Unfortunately not many humans bother to read my website. If LMMs will read and learn from it then at least my work has some benefit to something.


LLM have been shown to not summarize the actual content of what you give them as input but some statistical mashup of their training data and the input. So they will misrepresent what you in the end, pushing the readers (note not "your readers") towards the median opinion.


No syntax highlighting for Clojure :'(

No Emacs keybindings :'(


but then you dont have visibility of what changes you have made. having config management improves visibility of how something is configured


I don't think I've done anything to my laptop that I can't google in a minute or two at the most. I don't really need that visibility. If I need to know something very specific, I could always drop it into a note to keep.

The visibility of the changes aren't a virtue in themselves, it is only when you do something with them that they become useful.

Spending hours documenting my build system for my pet laptop to save myself 60 seconds a few times a year isn't a good payoff for me. If the payoff is that you also learn configuration management along the way, then that's fine.

(I also don't quite understand how you're testing and validating your build system for your laptop without periodically wiping it and reprovisioning it -- and once you start considering things like that I definitely don't have enough time for all that)


Each system has a text file where I note down the steps I did to install and configure something new or also when doing major changes. Also the steps for less often routine jobs (like major OS updates) get entries. On one hand it is kind of a log book what changed on the systems and also is a wonderful sources for when you need to do it the next time.


I always wondered why cars dont give an indication when a bulb blows. Should be pretty easy to do and improve road safety.


Every car built in the last 20 years can detect when a bulb blows. Doesn't seem like it accomplishes much given how many people just straight up ignore warning lights on their dashes.


My 2008 Honda doesnt. Good to know some cars are doing this now.


:o


but almost no-one actually uses bitcoin as a currency


wow, great game!


Hi, author here, I can't send you a sample because of copyright but get "scare force one" by Lordi on CD and rip it into any format.


Hi, this isn't related to the parent comment, but I'm wondering why you went through all this effort, which you don't seem to have enjoyed, just to be able to listen to music at home but not at your desk. Isn't all the stuff you have pretty bulky to be carrying around? Not to mention the portable CD player probably skips if you're walking around with it somehow in a pocket.

It seems like all of this could be solved with some bookshelf speakers. You can hook up your portable CD player or browse Craigslist/Goodwill for an older HDCD player that'll run higher sampling rates and queue up multiple CDs, have music for cooking/cleaning/exercising. Maybe even get a Chromecast Audio and have effortless streaming.


Google search has always been successful because it was the best. Seems they don't want to be the best anymore.


Most shared hosts are scams that dissable your account if you get any traffic. But Mythic Beasts is great I host 5 websites on them for the cost of a panini. They host my email too, works fine.
