Deep sleep 😴

“You are absolutely right. I mixed up <…>” “You caught me red-handed. I completely made up <…>” AI summaries are kind of garbage when you take a closer look at them

My gym (Equinox) rejected my request to pause my membership for a month due a running injury. Although I provided ER discharge papers showing that I needed stitches in my knee, they said the note didn’t specifically say I couldn’t go to the gym 😕

Thanks for ripping off my hard work, Sam and co. Really hope you make the big bucks for all of your “efforts”

It’s been two weeks since I fell while running cut my leg up pretty badly, and the cuts are healing a lot slower than I had hoped. Running is a big outlet for me and I’m feeling pretty discouraged about the limited mobility.

Can we all just start throwing lil water balloons at anyone who uses the word “agentic” in conversation? Yeah? 🥹

I assume this was another LLM flub-up

Do we as a country not produce anything other than AI anymore? Is that the reason that every ad I see is just for some new shitty AI feature that no one ever asked for? I can’t be the only person who hates this idiocy.

Went to Times Square AMC today to catch a matinee and it was pretty weird. Area between concessions and the auditorium had a church group set up, handing out pamphlets. Auditorium door didn't even unlock until 9 min before movie start time. Screen didn't even turn on until 21 min after start time. 🤷🏼‍♂️

We’re on Apple Music now too for anyone who missed it! music.apple.com/us/album/gho...

Using LLMs for ingestion and summary purposes (research) is potentially great, but generative AI represents a huge downgrade for humanity. First it steals from us and then it cheapens the things that set us apart as individuals I don’t understand how so few of my peers or age group see it this way

Took a pretty bad fall on my run today. Broke two teeth and needed a few stitches in my knee afterward 😮‍💨 Feeling like a idiot over here

Hey friends! If you’re looking for something to listen to, here are some new original tracks from Karl and I, recorded in Seattle and NYC over the past few months. open.spotify.com/album/2RyZg0...

We're submitting the new album tonight! Took a lot longer than I had originally thought, but we did add another new track so it was worth it Will share some new tunes here shortly! 😃

So far, the main thing I miss is that Google's NLP was better, but it's lovely to just get websites as search results again. And Apple Music seems at least as nice as Google Music, plus the migration between the two was pretty seamless. (Apple even let me directly import my playlists, etc)

After many years of using and (mostly) liking Google, I’m done. Their AI summaries are just blatant theft from the websites/developers/people they previously claimed to work with, and it’s just gross. Hopefully Ecosia will be better.

Apparently two Amtrak maintenance trains ran into each other and caught fire over night, and now all of the passenger trains scheduled for today are either hours late or cancelled. Monopolies suck.

What a fun day to have an Amtrak trip scheduled 😮‍💨 “lengthy delays, check back later”

The Zoom AI feature of asking a bot to repeat what someone just asked you because you weren’t paying attention is peak silly. We could just…listen to each other.

Another day, another series of GitHub errors 😮‍💨

We just watched Obsession and… ugh, I need a hug 😖

Thanks to @aurorascharff.no for improving the README and getting-started guides for react-error-boundary to better align with React 19! New section on error handling and Transitions available: react-error-boundary-lib.vercel.app/examples/tra...

Migrating 2fa from Authy to something else is a pain in the butt, made worse by sites like NPM that don't allow you to change authenticator apps without contacting support.

I can’t believeI see this sign on real life and not on some parody show. It’s comically sleazy.

No matter how many times a spammer calls you, never answer your phone with “WHAT?!” because it might turn out to be someone else and then you will feel very guilty😬

Any suggestions for a better movie ratings/review site than RT? Lena and I just rented two movies that had ~90% ratings and bailed on both in less than a half an hour

A fantasy series I read in college ended with the universe being divided, and everyone in it getting the choice to keep living in a universe with magic or one without. That series was not very good but anyway, I want that same choice except with AI.

It’s interesting seeing the first wave of companies who thought they could replace designers with AI, suddenly realize design was never about the pixels.

What happened to Slack this week? It’s gotten notably worse. Vibe coding casualty?

Keep getting emails about a position that’s “at the intersection of AI and blockchain” that would be a “great fit” for me and truthfully I have never felt less interested in a project.

Lately I've mostly felt confused, watching people do things that are blatantly against their own best interests, some of them even gleefully. Will there ever be an "I told you so" moment, and would it even matter?

I love my friends and family, and I love the city I live in, but more and more lately I miss the way things used to be. Maybe this is a normal part of getting older, or maybe it's the times we live in. It's not a great feeling though.

The character swap in the 2nd panel of this poster kind of changes the meaning. It becomes a story about a child who chokes and dies while his parents look on sadly 🙃

What even is this AI company’s logo? Was it also generated with AI? Why does it look like a ball of spaghetti? Everything about this is awful.

Will we ever stop wasting energy and water on stupid things like crypto and (most) LLMs? Or will greed just push us all right over the edge

I find it equal parts frustrating and depressing that the open source software I’ve invested so much effort in creating and supporting was used (in at least an attempt) to train our replacements. No good deed goes unpunished, I guess.

This sort of thing is unhinged. Scalpers and squatters are among the worst of us, I think.

Discord UX kind of sucks. It feels like every other time I open it, I have to wait and watch it do nothing but download updates for a minute.

I live in a world of half-unpacked moving boxes now

Guess who signed a one year lease next to a super noisy underground construction project without realizing it until move in day? This guy did 😬

Moving day in NYC is soooo stressful 🥲 Unexpected construction closing the entire block is a fun way to kick off the morning

I find this message kind of annoying, coming from a Terminal app.

Anyone know of a good terminal client for Mac that will allow me to group my tabs into sets of e.g. a few tabs per OSS project. Ideally something that has a VS-code like project sidebar or something.

Seems like someone has been pretending to be me again and applying for engineering jobs using my resume and emails. This is frustrating at best.

Seems like a crazy up-tick in weekly downloads for react-resizable-panels. All of my other packages have been ticking up more or less linearly. I wonder what happened here?

Running in this weather lifts my spirits so much

dev.to/jenlooper/su... - I have some things to say on the topic. This is a call to interdisciplinarity and to bringing our whole selves to our work.

Waking up at 4am because of a combination of work and moving stress is even less fun than it sounds 🙂‍↔️I am exhausted

Me seeing a good old fashioned ad for Red Lobster that’s just showing a plate of seafood and not trying to sell me some brain dead AI product 😍

This week has felt unusually stressful. I hope that most of it is related to my upcoming move and that life returns to more of a balance in a week and a half. I’m exhausted.
