I have ADHD, and my calendar is a graveyard of things that were totally fine right up until they were on fire.

So about to release an iOS app that sends me early notifications about what to actually prepare, or do.

Best examples so far: on my last trip it pinged me the night before with a packing list based on the weather at my destination. Also reminding me to book a table for a dinner planned.

It's here for the waiting list: https://heylife.ai

protomaps is also great for that. open source and straightforward

why am i looping back in the captcha when confirming?

just made a slither io: https://antics.gg/r/4L5PUV

shameless plug, been working a a voxel editor to create voxels that you could use to decorate a home for a a little creature you have to take care of(a la sims). if anyone has some feedbacks, would be happy to take them!

Working on a proactive AI agents that read your calendar and give you pertinent advices on what you should do. For example you have a flight in 2 weeks, tell you what to pack. When you arrive , tells you the best way to get to the city.

You have your mum's birthday, give you a heads up on buying a gift or booking a restaurant.

I'm now enrolling people on testflight: https://heylife.ai

and try to create your own furniture with the voxel editor! https://kamio.ai/studio !

it would be awesome if a local model would be directly embeded to chrome and developer could query them.

Anyone know if this is somehow possible without going through an extension?

that's so fun ! how do you know when to call haiku or sonnet?

is there a way to visualize what your agents are doing? I'm adding a bunch of debug code to the claude agent sdk, but it's a bit overwhelming to read at some time , but I just want to see visually what how it does all the tools calling, what files it reads etc…

Do you know if there was any guidelines to not "disturb" during his climb? Was shocked by how many people tried to distract him during that climb

shameless plug for folks in taiwan: we do regular meetup in Taiwan - join us! https://taipeidev.com

appreciate the advice! Launching a 2D game generator with an editor, and expecting those people to share the games . Not multiplayer yet.

The lightsail instance sometimes just hangs and we have to reboot it when people performing simple action like login or queryng API (we have a simple express / nextjs app)

AWS won't raise the limits on our new account (we're stuck at 1GB RAM in Lightsail after 2 months, even though we need to launch this month).

Looking at Hetzner or Vultr as alternatives. A few folks mentioned me Infomaniak has great service and uptime, but I haven't heard much about them otherwise.

Anyone used Infomaniak in production? How do they compare to Hetzner/Vultr?

Shameless plug: for those who are interested, I've built https://aidailycheck.com that tracks sentiment around any of the major LLMs. I've created a Claude Code extension where you get the sentiment directly in the CLI.

Wondering if after this comment, you'll get more visit from those bots.

I guess 2024, revenue is still prioritized over search quality? Anyone found better alternative to Google Search, even paid?

I now use chatGPT for translating english to traditional Chinese and give me some variations. Definitely works better than Google translate.

For example for "I want to build a good gym routine":

我想建立一個良好的健身計畫。 Wǒ xiǎng jiànlì yīgè liánghǎo de jiànshēn jìhuà.

Here are some variations of the sentence along with their English translations: 我想制定一套有效的健身計劃。 Wǒ xiǎng zhìdìng yī tào yǒuxiào de jiànshēn jìhuà. I want to create an effective workout plan.

我希望安排一個健康的健身日程。 Wǒ xīwàng ānpái yīgè jiànkāng de jiànshēn rìchéng. I hope to set up a healthy fitness schedule.

ps: I am building an app to make learning chinese easier. Feel free to ping me privately for testing :)

I live in Taiwan and try to run some beach volleyball games. It's not common here, and not easy to find players. Writing this article[1] helped me to recruit constantly new players (it ranks 1st/2nd in Google).

Sometimes I write about things I want people know about Taiwan like their bike-sharing system[2], semiconductors[3], or simply good food in Taiwan[4].

Sometimes, I write about tech stuff, like kubernetes cpu limits[5] or blockchain consensus[6].

I thought about focusing in a single topic, but when people reaches me out, like today[7] about my food post, it reminds me that it is fine, and make me quite happy that I helped one soul out there.

We've started using Rush [1] at Buffer. Teams have been slowly migrating, and it has been great so far. We had (too many) repos with their own workflow and way too many different ways to build services, which has been annoying to maintain. I know teams use Rush at scale: Tiktok has ~450 projects, and Microsoft said they have ~700 projects.

To deploy the services locally, we use Tilt[2] (K8s for local). We want to be able to reproduce production as much as possible and remove developer overhead on how things work locally and in production.

Then come the issues with Docker and large node code bases:

1 challenge with large monorepos is the huge node_modules folder (rush among other tools put packages into a single large node_modules folder, and symlink every dependency there. It can contain millions of files and GBs, depending on how many 3rd-party libraries you use). On Linux, you can mount it without issues, but Mac has performance issues[3] with large folders.

We pre-build that huge node_modules into a "base" image, and each service in the monorepo pulls that base image and only mounts what's necessary (a few mb). So we can save that npm build time and don't need to copy all those files inside the containers. It is fine because package.json does not change that often. You need to do this pre-build locally then in your CI/CD -> dockerhub, so everyone can get it.

Another challenge is that you need to "watch" files to rebuild them. Watching all your files inside the monorepo isn't really viable. We use a dependency graph to know what services to watch and then copy the built files inside the Tilt containers.

Hope this can help people.

Hey! we did 2 events in Taipei in 2022 w/ 30-40 ish people attending each time. We will try to keep it running regularly in 2023. Happy to join force if you want to help making it happen more regularly!

We have started a sucessful one in Taipei, Taiwan a few months ago [1] with 40+ hackers.

If folks here interested into an other one, reach me out or reply here.

Running Kubernetes in production, we've also decided to adopt tilt and get rid of Docker compose. Our own tooling with docker compose has been to painful to maintain, and there was too many workaround to try to replicate what we have in production.

There is no magic: your body needs to burn more than what you eat. I think those advices are fairly "easy" to implement:

- eat less - intermittent fasting is easy: just skip 1 meal, everyday, make sure to have 16hours fast. For me 1 skip breakfast.

- drink water, coffee, tea when you want to eat during the fasting time , or want to snack. If you really need to snack, eat nuts.

- stop any soda and fruit juice - they have so much calorie and sugar into it... drink water, tea or coffee instead.

- workout / do any sport, at least 3 times a week, at least 1 hour session each.

- you gym needs to be at 5 minutes reach so you can't make any excuses.

- gym can be boring, try a new sport you can stick with. I usually do volleyball and go to gym, but willing to go to hikes or bouldering with friends from time to time.

Any plan for TWD? It's a real challenge to transfer USD or Euro to TWD. Fees are crazy high. I can hook you up with the foreigners community, probably 100+ beta testers
