New features for the logseq openai plugin and my thoughts on why Large Language Models are interesting


The nanoPi R4S is a great router with a very efficient metal enclosure to keep it cooled, but it has one defect: it’s flat on the base. I mean that it doesn’t have anything that can rise it few centimeters from the table, in order to allow a small flow of air under it, and also to avoid scratching or damage (with the heat) your table/forniture. To solve this, in the beginning I was using some stupid plastic, or metal, “feet” under ..

BreezeWiki Cadence teasered BreezeWiki some time ago , and since then we've uh, actually been quite excited to host it, and then its release was announced some time later, and we've been hosting it pretty much since then. If you uh, ever need to visit a Fandom site, feel free to use our instance as a proxy for that. No more ads and weird video banners. Libreddit We discontinued hosting Libreddit a while ago, but, since it's maintaine....

Hey everyone, I’m very sorry for the long absence. It’s been a while since I’ve written, and so much has changed. In August, I took my 1988 Suburban, loaded it up with a 12 foot UHaul trailer, and dragged all my belongings from rural Western Washington to rural Western Nevada, about 30 miles from Reno. … Continue reading The post Fall/Winter 2022 Update… Let the 3d Printing Begin! appeared first on MiscDotGeek .

How do you build a REST API using the Flask web framework? How can you quickly add endpoints while automatically generating documentation? This week on the show, Real Python author Philipp Acsany is here to discuss his tutorial series "Python REST APIs With Flask, Connexion, and SQLAlchemy." Christopher Trudeau is also here with another batch of PyCoder's Weekly articles and projects.

The Crow Comes Last is a collection of thirty short stories written between 1945 and 1948, primarily based on the author’s wartime experiences as a resistance fighter during WWII and then in postwar Italy. Some are brutal, others funny, and some are gritty. They all revolve around the themes he perfectly defined while talking about his book: I prefer to divide the subject into three parts, to highlight three thematic lines of my work fr..

Having recently set up a Mastodon instance I wanted to play around with using Mastodon's statuses API endpoint to create a simple bot that publishes toots. As well as letting me play around a little with the API, the bot provides a way for others to follow my content on Mastodon without necessarily having to follow me : Those who want to can follow @rssbot@mastodon.bentasker.co.uk and not be subjected to any of my idle chatter. I....

New Service, FullTextRSS ~aryak Wed, 23 Nov 2022 A few days back I setup FullTextRSS a tool that allows you to extract full text of articles from RSS feeds. This is an addition to FreshRSS (web RSS reader) and RSS-Bridge (RSS feeds for services that don’t have them) and we hope this makes our suite for avid RSS users very complete. Thank you for being a part of ~vern.

New Service, Penpot ~aryak Wed, 23 Nov 2022 Today I setup Penpot, a Figma alternative for ~vern. Though I am not really a designer, I can see this service being useful for many and will help prevent centralization of penpot. Since I could not get the Sign-Up thing working, Penpot will remain On Request for now. Thank you for being a part of ~vern.

White areas show points of earth on land whose antipode is also on land. This is only about 8.6% of all of earth’s surface. If you want to fly across the Pacific Ocean, you’ll have to board an airplane and fly around 12 hours. It’s pretty slow. A much faster route would be to go directly through the center of the earth. “Digging to China” was a common expression I heard growing up, with the implication that the opposite side of the glob..

I run a Miniflux instance on my desktop computer, which fetches all my feeds and makes the content available locally. Inspired by a discussion the other day on HackerNews , I wrote a little script that asks Miniflux for a list of my feeds in OPML format and turns it into an AsciiDoc page, which I publish on here, as my BlogRoll & Links page : import os import sys import urllib.request import xml.etree.ElementTre....

The Dojima rice market, established around 1716, is widely considered to be the world’s first organized futures exchange. Instead of directly exchanging money for rice on the spot, merchants would agree on a price and future date at which rice and money would be exchanged. This allowed farmers and consumers to hedge their risk. As a result, information about the abundance or lack of rice would travel across the country as fast as rice merch..

In Part 4 of our series, we focused on the file system and before concluding, we were able to extract files from two UBIFS images contained within the firmware. Here in Part 5, we will try to better understand the structure of the root file system by introducing some basic concepts of the operating system used by Reolink RLC-810A, namely Linux. -Continue to read the article on SerHack.me

What do I mean by trick/hack? This can be super flexible, but I’ll toss out a few of my own personal ones. One of the rules of my product management philosophy, is if you’re going to use a tool or trick then use it often. This is in fact one of my favorite interview questions for PMs. If you ever interview with me, be prepared it’s coming. It applies for engineering managers and others in leadership roles as well, but I’ve found especiall....

I’ve explored DHH ’ s way of writing Rails applications. His introduction of CurrentAttributes and suppressors of callbacks a few years ago made me want to revisit his Youtube Screencasts on Basecamp 3 and try to really appreciate this approach with an open mind. I soon understood our fundamental difference in thinking. DHH approaches application code as an interconnected web of rich models. Each model is chock-full of concern....

In the previous post , we defined the resistance function that show sensitivity of the given estimator to the low-density regions. We also showed the resistance function plots for the mean and the sample median. In this post, we explore corresponding plots for the Harrell-Davis median.

Abstract TL/DR I present what I belive is a unique index for indexing and searching source code. It copies ideas from Bing bitfunnel implementation to create a very fast, memory efficient trigram index over source code. searchcode.com is now using a custom built index written by yours truly It indexes 180-200 million documents and 75 billions lines of code The index works using bloom filters sharded by unique document trigrams It borrows....

In a study that Ars Technica reported on , researchers found that an alarming number of computer repair technicians snooped through clients’ devices—and female clients were way more likely to have their data accessed. Yikes! I once had to take my laptop to get some repairs done. The TAB key on my 2016 MacBook Pro had started glitching, and that wasn’t going to fly when I was working on code and needed my tab completions and app switc....

Blogging as DRY - seirdy.one - 3 years ago - eng
The “Don’t Repeat Yourself” (DRY) principle is my main motivation for adding content to my site—especially to my “notes” section . I’ve gone as far as linking my own website in online class discussions (not as a citation; just for DRY). This also combines really well with the Publish on your Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere (POSSE) principle. Often, a post of mine syndicates well to multiple destinations. I might reply to a forum on my si..
