This is a pretty neat site. I remember having vague ideas about something somewhat close to this but doing nothing with them.
, , gear-maker. Working on
I lost you at quiet. I'm on a mech, one of the quieter vsrients but not so quiet. (Royal Kludge RK61)
My current daily driver is a Keychron K7 with banana switches. They're quite quiet. Would recommend the keeb, unless you're looking for something ultra premium. However, the battery gave out on mine within a couple years, so I have to keep it wired 100% of the time.
OK-M? I have the previous , 65%, and am very happy with it. I think it’s available both in quiet and noisy #versions (but the two I have are clicketyclicky). ducky ok-m
this is mainly a problem of switches. get a keyboard formfactor you like with a good body and replacable switches. thatll be the only keyboard you need for the rest of your life. if you want to change things up, buy new switches and caps.
i personally use Outemu Silent Lime V3 Silent Tactile switches from aliexpress, and highly recommend them as they are cheap, feel awesome and are very quiet

Finally got around to setting up Remux on my phone so I can connect to tmux sessions when I'm not at my laptop. Even just for around the house, this seems like it'll be super useful.
Tell us more! What apps are you operating?
This is for monitoring/poking agentic coding sessions while I'm not at my computer. So, typically Claude, Emacs, and an overmind process running my app locally in different panes of a tmux window.
Call me old fashioned, but instead of adopting one of the "agentic coding orchestration frameworks" that seem to basically be reinventions of tmux, I've been tweaking my tried-and-true tmux-oriented workflow to incorporate agentic coding harnesses in an ergonomic way. I'm currently still using Claude Code, but getting Pi-curious as local models advance.

"Beware those that would deny you access to information, for in their heart they dream themselves your master." — Sid Meyers:It seems like we've reached a point where mid-grade frontier models like Sonnet are good enough for most day-to-day tasks. And Sonnet-grade models are already runnable on the higher end of consumer hardware.
In which case, I can imagine a workflow where local models serve as workhorses for implementing plans that you may bump up to e.g. Opus or Sol to produce.
Introduced an MCP server this morning for the app I'm working on (getonmain.com), based on a user request. Curious to see how/if folks use it.
Overvalued, maybe. Extremely valuable, yes, though.
For sure. We're well past the point of being able to reasonably claim that the tools have no practical use.
But I share the article's skepticism that LLM-based AI will "produce a fully automated drop-in replacement for most knowledge workers". Which it at this point has to in order to justify these companies' stupendous valuations.
Tomorrow no but there will always be the “hope” which is enough for the next 20 years before giving up. Which meanwhile would be replacing larger and larger chunks of the workforce so it won’t really matter, we’ll be adjusting our lives around it as well so we meet in the middle.
Tesla has been overvalued for over a decade with the promise of “fully autonomous cars” and it’s still not losing its value, despite not meeting that (and probably never will, as the computation necessary to achieve it is bounded by physics).
Sigh. On the heels of , I just went into our garage to find a panel of insulation fallen to the ground, riddled with mouse droppings. 🤢😫
Cleaned it up (gloved and masked, naturally), but probably means we need to re-insulate the whole garage. Which will undoubtedly uncover a leak or some other issue. The fun never ends!

creator of textlog, I noticed sometimes playing a small sound, but it’s not clear to me what triggers it. It wouldn’t be a big issue either, if it didn’t pause music playback too 🥲

"Beware those that would deny you access to information, for in their heart they dream themselves your master." — Sid Meyersreplied to:The same was said when they finally, and late, joined the AI driven assistant/features. This time, though, it is tried and tested technology, so it is in their advantage.

More power to Apple for giving it a shot and testing the market. I just lament the opportunity cost, versus them investing in almost anything else instead.

"Beware those that would deny you access to information, for in their heart they dream themselves your master." — Sid Meyersreplied to:Since when do people need to want something to get it? 😅 The only drawback is the price; rather “hot” for this economy. I still think it will sell well. I am not spending a penny this year, for sure, but others will.

"Beware those that would deny you access to information, for in their heart they dream themselves your master." — Sid Meyers:Totally, $2k’s quite up there. I was interested to see what they released today, as I’ve currently got a 15 with a (non-catastrophically) cracked screen and water-intruded camera lenses. But given today’s roster, I’m inclined towards an iPhone 17.
Gave this evergarden colorscheme a shot after seeing it on lobsters today. Quite liking it.
I gotta confess, I vibe codet a Kirigami-based application and I liked it. I am a anti AI person, and cannot wait for the bubble to burst. Yet I see it can empower people that do not know a tech stack, and get good enough results out of it. However i also see, it makes you lazy (and frustrates as soon as it gets somewhat complicated). It seems it is being adopted everywhere. This is scary... if it becomes necessary, will you be able to find a job where they don't require you to use AI?
But maybe we'd all be a little saner if we remembered what we're actually doing: building tools to make our lives and the lives of others easier.
This resonated a lot. I’m glad I read it now, before going totally insane lol. But I disagree that it’s just a glorified spreadsheet. The UI/UX matters, how you present the data, how they can change and so on, all of those things play a role. The good thing with AI is iteration is cheaper than ever, so you can experiment and process the results quickly. But yeah sometimes I just do things here because I just have to be doing something, I can’t leave it alone.
Agreed. The "just" makes the statement sound dismissive, but I do agree with the underlying sentiment that most software boils down to CRUD apps that help people organize information and complete tasks more efficiently. I think the path to developer enlightenment is realizing this truth without despairing over it.
