Just yesterday it occurred to me that it had been a while since I last saw an SQLite post at the top of HN.

I really like the simplicity and speed of SQLite, I've used in both personal and professional projects. For day-to-day work I still end up in Excel, not because I like it more (I don't), but because its ubiquity makes it the lowest friction way to share & explore datasets with less technical stakeholders and execs.

I noticed that, too. Technically I think this is a version of JS conversion. Interesting that he doesn't specifically mention XOR in the article. He does suggest combining methods though. I suspect this is effective.

How do we limit home prices increasing? I see your point but solving this isn't trivial.

Agree that most leave something to be desired. TC Electronic polytune is great and I also use the pedal to mute my signal. I'm surprised to say this, but my favorite tuner is the one in the L6 Helix.

Awesome to see a project deal with prompt injection. Using a WASM is clever. How does this ensure that tools adhere to capability-based permissions without breaking the sandbox?

I know very little about cybersecurity, but my understand of TOR is that a node host wouldn't be able to offer much about the traffic coming across their server(s). The packages are encrypted and there is no entry or destination info, so he may be able to say how much traffic was coming across, but what else could he possibly know? Info on other nodes?

I like the NotebookLM podcasting feature, have used it a few times to come up to speed. There's one quirk of the dialogue that I find annoying though, the two speakers finish one another's sentences. At first I thought that was a nice touch, but it happens often enough that it became distracting. I should experiment with the prompt to limit how often it happens.

Thanks, I'm one of the lucky 10k today. This is great and I'd never seen it before.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I'm usually skeptical of this type of content, but this seems useful.

I accidentally did something similar, which has been very instructive. I play guitar as a hobby, and aspire to able to play improvisationally. I've struggled with this and at one point had all but given up. I realized the silliness of giving up because I can't do it now, and wondered is it possible for me to do this in 10 years? And if so, what can I practice today to be a better player next month?

This has worked. I'm less than a year into this and I'm already a better player. I'm more disciplined in my practice, I'm enjoying it more-and therefore more motivated to stick with it. When I sit in with a band I feel more prepared and am slowly getting comfortable experimenting.

I still have a lot of work to do, and I'm more eager than ever to do it. I've been wondering what other areas of my life would benefit from this attention.
