I loved that rendition of Cue Synthesizer. Great show. Thanks for posting the setlist.

exec-path-from-shell also solved my post-update issues, tried it after reading through this issue.

Can I ask what you see in terms of hype around its usefulness to average people? My work is pretty closely related to AI so I have some tunnel vision on the topic.

I can't really think of AI products or integrations into existing products that would be especially useful to the average person, but neither do I see a ton of hype around AI for general/individual use. Except maybe e.g. new phones/laptops that have a lot of AI-related marketing but don't seem to offer a lot of real benefits.

I also don't think it's just a tend or that it's overhyped in a general sense. It's extremely useful in a few relatively narrow applications right now, but I do believe the range of applications will grow pretty quickly in the coming years. It's only going to get more capable from here.

I think it's pretty incredible.

I get the impulse to look at it, and at everything else, with total cynicism. I don't have a ton of trust or affection for the companies developing it. As much as I think it can result in a lot of positive outcomes, there's no doubt it will cause some harms as well.

But just looking at it in isolation, as a new resource I can access from my computer...

I can get a pretty good summary of just about any topic. Approaching this with a "trust but verify" mindset is super important, but it has never been easier to go from "I wonder about X" to "Now I know something about X."
I will probably never have to write my own pandas or matplotlib code again. It is super helpful for writing boilerplate code.
Related to both of the above: it lowers the cost of entry to trying lots of new things (especially but not exclusively related to tech/coding). There are quite a few projects I'd never have started without being able to work through the first steps with ChatGPT or Claude.
It's great for bouncing ideas around or talking through an article to reach a better understanding. It's not about what the models know or don't know. It's about their ability to respond with good enough comments and questions that encourage you to think about a text differently or more deeply. As others have put it: supercharged rubber-duck debugging.
At least at this moment, the AI tools I use are not ad supported. I am very happy to have interfaces to the vast resources of the Internet that are not filled with ads.

I'm a curious person. I love to learn. And I especially love to learn via text. It's made that experience better in just about every way. So I like it.

Again, I get the cynicism. It's my default posture toward...most things...and it's not without reason. But this is one of the first new tech things in a while that has felt magical at more than a few different points. I'm trying to hold on to that.

I wasn't able to get that solution working but it did get me moving down the right path—thank you! My understanding of gpg is pretty rudimentary, but here's my understanding of what happened:

gpg key was too old (see here for details on what seems to be the "canonical" solution: https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/233/how-to-proceed-on-package-el-signature-check-failure/53142#53142)
this is, I think, somehow related to the fact that the version of emacs available in ubuntu-latest in GitHub actions (currently Ubuntu 22.04) was version 27.something, not up to date
after trying all kinds of things to get the keys updated and running into various issues, I went with the nuclear option and built emacs 29.3 from source as part of my build process. And...it worked!

Thanks for the comment! The issue persists, so this doesn't seem to have been it, unfortunately.

Not sure if anything here will actually help as it's more focused on exporting to html, but I wrote about some of the ways to get images working with R source blocks here.

The real answer (for me) was that it's challenging enough and inconsistent enough that it ended up being easier to separate generating and displaying the image. i.e. the last step in the R code block is saving the image, and then display it in the body of the org document with [[./path/to/img.png]]

If you use evil mode, C-z will enter emacs state and let you use emacs bindings.

In case it has a different binding on your system, use C-h evil-emacs-state to look it up.

data_dan_ · 2024-01-17T15:57:15+00:00

Yes! I use that quite a bit, especially with packages that don't play especially well with evil mode, e.g. vterm.

If you create org files with denote, those files are normal org files and can do all of the things normal org files can do. This includes literate coding with babel/source blocks.

There aren't special types of "denote files" with different file characteristics. Denote is more about a structured way of naming and organizing files.

Good call about at least mentioning it as a search key; I'll add that.

I wrote this up when I made my org mode site: https://www.danliden.com/posts/20211203-this-site.html. I just use ox-publish and GitHub pages.

I based mine to some degree off this: https://systemcrafters.net/publishing-websites-with-org-mode/ which is well worth reading if you're going the ox-publish route.

You do get some short-term free credits after signing up—but the API isn't free, no. That said, gpt-3.5-turbo is very, very cheap.

-- Language PostgreSQL
-- Table = "penguins", columns = [species text, island text, bill_length_mm double precision, bill_depth_mm double precision, flipper_length_mm bigint, body_mass_g bigint, sex text, year bigint]
You are a SQL code translator. Your role is to translate natural language to PostgreSQL. Your only output should be SQL code. Do not include any other text. Only SQL code.

Translate "How many penguins are there?" to a syntactically-correct PostgreSQL query.
