It's a bit sensationalized and formulaic but it's still kept me in my couch for 3 hours. I like that it didn't feel hifi and polished but looked pretty barbaric. I'm in no hurry to watch the sequel though.

Watched durandhar as my watched kept bugging me to watch together. She is a huge fan of the lead actor. I tend to stay away from hindi movies as I don't understand the language and I'm not really some of the cringe stuff in it. Movies was done surprisingly well.

Seems like I have to open a binder for my new borns documents already. Not a single thing or process is digital. Have to pass around referrals of clinics. I came to Germany almost 10 years ago. I can see how much India has changed in this period and how Germany has barely changed.

I kinda like the podcast style generated from notebooklm. I'm gonna see if I can create episodes for my agent-pattern-ts repo. Would be nice to explore a pattern or concept on the go.

I'll do more walking with a stroller in the coming months and anything audio is quite nice during those walks

Been wondering why do some of the podcasts I hear sound the same and have the same conversational style. After some research realized they are AI generated with notebooklm. Damn you can't tell this at all by listening to them

Started using oxcfmt in my repo and I like that it formats markdown tables. But it's a bit different from how intellij does it so still get squiggly lines

agent-patterns-ts is growing with 30+ demos so far. Even created a skill to scout for new patterns as they emerge.

I remember having a conversation with a friend like a month ago expressing his desire to move to the middle east as he felt its just way safer there and then after see the conflict in the news its safe to say, any place can feel unsafe at any moment without notice

I believe those highly regulated industries that don't adopt AI may be more appealing for the next job switch for some. Sure you need 10 approvals to install an npm package but atleast what you build is from urself.

Back to the gym again with an easier plan of 3x per week and 4 exercises per session. Gonna do it for 8 weeks before I try something harder. It's about bringing back the routine, warm up the muscle and joints while I get back to eating healthier again

Created a very bare bone example of 2 agent patterns. With this you get an idea of the ReAct pattern and the plan & execute pattern. Also some concepts such as tool calling and evals. I hope to add more to this repo as I continue my learning #ollama #local #ai #typescript

GitHub - tobi/qmd: mini cli search engine for your docs, knowledge bases, meeting notes, whatever. Tracking current sota approaches while being all local mini cli search engine for your docs, knowledge bases, meeting notes, whatever. Tracking current sota approaches while being all local - tobi/qmd

I use github.com/tobi/qmd to make them searchable and have a devlog historian agent that knows how to answer questions from past devlog sessions. This might be the first use case where I see this all playing out pretty well

For this, i have some devlog skills that knows to create a devlog directory for every branch. It writes to an append only worklog.md file and any research or explorations are stored as notes in the worklog directory.

Finally I asked claude to explore the commits in the branch and my devlog sessions for past context to write a story like blog post for me to better understand the journey we took so far. Was a nice read without being overly technical

We implemented a multiphase ast parser with both forward and backward scanning for context awareness. For every session and research I maintain a devlog with all our research, findings and problems.

I believe I spend a week of multiple sessions mostly with claude (opus) with occasional feedback from chatgpt on the lezer based autocompletions for my companies SQL language. Took many iterations and explorations to get to a very nice experience.

Building an autocomplete feature for a subset of SQL. Gave the opus 4.6 1m context a try. Took 2-3 hours to ideate, implement and fix a bunch of edge cases. Works quite well and a solid start. Costs 240$. Still don't know a thing about writing parsers or lexers

Keep wanting to buy an ember mug or something similar. Cannot figure out why it would cost over 100 euros. It's pretty clear these things rarely last over a year or 2

I guess we are going to have to figure out how to continuously learn and attain satisfaction in this agentic era.

Got a Claude subscription for my wife as she is new to all ai coding stuff. Was able to clone lady bird browser and get it running in less than 15mins. Had to setup multiple dependencies and took chains and all. At the end wife was like, but I want figure how to fix these issues myself.

Shopping for a small projector to use in my bedroom. Damn these things cost as much as a TV. Was under the impression these were way cheaper

Having nephews over for Xmas and noticed they actually enjoy watching streamers play games than actually playing themselves.
