Whisper.cpp command to process audio data. Expected time for 500 hours of audio content is 7-14 days of continuous processing.

I really want to do things locally with AI but 7-14 days of continuous processing is not going to happen...

I can't tell if that thing in the upper corner is a hanging/pull up bar or an air vent. If it's a pull up bar, I take back what I said and consider it perfect!

I'm personally a fan of the Ido Portal method and really enjoy hanging.

Aw man, that's nearly a dream home-gym setup. You got this 💪

Turning 30 is a great milestone to make a lasting change in your life.

If you have a nagging feeling of wanting change, go for it.

Worst case, you'll end up back where you currently are.
Best case, you'll find happiness.

Aha okay, that makes sense. I’m already subbed there 🤓

You've done so many conference talks that a simple search on Youtube doesn't surface your channel. Do you have a link that I can subscribe to?

Creating Anki cards using iOS shortcut Anki is a modern approach to the classic flash cards. Where it excels is in the use of spaced repitition.

I found myself re-reading a technical book, thinking I wish I had retained more information from it during the first read. I decided to build an iOS shortcut that enables me to quickly create Anki cards while reading.

Here's a write up explaining how I did it.

Thanks!! I’m a big fan of your product.

And yea, I 100% prefer maintaining my own platform.

Updating my blog from my mobile device using @obsidian.md is truly a great feeling.

Here I am adding syntax highlighting and pushing the changes to GitHub, triggering a GitHub Action to rebuild and deploy my site.

Scraping business data from Google Maps using AI and AgentQL Writing web scraping scripts by hand typically follows a development pattern like:

I explored @agentql.com a bit more and wrote up a quick use case on how to scrape business data from Google Maps:

With a bit of engineering, I can see patterns appear that allow for much broader queries that are flexible and applicable to a wide array of websites.

I've enjoyed my initial dip into this tool and am excited to see where it goes.

I haven't found a fundamental shift in how the problem is being solved. You can still write the scraping logic by hand and have it be every bit as robust and probably more efficient. But these tools are allowing me to extract data using web scraping much quicker than before.

YouTube video by AI Jason This is how I scrape 99% websites via LLM

This video by AI Jason goes into some new web scraping techniques that are available. It can be long winded at times but it's where I learned of AgentQL.

The screenshot is using their Chrome extension for quick browser prototyping, but moving the query over to code looks like this:

const data = await page.queryData(`{
business[] {
name
website_url
address
rating
review_count
service_type
}
}`)

Attached is a screenshot of me tinkering with some Google Maps data.

It's a wrapper on top of Playwright when using their JS SDK and I think Selenium when writing Python.

Rather than having to write the scraping code by hand:

- Find the xpath/locator for every bit of data I'm interested in
- Make it resilient if the element/data isn't there, etc...

They provide a simple query language allowing me to query and structure the pages.

I'm finding a surprising amount of success with @agentql.com for web scraping.

Wife and I just finished up a ~1300 mile trip through California in our '77 micro keystone. There was a large storm that rolled through the northern half of the state which kept us moving south.

We ended up taking a lot of highway 1, enjoying the scenic way, eventually ending up in Joshua Tree.
