Clever use of email delay features to provide extra motivation to pull out the thoughts and post them to yourself. Thats a good habit cycle to power up and use.

I used to do morning pages each day, but i stopped because it seemed to be too hard to maintain the discipline. Everything takes discipline for me to do, if I want to act better than an overgrown toddler, i do have adhd but thats a challenge not a get out of grow up jail free card.

Whoever robbed me of my joyous hope and reward for doing good like journalling, just know I will start that back up someday. Perhaps tomorrow

Yeah having the messages be e2ee by default and then extending it out to one or more groups depending in which circles are currently included for messages could let atproto act like an encrypted group chat with crisscrossing group chats per message, which can ratchet up and along with the new enceyption keys each message/batch of 10 messages/hour/day until that client is dropped from a group or a group is dropped from a conversation, then the keys change and pfs prevents old clients from continuing to read future messages.

Sure you can see that users emit messages in the pds but you dint know if its for your former group or other activitt

I like the fact that Sony's own Betamax victory in the past (when someone else tried to nail THEM for contributory copyright infringement) was used against them now. My, how the turn-tables turn!

This is what I've been trying to get nanobot to do, so thanks for sharing this. I plan to use this for workflow definitions like filesystems.

I have a known workflow to create an RPG character with steps, lets automate some of the boilerplate by having a succession of LLMs read my preferences about each step and apply their particular pieces of data to that step of the workflow, outputting their result to successive subdirectories, so I can pub/sub the entire process and make edits to intermediate files to tweak results as I desire.

Now that's cool!

Love to hear it! Thanks for checking it out and feel free to put up an issue on GitHub if you have any ideas for improvements.

Where is the nanobot approach not working for you?

For me its mostly that nanobot is very not stable, its only 0.1.4.post4 and who knows what software provenance it's got. Functionality that worked last week doesn't work this week (anecdote: I used to be able to do long tool chains and conversations back to back but after more recent updates, the tool seems to only do one tool write then report back that it's done more tool writings and I have to remind it to finish the job).

I still hold my uncles HTC dream and my droid 2 and wish for a landscape slider android phone. This is not Atlantis technology! Though it is 20 years old now, so probably there are HN readers here who think of that device with the same alien fascination I have for those who carried around Psion 3s in their college days when I was eating crayons.

Suddenly got that too. I let archives push me off quad9 but now cloudflare has to go too? Hmmm IDK if I want to read this article that bad.

that's one of my AI shower thoughts, an improved version of https://www.ollydbg.de/Paperbak/ s basic idea: write compressed computer data to barcode (1d), QR code (2d), multi-color barcode ('3'd), and so on.

But I keep hoping someone will finish the 'use lasers to burn 5d storage into glass chips' project silica concept and bring it to market so I can have isolinear star trek chips.

A cheesy Roller Coaster Tycoon clone in a browser, one-shotted from an AI? Amazing capabilities. The entire "low code drag n drop" market like YoYoGames Game Maker and RPG Maker should be ready to pack it in soon if this keeps improving in this way.

I forget if it was Samsung or Sony, but somewhere along the way on my internet journey, someone claimed, without evidence, and thus I have none either, that the incentive structure for having prestige jobs at large technology companies was always in hardware design and software was seen as easier and more low class.

So since nobody will get any promotions for running good software, they are not incentivized to run good software, and therefore they do just enough to get by?

This is historically the reason software engineering in Japan has lagged and there's such a talent shortage (leading companies like mine to hire mostly foreign software engineers). I've heard it's changing, but it'll take a long time to catch up.

When I was working for Microsoft China, many of our foreign engineers were Korean and Japanese, who were in China for the higher paychecks.

Yes this is true and it might possibly be true for the rest of East Asia though I'm not sure. Software is considered intangible and thus low value that anyone can do, whereas hardware is a real "thing" that you can hold in your hands, and is therefore more prestigious. Well, this way of thinking has made things into the current state.

This was and partly is the attitude you can find in german non-software businesses where software is gaining more and more influenxe. For example car manufacturing.

I don't think this is an interesting take for anyone, but this reminds me of how the nineteenth century American political system was called the spoils system, and this seems like a twenty first century echo of that.

That is a completely apt comparison, especially in light of a recent SCOTUS decisions that allow the president to appoint loyalists to positions previously supposed to be non-partisan.
