I founded my company in Japan 3 years ago and sold it. I'm seeking for a new opportunities. (When it comes to an exciting challenge, I'd love to hear)

This is what I need. Waiting for plan in Japan.

Japan would be amazing! Maybe we'll be there on your next trip

I do not know it's proper to say, but congrats!!

It would be nice to have an edge transition table, but implementing it sounds pretty tough.

I think it’s precisely because of the free sharing that we’ve been able to build such a huge market. The fact that so many engineers enjoy relatively higher salaries and strong demand compared to other professions is thanks to open-source contributions and knowledge sharing being offered for free.

I think modern websites tend to be especially overloaded with cards. Maybe tools like Claude Code just really love cards. That said, I don’t believe card-free design is always better either. For example, subscription pricing pages often use cards effectively — they make the options much clearer.

yup, that's a good part of the page to stand out, when I've seen all the landing page can show and now it nudges me to try the app out

Really interesting work! I have two questions:

1.LLM-Ex

> We call this LLM-Ex.

Could you share more about the internal structure of LLM-Ex? Is it something like a fixed XML-style representation, or more of a free-form structure?

2.realized you don't need huge models to get reliable results

You wrote that > by applying these two principles religiously, we realized you don’t need huge models to get reliable results.

Intuitively, it feels like these principles alone wouldn’t completely remove the need for larger models. Could you explain how you arrived at this conclusion, and what kind of validation or experience led you there?

The fact that Vim has been debated for decades is proof that it’s one of the greatest pieces of software.

For me, it is close to perfect.

I listen to them every day.

By the way, Ikebukuro’s melody isn’t this one anymore. Bic Camera, an electronics retailer, acquired Seibu, and now their song is played instead. https://youtu.be/9Emi-ZAnnlc?si=G8iazo945capvT5T&t=221

It’s fun, isn’t it?

Thia give me PTSD flashback. My first job out of high school was bic camera. Those melodies are fun at station because they only play it when train is coming, but full blasting it 24/7 (including rest room) makes your brain go numb.

I go in to a trance state of corporate drone mode with a 営業スマイル(sales smile) and bendy-hip when I hear that tune

I can imagine. I have the Yodobashi Camera jingle permenantly seared into my brain, and I am only a customer!

When I worked at a gym, they played the same 10 or so songs all day every day. My heartrate rises when I hear them.

In my mind, Yamada Denki is the absolute worst. I bought a washing machine there in 2004 and, almost entirely due to the song, have been back maybe once since then. I remember at the time telling my wife I couldn't imagine what working there would do to a person.

Seibu had nothing to do with it. BicCamera started in Ikebukuro and was influential in building up the area. The jingle change is a campaign as BicCamera is doing a cooperation with the ward to build it out more. See [1]

Ah, my mistake — Bic Camera didn’t acquire Seibu’s site. Seibu Ikebukuro was actually sold to Fortress, and then the property was transferred to Yodobashi Holdings, which is now planning the redevelopment. Bic Camera started in Ikebukuro, so it’s influential locally, but it wasn’t part of the acquisition.

I actually tried it out and it feels pretty good. Especially with SvelteKit, where the library ecosystem is still somewhat limited, a library like this is really exciting. I particularly love that it works at runtime, since implementing that myself would be a hassle—so I really appreciate it.

thanks!
