The very same - he writes about that elsewhere on the site.

How to create a semantic search engine for colors (or anything else) using Supabase and an embedding provider such as OpenAI or Mistral

"You need a Claude account to use this artifact"

This could be a phenomenal growth loop for Anthropic.

The Model Id column alone makes this a useful resource for me, thank you!

Every time I need to enter a model id into code I am amazed at how hard it is to find something so simple and important on the providers' websites.

I had a few tries at Ulysses in my 20s and always abandoned it.

I tried it again aged 38 and I found it flowed much more easily. The protagonist Leopold Bloom, who I remembered as an old man from earlier attempts, was relatable. It turns out Bloom is exactly 38.

I find side notes too disruptive when reading so my crutch for the middle was to skim a short chapter summary before a starting each new chapter. This let me enjoy the dreamlike qualities of the text without needing to catch every reference.

I wonder if that’s a dictation artefact

I have very fond memories of Wave. My non-tech friend group embraced it as our primary communication platform for a brief period and it hosted a frenzied chaotic fun that was only matched over a decade later by the tech exuberance of AI image gen and LLMs.

Nice writeup. I've seen that if I take a post of mine that was successful on another platform and repost it to X it's met with crickets.

My theory is X is now more dominated by in-groups and LinkedIn is broader, more sprawling networks.

You're capturing nicely how the relationship with the farmer is an essential part of the "product" you buy when you buy high-end organic. I think that will continue to be true in culture/info markets.

Interesting...thinking this through: For text and ideas the information size is often small enough to fit in human memory, and thus containing this is already unsolvable! I can ask the LLM to compose the text of a pitch and then film myself writing it out. Nothing you can do will prove the provenance of those bits was not from the AI.

So I think the premium product becomes in-person interaction, where the buyer is present for the genesis of the content (e.g. in dialogue).

Image/video/music might have more scalable forms of organic "product". E.g. a high-trust chain of custody from recording device to screen.

Just like with food: there will be a market value in content that is entirely “organic” (or in some languages “biological”). I.e. written, drawn, composed, edited, and curated by humans.

Just like with food: defining the boundaries of what’s allowed will be a nightmare, it will be impossible to prove content is organic, certifying it will be based entirely on networks of trust, it will be utterly contaminated by the thing it professes to be clean of, and it may even be demonstrably worse while still commanding a higher price point.

Cheap hack I use for transcribing in-person customer sessions:

1. record the audio on your phone audio recorder

2. send the mp3 to yourself in Slack

3. a few minutes later the transcription will appear on Slack

I then feed that to an LLM for summary and actions. Quality has been great for this workflow, all in English.

Great execution. Interesting to think about the peaks and troughs of global activity.

The Sleep numbers make a big claim: Right after Europe and West Africa have woken up (i.e. now) it says only 350 million people (4.25%) are sleeping. It's 01:08 in Anchorage and 06:08 in Recife. Over 1 billion people live in the Americas between these two time zones. Seems implausible that only a third of them are sleeping?

Kudos to the open source contributors but honestly this is the kind of area where the big commercial players need to step up and help with the heavy lifting.

I think the point is that Mao is in a very small club of individuals deemed responsible for tens of millions of deaths. Che is small fry in comparison.

Great name!

Great, messaged. Looking forward to chatting!

Thanks for the anon comments that came in via the feedback form! I'm guessing they came from here.

I've deployed two of the suggestions:

1. don’t show unavailable (now hidden behind a button at end of list)

2. be able to specify which tlds are included

These changes are now live. The other suggestions around advanced options will take a bit more time/consideration.

Awesome I'd love that! Let's chat - I'm yablochko on both bluesky and twitter if you want to dm me on one of those.

If I have an active thread in Gmail and I'm waiting on a response I find it useful to snooze the thread so it reappears in my inbox either with a response or after the snooze time has elapsed.

Source?

Great resource.

Has anyone come across a semantic search to navigate these icon libraries? I want to be able to search for “Industry” and get icons returned that show factory, cogs etc. I’ve been using https://react-icons.github.io/react-icons but the same problem there, you search for a string and it just greps across the official icon name. If you don’t know the name you’re not going to find it.

Congrats on the launch.

I’ve long the thought “the LibriVox app” wasn’t living up to it’s potential and was then disappointed to learn that it’s not an official app at all, just a private company burying free content in ads.

Congrats on shipping and selling!

Countering some recurring feedback here: I find the design decisions you’ve made strike a good balance between simplicity and inviting the player in to find their way round. I’m viewing on mobile.

- I can’t easily parse a top-level clue structure but the lack of colours keeps it neat - Guess history would have been useful but omitting it keeps each guess low stakes for a first time user - The keyboard is fine, don’t let the unicode universe in for an ascii input field

I was raised like this and find it heart warming to see funerals filled with wider community.

I did misjudge it once: I was living in a different country with two fellow Irish people and the relative of a good friend died. In Ireland it would have been expected that we attend the funeral, in this case we showed up and there were only six closest relatives there, and our presence just felt inappropriate. I now know your place at a funeral is about your place in a wider community. That often overlaps with being a connection-of-a-connection, but not always.

Resource intensive on the hoster or on the browser running the script?

Is there a repo we can follow for this?

I find the Gervais Principle very illuminating but would love to hear how you turned it into career growth. Did it motivate you to indulge in Machiavellian scheming and join the ranks of the Sociopaths? Or let you make peace with a fate among the Clueless?
