I use gptel[0] with my denote[1] notes, and a tool that can search/retrieve tags/grep/create notes (in a specific sub folder). It's been good enough as a memory for me.

Group rides, coffee outside, bike packing are all amazing ways to make friends. Shared adventures however small make long lasting bonds.

An example of why a basic understanding is helpful:

A common sentiment on HN is that LLMs generate too many comments in code.

For good reason -- comment sparsity improves code quality, due to the way causal transformers and positional encoding work. The model has learned that real, in-distribution code carries meaning in structure, naming, and control flow, not dense commentary. Fewer comments keep next-token prediction closer to the statistical shape of the code it was trained on.

Comments aren’t a free scratchpad. They inject natural-language tokens into the context window, compete for attention, and bias generation toward explanation rather than implementation, increasing drift over longer spans.

The solution to comment spam isn’t post-processing. It’s keeping generation in-distribution. Less commentary forces intent into the code itself, producing outputs that better match how code is written in the wild, and forcing the model into more realistic context avenues.

Fascinating. It sounds awesome!

I’ve had this music in my head for 30+ years. I could never get very far in the game though!

So it's a problem of motivation you say

I find it a surprisingly similar mindset to songwriting, a lot of local maxima searching and spaghetti flinging. Sometime you hit a good groove and explore it.

It might be even more ridiculous to make this something akin to art over engineering.

Hey sometimes the "first letter" in the letter game when it's typed on the tape is in upper case .. kind of a hint :)
