Yeah, files as a database is fun, but I find you ultimately reinvent the wheel when sqlite is pretty battle tested, free and easier to get right or scale up.

I can't talk though because I actually find myself doing this a lot

This is actually a really interesting use case for a local model.

The writing might be a bit mediocre but it would capture all the information.

Parent post really stumbled on a great idea here.

It can be very device specific unfortunately. Thinkpad tend to work quote well. I had a Framework that my wife took from me and it's truly fantastic, works out of the box.

The key bindings out of the box with something like Doom emacsx is a big selling point too.

I have not been able to get markdown to walk in Vim, anywhere near as well.

Well, that was a knowledge gap, thank you! I certainly need to review PCA but python makes it a bit too easy.

I too have found this. However, I absolutely love being able to mock up a larger idea in 30 minutes to assess feasibility as a proof of concept before I sink a few hours into it.

I find it helpful to view least as fitting the noise to a Gaussian distribution.

Unless a library developer decides to abort on panic in the `toml`, then i don’t believe you can unwind.

Although, tbf, some libraries are documented better than others.

Also, local llms with an agentic tool can be a lot of fun to quickly prototype things. Quality can be hit or miss.

Hopefully the work trickles down to local models long-term.

How have you found R1? I've been meaning to try it with Aider's Architect mode.

Have you tried the 7b?

I haven't been on here for long, but I must say, I'm really amazed at how friendly this community is! HackerNews really sets itself apart.

I’m not sure what you mean.

Oh you’re absolutely right, what a silly mistake on my end, I put it up on my GitHub here, check it out:

I couldn't agree more about the difficulty of grokking somebody else's tool.

The thing is though it took me a long time to get to the level where I could put something like this together and I wish I could have had some sort of guidance earlier on.

That's why I've tried to make my implementation modular, so others can take the things that they haven't figured out from mine and implement it in there workflow.

I should get around to documenting it so others can take replicate, imitate or fork it.

Recently there was [a thread](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23883270) on Notable and many commented that they were upset that it was no longer open source.

This is something that actually concerned me and so I started using a lot of `bash` scripts to emulate behaviour that I like in Notable, that way I could use Notable without the fear of being locked it but I could try and emulate its behavior in a way that more suited my workflow.

I put the script I use [up on my GitHub](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23883270) and I recently [made a Reddit post](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23883270). I thought maybe you guys could find them helpful or offer feedback?
