I’ve almost felt bad about not really learning the command line flags for OG grep since I picked up rg first lol

plutojl.org has struck me as a very neat interactive way to program.
Especially given how precarious my relationship with Jupyter Notebooks are.

my main point of contention is that i don't know if AI is nearly as useful as knowing how to use a computer

it’s a common canadian-ism that when you want to hide something “it got lost in a boating accident” - perhaps this is the origin

oh yeah that’s something i don’t get at all- why does the o migrate to the right side of the number?

of course it does require i go and verify each new definition it adds, but it hasn’t been too bad compared to writing all the flashcards by hand

and so far wow it has been effective - it’s hard to imagine another solution that would give me as much utility for the cost of a few cents per api call

i will say that they are pretty decent at some drudgery work - I wanted a vision model to extract definitions from lecture notes and then create flash cards based on them - using the mathml format for displaying them

i find chatgpt generally to have a tone that i just don’t like too much - it’s unfortunate because they’re not usually that reliable in terms of how they solve things

Sorry to be pedantic, but Canada is not a confederation. It's a federation, albeit one that is not strongly centralized. Canada did have a Confederation (note the capital), but that's more of an antiquated usage of the word.

takes about 468 kilobytes for one file before any font subsetting

now we learn how to do font subsetting

this is all because i would prefer not to have a call to google fonts and I also refuse to load too much junk

it just doesn't seem like _that_ much to write

my immediate thought was just “oh, it’s probably a byproduct of being written in a scripting language”, but maybe there’s a lot of IO involved? anyone know if the problem is actually not a simple one?
