Good at research, terrible at product?

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Garin_Death_Ray if anyone else was wondering.

You need example product pages.

I like you blog and tried to add it to my feed, but it doesn't appear to have an RSS or Atom feed. I know beehiiv supports feeds - any chance you could switch it on?

That's an interesting - and maybe correct - point. Looking at the examples, it seems very long winded and not something I would want to write myself - but maybe I don't need to care about that anymore, as you say!

This looks interesting, and I've been keeping an eye on this for a while - but does anyone have experience from actually using this for real?

I see people are doing scripts or other things to remove shorts from their feeds, but there is a simpler solution. Take your RSS URL of a channel, e.g.:
https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCxSGC9B...
Replace the `channel_id` with `playlist_id` and replace `UC` with `UULF`. This prefix will only list normal videos:
https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?playlist_id=UULFxSG...

No one knows how many vulnerabilities there are in closed source medical record software - because we can't check. There are _probably_ loads though, because that medical software is super terrible in every way that we _can_ check.

Before. I could, probably, now get an LLM to refactor everything to be inside the statechart - but I'm not sure if I actually want that.

I've tried to use state charts for frontend development a couple of times, but bounced off. IIRC, I was using xstate with vue, and I found that they were hard to retrofit to existing systems, and where I tried, I found that the boundary between the part of the system controlled by xstate and the rest of the system problematic. It felt like it would work better with everything "inside" the statechart, but that's a big lift for an existing codebase.

Recent Claude will just look at your code and copy what you've been doing, mostly, in an existing codebase - without being asked. In a new codebase, you can just ask it to "be conscice, keep it simple" or something.

There are a bunch of libraries that will do this - here's one example of a python one: https://github.com/yuce/pyswip - and a ruby one: https://github.com/preston/ruby-prolog

Interesting! There are ~2 starlink satellites re-entering the atmosphere _every day_ now - and this is only set to increase. I wonder if this was caused by starlink debris?

You can still do this, it all still works, technically. You will have a spam/malware/security issues that wouldn't have been an issue back in the day. You will also have discoverability issues - but that hasn't actually changed, if it's just for you or your friends.
