PSA this is satire ;) (if you have to say it, that’s how you know it’s good)
The term that I saw once, and now constantly land back on, is “meaning shaped” At a quick glance, it looks like a thing that should contain meaning and substance. At any closer inspection, it falls apart completely.
“Honestly” / “the honest answer is” are huge LLM tells. Spend enough time arguing with Claude and hearing that combination of words starts making you wince / twitch uncontrollably. That said I enjoyed the article!
100% agree. Took me ages of working with the agents to circle back around this, which was the best way to get work done before AI automation anyways.
Openclaw allows you to effectively “shell out” to another harness for your model calls, while still using Pi as your main agentic harness. This is the claude -p workflow. Tools and skills are injected into Claude and…
If it's a big one and it's near you, you'd move away from the windows and heavy things that can fall, I suppose? For me I always just turn on iPhone screen recording and marvel at this amazing app and wish we had…
Felt it all the way in Tokyo! There is this amazing app called NERV that, whenever there is a large earthquake anywhere in Japan, sends you an early warning push notification and an animated display with shockwaves…
Yes, every day. Similar to other users here, giving it access to an Obsidian vault has been the key for me. And I wouldn't discount how much the chat interface matters - Telegram is so much nicer to use for extended…
Some creative workflows genuinely benefit from the tablet form factor. I often do serious photo editing on the iPad because I have access to Apple Pencil, and, somehow, holding the thing in my hands like an actual…
What an amazing feeling to see my flash animations I made when I was 13 on this site. Great project! What a unique era that time on the internet was. Can hardly imagine what my life would be today had it not been for…
Thank you! Almost all of my customers so far have been directly from the central Anki plugin directory. I made sure to use lots of SEO friendly terms / buzzwords in the title so that when people ctrl+f for AI or…
Making almost exactly $500/mo on an Anki extension that embeds AI / text to speech / image gen deeply into the app, allowing you to generate example sentences, audio, explanations, etc, for whatever you’re studying, in…
I do this, but it’s an Apple Notes file with a quick open shortcut mapped to the action button (side button) on my iPhone. I finally figured this setup this year. It had changed my life, in a minor yet significant way.…
How is doomscrolling profitable for Apple? Frankly I think it’s the opposite - Apple is one of the only BigCo without an advertising based biz model. Unlike say Meta, Apple didn’t profit directly from increased…
You’re decreasing coupling at the cost of introducing more entities, and a different sort of complexity, into your system. Sometimes it’s absolutely worth it. Sometimes not.
I can’t explain why but “He’s assigning 128 to a string called Q” made me absolutely lose it.
This is good to know. I’ll probably play around with it sometime in the future. BTW, appreciate your many great write-ups - they’ve been invaluable for keeping up to date in this space.
Such a useful walkthrough. It looks like Mitchell is using an agentic framework called Amp (I’d never heard of it) - does anybody else here use it or tried it? Curious how it stacks up against Claude Code.
Shameless plug for anybody who has been through the hell that is Anki card creation for language learning - I built an LLM powered extension for Anki that allows you to wire up fields to arbitrary prompts, and then…
> Another visitor was spending a leisurely week in Morioka alone before heading to Fukuoka for a few months. Oh hey, that was me! Small (internet) world, huh :)
> Do a bunch of other things Curious about this! Currently trying to figure out a good 0.3mg melatonin dosing regimine for myself.
Thank you :) And, sounds like great fun. Shoot me an email (in bio) or let me know how best to get in touch.
Wow, so feature rich, congrats on the release. Love that the mnemonic generation takes into account your existing memory anchors (didn’t know that term). I’ve actually been working on a similar-ish Anki Plugin for about…
I would suggest building something that you yourself find useful / solving a problem that you regularly face that doesn’t have a satisfactory off the shelf solution. Note that this implies spending time in a different…
That would be really cool. Unfortunately there's not much you can do on mobile with Anki extensions, so what you've described would have to be a standalone app. You could definitely wire up TTS fields with this add-on,…
