Twitter hides lists from top menu. Only shows “for you” and “following” I use lists as a way of categorising what I read. Now more friction means I will use it less and less.

Fascinating interview about the Making of Community Notes on Twitter. The academic studies, pilot, data analysis, and of course algorithm that powers it.

Most people chase big, audacious goals. They look awesome on paper—buying a fancy car, traveling the world, starting a company. I tried them all. And I failed. Miserably. Then I learned a simple truth: Small goals can lead to a big life. 🧵

> querying LLMs has made me better and explaining things to people Found this on Hacker News. This is true with me too. You have to describe context - what you are doing, what you want, what you don't want. All of that makes me better at explaining

Morality can’t be codified. And that’s a good thing.

Is there a way to sort notes in @obsdmd based on frontmatter data? I want to short notes across different folders based on “publish_date” Possible?

4 yrs back, we started a daily meditation on our church. Each member will share their thoughts on a NT chapter for 3 min. This year, we included teens. Share your thoughts on a verse. Today, my elder son talks abt a verse that's closer to our family:

Is there still need for templates & checklists when you can ask ChatGPT to generate these?

🚨 Is it time for businesses to create an AI division? 🚨 Seth Godin: “When a new technology arrives, it’s almost always at a disadvantage. If we wait until the new thing is better… we’re taking a big risk.” Time to think of AI business unit is now. Why? 👇

I have way too much fun running local LLM via Open WebUI: I now use it for everything: asking questions abt books I read, concepts, journalistic edits of articles I write….

This article by @SigalSamuel is so good. I highlighted so much out of this article. I published my perspectives on my commonplace notes: Morality can't be codified.

One mistake all IT services teams do: They listen to business requirements and then somehow forget what biz wants to achieve and start pushing technical requirements. Client: decrease website loading time What tech teams hear: add cache No

I look at my portfolio and am disappointed. But keep investing. I am not trying to time the market. Because I'm not a trader or make money out of market (ex: adviser, influencer ...). I make money (with job). Invest it. And wait it out.

Sticking to one topic / interest for long is a tough thing for me Even within tech, I can’t stick to one stack. I like to experiment with different languages, frameworks etc. It helps me immensely to be a CTO but not to run as biz.

Testing out @tryOctarine First impression: Wow. It looks so polished.

We accuse AI models about hallucinating. What about news media? He passed away because of fasting?

My plan for today. What's yours?

Week Notes: • Fantastic week • Published a post daily • As part of homeschooling, boys wrote an essay on "The role of sw in taking man to the moon" • Using Open WebUI daily. It is super useful • GenAI is both unreliable & powerful same time

As part of homeschooling, today my boys had a essay writing challenge. They aced it. They had to research, validate facts, write an essay, post it on their blog, and critique the sibling's essay, and post on their social media.

I have minimal cover for family of 4. We have not claimed anything for the last 15 years or so. I do something like @RajeevMatta says: Take the insurance and put into a separate MF (for me Parag); Have emergency fund; Take care of your health. Deal with life as it comes.

My son (15yrs) is learning Javascript via Coursera. Here is his video about Javascript variables: He has come to enjoy learning JS.

I am starting to redesign my blog using Windsurf IDE. I have given a instruction that it should strictly use tachyons classes. It generates a html block. I ask if a certain class is tachyons. It says no. Turns out it is a tachyons class.

I've been using Windsurf IDE for all my coding in December. Plan to use it more in the coming days.

Teaching my boys how to *research* has been a fun experiment this week. 🚀 As part of our homeschooling, they’re working on an assignment: **“The Role of Software in Taking Man to the Moon.”** Here’s what we’re doing and how it’s going. 🧵

I am trying to understand Meta's move to community notes. Isn't it good if they follow Twitter's community notes model: Any one can add community notes against any post. That is what I understand. Isn't that better than a centralized fact-checking group?

My posting history as a Github style graph: Been posting since 2005. 20 years of blogging here

Coders are spoiled by frameworks. Today asked someone to write a code to fetch a json API and handle errors in nodejs. They couldn’t use native nodejs; had to use expressjs. They didn’t know how to do using native 😳😱

I don't know why @ndtv would put EC photo for Trump's warning to Hamas. May be EC is issuing a threat to Indians?

Came across a #htmx like framework. Anyone used it?

GenAI models give us boost in productivity and ability to complete many tasks quickly. They open worlds not opened to us before. I am also afraid this possibility will open us into FOMO.

I have used #htmx before. Love it. But htmx = 14k alpine = 15k preact = 3k Purely from a size perspective shouldn't we just use preact? What am I missing?
