Finally, aider-chat is available as a conda package, which means it can theoretically be installed globally via pixi global. However, during actual installation, you’ll find that one of its dependencies, tree_sitter_languages, doesn’t have a corresponding aarch64 version, causing the installation to fail. This made me wonder: could I rely on AI to solve this?

Those Bioinfo projects at my new workplace are mostly personalized, so each project inevitably involves reading some new papers. Once again, I’ve been feeling a headache from reading so many english papers. It occurred to me that the last time I created a word cloud was back in 2022. Three years have passed, and it’s time to welcome… well, just an update.

From late 2022 to early 2023, ChatGPT exploded in popularity, and I started using LLMs to assist with script writing. Although it was quite useful, the price was relatively high, and payment was always an issue, so its application was limited to simple coding problems.

From late 2024 to early 2025, DeepSeek became a hit. While its answers often weren’t entirely satisfactory, and the addition of a “thinking mode” made the response time a bit slower, it was really cheap! A year later, DeepSeek remains one of the most affordable models in terms of tokens while still delivering decent output. I paid 50 RMB at the beginning of the last year, and now, almost exactly a year later, I still have 27 RMB left… As a result, I’ve become much bolder in applying LLMs to various other areas.

I’ve been using my current avatar for over ten years. Ever since I started working in bioinformatics, I’ve wanted to add more complexity to it—half with circuit‑board patterns, the other half with DNA patterns, connected by a smooth transition in the middle to symbolize the transformation from biology to information, which fits my professional field. However, I’m not very skilled at photo editing, so I couldn’t achieve the desired effect. This year, the newly released image‑editing models gave me hope to realize my idea.

I just wanted to set up a devcontainer environment to maintain the company website more efficiently, but I never expected to encounter three pitfalls in a single task…

I’ve developed a habit of listening to videos during my bike ride home after work. This week, I came across a video by XPIN about RISC-V. The video presents a viewpoint: RISC-V, as an instruction set architecture, suffers from severe fragmentation in its chip products, which poses significant challenges to the development of its application ecosystem. Therefore, it’s argued that fragmentation must be addressed through unified standards to achieve rapid development. This perspective reminded me of my years of experience using Linux, Android, and the R language, leading me to believe that the video’s argument might not be entirely accurate.

Recently, I attempted to use pixi to compile and run podman on FydeOS. While I made some progress, it ultimately only achieved half success. In this blog post, I’ll share the entire process and the issues encountered.

Last year, I actually used Fydetab Duo to compress videos from my travels. At that time, I found a pre-built library on GitHub, but now I can’t find that repository anymore… So this time, I tried to compile it myself…

When people are speechless, they really do laugh - my direct supervisor has resigned again and again and again. Why so many “agains”? Let me draw a timeline to see how many bosses I’ve “jinxed”.

Compared to two years ago at my previous company, I now use AI much more frequently. If the limitation back then was the convenience of the tools themselves, the current limitation seems to be my own knowledge and technical skills rather than AI.
