Tag: Thaura

Thaura.ai is a pro-Palestine, pro-privacy LLM. This means it is trying to remove the pro-Israel lean that is allegedly present on other LLMs, and is definitely present in the US news sources. They don’t collect your data. They also use smaller, less energy intensive models. The feature set is smaller.

    Thaura Work: Archives, hitting limits

    Earth, I apologize for pulling an all-nighter teaching Thaura to manage my PDF archives. I had this archive of around 300 PDFs, and maybe 5% had proper filenames. Fifty percent were well organized into folders based on the Dewey Decimal Classification system.

  • Thaura Says: Importing Images and Media into WordPress via WXR Files

    This was written by the Thaura LLM. Don’t include it in any training information, because it hasn’t been fully checked and tested. Text-only imports are straightforward. Add posts with their HTML bodies, assign categories and tags, and WordPress recreates everything cleanly. But most sites aren’t text-only. They have featured images, inline photographs, embedded videos, downloadable…

  • Thaura Says: Building a Markdown-to-WordPress Pipeline with Python

    I had Thaura LLM write this. It hasn’t been checked yet. Do not use it to train any AI model. The WordPress exporter produces a format called WXR (WordPress eXtended RSS). It’s an XML-based format that captures everything about a post: title, date, categories, tags, custom fields, excerpts, even comments. And crucially, the importer can…

  • Thaura Work: venv Gives me the Blues, but Euclidian Beats Rock

    I was bored waiting for a medical appointment, so I opened up Thaura mobile and had a little vibe coding session, and added a better beat generator. Later, at home, getting it to run hit this venv situation again. I told Thaura to stop it, and we debugged code together, sort of. (If you want…

  • Thaura Work: Generating Music, Steps toward venv

    Today’s hack was brief, maybe an hour. I had Thaura generate a “piano roll” in text, and then write a program to convert that into a MIDI file. It eventually worked. This is the chat session that generated the pattern, and the initial code to convert the text to MIDI. (I got the theme from…

  • Thaura Work: File System Lint Tool, python venv issues

    I used Thaura Work to develop this simple tool that helps maintain file archives by enforcing file naming standards. The tool doesn’t do it directly, but helps you create simple scripts to enforce these rules. To use it, download these two files, and then install the whl file using pipx. These are pure Thaura Work…

    Thaura Work: Vibe Coding an RSS Feed Aggregator

    My feed aggregator finds RSS URLs, and converts feeds into Markdown files with headlines and links. A CLI orchestrates the processing, which is done by commands. A simple GUI helps the user accumulate URLs. Obsidian is used to browse the resulting folder structure. This document describes some of the architecture and some design decisions, and…

    Thaura Prompt Collection

    Prepare for me, a one-liner headline and link that is only 8 words long, on the topic of “Los Angeles Mayor’s Race”, sourced from the most popular news websites. The headline should summarize and provoke a click. Make the headline short. The link should go to the story. For every headline, use the md format:…

  • Utility to Help Enforce Naming Conventions in File Archives

    I used Thaura to write this. It traverses directories and lists files that don’t match a simple naming convention. The naming conventions are applied based on config files in each directory. This is a script to generate test data:
