so - after creating KIC workbook study chapters, I decided I needed a source for news, similar to the awesome NHK News easy but targeted at my vocab level. Took a little work to get things worked out - but now I have a workflow to generate daily news articles : blog.cielago.xyz/kanji/news/

I’ve been generating study workbooks for my Kanji study, based off the Kanji In Context (KIC) textbook series. Its a combination of leveraging an llm to synthesize the reading articles, and deterministic scripts ( in Nushell ) to gen the output markdown for Zola to render. blog.cielago.xyz/kanji/

Poland is often seen as Europe's coal stronghold. In 2000, coal generated 94% of its electricity. But something remarkable is happening: Coal's share has fallen to 50%. Wind+solar, non-existent 15yrs ago, now generate 1/4 of electricity. More in my newsletter. Sign up here: janrosenow.substack.com

It is somewhat comforting that now, whenever I see a post about “here’s the thing that keeps me up at night” I know that there is absolutely no chance that this is being written by a human who is staying up all night.

I've been using an LLM to generate Kanji study workbooks for my Kanji in Context study. Of course I got carried away and ended building a .md -> pdf pipeline using pandoc.org and github.com/typst/typst 😀. Probably overkill - but the output is looking really good.

TERM wizardzines.com/comics/term/ (from The Secret Rules of the Terminal, out now! wizardzines.com/zines/terminal)

different terminal emulators use different escape codes

terminal emulator 1: if you print out ESC[2J I’ll clear the screen!

terminal emulator 2: for me it’s ESC[HESC[J!
your system has a database called “terminfo” with escape codes in it

how if plays out when you press Ctrl+L to clear the screen:

program, with a little heart over it, thinking:
ah, she wants fo clear the screen! I’ll look up how to do that in the terminfo database…

(on my machine, the database is in /usr/share/terminfo)

program: ESC[HESC[J

terminal emulator, thinking: ok, clearing the screen!
how programs know what terminal you’re using: TERM

your terminal emulator sets the TERM environment variable when it starts

fun fact: terminal emulators often say they’re “xterm-256color” even if they’re not
this can break when SSHing into an old system with a new terminal emulator

(in a VERY annoying way)

happy little stick fiture: I am using ghostty

program, with a little heart over it: NOPE never heard of it
some ways to fix TERM

    install the terminfo file for your terminal emulator on the system
    use a different terminal emulator
    just set TERM=xterm-256color, it’ll often sort of work
