I made this to try out Claude code. I have the $17/mo thing, and i don’t know rust. (I do know plenty of other languages.) Rust felt like a scripting language when used this way. I used a task system to force getting to a git commit before auto-compact. The completed tasks are in the repo allowing one to see what starting context kicked off the changes. It worked much of the time. It’s 8k of rust, 12k of markdown and i think the markdown helps to correctly interact with a codebase using agents just as unit tests assist in refactoring. On my I9 with a local gutenberg mirror this e2e discovers 20k+ english novels, splits them into sentences, normalizes the sentences, keeps the origination text span and writes it out as tsv’s. It takes 7 seconds to complete that for 7 Gb of novels. Most importantly it splits the sentences the way i needed for the start of my pipeline.
Definitely interested if anyone find cases where it mis-splits english text from a novel.
I used it for 2 weeks with the cheap $17/mo sub. It is equal parts amazing, and frustrating.
I ended up with 8k lines of rust and 12k lines of markdown. I think those markdown designs and explicit tasks were required the same way unit tests with a test harness are required to make the human-tool interaction work.
However, I’m not sure if the ‘magic’ is VC-subsidy or something else.
It did make rust (a language i do not know) feel like a scripting language. … the github repo is ‘knowseams’.
I loved discovering that rust has O(n) guardrails on regex! The so-called features that break that constraint are anti-features.
Over the last two weeks I wrote a dialog aware english sentence splitter using Claude code to write rust. The compile error when it stuck lookarounds in one of the regex’s was super useful to me.
Is there firmware to turn the Bose Alexa into just a Bluetooth speaker? I see there is a bose-dfu utility on github, but its list of supported devices is short (because the person who made it didn’t have other devices).
The bose speaker is sufficiently nice i might try to salvage it.
I really did like that kitchen timer. This seems like it would have been pretty good.
However. My wife is super pissed at Bezos. She unplugged all our echos. She has me researching to try decide between a Roku or Apple tv to replace the fire tv.
The amazon card went from 90% of our non-mortgage spending to 10% and dropping.
I honestly didn’t believe it would ever happen but I think we are probably going to drop Prime soon.
I’m still thankful for the Expanse, that show was great.
Federal officials stage a major law enforcement operation in a city with zero coordination with the mayor of that city, who instead learns about it from twitter.
A top U.S. Homeland Security official on Monday defended the federal crackdown on protests in Portland, including the use of unmarked cars and unidentified officers in camouflage gear and said the practice will spread to other cities as needed.
Restraining order issued against attacking journalists:
U.S. District Judge Michael Simon today blocked federal agents in Portland from dispersing, arresting, threatening to arrest, or targeting force against journalists or legal observers at protests. The court’s order, which comes in response to a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon, adds the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Marshals Service to an existing injunction barring Portland police from arresting or attacking journalists and legal observers at Portland protests.
Oregon just had their attempt to remove federal police thrown out.[1]
In a 14-page order, U.S. District Judge Michael W. Mosman ruled that the state lacked legal standing to bring the suit and had “presented no evidence that these allegedly illegal seizures are a widespread practice.”
Did you mean to reply https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23221433? I don't see how QEE is incompatible with the notion that measuring something necessitates interacting with it. Photons are usually measured by absorbing them and turning into electricity.
“By Feb. 25, Dr. Chu and her colleagues could not bear to wait any longer. They began performing coronavirus tests, without government approval.
What came back confirmed their worst fear. They quickly had a positive test from a local teenager with no recent travel history. The coronavirus had already established itself on American soil without anybody realizing it.”
This story strikes me as off. It runs counter to every other aspect of the virus we focus on. Specifically, if it was already spreading in schools, then why don't we see scores of critical kids and parents? With how contagious this is, I find it fairly unconvincing that it was just that student.
Combined with symptoms taking about a week to present, this was in community spread for a while. Yet, here in WA, the deaths figure is still 92% over sixty years old. I don't know the percent from long term care facilities. (I would love that stat.)
Then the question is at what point did it break into long term care facilities? And could we have done something to strengthen their protection?
With a further question of what, exactly, causes it to go severe.
Definitely interested if anyone find cases where it mis-splits english text from a novel.
