me onto Heart of Darkness

I wish sports would be sports, business be business, and politics politics. Whenever they mix, it is for the worse.

You don't have to combine work and personal stuff in Emacs. You can for example set it up to just connect to work email and work jira and work slack and work clankers etc.

Oh wow that really drives home how bad agentic ai is compared to what most people use it for

Even without considering vibecoding, compile time and compiler/lsp memory usage are my main concerns with Haskell. In fact, I'd say they're even more of an issue if you're going without LLM's since they affect human beings ;)

kreyenborgi — Thu, 02 Jul 2026 14:54:57 +0000

There was researcher who said that democracies are strengthened by

* Good libraries

* Local news papers

* Volunteering

which all have to do with increasing community, seeing real people with different perspectives, gaining real knowledge.

Bookshop.org lets you filter by drm when you search.

https://www.bloomsbury.com has drm free stuff, and after https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42811332 i respect them even more.

Also might be worth scanning old mentions of such https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

Can one buy Tor books without going through Amazon? I had trouble doing that last I tried.

Same here. When I was younger I liked imagining having conversations with people from the past like Plato or something, thinking about their reactions to The Future. (Though I guess I only really imagined my own side of the conversation.)

"Trophic" typically means nutritional, what's the connection here?

Fascinating stuff regardless.

For me the biggest blocker is just picking a task from my todo list when I don't have someone asking me (today) and I didn't leave a task half finished. If it's been >1d since someone asked me for something, I'm often fairly paralyzed for a while and it's a huge exertion to commit to a task. But when I get going I'm fine. TODO lists, gtd, calendars or AI don't seem to help me there.
