Long weekend, chance to explore a basic tool using coding agent. Nice to see, any command you can run in the terminal is a potential tool.

I would pay for the outline of this book.

thanks for the tip. my battery is definitely getting crushed so i might need to mirror that local logging for ios. But yes, the usefulness of it all will be the big question.
I tracked a work log in a "did" list for work and that was useful because you often need regular reporting (standups, perf reviews).
No one needs any location updates on how often I've been to the gym.
theptrk | 1 year ago | on: Ask HN: What are you working on (September 2024)?
Oh nice. I feel like so many things affect my sleep including diet, mood, how long it’s been since I doom scrolled. I wonder if any of that can help you investigate.
theptrk | 1 year ago | on: Ask HN: What are you working on (September 2024)?
The "me database" tracking my gps for physical location, urls visited, etc..
This way I can search through all my physical and computer activity to answer questions like: how many times did I go to the gym last year? or how many leetcode questions did I do this month?

There should be awards for this type of content. Andrew Ng series and Karpathy series as first inductees to the hall of fame.

docker ps is sometimes too wide for me to read.
like antirez (http://antirez.com/news/140) ChatGPT helped me write this script that I wouldn't have written otherwise

You gotta try “fd”

Nice work highlighting that "Life In The Big City" classic from the Ben Avery days
theptrk | 2 years ago | on: Re-implementing LangChain in 100 lines of code
I tried to make a youtube video exploring the code and it was fairly short https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Joby-58DuBE. I think if the prompts were put front and center in the documentation it would be clear up a lot of mystery.

I built a web version of my original plaintext did.txt file. Plaintext is great for computers but I wanted a way to do a "did" ritual on iOS devices.
There is 1 user, me. I feel like all the benefits comes from using it like a journal so I never actually read the dids or built any features to query them well.

Drawing these illustrations are super helpful for info absorption while learning. I drew these while taking the Andrew Ng Coursera ML course. https://theptrk.com/2020/02/12/notes-for-coursera-ml-course-...
theptrk | 6 years ago | on: Machine Learning Flashcards
I think drawing your own flash cards/ illustrations while taking a course like Andrew Ng’s Coursera course is a good way to start.

Hi all, wanted to share illustrated notes I took on the Coursera Machine Learning course from Andrew Ng. This covers weeks 1-5.
theptrk | 6 years ago | on: My productivity app for the past 12 years has been a single .txt file
Heres a vim shortcut for something like this:
`alias did="vim +'normal Go' +'r!date' ~/did.txt"`
theptrk | 6 years ago | on: Show HN: did.txt file is now a curl endpoint
I originally had a simple vim shortcut that would open my did.txt file but switching computers made this less universal so I created a server to accept "dids".
This is v1, any suggestions or feedback are super welcome!
* Heres the original VIM shortcut that is still super useful https://theptrk.com/2018/07/11/did-txt-file/
