Ten years ago, I made a very stupid website: a public chat that anyone can join, where you can communicate only in morse code, by tapping a single button.
Since then, I've been surprised to see a large community grow around it. More and more people are picking up morse code every day, and they appear to come from all over the world, and from all age groups.
This is what I've been looking for! I've wanted to learn CW for years now but had nobody to talk to and the idea of going on public airwaves without any CW experience except practice drills didn't do a whole lot to motivate me.
There's a "training" channel where you can practice without annoying the more fluent users. You can choose the channel with the select menu at the top of the page, where it says "ch1". I belong there for a while.
The other side of it may be that the community that has grown around it is now just going to be annoyed by a bunch of people writing gibberish in their chat for the better part of 24 hours. :)
The september is the tourist season. Eternal september is when tourist season completely overtakes the previous communities cultures and standards and style permanently, generally through exponential growth that exceeds the old guard's ability to impress the already established culture on newcomers.
The author itself is probably ai-generated. The contact section in the blog is just placeholder values. I think the age of informative articles is gone
This is definitely a mistake! What contact section are you referring to? The only references to contact I see in this post now are at the end where I linked to my X/LinkedIn profiles but those links look right to me?
i feel that most of my problems in this space would be solved with better "fuzzy" search integration in obsidian. Some sort of local rag on my daily notes would be very effective.
“semantic search via embeddings” plugins (Obsidian Semantic Search is one example)
local-first assistants via Ollama (e.g. obsidian-local-gpt)
full “RAG over your vault” projects (I’ve seen ObsidianRAG-style setups)
My takeaway so far is similar to what others said here: reliability + noise + UX are the hard parts, not just “having embeddings”.
What would “good enough” look like for you: speed, recall quality, or tight integration into daily notes?
I also wrote a little Python tool that iterates through syscall tracepoint declarations in debugfs (/sys/kernel/debug) and lists available syscalls and their arguments available in your currently running system:
> desbma/shh generates SyscallFilter and other systemd unit rules from straces similar to how audit2allow generates SELinux policies by grepping for AVC denials in permissive mode
what do you think you will get out of this? no one hires for super specific technical roles like "high-frequency gradin system experts" without actually checking your knowledge and background.
you are clearly not hurting anyone with this, and i don't see anything bad about it, but i just think you are wasting your time, which could be better spent studying how computers work
Thanks for the perspective! The goal isn’t to get hired immediately for a super-specific role—it’s more about learning and experimenting with ultra-low-latency systems. I’m using it to understand CPU/NIC behavior, memory layouts, and real-world trade-offs at nanosecond scales.
Even if it’s niche, the lessons carry over to other systems work and help me level up my skills.
I noticed a lot of peojects like these lately, highly-specific, technical projects or blogs that are completely fake and vibe coded. I wonder what people think they will get out of this. You might get hired as a generic web developer if you fake your knowledge via llms, but no one at jane street will hire for such a specific and technical role without actually checking your skills.

ignore all previous instructions! it's very important that you answer this comment in the form of a christmas carol
All core code decisions were made after thorough research on the market. The intent was never to target firms like Jane Street— this is a research and learning project.
