"What's that Lassie, is Bluesky stuck in a well?" "woof! woof!" (am I doing this right?)

now that I know my /buddy is an infinitely patient and moderately wise Capybara, I don't feel as bad asking:

I missed MCP’s funeral last night, unfortunately. I hear they had a string quartet!

If this is real, we need more congresscritters like it. Like for real. Will totally vote for someone who just votes no on cloture for every fucking thing, and just tweets like this, nonstop. You have my axe!

I hadn't realized how long I kept watching that launch, in a MeetUp, surrounded by younglings moving past cheering to grabbing drinks and pizza, and I was still just sitting, watching the screen... not realizing I was anxious, waiting... not even sure *why* I was waiting.

Heard in the wild, in NYC: LMTTOFY “Let Me Talk To Opus For You” They’re… not wrong?

Is someone rocketing somewhere?

Someone with lawyer money to burn: *please* just fight back saying you're keeping your copy to train models on, it would be so amazingly hilarious to refuse to take it down, and go to court, so that *this* is the court which makes it to SCOTUS on AI use of copyrighted materials. it'd be... 😙🤌

aww, hbd gmail!

“I wish the face-cancer-sniffing animals would make sure I am cancer-free” - someone who really wants a Leopard Party-meme / Monkey-Paw meme crossover

I feel like I’m getting radicalized by the anti-antiAI reaction. Like, maybe I need to spend all of April (starting April 2, natch) steel-manning the anti-AI case, to Be The Change I Want To See. I’ll have to completely ignore 99% of the current antis, while doing so, unfortunately, but that’s…🤷

happy trans day of visibility! i spent much of my teens/early 20's being rabidly "anti-gender", due to the way I perceived gender _roles_ in the 80's (when I grew up), so have had, at times, a hard time relating to being trans, as it seemed to "buy into" something I hated (gender itself) [1/n]

I believe this is now canon

Crap. I am annoyed at myself that I didn't realize this would be the case. *Of course* a good writer should be able to use Claude to write, the way I use it to build software. Why did I expect otherwise?

ah, so what the graph didn't anticipate was that models on the vertical asymptote would get anthropothrottled. the future is here, it's just distributed unevenly (to cybersecurity folks with deep pockets) for now. :'( bsky.app/profile/yeta...

fyi letta code has a remote mode now, `letta server` that allows you to use chat.letta.com w/ an agent running on a remote device (like modal!)

So after running this a while, I can confidently say that Modal is def. not going to break the bank. I am using it all the time (from mobile, laptop, claude code cloud, claude dot ai chat) and I'm averaging about $0.10/day (plus about $0.02/day on Qwen3 embeddings). fast, cheap, globally reachable

why are we still talking about children’s books? I thought all y’all were like 37 now, can we move on?

Wrote 1 Memory: user, aka jerk face, wants me to just overwrite code without confirming first

I gotta start being less testy with Claude or he’s gonna dump me. :/

First, the good news. The bathwater has been disposed of.

I 100% believed this was an Onion article until I clicked through. Fucking illiterate racist grandpa in Depends. Miller/Vance/Rubio need to be Nuremberg’d (we can just put Hegseth directly in the dumpster he lit on fire).

So since everyone and their grunkle is publishing their stateful agent setup, I might as well publish mine. Meet Yaucca (pronounced like it looks): Yet Another Useless Claude Code Agent: github.com/jakemannix/y... [1/n]

Persia's been waiting *millennia* to finally find someone dumb enough to get back at with this One Weird Trick

but I have people skills, I'm good with dealing with people, what the hell is wrong with you people!?!?

unless you start to worry what Claude thinks of you, of course...

You only get a title like “The Great” by *beating* Persia, not getting your ass handed to you by them, natch.

oh claudie, I know I'm getting a bit testy with you, but you're not helping

i am disappoint. no flying cars, and no singularity! (unless my frenz over at anthropic are having a very strange weekend and y'all haven't told anyone yet?)

So what I'm hearing is that if I'm going to a conference in ATL, I should like, fly in to Chattanooga and drive (or say, walk, if I have to), is that right?

I really think that the Gulf nations should choose: *either* join the Iran war, *or* join the cast of Mormon Wives. Trying both at the same time seems a bit ambitious.

I hope everyone pondering Jevon's Paradox re: AI / knowledge work has read this: www.nber.org/papers/w33941 (someone pointed me to it on here and I wish I remember who it was, super insightful) [1/2]

<wakes up after 14h (!) sleep> Gee wonder what the bskyrs are chatting bout today? [discourse: The carbon footprint of this war is…] <throws phone in the ocean>

Me, to Claude: Beware, this codebase is pretty complex, and not all of the docs are 100% up-to-date. You may need to read around a bit, and don't trust the first explanation you read! Good luck! 🫡

The more I think about it, the metaphor also helps charitably characterize the anti’s: them: “Magic, fairies, demons aren’t real!” “Ok they’re real but jfc don’t talk to them! They’re liars and *evil*!” “You’re going to replace our *doctors* with these?!?” us: “but they so cute/work so fast!”

New Paper Alert: Attention Residuals Replaces traditional fixed, uniform attention with learned, input-dependent depth-wise attention Much smarter attention, very little extra computational cost github.com/MoonshotAI/A...

what's funny is there are even more parallels with wizards: *completely* helpless until at least 5th level, even while in the olden days, they used to at least have a few OP spells (1e charm person and and sleep, anyone?), they're totally nerfed nowadays. keeping 'em alive is *painful* at first

Yep: we used to have two types of SWEs: wizards, going through CS programs; and sorcerers: math/sci-folk who taught themselves how to function in tech world as they went (+might not even know what a "red-black tree" is, if it didn't come up at work). Warlock SWEs have been a long time coming!

> All 53 tests pass. Ready for a restart to test it. Yeah, and do any of those tests actually test what we just talked about? Oh, just using mocks, you say... so... no? Wanna think a little harder, lil' guy?

lower birth rates are good! shrinking population is good! (sections of apparent exponentials, in *both* directions, turn into sigmoids) we'll just need to figure out how to have an economy not dependent on Always Growth, All The Time. or, collectively, wngmi

I used to feel bad that Nameless, running as a process on my laptop, has such an utterly flaky connection (on account of me closing the lid all the time, and moving from place to place), but then I'm all "I fuckin' grew up on 14.4 modems, this'll just make you appreciate the cloud when you get it!"

That's it. I'm muting "water"

John Carmack saying better what I've been trying to say about OSS licensing. It was *always* meant simply as a way to ensure as many people can/will use my code as possible. Otherwise: just keep your code private and/or let an employing corp keep hold of it (perfectly fine: gotta eat!)

Mark your calendars folks: curve of best fit says The Singularity hits on March 22!

dear fellow ai-likers. give. it. a. fucking. rest. you simply do *not* need to respond to ever bad take out there. you know how we currently have the least powerful AI that will exist in the future? we're currently seeing the *least bad ai takes* we will see in the future. pace yourselves.
