Maybe these longer system prompts are part of the reason why we can give the models shorter AGENTS.md files? A lot of what people commonly write in their *.md instructions may be already covered.
Re:Herdr: One terminal to rule them all on Tuesday July 07, 2026 @10:49PM (#48826906)
Some tasks could take a while, especially with /goal mode. At work we often have multiple agents running on different tasks, and each could spawn subagents that you may or may not want to track. With the herdr skill you can have subagents be managed via tabs or panes, which gives them more visibility and could also explode your terminal :)

GitHub iOS logged me out. Tried logging in twice before realizing the problem is on their side...
Re:How the Heck does Shazam work? on Monday April 27, 2026 @01:28AM (#47918006)
> On the flipside, this "fingerprint" approach is also what makes Shazam work poorly if you just sing into it. You're likely to generate different hashes than the original song, even if you are a very good singer! This is why newer, machine-learning-based systems are built to handle humming and singing, by matching on melody rather than exact frequencies.

So this is why singing/whistling a song to my phone never worked! I've always imagined the tech as some sort of wave pattern matching but the DFT is obviously more efficient for many scenarios. Cool article!

I'm in the same boat and https://github.com/neurosnap/zmx has been working very well for me.

Been trying out [SiYuan](https://github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan) as a local alternative and love it so far. The files are single-line JSONs so not as ideal as Obsidian .md files, but it seems to be trivial to export to various human-friendly formats.
I use the two together with no issues. Micromamba works great for conda dependencies that’s not on PyPi (for many reasons), and everything else I go for uv.
FWIW since cherry’s switch patents expired there has been a ton of great keyboards from China. I got a PMO Wave 75 and loved it.

Mine is same as the green one in this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/1h8011...

Has there been recent developments in the style detection and deanonymization tools you mentioned? I would assume many would not work well given the high usage of LLMs nowadays.
Closest paper I could find is https://doi.org/10.1126/science.abn7850, but it made no mentions to amino acids in the main text or the supplement.
