I'm also a fish fan and largely agree--but if you are forced to use Windows and you don't care for WSL, nushell is likely your best option. It's pretty good! Almost feels like Unix but you're in Windows. I don't think fish shell will be ported over to Windows anytime soon...


Git works pretty well for syncing binary files. You can even do this:

    $ cat .gitattributes
    *.db       diff=sqlite3
And you can know how the sqlite files changed between commits--but yeah if you make commits while a process is writing new rows or updating data then you'll have data loss if you make a commit on another machine--better to use something like litestream in that case

The gods strip off interesting bits of URLs when you submit it


if you saw that code you wouldn't deify it


It took me 4-5 attempts to not read:

Moloch was also a god!


The first example is a generator. If you wanted to keep that just use `()` instead of `[]`:

    ((name, value) for name, values in map_of_values.items() for value in values)


This is nice! But you should probably use $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR or /run/user/1000 instead of /tmp


I don't think this is FRED but rather Gergely making the implications but yes

FRED is just a descriptive tool: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/06/business/economy/fred-eco...


> Devs spot and fix hallucinations immediately, dismissing incorrect autocomplete suggestions

Some hallucinations stay in codebases longer than others! If there were zero hallucinations there would really be no novel output. Some hallucinations are useful and some are not.


The term "hallucinations" has always frustrated me. The marketing there makes sense, but an LLM that hallucinates is an LLM doing exactly what it was designed for -predicting what a human might say in response.

Facts don't really play a part there, if a response is factual its only a sign that the training set largely agreed on the facts (meaning the correlation of token sequence was high).


Calibre's ebook-convert is the best PDF to X that I've found. Of course, it's not perfect but PDF is a really hard format to convert from.


sounds like Pharo
