ELI5: If humans have been in our current form for 250,000 years, why did it take so long for us to progress yet once it began it’s in hyperspeed? We went from no human flight to landing on the moon in under 100 years. I’m personally overwhelmed at how fast technology is moving, it’s hard to keep up. However for 240,000+ years we just rolled around in the dirt hunting and gathering without even figuring out the wheel?

A few weeks ago, I wrote about an experiment to bring ChatGPT to Emacs as a shell . I was fairly new to both ChatGPT and building anything on top of comint . It was a fun exercise, which also generated some interest. As mentioned in the previous post, I took inspiration in other Emacs packages (primarily ielm ) to figure out what I needed from comint. Soon, I got ChatGPT working. As I was looking at OpenAI API docs, I learned ....

I built Ask Paul, a generative AI demo that answers front-end web dev questions using my content. It leverages Polymath-AI to index content, find related concepts, and generate summaries by creating embedding vectors, using cosine-similarity, and querying OpenAI. The implementation has a UI, a Polymath Client, and a Polymath Host. It's super cool how accessible this tech is now!

I recently worked on a small project using the Serverless Framework. As someone more experienced with terraform, I found it to be a new, interesting experience. It’s worth noting that Serverless uses CloudFormation underneath for AWS. After few weeks, I can share a bit of my personal thoughts about the framework. Firstly, the Serverless Framework is not a bad piece of software. It can deploy an API Gateway with a bunch of lambda functions i..

You usually need a media player on a system and mpv is my favourite. Other media players like VLC are still good but I prefer mpv. No Telemetry Unlike some other media players, mpv does not collect any information about its users. No opt-in or opt-out for it. It’s a pointless waste of bandwidth and doesn’t feel required anyways. Simple And Powerful Mpv has a very simple UI that is easy to navigate.
