boriselec··on Ask HN: How do you use Vim in the era of AI?
I run claude cli inside nvim as my main ide. It is 3 pane: nvim-tree/editor/agent terminal + popup terminal, I switch M-1/2/3/4 between those. ~700 lines of lua config. It has editor sync on agent writes, auto format hooks for claude, os alerts, resume claude session, and usual vim telescope/lsp/gitgutter.

Quite satisfied with that, haven't opened vscode/zed in a while. Making something like that is easy with LLMs now.

boriselec··on Fooling around with encrypted reasoning blobs
Why do reasoning blocks even get encrypted? Reasoning can’t contain information that is more ‘sensitive’ than assistant response. It is annoying to be not able to see reasoning tokens.
boriselec··on Go ahead, write the “stupid” code
Also read "stupid" code :)

I didn't know about Deno and streams, but this looks fine

  const file = await Deno.open("huge-quotes.txt");
  const quotes: string[] = [];

  await file.readable
    .pipeThrough(new TextDecoderStream())
    .pipeThrough(new TextLineStream())
    .pipeTo(new WritableStream({
      write(line) {
        quotes.push(line);
      }
    }));
boriselec··on LibreLingo – FOSS Alternative to Duolingo
Good tool, I like it so far.

My biggest progress in English was when I started to read the English internet (HN, Reddit, etc.). I used an browser extension to translate words that I didn't know.

I'm learning Spanish now, but there is no content that interests me. Maybe the Spanish Wikipedia sometimes.

So this extension gives me that language exposure.

boriselec··on Alexandre Grothendieck, The New Universal Church (1971) [pdf]
Reaping and Sowing is an interesting book. About math rivalry, his mathematical journey, and, yes, "Dreamer" which sends us dreams.

I understand his frustration. But calling it a fraud is a little bit too much.

boriselec··on “Should you encrypt or compress first?”
This question was in one of quizzes. Expected answer: compress first.

boriselec··on The White Man in That Photo
> Peter Norman is absent from this statue.

http://www.democracynow.org/blog/2011/10/12/part_2_john_carl...

"...Pete, I have a concern, man. What’s this about you don’t want to have your statue there? What, are you backing away from me? Are you ashamed of us?" And he laughed, and he said, "No, John." He said—you know, the deep thing is, he said, "Man, I didn’t do what you guys did." He said, "But I was there in heart and soul to support what you did. I feel it’s only fair that you guys go on and have your statues built there, and I would like to have a blank spot there and have a commemorative plaque stating that I was in that spot. But anyone that comes thereafter from around the world and going to San Jose State that support the movement, what you guys had in ’68, they could stand in my spot and take the picture."
