@VisiData Shift+F is a superfeature. If you know nothing else, you can still run vd and get a lot done. In one keystroke, you get distinct items in a col, sorted by their counts, with their percentage of total, and a histogram. One more keypress (Enter) to filter down to a single element.

@emrcodes Put in your .visidatarc:

Sheet.addCommand('', 'paste-cell-append', 'cursorCol.setValue(cursorRow, f"{cursorDisplay}{memory.clipval}")', 'append clipboard value to cell contents')

I'm in need of some grocery money, so I'm opening one slot for scenes and backgrounds! Characters can of course be incorporated, please send me a DM to talk over specifics :)

[Momo (Commissions ???) @Peach_Cube]

✨🍑My ©ommissions are open!🍑✨
After tons of procrastination, it's finally that time!
Please feel free to send me a DM with any questions, I can't wait to draw some of your characters!

@mmngreco There is vdsql which uses Ibis which can use DuckDB as a backend. It needs to be updated for a later version of Ibis but otherwise should work, and might be just what you want (and then some).

@KevinWoblick Often times people overcomplicate things because they assume it can't be that easy. That's what "it's simple, just do X" means: It's easier than you (probably) think, don't overcomplicate it.

No sé si es ironía, pero para el que no lo sepa hay UIs para terminal que son la leche. Se llaman TUIs (Terminal User Interface) y molan mucho

Aquí algunos ejemplos:

spotify-tui, neomutt (para emails), lazygit (para git, mi preferida), visidata (para análisis de csv y json)

[Saul Pwanson @saulfp]

This whole thread is spot on. Also it seems obvious that prolific use of AI at scale is going to use even more energy than Bitcoin, and isn't global warming still a thing? How about we get a carbon tax before someone puts AI on a cryptocurrency (this IS how you get skynet)

[Dan Luu @danluu]

Why should the AI alignment problem be prioritized when the human alignment problem is still open, with little recent progress?

We already have a paperclip maximization machine.

We call it capitalism. It causes people to maximize individual wealth at the expense of all else.

[Saul Pwanson @saulfp]

@timothylord How about 'human-driven'? This covers scale, power, and also agency.

[Saul Pwanson @saulfp]

@mmbollmann @mjpost +list on the column you want to reduce, then Shift+F on the column to group. Then =func(col_list) to get the reduction. easy peasy :)

[Saul Pwanson @saulfp]

@elly_bangs Have you ever tried https://t.co/7piQMHSz7H? It's simple keyword chronological instead of algorithm-selected. I never see the main twitter feed anymore and my life is better for it.

[Saul Pwanson @saulfp]

@timothylord Ah, that makes total sense! Bicycle is a perfect example. I'm wondering if there is any computational technology besides the abacus and the slide rule that would be human-scale like this?

[Saul Pwanson @saulfp]

@timothylord When thinking about marketing, it's been helpful for me to consider the 100m people born every year who haven't seen any of those previous advertisements. If you're in it for the long haul you have to keep the pipeline full!

[Saul Pwanson @saulfp]

@xn Also, lots of laid-off SWEs flush with cash from the latest boom, and cynical about modern software businesses.

@aborruso @VisiData I had to tweet that to get rid of (someone else's VisiData bot)
