Do you think those videos of tech markets in Tokyo are still online? I would enjoy seeing them.

Codex CLI now supports GPT-5 via ChatGPT Plus/Pro/Team log-in, no API key required, with usage included in your plan.

Those PDFs need to be indexed before their relevant bits can be Retrieved for Augmented Generation. So, usually a database.

Zed.dev’s agent is comparable and includes 50 prompts per month free.

SnaS – software, not a service.

You can tell I’m not AI because I use the british-style parenthetical separator ` – ` (space en-dash space) instead of the American em dash. It’s subtle, but even the smallest acts of rebellion count.

It seems to run fine without JavaScript. A banner appears that seems to lie, “We're sorry but this website doesn't work properly without JavaScript enabled.”

Is there an about page or a repo for this tool? (I see there’s a video, but I’m on mobile.)

Charles Schwab uses this. I was able to extract the TOTP secret during the set up process to use in my preferred auth app.

Readwise recently added a “chat with highlights” feature. You can save tweets as highlights by bookmarking them on X, then search and chat with them on Readwise.

Yes, that looks safer. I didn't realize I could put the `-X` option at the end. The man page says:

Usage: fd [OPTIONS] [pattern] [path]...

So, I presumed the path had to go last.

Yes, via MCP integrations. https://www.anthropic.com/news/model-context-protocol

Is Ory also used for auth in the ChatGPT macOS app? I regularly get login errors there.

fd is probably better for most tasks, but sometimes it seems more cumbersome than find. E.g., to delete all files inside a cache directory, this is the simplest syntax I could find:

fd -t f -X rm {} \; ^ cache

Which makes me really nervous, so usually I fall back to using find:

find cache -type f -delete

Maybe this is foolproof for me only because I’ve been using find for decades. Is there a version of this for fd that inspires more confidence?

Two ongoing projects to solve this:

Qwant and Ecosia, two European search engines, announced on October 24, 2023, a partnership to develop a European search index to lessen their dependence on US tech giants Google and Microsoft. https://insidetelecom.com/qwant-and-ecosia-are-building-an-i...

For the OpenWebSearch.eu initiative, 14 renowned European research and computer centers from 7 countries have joined forces to develop an open European infrastructure for web search https://openwebsearch.eu/

Matt Kiser’s WTFJHT delivers useful daily summaries of all significant actions out of the White House. Here’s yesterday’s edition: https://whatthefuckjusthappenedtoday.com/2025/02/03/day-1476...

Very cool! I’ve added the following as a redirect in Kagi:

Does that include the 20 minutes it takes to smoke a cigarette? So, the net loss could be 40 minutes?

“never leaves your device(s)” aka “vendor lock-in” :)

I just get a blank black page on iOS Safari. What’s suppose to happen?

I would love for this to be a thing, but it’s always going to be super niche. There have been other similar tools, with limited success: Nomad List, Doppler, TripIt’s now-gone social features, Apple’s Find My. So far, the best way has just been to share travel plans in friend chat groups.

I just connected Mozi to my nearly 1000 contacts and it found zero matches, meaning I’m the first one in my network to use it. I suspect to be solo for a very long time.

I get exactly the same list of videos when sorting by Most Views. It seems the algo doesn’t consider interests.

I just discovered this while researching note-taking methodologies. It seems quite new; the only mentions of it on social media are “look at this new thing.”

It's not a product or service (yet?); it's just a collection of instructions and some resources for setting up Apple Notes in a structured way to keep your notes organized.

I don't use Apple Notes, but the concept is simple enough that it can be used with any notes app. I adopted it to use with iA Writer, and there are others in the Obsidian Discord server talking about taking it on.

The ideas aren't new (it uses aspects of Zettelkasten, Evergreen Notes, GTD, Bullet Journal, et al), but the presentation is nice, and completely free.

Cloudflare-enabled websites have had this issue for years.[1] The problem is that website owners are not educated enough to understand that URLs meant for bots should not enable Cloudflare’s bot blocker.

Perhaps a solution would be for Cloudflare to have default page rules that disable bot-blocking features for common RSS feed URLs? Or pop-up a notice with instructions on how to create these page rules to users that appear to have RSS feeds on their website?

I wonder how his HTML file (e.g., the one used to display his screenshots) knows which files exist on disk? Is there a browser JS API that provides Folkesson access? Or does he manually update the HTML every time he takes a screenshot?

The first time I’ve seen an interrobang used in the wild!

The 2024 Stack Overflow Developer Survey asked participants to identify tools they used this year and those they plan to use next year. A tool is deemed “admired” if developers who used it this year intend to continue using it next year.

By dividing the `used %` by the `admired %`, we can calculate an “underrated score.” I've compiled a list using this method, filtering for tools admired by >70%, and used by <10% of developers. I think there may be some hidden gems here!

Mexico City implemented a ban on single-use plastics on January 1, 2021, which has been almost completely ignored except outside of corporate chains such as Walmart, where indeed many people just buy the recyclable bags.
