I love your work, it's always very fascinating. Been reading your posts for years

Currently working as a Senior DevOps Engineer / somewhat of a generalist.

I've been very interested in the LLM space for a long time, and I'm looking to make a move to a position where I work more as a generalist, and work on some cool LLM / agentic projects.

In the LLM space I'm currently working on a general "What's the best chat app you can make if you don't care how much you spend on inference", and I'm hoping to find a company that's doing something vaguely along those lines.

My preference is for small companies (<10 people)

There isn't really any one "text file" though, the kernel looks for the first two bytes to match what "#!" corresponds to in ASCII.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8nblo6BawU is some great watching on how "Plain text isn't that simple"

The <title> on this page baited me for a second

pool.ntp.org dns resolution and any servers that they control, presumably

The ntp pool is actually independently run and funded and has nothing to do with the NTPd implementation nor the NTP Foundation, other than them allowing the pool to use that DNS name.

> Unless, of course, you count the AI algorithms that TikTok uses to drive engagement, which in turn can cause social contagion...

I have noticed that TikTok can detect a depressive episode within ~a day of it starting (for me), as it always starts sending me way more self harm related content

Are you quite certain the depressive episode developed organically and Tiktok reacted to it? Maybe the algorithm started subtly on that path two days before you noticed the episode and you only realize once it starts showing self-harm content?

Hmm, that's quite possible (and concerning to think about)

It had been showing me depressive content for days / weeks beforehand, during the start of the episode, however the sh content only started (Or I only noticed it) a few hours after I had a relapse, so the timing was rather uncanny

https://github.com/mediar-ai/screenpipe is promising, however it has some issues with my setup. I'm personally just dumping all the data with ffmpeg + x11grab, will figure out what I want to do with it later

Windows & macos only though. "linux support coming soon" has been on that website forever.

That's for the fancy GUI. Basic "capture and dump to disk" is supported on Linux with the cli version

The author explicitly notes

> The Swift implementation was indeed written by ChatGPT, and it got it right first time, with just the prompt “Implement leftpad in Swift”. However: Swift is the only language I know where an implementation that does what I wanted it to do is that simple.

uvx / uv tool works great for that.

You can `uv tool install your_package`, add a dir to your PATH, and then you can launch the tool appropriately, with it installed in its own venv
