<p>100% this.<p>I did run a Hackintosh back in 2015. I bought all the 100% compatible hardware, ran all the updates and firmwares from tonymacx86, etc.  And even went through a couple painful upgrade cycles, until the M-chips came out....<p>Now, I just want a Arch-based custom dev machine, and in the era of vibe-coding self-indulgent vanity software, I can more than make up for the flows and tools I had on my mac that won't work on Linux, which isn't much.</p>

<p>anyone else been trying the new Siri AI intelligence on their phone and been underwhelmed?  It's really slow, no longer gets adding grocery items to the right lists, etc.  Did I mention how slow it is to inject an LLM turn on everything?  Hopefully they'll fix all that by the time it's out of beta... But it's so rough to me that it's really ruined the experience of the device. Apples voice-to-text still isn't good compared the what I used to have on my Android phone pre-2024, when I switched to Apple ecosystem....</p>

<p>A clickable TUI is contrarian to why I use most CLI tools.  Neat that they could build this, though, because it suits their needs.<p>I'm fine with K9s and lazygit key-driven interfaces.<p>I guess one thing that's good about a clickable TUI is that maybe it's easier to approach for some, wihtout releasing yet another memory hog Electron App?</p>

<p>Couldn't we make an argument that Meta is using AI to behaviorally target chronic lazy thinkers?<p>On a serious note: no idea why we legalized nation wide (maybe it's just certain states) gambling on Sports.  Money talks. We know this.<p>I lived in Boston during the early hey day of DraftKings in 2015 when it was just a game, and they spent something like 250M of series C money on marketing [1]. The entire city was pretty much "littered" with ads.  Everywhere you looked. I interviewed there as it was one of the hottest startups in the city.  But for some reason, I knew it was a front-door into sports betting and I was pretty off-put by the whole thing. Didn't know it would go as far as it did, though. (Also, I didn't want to write C#.)<p>A toast to all of you who've left career money on the table because you have some minimal form of ethics and morality.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.vox.com/2015/7/26/11615054/another-unicorn-is-born-draftkings-snags-300-million-and-massive-fox" rel="nofollow">https://www.vox.com/2015/7/26/11615054/another-unicorn-is-bo...</a></p>

<p>I vibed most of it (and though I like the code that was output, I coached it with some custom skills).  If I were to share it out, I'd probably clean up some of the tools to make their interfaces smaller and cleaner.  And make the docs a lot simpler.  I'd probably also create some form of dashboard so you can see what's happening (all the docs scraped and saved), etc.<p>EDIT: it's also the type of thing that feels very personally customized for my needs.  I encourage you to build something similar on the idea.  Much like how Karpathy Wiki was suggestive and not a runtime to just use...</p>

<p>Yeup, as I mentioned, it kind of feels like a Yak-shave....but it was fun building it, and gave me some experience with agentic coding and new technologies I don't normally work with.  It's nice to dig into for some research.<p>The biggest win was the realization that both firefox and chrome maintain all the links you visit in a very queryable SQLite database.  I've been poking at that for a lot of custom tools, like WHAT JIRA tickets am I paying attention to this week, etc....</p>

<p>Kind of related to this in that I built it to hoard knowledge from web pages I've visited along with implementing a Karpathy-style LLM Wiki, but the knowledge is collected automatically from sources I browse.<p>I have it up on GitHub, but I don't think anyone should use my implementation.<p>Loosely, what I built:<p>* On each of my machines I have a cron job running that looks at all my web browser history (usualy it's inspecting the brower's SQLlite across firefox and chrome).  If it matches my rule list: hacker news stories, certain reddits, etc.  it'll grab the page, convert to markdown and drop in my Obsidian Vault incoming.<p>* It has a whole de-duping architecture since I might open the same page on multiple machines. Uses the CloudFlare SQLITE D1 storage for tracking the processed links.<p>* it'll then trigger the LLM to do some Karpathy wiki style taxonomy assignment to the articles, organize them, create an index etc.<p>It's then available for my "bot" stuff to do writings for me.... I will probably write more about it at some point.  I'm not certain it's totally useful and not just a yak-shave on hoarding knowledge.<p>Ai-drafted article on this [1]<p>Example AI-Drafted article based on some discussions the other day on Ollma vs LLama.cpp [2]<p>[1] <a href="https://taude.xyz/posts/how-archivore-turns-browsing-into-a-wiki/" rel="nofollow">https://taude.xyz/posts/how-archivore-turns-browsing-into-a-...</a><p>[2] <a href="https://taude.xyz/posts/skip-ollama-run-llama-cpp-directly-on-a-mac/" rel="nofollow">https://taude.xyz/posts/skip-ollama-run-llama-cpp-directly-o...</a></p>

<p>100% this, and it is annoying. I pay for street parking (i'm ok with it, it's a tax base for the city I live in), but i'm not Ok with having to pay .50 per transaction. And i used to carry a stack of quarters in my car.  And then you add all the vendors with their proprietary apps in this space, the tracking of the data of what car parked where, when, etc.<p>I'm suprised they were allowed to remove the coins from the meters, but they were. So people who don't have a premiere phone, because the apps don't work on your old crappy phone, or people who don't have a credit card to feed into the app on the phone, are SOL.</p>

<p>People do so much hacking and such on things like the Billy bookcase.

I've watched several videos of people spending multiple weekends turning them into built-ins....and then at the end of the day, it's still a cheap ikea, cardboard shelf, that will bow under weight, etc....</p>
