I kinda like the thought but wouldn't a simple action that sends email to the archive list for all senders that aren't on your contact list handle this? That's what I do with my phone, …

One down-side to this is that it does require you to run the agent on your Mac instead of in a Sandbox. I do this too and there are lots of problems I can't solve in a sandbox. I know a lot of yo…

I’d be willing to help with that, pro bono. I like my tech minimal, so I’m a fan of small and fast html/css with a bit of JS when necessary. Today this is probably a quick project with an AI tool…

Deleted. I somehow managed to reply to the wrong thread.

Nice. I love zines and I’ll enjoy checking out those other links.

You’re not alone. I haven’t looked at this for my own content (I really only publish on the web) but I’m encouraged that it’s search and not analytics. I don’t use Google Analytics on my site for priv…
comment
I’ve been wondering if chat is the wrong interface for slower local models (and some projects) and maybe something like a ticket system is a better fit. I just decided how I would test this idea on my…

I had the most fun taking pictures with a cheap, low-quality camera that I only owned for a few months before it died. This one might fit the bill nicely. The skill or unknowns of the viewfinder might…

I think he’s wasting time.
comment
I just skimmed and read parts but I really enjoyed reading this. It's like my own handwritten notes which are just stray thoughts about a subject. Maybe I should publish more of those and I love …

I find it still asks too many questions. Unless I'm not triggering it as often as I think I am.
comment
This sounds like an interesting path. Wish I had time (instead of reading endless prompts and getting fatigued).
comment
As an aside… I wonder why “80 mph” was picked as an arbitrary value. In rural areas of Utah we have 80 mph posted limits and prima facie speed laws. A lot of Utah drivers regularly exceed 80 MPH and I…

I have a TRS-80 that still ran last time I tried. It used audio cassette tapes for storage, but I don't have one, so I built a cable to use a modern voice recorder to read and store data on. I&#x…

Today the Mini tops out at 48GB. Gotta go to the Studio to get 64GB.
comment
I agree with the learning aspect, but I have another motivation. I suspect that closed models might become too expensive to run for personal hobbyist use. I’ve been planning to buy a 64GB machine just…

Many of these, from the mid 1800’s, would have been printed on a press with metal letters. A modern open font that might match the style is Old Standard TT. https://fonts.google.com/sp…

The Studio I looked at yesterday jumped from $2600 to $3400 (30%). I was saving for it and was about 1/2 way there. I was expecting these increases in 2027, so planned to buy late in the year. Ap…

Why does Bloomberg get into so much activism?
comment
At least you were able to restore them. 25 years ago I was using the service and went a while without logging in. They deleted some of my favorite photos. They were photos I had taken with a cheap $20…

Daily Roku user here. I'm not sure what you mean about Amazon and the fastforward button.
comment
Yeah, I hate the remote, which is why I never use Apple TV even though I both own one and have the Apple TV service. Maybe I'll try the remote the other user here mentioned.

Looks cool, I’ll checkout the book. Your download links (PDF and EPUB) are down for me. > NoSuchKeyThe specified key does not exist…

I'm running an M3 on an Air with just 16GB. I can still get useful results without an internet connection in "chat mode". It's a different experience than using Claude, for sure, b…

I made an envelope accounting page for my accounts that don't have it. Prior to AI I was just complaining about it, even though I'm a developer. https://buckets.joelryan.com …

Plus $15k to move them for new shingles when the time comes, if they’re on shingles. I wonder why we don’t use them to build shade structures instead.
comment
A contractor showed me how to fix dents in granite with superglue. It’s totally clear. The trick is to scrape it with a razor blade at a 90 degree angle (strait horizontal). The imperfections become n…

Here’s a weird aside… I like to create little businesses. Most of them are unsuccessful. I tried to get a bit of business liability insurance, including E&O for this, but it’s proven to be somewha…
