It’s fascinating to think about what role AI will play in corporations. I think it’ll take decades to fully play out. I’m working through an exploration of how AI will change the Coasean idea of “The Firm” on my site…
I tried brainstorming what an agent harness for writers would look like. https://chainofbranches.com/conversations/2/branches/20/ I’m not convinced it’s possible. A good nights sleep and a notepad in a quiet room still…
I use the shell script pattern. In bash the case statement at the bottom of your example can be replaced with this though: “${@:-default}” || usage
Yes exe.dev is the first cloud provider I actually enjoy using. It's easy to manage with just ssh and they give me real disks. The lack of real (EBS is still networked) persistent disks on ec2 instances causes me a lot…
I’m currently using sunshine and moonlight for remote access to ros2 development VMs with passed through GPUs. We needed an old version of Ubuntu hence the VM. And gpu pass through is needed for gazebo simulations. I…
GStreamer: https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/ is written in GObject which enabled some great tooling like gst-inspect-1.0: https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/tools/gst-in...
This. You can get very far with just dataclasses, enums, and functions. I use dataclasses like I would use structs in C or go.

I recently wrote a post for a coworker who asked the exact same question. https://dandavis.dev/llm-knowledge-dump.html
I’ve had a similar experience extracting transactions from my PDF bank statements [1]. GPT-4o and GPT-4o-mini perform as well the janky regex parser I wrote a few years ago. The fact that they can zero shot the problem…
The combat system in Civ4 was deeper than you think. Stack composition, terrain, and positioning are crucial in MP games. This write-up [1] from a famous MP game where a 3v1 invasion was repelled by superior play shows…
I am a custom home builder and we do this. It’s very handy when the drywallers cover up an outlet or switch.
Egg laying chickens (layers) are very different from meat chickens (broilers). Layers have been bred to be lean and put their calorie surplus into producing eggs. Broilers have been bred to pack on weight as quickly and…
The Open Library project https://openlibrary.org/developers has a free ISBN API. I used it along with tesseract OCR and a webcam to build a database of my physical books (218 total). I never had any rate limiting issues.
