pip install ziglang Someone opened a PR on my Cython project. Closed it because the cloud environment didn't have gcc. That sent me down a rabbit hole: zig as a Python dependency, flag filtering, and compiler flags I never wanted to know about.

This was a fun rabbit hole indeed!

We recently added gcc to molab containers for Cython support, but it turns out that technically ... you could also use Zig! It is available via pypi!

That's an interesting unlock! Feel free to read the nerdsnipe here:

It’s quite common really. All the attendees go in a lone and off duty cops provide the smooth passage by blocking off intersections on the way.

Most often it is just a regular persons funeral.

Why Semantic Layers Matter — and How to Build One with DuckDB - MotherDuck Blog Learn what a semantic layer is, why it matters, and how to build a simple one with DuckDB and Ibis using just YAML and Python | Reading time: 21 min read

Many ask themselves, «Why would I use a semantic layer? How to build one?».

But a better question is: How many times have you implemented the same revenue calculation differently across your company's dashboards, reports, and apps? This is why semantic layers exist.

I do appreciate Zed's autocompletion many times, but it is very intrusive when editing plain text. I need to find out keyboard shortcut that can turn off LLM-assisted autocomplete for the current buffer.

A curious thing is happening with my @zed.dev usage.. I am finding the LLM autocompletion extremely annoying.

This is leading to me opening up folders using Sublime Text instead.

Ozzy Osbourne died today. He was a big part of my college years music.

importantly, zed does not respect the new line i have between the two tags, and smushes them into one line. most annoying.

On save in Sublime vs on save in @zed.dev .. sometime the line breaks inside the endblock end up causing the template to break.

Claude Shared via Claude, an AI assistant from Anthropic

Guy* that uses Claude just for aesthetic reasons. typography and design so much better than "we just slapped on bootstrap" (openai, gemini .. i'm looking at you)

*Not me. I should go back just for this reason.

Reminded after seeing this: claude.ai/share/1217b4...

'@zed.dev is unusable because it screws up @djangoproject.com templates.

Back to SublimeHQ, which surprised me today with a "LICENSE UPGRADE REQUIRED". you got me.

I'll be surprised if this doesn't exist already:

Daily summary of all substack/blog/subscriptions generated locally using a model running on your machine via say ollama etc.

ideally this also should capture the feedback in terms of "i liked "XYZ's post", and use that to float up articles..

She was "one of our own", as in she was our part of Old Mysore as my grandfather often pointed out.

Nobody Knows How To Build With AI Yet The future of software development might just be jazz. Everyone improvising. Nobody following the sheet music.

I think this is a nice summary of vibecoding: "The future of software development might just be jazz. Everyone improvising. Nobody following the sheet music."

A lot of new programmers may not even know that there is such a thing as sheet music

GitHub - simonw/llm-video-frames: LLM fragment plugin to turn a video into images of different frames LLM fragment plugin to turn a video into images of different frames - simonw/llm-video-frames

Something like github.com/simonw/llm-v... by @simonwillison.net is a good start. If this can be enhanced so that the tool captures only frames on "transition", maybe just transition between slides (and not people), we will only left with identifying inserting the slides in the summary at appr locn

this is a good example of "misinformation". passing on the responsibility to faulty translation tools should not be acceptable. good on the KA gov for pushing back strongly on this.

CS departments (in reduced capacity) of non-elite CS programs will continue to exist because couple CS classes will be made mandatory credits for passing a STEM degree, and they will be as popular as machine class and drawing class - which were hosanna* for Mech and Civil depts.
