One thing I've learned to love while vibe coding:

Instruct your agent to stop after 2-3 attempts of fixing an issue to prevent loops and let it execute a cli command like say on macOS like this:

> $ say "ALERT: i am stuck please help"

You can just slack around, do the dishes or read without wasting time, sats and context length.

Even Mossad doesn't test their backups.

No idea. I’ve used it for some client work here and there and I try to keep it as simple as possible but at some point you’re just fighting with a DSL when you actually should use a programming language.

Haven’t followed config management in a while. Was mostly just using terraform + cloud-init and if I had to deal with ansible, it was just fixing up what the client already had.

Looks like I’ll have to dive back into it.

I think I've seen like 5 women joining nostr in the last few days and none of them looked like a dude in a dress.

Never change, nostr. 🌞

Welcome to nostr! Love your horse btw. :)

Ansible really hasn't changed all that much since 2016. It’s still brittle, verbose and ugly at its core.

yes i understood that.

but i think an OLED screen in dark mode would also be effective at cutting blue light, since OLED doesn't have a global backlight - each pixel has its own backlight and in dark mode 90% of pixels are simply turned off.

but if you have to use a global backlight it's nice to have an option to switch from a white to amber one.

anyway i have zero complaints about the OLED screen in my Tab S9 Ultra when using it at night. it is quite perfect for that.

and the other problem is that during the day i don't need my tablet to work in the park - i need it to work in the car - where it is somewhat shaded - but still too bright for my tablet - but may not be bright enough for your daylight computer.

so OLED is perfect at night. yours transflective display perfect in direct sunlight. but the situation in the car is in-between where you really want just a super bright LED display like the one the car has for infotainment system. i compared it side by side with the tablet it was about 4 times brighter. they don't seem to make tablets like that.

when i was driving i wanted to see what was around me in the area using google maps opened on the tablet while still keeping GPS navigation directions on the car screen ... but i was unable to do this because the tablet was too big, too heavy and too dim. best i could do was set up Android Auto on the car's screen and switch from perspective view for navigation to regular map view to check what's around me but that required switching back and forth between two modes ...

well this actually depends on the car. when i rented the new Mercedes E-Class i was able to see regular map view ( from Android Auto ) on the large center console screen and directions in the instrument cluster screen ... but i can't do that in my own car or in the cheaper cars that i have rented. also the Mercedes was the only one with a screen large enough to compare to a tablet - the cheaper cars i rented had a more phone-like screen.

the problem with that mercedes is when cornering you want to lean your knee on the door and the arm rest has a sharp edge that digs into the knee and is quite painful. typical mercedes retarded ergonomics.

so the situation is hopeless, but thanks for trying to help.

OLED in dark mode is quite decent, true. Now PWM either. Good on the eyes.

I bet the DC would work great for your scenario. Just set the brightness to 50% and you'll have perfect illumination in the dark/shades without being blinded by it and great legibility under the sunlight (where the amber backlight basically just wastes energy because you can barely see it).

If you're in the US you can buy it and send it back without costs, I think.

Testing out Cline's free xAI grok-code-fast model for the week. It's incredibly fast. At least 5-10x faster than Kimi K2 which I've been using over the last few weeks for its low price. Impressive. Needs a bit more handholding through complex tasks though, from what I gathered thus far.

cool device. last time i mis-understood your health claims regarding it. you said it helps with circadian rhythms because it doesn't emit blue light but you didn't mention that you were referring to amber backlight for night time use. it seemed you were talking about day-time use in which case the statement about no blue light made no sense since daylight is primarily blue light.

i am going to accept their claim that their amber backlight has less blue light than a regular color LCD screen with blue light dimmed in software, because LED backlighting is primarily blue and LCD panel has finite contrast so it can't block out the blue from the backlight completely, though probably with an OLED screen ( like in my Tab S9 Ultra ) with orange text on black background probably amount of blue light emitted will be negligible - less than what you would get from the moon at night ...

the main benefit of this daylight computer is probably for mental health due to being able to spend more time outside. and also from the extra vitamin D due to being in the sun, especially if you're in a northern climate where you guys don't get enough sun.

but it's not the type of device i want.

i want a regular android tablet but with 5 times the brightness versus what i have in S9 Ultra, which is already the brightest android tablet outside of rugged / industrial ones.

and i actually WANT a rugged / industrial one like Panasonic / Getac / Zebra etc. but those cost 2X versus Samsung and have much lower specs and are only slightly brighter ...

so i will continue suffering with my Samsung for the time being.

PS: thanks for clarifying what daylight computer is.

On thing though: The display ships with 2 different backlights, that are completely different hardware components built into the display and both can be turned on/off as you please. One is LED, one is amber. If you just use the amber one, there's 0% blue light. Don't have to filter out what you don't emit.

They even confirmed that in the lab.

Chemex definitely looks sleeker than v60. Love that glass-wood-combo.

That crema is from my Rancilio Silvia portafilter though. 🙃

It's a v60 day. It was the only method that produced somewhat acceptable results for a new coffee bean I got. It's way too sweet and tastes a bit like bubblegum. Tried multiple approaches with the Aeropress but it always tasted like molten Hubba Bubba, if you know that stuff.

I think I'll donate the remaining beans to someone at the cafe later today. 🫠

Unless anyone is interested in an exchange program where we send each other coffee we don't like ourselves. 🌚

Of course not. Was supposed to be sarcastic.

Yes, it's greyscale, no way around that. Perfect for reading though, not for comics or mangas and the like.

It has two backlights: One is amber and doesn't impact your circadian rhythm/sleepcycles, one is traditional LED backlight. Never used the latter, can't say much about it. But the amber one is very bright without burning out your eyes at night.

Only gripe: If you disable the backlight at night you need an external lightning source to illuminate the display sufficiently to pull own brightness controls to increase it.

trying to use my Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra ( i think that's the model ) in the car in Florida didn't work. too big, not bright enough during the day ( great at night ).

unfortunately there still doesn't seem to be any daylight worthy android tablet. the brightest ones are only about 30% brighter than my Samsung which is not worth upgrading for ( especially considering all other specs would be worse ).

this is pathetic because my ( now dead ) Sony Z9J TV was 3,500 nits and that was designed for use in the dark ... why can't they make an Android tablet with the same 3,500 nits for use in daylight ? why do the brightest tablets top out at 1,200 nits and that's for Windows tablets. Androids only go to 1,000.

because they're all fucking retards. battery life my ass. i have 92% battery life on my S9 Ultra after half a day of use - i don't need more battery life in my tablet - i need daylight visibility. i can't see shit on it while driving in Florida, meanwhile the car's screen is perfectly clear ( and about 4X brighter ).

why can't they just put the same screen they use in the car into the tablet ?

i think nostr:npub1rfw075gc6pc693w5v568xw4mnu7umlzpkfxmqye0cgxm7qw8tauqfck3t8 said he had some kind of daylight computer but it just seems to be e-paper like Kindle. e-paper is black and white and has slow refresh rate.

i just want an Android tablet but with about 4X the brightness of my Samsung and they don't exist.

the best solution i found so far is Android Auto ... but it would be nice to not have to use a single car screen for everything. would be nice to have a tablet that is equally bright.

oh well ...

It's not e-paper/e-ink or any marketing variation of that. The Daylight Computer has a custom 120hz transflective rLCD display that's perfectly legible in the sun without any backlight whatsoever. The more light, the better.

Sufis are the Orthodox Christians among Muslims.

.com domain indicates commercial interests, attention by mainstream media indicates big advertising budgets & connections, pricing is annually, holding company was VC funded and sells itself as a privacy company with just 2 products (one being JDM) and both founders are involved in various web3 shitcoin factories.

Might be legit but I’m not touching that.

I think that'd be Monero. Zcash seems too complicated and privacy is opt-in only.

Similar stuff happened to occult researcher Tracy Twyman back in the day, when she dug into the sex trafficking going on in certain areas around her. Her accounts got hijacked and people seem to have had local access to her devices.
