Is there actually such a thing as “#+capture”, or did codellama (as I'm playing around with locally run LLMs, via ollama and @xenodium's chatgpt-shell) hallucinate that into existence for me?

First sending me to https://orgmode.org/manual/Capturing-data-from-the-outside-world.html (a 404 destination) and then claiming it could be on https://orgmode.org/manual/Capture-templates.html 🧐

@RoxanneG Curious: the portfolio on https://roxanneg.design/ has one item that sends me to a login page, the “Enterprise UI Design” one. Is that expected?

An overdue follow-up to this

The table-setup is still going strong. A few weeks later I added an org-capture-templates entry to add rows to the table without needing to load the file myself:

Today I figured out an “:after-finalize ..." function that will pull in the Org-Mode file with Python blocks, evaluate them, save what needs saving, and kill buffers (if needed) 😅

Yes, this would work better as a blog post.. that's a different project.

(Not so) fun #HomeAssistant glitch - Somehow, while in the process of migrating a scene controller to HA and setting up a first button-automation, it decided to toggle ALL smartplugs that had been set up with HA, including ones for the fridge, dryer, the multimedia devices, and more.

It took a while before I noticed, as I'm doing this from my home office. Once it "clicked" I immediately removed the controller & started over, re-pairing it.

Thankfully it works now, but that was quite weird.

Did the same this afternoon.

Saw quite a few with a Lemon8 link in their profile, one or two with a Red-note link, and the usual Instagram, YouTube, linktr.ee, and beacons.ai, etc, Don’t know what I’m going to do with that yet, especially since I’m trying to get rid of Instagram, for instance.

Also a trip down memory lane, when I came across several that I followed during the early COVID years and have since gone silent.

Trying out #Pixelfed, initially adding it as yet another account in #Ivory, which works for basic posting but I’ve already noticed a few places where it’s not a perfect fit.

What are the recommended apps for iOS, or even macOS, for this platform, if any?

:boost: appreciated

I continue to make my way through AoC 2019, in Rust.

This was a trip down memory lane. I probably first played a variation on this game ~40y ago after I purchased a ZX Spectrum+ (the one without the rubber keys).

Implementing an optimal “follow the ball" strategy wasn’t too difficult. Like many others I can probably play this game in my sleep, I spent more time on tweaking the visualization.😉

“expected named lifetime parameter”?!

Oy. Sounds like I need to backtrack and properly read a few Rust primers and not just try to wing my way through writing this code. 😂

And before someone asks, I've looked at these pages:

https://doc.rust-lang.org/rust-by-example/scope/lifetime.html

But most likely I need some additional grounding, before that really makes any sense.

That's what I get for trying to write Perl/Python type data structures in Rust. 😏

My first endeavor, using an earlier AoC to give me something beyond “Hello world” to try.

For Christmas I was gifted my own rubber duck. You know, for debugging. 😁

After he helped me for a few hours learn about Rust and was quite helpful in that, I decided he needed a name. So... may I introduce to you all my new friend and helper:

Dr. Donald “Rubber Duck" Mallard

So far he's gotten me through learning (or coming to terms with) Rust syntax, ownership, using a crate (getopts), and several std::* libraries (fs, env, process, time).

What will be next?

For completeness I created a programmatic approach that includes some of the code I wrote to get me the answer, plus some more to cast a wide enough net and find gates to swap, without running out of time before the end of the universe.

• Find the gates each zXY requires, incrementally

• Use a test pattern to find clusters of zXY that are b0rked

• Cast a slightly wider net among the relevant gates

It’s my first time getting to Day 25 with all 48 stars, so I wasn't sure what to expect after Part 1.

I resisted trying to get clever or optimize it in any way and I guess I'm glad because it really wasn't worth it when it runs the actual input in 0.01s:

$ ./program.py -p1 -finput

[Duration 0.01s] Part 1, filename 'input', answer

Still a bit of reading comprehension needed, but no major hiccups.

That wasn't too bad for a final puzzle. 🔑

I'm going through and checking/reducing the contents of some old boxes (that probably shouldn't have moved with us when we moved across the US, but…) and came across these.

Copyrights on them are 2009 & 2010, which was pretty early on in the Netflix streaming days (around the time they launched original content).

We never actually used these, though. Did you?

I just completed "Crossed Wires" - Day 24 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode https://adventofcode.com/2024/day/24

Part 1 was, relatively, straightforward evaluation.

Part 2... Oy. 80% done with code to find the "bad" sections of the gates, and 20% with visualizing the graph and manually extending the net that I was casting in finding potential solutions.

I would suggest simply recreating the circuit instead of trying to fix it? 😏

P1 was likely suboptimal, nested for loops that go over each node, loop over their connected nodes, and then over their connected nodes. If that is back to the original node, we have a trio. Extra steps to make sure these are unique sets, etc.

P2 starts with a cluster of 1 node, looks for a node that connects to all entries in the cluster, add it, repeat, etc.

Should probably rewrite w/ Python modules

Part 1 was mostly a matter of getting the pseudo random generator right.

For Part 2 I tracked every 4 number sequence and the corresponding value, the first time that sequence was seen for the buyer, and see which sequence had the highest combined value. A bunch of the intermediate values could be optimized away, but helped to keep my head straight and since it only took a few seconds to run... 🤷🏻‍♂️
