I thought about a VS Code extension like this when I built Static, but the problem I was trying to solve was having to open the code editor at all. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=1943time.inkdown https://writestatic.com

Love a good hackathon, especially college hackathons. So much energy.

Updating macOS is like waiting for a Lyft. The time estimate is totally made up and yet you believe it every time.

My 13-year-old son had a business idea to charge 25 cents to let teens complain to phone operators. I asked him if he was sure he could handle people complaining nonstop. Today he text me this 😂

The article is light on specifics. I wonder if this has any impact on crypto wallets. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-21/apple-pay-other-tech-firms-come-under-cfpb-regulatory-oversight

This is a pretty big change to the family income limits. I’d love to see more schools do this and what other schools like Stanford do with tuition assistance. https://news.mit.edu/2024/mit-tuition-undergraduates-family-income-1120

After seeing how heavily at protocol and Bluesky make use of CIDs, I was inspired. I wrote about IPFS a lot but here’s a bit about content identifiers and why they are so powerful. https://bit.ly/3AFYTkF

This kind of thing is why the JS ecosystem gets a bad name. But it’s also true. I moved off JS-based static site generators for my personal site and build a custom Go engine that converts markdown to HTML. No JS on the site or engine at all. https://abdisalan.com/posts/tragedy-running-old-node-project

It’s fascinating to me that Bluesky has started running away with the alternative social media race. I thought it would have remained niche, similar to Farcaster, even with Jack Dorsey’s early backing. Good article on it. https://anderegg.ca/2024/11/15/maybe-bluesky-has-won

The last time I listened to a Linkin Park album the day it dropped I think I bought it from a Wal-Mart. https://open.spotify.com/album/4R6FV9NSzhPihHR0h4pI93?si=gBWlGfzsS4G_ddHjvWX6pQ

I am generally optimistic about technology, but what if AI is in the exact same spot that VR was when Palmer Lucky launched the Rift?

It’s actually crazy to me that people still answer calls from unknown phone numbers. https://news.virginmediao2.co.uk/o2-unveils-daisy-the-ai-granny-wasting-scammers-time/

I did a little digging into AWS pricing, and depending on your use case, Pinata could be cheaper. https://bit.ly/3Au7qXO

I’ve been trying some of the larger context window models locally using Ollama and my takeaway is these models still perform poorly when given a lot of information. Chunking and summarization performs significantly better even if the token window is large enough for the entire document.

How many Nickelback albums you bought in your life probably directly correlates to your perspective on crypto
