Is there a way to search my Saved Posts?

How do I search my Bookmarks?

Ah, it does make more sense in context, thanks for explaining!

Cory L. Rahman @corylr.bsky.social · Aug 26

I suppose in the context of “parsing”, “decode” kind of fits “parse” more than “encode” does, assuming the unknown input data is encoded with uncertainty. I can understand that.

This is awesome but the API is breaking my brain. A codec’s input is something you encode. I think of encoding as coming before decoding. It feels wrong to call decode the “input”.

Update: I learned on Reddit that it’s called a “Coiled Dragon Eye”!

I just learned about Two-Headed Dragons senseis.xmp.net?TwoHeadedDra.... According to Sensei's Library, "There does not seem to be a word for this sort of eye (apparently false, but actually real, due to connections in two directions)"

I propose "Dragon Eye"!

Signal-boosting that the game Go (🌐 Baduk, Weiqi, Igo) is good for brain development!

If you’re interested in learning, GoMagic.org is great.

I also highly recommend the new Legend of Baduk app from Korea:

🧠 More Than a Game: How Go Supercharges Your Child's Brainpower

What if there was a game that could actively boost your child's intelligence, improve their problem-solving skills, and give them an academic edge?

Agree. I fear it’s going to end up as another revenue model. Free LLMs make money off referral fees, paid LLMs don’t. It would be easy to set up too, just use some combination of agents & MCPs to see if the user’s problem could be aided by an affiliate, then work it in to the response with a link.

This is so cool! One day I’ll visit Tokyo..

Same but I still use notifications as a list of summaries / action items! I just review them in my notifications center.

Ha this is awesome!

A mentee asked me for a relational database & SQL intro lesson. I made them a quick-start with explanations, pictures, practice questions, next steps, etc! It really helped.

Now I’m sharing it with you! 😊

Send to someone who wants a good quick-start to RDBs & SQL.

Also it can be handy to rerun all cells when needed (if your program isn't too big). Sometimes the state can get messed up, especially if you make changes to an earlier cell that later cells rely on.

The easiest way for me personally is to use them through VS Code. You can create Jupyter Notebooks right from the command palette (CMD/CTRL+Shift+P) then type start typing “create Jupyter…” and you’ll see it as an option.

Needed this! TY!

By the way, if anyone's interested in learning to play the game of Go, I highly recommend Go Magic's free "Go Rules" course that has a few videos with interactive problems in-between. That's how I got started!
gomagic.org/courses/go-r...

The Rules of Go — Interactive Course

In this course you will learn the rules of Go in all of their simplicity and splendor.

I can't recommend the AlphaGo documentary enough. It's not just about AI or the game of Go, it's about the human spirit. It's an incredible piece of film.

You can watch it in full on YouTube!

I need to take a page out of your book, there are a few things I should sit down and make a schedule for too. Sometimes I forget how powerful of a tool just creating a schedule is!

Good visuals / projects make a big difference in showing your stuff! Curious to see your ideas.
