jiri··on Claude Cowork and chat are now one Claude
I would like to have alternative to chat - model and provider agnostic (BYOK), but with history, project, maybe memory, with good search and quality tools. I know openwebui and i dont want to host it.
jiri··on Google News is just Forrest Gump's shrimp boat now
I can confirm, I cannot find it either on Google News/Search, with tools.

I wonder how even is possible to index something like that. Is it obvious during index build that something is old? Is only needed to search ceuta 2021 - but it finds recent articles comparing current situation to 2021, not 2021 articles.

Maybe problem is not that it cannot search for those articles from 2021, but that articles from 2021 are gone now, or they are buried so deep it is so hard to index them.

jiri··on GLM 5.2 vs. Opus
opencode zen go?
jiri··on Loupe – A iOS app that raises awareness about what native apps can see
Is something similar already available for Android phones?
jiri··on You Don't Love Systemd Timers Enough
Very informative. I like that. But boy, cron looks to be soo straightforward and easier to use than this.
jiri··on Using AI to write better code more slowly
I think that many AIs nowadays have similar process incorporated in their thinking blocks, you can see there how it discuss implementation details with itself - so such discussion happen even in case human does not participate in the loop.
jiri··on Hindenburg’s Smoking Room
Yeah - I regularly go to Corsica from Italy or France, overnight. It's nice when you have to drive several hours to the port, but if I lived near the port, I would definitely go for day travel — it's much faster and way cheaper.
jiri··on Android now stops you sharing your location in photos
Is it possible to extract exif info client side (in browser, via javascript) and then upload photo standard way and exif metadata via side channel?
jiri··on gstack – Garry Tan's Claude Code Setup
Hmm. Is this claude code specific or can this be installed for pi-agent also? I guess I'll just ask pi ;-)
jiri··on Long Range E-Bike (2021)
In my area, I think that non electric bikes are often more dangerous: they are often non tolerant of others and hesitant to slow down because of speed conservation. Especially in our hilly town. Easy "free" acceleration is plus here.
jiri··on Vietnam bans unskippable ads
I am often frustrated by ads/sponsored content on YouTube that I cannot buy. Youtuber present me nice product targeted for US audience. I am in Europe. No way I can use it or buy it. I would do it sometimes, but I cannot. Still I have to watch such ads.

I dont think there is a practical way to prevent this case.

jiri··on I hate screenshots of text
I am using this tool all the time and I did not know this! Thanks!
jiri··on Be Careful with Obsidian
But files obsidian works with are just bunch of .md files that can be viewed or edited with anything, nano, notepad, visual studio code etc. So does it really matter it is or it is not open source?
jiri··on Why are so many pedestrians killed by cars in the US?
Yeah, but I dont see how your people can get away of ignoring laws of physics, as this is what the parent comment by "Zambyte" mentioned.
jiri··on Python on the Edge: Fast, sandboxed, and powered by WebAssembly
Wouldnt be better to have sandboxing built directly to cpython? Why there is no such thing already "include" in cpython? Or maybe to create some limited sandboxed venv?
jiri··on Claude’s memory architecture is the opposite of ChatGPT’s
I am often surprised how Claude Code make efficient and transparent! use of memory in form of "to do lists" in agent mode. Sometimes miss this in web/desktop app in long conversations.
jiri··on Ubiquiti launches UniFi OS Server for self-hosting
I used to run in on raspberry pi, it worked flawlessly. Its like a hardware container ;-)
jiri··on Ask HN: What is so good about MCP servers?
If you use LLM CLI tools like Claude Code you can let model just call shell commands directly instead of MCP. Or does MCP have some advantage even in the scenario?
jiri··on Knowledge Management in the Age of AI
I am also worried a bit about knowledge nowadays.

With LLM-based AI, should one also store individual chats in personal knowledge system? Yeah, I believe that some my chats are quite full of relevant info, that can be used in the future.

Also what is the right general approach here - should I ask the same question several times (every time I need information) or should I just look up previous answer in my history? To be fair I dont store google results, I just search it again, but with chat the path to right answer is often more complex than spitting few words in google search input box.

jiri··on Knowledge Management in the Age of AI
With Obsidian, you have all your markdown files on your disk, so you can use vi or emacs to view and edit them while someone else put together replacement app ...
jiri··on He has powered his house for 8 years using laptop batteries
Looks like awful lot of work to create such battery packs. I guess next step is to automate general assembly and dissasembly of battery packs via some smart AI robotics.
jiri··on Virginia passes law to enforce maximum vehicle speeds for repeat speeders
Exactly. Otoh even the most patetic and slow cars can speed in urban zone with 30kph limit without problems.
jiri··on Kilo Code: Speedrunning open source coding AI
how is it different from roo code or github copilot?
jiri··on Status as a Service (2019)
long, but very good!

> You can take the monkey out of the status-seeking game, but you can't take the status-seeking out of the monkey.

plenty of such gems

jiri··on AI Demos
Gemini is capable of video - you can point your phone camera and talk about something you show Gemini in real world. My ChatGPT app can do just audio conversation.
jiri··on Everyone knows your location: tracking myself down through in-app ads
What does happen if I turn off location/gps? I guess that location has to be quite imprecise.
jiri··on DOJ will push Google to sell off Chrome
User has to choose search engine once. During every install of Chrome I see forced selection of search engine.
jiri··on Touchscreens are out, and tactile controls are back
Yes - people also would prefer to buy car with fancy big screen to buying car with lot of old school buttons. Because of fashion. After while, when big screen is not that fancy anymore, design can return to be functional again ... using physical controls.
jiri··on Make It Yourself
Without clickable links to actual content it is not very useful to have it printed.
jiri··on Zed: SSH Remoting Is Here
Is somewhere a comparison of Zed to Visual Studio Code?
