The camera feature in the @Gemini_Notebook mobile app is so transformative for on-the-go research. I was up in the Sierras working on a new project, and I just took photos of everything, like this museum display. Then I asked for a detailed report of all the info in the image. The text below is what I got back. (I fact-checked it myself and it was 99% accurate -- and some of the text it transcribed is so blurry in the image that it was hard for me to read it.) Next step is to generate documents like this for all the photos I took, and then ask Notebook to highlight all the information that ad… Google Related

The software of the future promises more power and flexibility for more imagination. We started with use-case software, moving to platform software, moving to all-purpose coding agents. Interface design is shifting rightward. A few things to keep in mind for designers: 1. Make the interface malleable. 2. Let preferences reach past the rule book. A descriptive vision beats fifty toggles. 3. Let feedback change the product. 4. Treat the seams as part of the experience. Nobody lives in one tool. And of course, the hardest of all: help people imagine bigger. Imagination is now the scarce resource. coding agents Related

I wrote a new essay about a strange inversion in AI-assisted programming. Old-school programming made sustained attention the scarce resource. You entered a tight loop with the machine, and the difficulty itself kept you engaged. Agentic coding changes that. To reach the same intensity, you keep more work in flight, run more agents, and consume more inference. Flow becomes throughput, then the usage meter appears. There are legitimate economic reasons for limits. But when higher plans are explicitly sold as freedom from interruption, uninterrupted access to your own momentum becomes the produ… kennethreitz.org

I am slowly trying to figure out Nix/NixOS. I just realized something I'm very confused by: Is it really the case “pinning’ in NixOS prototypically means “pinning a single version of the entire package repository, and then pulling in whatever versions it contains”? I mean, "it's all just code" and it seems to be *possible* to mix and match via `fetchTarball`. But is pinning the universe as-a-unit really the normal pattern? Nix Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
