I have recently started using @cotypist on my Mac and it is a total game changer. It does TAB-based autocomplete (vibe-coding style) in any application and runs locally on my M4 chip. It's fully context-aware and saves me about 300-500 words per day.

And a big thank you to the public MLB Stats API for providing all this amazing data!

[Alexander Falk @afalk]

Built another little web app today. I always wanted to see ⚾️ baseball scores for the current @MLB games displayed using classic baseball scorecard notation. So this app lets you toggle between text mode and classic scorecard mode for the outcome of the current at-bat. Responsive design, so it looks good on your phone and laptop. And it's a Progressive Web App (PWA), so you add it to your phone’s home screen.

I've updated my Moon & Tides app today with additional information on the apsides of the moon (next perigee and apogee), which factor into the strength of the tides and the relative size of how the moon appears in the sky. Also added information on the next supermoon (full moon at perigee).

@steipete as per your request, I created a new smaller and more focused PR #897 for adding an AWS Bedrock provider to CodexBar that takes into account your comments on the earlier (now closed) PR #652:

Utility-scale quantum isn’t just a qubit problem. At scale, the bottleneck is the system: measurements + control under extreme bandwidth & power constraints. Check out my latest article: Scalable Quantum Architecture: Trade‑offs on the Path to Utility Scale https://t.co/nEC99MwJs7

The paper is mathematically rigorous but commits the same error that's been made in every generation since Ricardo in 1821. It builds a model with a fixed set of tasks, no new industry creation, no price effects, and firm owners who don't spend their profits, then concludes that automation is collectively self-destructive. The Pigouvian tax recommendation follows inevitably from assumptions that assume away the most powerful forces in economic history.

There are six clear historical parallels going back 200 years — Ricardo (1821), Keynes (1930), the Triple Revolution memorandum to LBJ (1964), Leontief (1982), Rifkin's "End of Work" (1995), and Frey & Osborne's "47% of jobs at risk" (2013). Every one was rigorous about the displacement (the seen) and blind to the creation of entire new industries and job categories (the unseen). Every one was wrong.
