Been suffering the same, I'm used to having so many days (weeks/months) when I just don't get that much done. With LLMs I can take these days and hack around / watch videos / play games while the LLM is working on background and just check the work. Best part is it often leads to some problematic situation that gets me involved and often I'll end up getting a real day of work out of it after I get started.
There are ESP32 watches. One I have[1] comes with quite thick 940mAh battery but my understanding is the battery life still isn't that amazing (just got it, haven't really tested the battery) - something like less than a day of constant runtime or few days if you turn it off constantly
Yeah I got one of those as well. An the older non-S3 version. Fun for developing, very powerful. I use it for developing ML applications for watches etc (emlearn project). Great device for that, but battery life is not its strong point.
I basically did this with aider and Gemini 2.5 few days ago and was blown away. Basically talked about the project structure, let it write the final plan to file CONVENTIONS.md that gets automatically attached to the context, then kept asking "What should we do next" until tests were ready, and then I just ran a loop where it modifies the code and I press Return to run the tests and add the output to prompt and let it go again.
About 10 000 lines of code, and I only intervened a few times, to revert few commits and once to cut a big file to smaller ones so we could tackle the problems one by one.
I did not expect LLMs to be able to do this so soon. But I just commented to say about aider - the iteration loop really was mostly me pressing return. Especially in the navigator mode PR, as it automatically looked up the correct files to attach to the context
The biggest issue I've seen with these is the networking limitations in a browser - there might be hundreds of seeders for a video and using a normal streaming torrent video player works well, but as torrent clients in the browser need to use WebRTC / WebTorrent, there might be just 0-5 seeders supporting it. I don't see much adoption for WebTorrents before the widely used standard Bittorrent clients support the protocol.
Felt it in Northern Thailand, I've lived through many earthquakes around here but this was on completely different level - usually I notice some open doors and hanging things shaking and can slightly feel it, but today I felt worried if my house is going to crash down and all my neighbors ran to the street. (our houses are built on ~1m stilts to protect from floods)
Sadly didn't receive a notification from Android this time, last time I got it about ten seconds before the shaking began.
I would at least expect a Cell Broadcast to be deployed (The TelCo Authorities/Providers and Disaster Management Authority has been testing it last year and expected to be deployed in Q2 2025). According to the press conference, the system can be activated, but it wasn't until 2:30 PM that the Disaster Management Authority decided to ask the TelCo to send SMS (not via Cell Broadcast). In my case, it wasn't until 7:40 PM that I received guidance from the authority.
Some people are claiming that they received alerts from other apps that target Thai people, such as gaming app, novel reading app and call screening app. Even the SNS account of online gambling site (illegal in Thailand) managed to provide guidance faster than the government's own response. Red Tapes on triggering the warning means no one was even sure what is going on, and has to resort for self-reporting or SNS.
To me it was clear there's no line after the Ukraine extortion scandal. When you extort your ally in war to make up lies about your political opponent and your supporters take your side, there's clearly no limits. I gave up arguing with MAGAs after that, it's pointless.
Though the new Signal leak is quite funny, there must be a ton of people who were so angry for Hillary's emails their face matched their hat color, but now are attacking the reporter for just reporting that he was sent classified information.
We were selling arms to Iran to fund the contras in Niaragua, and we (they, from where I sit) negotiated the hostages held by Iran to be held for an extra 100 days or so in order to make Jimmy Carter look bad. Also maybe flubbed the rescue mission to undermine him. We've not ever been too keen on lines.
Just trowing out another similar, LazyVim[1]. I tried different neovim and emacs configurations over few years until stumbling on LazyVim and have been really happy with it for quite a while now - everything works out of the box, easy to add stuff and reasonably good documentation.
LazyVim wasn't even around when I first tried Neovim. Knowing what I know now, this would definitely be my distro of choice. The maintainer, Folke, is an incredible programmer and has made many of the most popular plugins used by the community.
