Plus, the new Adrianne Lenker live recording is terrific.

There's something really special about recorded live performances! Thanks for this! ❣️ It got me wondering what are my favorite lives — and I don't know — but lately I've had Alice Phoebe Lou's Live at the Funkhaus 2019 on repeat (and I just found out there's video!)

I'd suggest having a look at KoReader! Granted, I have an older Kobo model, but it provided some very needed features (like night-mode, and better highlight export) that may have already been solved on the color models.

I thought people only talked to adjacent passengers on planes in Rachel Cusk's books.

Sometimes I'll lose sight of him and worry a bit, but I'd rather not call him out in case it's only a nap.

Hereby I present hiding spot #1.

sometimes it's just so nice to close them all but of course one must preliminarily save all this content

...you wouldn't believe, but it had been on my mind to ask you for books on art/sketching/drawing you would recommend.

I have started to sketch for fun, and DRSB has been a good resource to learn some basics — and it has some great sidenotes, too! And Alla Prima seems interesting too.

Giving this a try. I can also recommend one of Bill Orcutt's troll-y releases: fakeestates.bandcamp.com/album/slow-t...

It's a bit more lively.

I am lucky to have access to unlimited 3.5 via Github Copilot — and for 10$, one can get 3.7, too.

I don't have strong evals for 3.7 other than feeling it has a much bigger context window + being more agentic w/ Cursor.

Maybe in 3/4 we'll be comfortably running these locally.

What I'm most interested in now is optimizing the mental modeling and mapping of the project while sitting in the backseat while Claude takes over.

The solution seems to be designing strict sets of rules and expectations for AI cooperation.

Cursor is not my ideal interface (maybe because it is VSCode-based) and Neovim's Avante still felt a bit awkward (granted, that was a few months ago).

I found a sweet-spot in Zed. It doesn't have any automatic code editing, which I suppose fits my workflow: I get to be more involved in the editing.

The moment we can run something on par with Claude 3.5 locally, this will be very transformative (this is arguably already achievable with a really powerful rig or the latest gen of Macbooks, with plenty of memory).

@simonwillison.net is our canary for this sort of thing.

It is indeed sad. I wanted to send an international letter from Denmark and the PostNord clerk suggested I go to Germany instead to post it. It was really expensive.

Letters may be old-fashioned — but it's good to have the option. Postal service is a big deal.

Claude is *very* expensive. I think I notice a difference between 3.5 and 3.7 (the latter being able to handle much more context), and it is my favorite LLM to code with, but the price is really prohibitive.

Haven't yet tried Claude Code. Aider is nice, too...Cursor is sometimes a bit slow.

Yuck! Wow. It has been a while. The early 2010's had some good records — suddenly I hear Real Estate, The Drums, Best Coast...oof!
