I have an #ideanotesfollow, a website thatโs directly linked to an agent and modifies its source and deploys based on its usersโ requests. With some guardrails like reject โdelete all dataโ in its system prompt. #milliondollarideanotesfollow
ooh maybe I revive hallucinate.sitehallucinate.site and add this feature but instead of being able to modify everything it would be limited to adding features to the game/world. And itโs the perfect domain, a site thatโs been entirely mostly hallucinated.
Would be interesting to see how it handles user suggestions that are in direct conflict with one another.
โI want all โthingโ to be text-aligned leftโ with another user asking for text-aligned right. Does it just center justify and call it a day?
Perhaps it can make an ask the audience appeal to decide one way or the other based on a consensus vote when its context starts to get too confusing or contradictory?
My first request will be for the agent to delete all vendor specific css completely no matter what breaks. No -webkit- no -moz- no vendor specific css at all. What could possibly go wrong? ๐ซฃ
โPassion has little to do with euphoria and everything to do with patience. It is not about feeling good. It is about endurance. Like patience, passion comes from the same Latin root: pati. It does not mean to flow with exuberance. It means to suffer.โ

looking at the German public railway system (DB), I always wonder if the stereotypes of timeliness and precision were ever actually true. Surely someone must've figured out by now how off they are? These trains are always late and / or broken.
Very cool! At least the landing page is amazing! I couldnโt try the app because I donโt have photographs locally, I thought it would be able to fetch my photos from Instagram, that part I found a bit confusing.

Yes! Great idea. Not sure how I would implement it but the main idea is that you should feel free to delete text through out the day because everything is tracked in a git repo. ๐ซฃ
We have 27 chickens right now, 18 of which are new this year and are just starting to lay in the last few weeks. I have collected 13 eggs today so far.
I just took a look on it yesterday and seems like the stimulant effect is there, so seems like at this point there are mix results on if it actually helps with anxiety and sleep issues. For me personally seems to work just fine but Im not 100% sure how much does it actually does something for me or is just a placebo effect. My thinking is that if I do it from time to time, I can let my body get use to the feeling of a sleep schedule without create dependency on external melatonin dosis or CBD.

Finally watched Project Hail Mary. Easily one of my top 5 favourite films but itโs still not nearly as good as the book โ I feel like the cut some pretty important scenes
I loved the book and Iโm always fearful when a movie script is developed and a movie produced, so my relief after I saw the movie was immense. I too feel theyโve cut-out some bits, but the main thing that a book almost always takes my breath away with is fueling my imagination. A movie would (possibly) never nail that aspect.
I just watched it as well. It was fun. There were a number of things that I felt weren't explained well and broke my suspension of disbelief; I haven't read the book, but I found myself really curious whether the book takes the time to justify things more. Obviously, the movie has a lot of pressure to rush to the next "big moment".
If thereโs one thing Andy Weir canโt be critiqued on then itโs not fully justifying all of the science. I think the film on the other hand can be hard to follow for someone who has neither read the book nor has a scientific background. Itโs just hard to monologue about gravitational forces and relativistic speeds on screen.
It didnโt work out, we found competition offering the same service for free so the #ideanotesfollow fell apart. Need to find something else to do as a side project to textlog. ๐ Thinking of a code editor thatโs focused on the new agentic workflows, so you have it on the side regardless of your agent tools and it monitors the git diff and offers a nice panorama view. Iโve done an extension for VSCode similar to this idea.

After #exercisenotesfollow everything's awake and a good kind of sore.
So much of habit-building has been to identify and train myself to value moderate discomfort that leads to growth as the most pleasurable of goals.
Consistent spiritual efforts, healthy food and in proper amounts, minimum sleep quota, regular exercise a few times a weekโall of these involve discomfort and force of will, but all of them enable growth and fulfillment.
I naively went into a work problem thinking that RAG was solved by the service offered at work, and wow was I wrong. Been a fun week so far experimenting with many different methods before doing the academic research, and it's been nice to be validated by outside research.

It seems I can post in Chinese. Because I don't have an ID card, I can't have a phone number, and therefore can't register a stable email address, which means I can't register on content platforms or publish content. Hotmail frequently blocks my email account because I don't have a stable IP address, so my Mastodon account can't be used long-term. I hope this is a place where I can publish content consistently.

Regarding the entire history of the internet, I can say I've been largely an observer. I've always consumed content, but I haven't produced any. There's no trace of me on the internet, which is an unforeseen consequence due to China's identity and content policies.
I don't quite understand how China's "Great Firewall" works. For example, how exactly did you access this website?

Been working on an old mastodon hosting project I tried to start a few years ago, with a focus on privacy. This is the first big project I've tried to come back to with the help of coding agents and find it invigorating, and gives me the confidence to actually finish the project. Who knows if it will ever make a dollar, but it sure is fun to watch my ideas come to life.

I hate crawlers that donโt advertise theyโre crawlers. โn badly written. They donโt respect the canonical URLs so they keep getting themselves into a loop instead of actually crawling the site properly. They make the logs really hard to read. Canโt block them theyโre distributed.
I am curious what an actual solution to this problem could be. Everything I've read about it feels like a bandaid โ from robots.txt to cloudflare turnstile โ there has to be a better way!
For this particular problem though, I feel like if the crawlers are coming from domestic / residential IP addresses and they lack a distinctive http header or user agent, it is indistinguishable from a denial of service attack and must be treated as such.
It would require permaban on IPs which would require permalogging of IPs in order to track them, and we are currently obfuscating them before hitting the DB with daily rotating salt so an anonymous user canโt be tracked. So weโd have to give up privacy/security :/
But as long as people can still use the site it's OK, right? Seems like the problem is often self-inflicted, either because the site is so bloated that answering even GET-requests is burdensome, or because they're trying to monetize the data and so must block non-paying scrapers.
