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:

Itβs 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 β 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, Β«Why would I use a semantic layer? How to build one?Β».
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.

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.

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

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..

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.
