In one of the earlier iterations of this they at least made the UX distinguish Codex vs. ChatGPT which I really enjoyed.

I must admit I spent a little time in ChatGPT this weekend, thinking I was in Codex. After some unexpected behavior (disappointed) I realized my mistake.


Bertrand Russell wrote a text which touches on this exact subject, The Conquest of Happiness [1].

Ignore the hyperbole of the "who should read it". In my opinion, it is his thoughts on happiness from his own life. Some of it is dated, but I found it a relaxing and rational take on the topic.

Yes - presuming the funds can’t earn SOFR+. The opportunity cost is the interest being earned elsewhere (minus interest earned taxes)


Curious what others use to store media for home/remote use.

I naively assumed my purchases from [company A] would mean I have permanent/immutable access. Even in the case of access not being revoked, I've found content itself changes over time. Usually related to jokes which have "not aged well" let us say.

I'm not here to champion leaving in that content. Or defend nostalgic rewatching. It just feels strange to not acknowledge.


> Curious what others use to store media for home/remote use.

A limited selection of CD/DVD/BluRay, a large collection of songs in mp3 & other formats (many ripped from CD myself @ some point, others downloaded), a bunch of movies in h264/h265 etc (mostly via torrents).

Books / documentation / retrogames & more on various devices.

Generally when adding anything, I look for replay value. Play/watch/listen once & never revisit stuff I save to /dev/null.

In common between all the above: storage media under my control, and useable offline.


Our team calls this "full three pepper blend" ;)

I enjoyed the sentiment, thank you for sharing.

Came to post about the site. My first reaction to the layout was "Oh, must be optimized for mobile." Then I clicked a link in one of the articles and it opened alongside it. Very slick. I enjoy this! It enables that "wiki deep dive" style of browsing. I suddenly want to read all your notes.


I actually made a Wikipedia browser directly inspired by Andy's blog: https://steezeburger.com/wikipedia-browser/

I find it a really intuitive way to browse notes and to get a feeling for the relationships between your collected information.


This is great! Thank you :heart:


This is the first time I've encountered this. I want all footnotes to work this way! Otherwise I'm off into a rathole and never return. Love it.


Hot Take: best $5k you've ever spent.

Imagine living your whole life thinking you couldn't do it?

I'm not saying it's fun. Just saying it may be a good thing.


I agree. We skipped CLIs and went all the way to TUIs because TUIs are "easy to make now"? Or maybe because claude/codex?

But in practice you are padding token counts of agents reading streams of TUIs instead of leveraging standard unix pipes that have been around from day 1.

TLDR - your agent wants a CLI anyway.

Disclaimer: still a cool project and thank you to the author for sharing.


The TUI makes more sense to humans who don’t understand the difference between a human and a machine.


I agree. The first paragraph on the page implies the javascript can natively search your machine (vs. via Browser Extensions)
