I played around with AgentGPT using Reworkd’s cloud hosted instance. I tried a few different goals. The first was travel related. I was pleasantly surprised (unnerved) to see the agent return links for flights to my proposed location from my actual current origin (I guess they used my IP to determine this). One of my first impressions was the likeness to Perplexity, particularly in how the links were displayed. It turns out, Reworkd open sourced code for this exact thing.I tried to get claude-3-opus to solve today’s Connections. It did well enough that I am going to try doing this more consistently.
I grew tried of Nix and decided to setup Homebrew as well. I finally gave in after trying to install llm and not being able to figure out how to install plugins despite the message
If you want to install extra llm plugins, use llm.withPlugins([]) expression. In tracing this error, I also learning nixpkgs can apply patches to libraries in its registry.I like Nix a lot. I still don’t understand a lot about it. I cannot lose an hour to installing a dependencies when that is a solved problem using Homebrew.
Ok fine, I will manage Homebrew with nix.Ideal bookmarking from Swyx on Latent Space with Soumith Chintala.
create synthetic data off of your retrieved documents and then fine tune on that
Today I installed Homebrew. It’s the longest I have ever gone since I learned to code without installing Homebrew on my system. I’ve been able to rely on Nix for so much, but it’s been time consuming to get everything the way I want it, and I don’t want perfect to be the enemy of good.I was using an LLM to assist when playing with Alacritty and tmux configs. The LLM (gpt-4-turbo) gave some amusing advice
Embrace the Limitation
In some cases, the minor visual imperfections may be something to adjust to. Given tmux’s text-based nature and dependency on terminal emulator behavior, some display quirks can be challenging to eliminate entirely.While Karabiner/Goku can be a fun way to try and configure my keyboard as an app launcher, I’ve found skhd to be much more straightforward. I’ll probably keep Karabiner for the caps lock to hyper key mapping only for now.Github Code Search is an indispensable part of my workflow that I don’t think gets mentioned enough. There are so many great projects out there that solve or may help you solve what you are currently working on. I was looking to write a shell script to invoke the caffeinate command on macOS to keep my system awake. The default, this tool runs an blocks forever in the terminal while it does its job.Fell down the system customization rabbit hole. Looking at switching to Allacrity or kitty as a terminal emulator. Getting goku setup as an app and hotkey launcher on top of Karabiner. Playing with yabai as a window manager. Looking at sketchybar as a custom status bar. Trying to manage it all with nix-darwin and home-manager.I started to play around a bit with trying to setup a Temporal worker using Deno, but quickly ran into issues, then learned this isn’t currently possible.I enjoyed reading James’ post on 100 things you can do on your personal website. I like the idea of adding a sparkline and maybe webmentions.
