im at my parents place for a couple of days and my cat has rediscovered the joy of scratching herself upon my long uncut toenails

basically my previous position of "these tools can't actually produce useful work" went from "I think this is true" to "this is clearly not true any more"

Getting started with Claude for software development: steveklabnik.com/writing/gett...

is there no better description of omarchy

guitar processors should not cost more than a macbook air wtf

this is depressing but i think i can go back to a pretty barebones vimrc at this point given how much the way i interact with code has changed over the last few months my TS library API design sensibilities have also changed because I no longer optimise for joy of autocomplete

im lucky my boss is cool as heck

i'm having claude go thru my chat history with a friend to extract all our messages on something we want to work on together, and there are some hilarious details lol

trick question, they're all guthrie govan www.youtube.com/watch?v=gESY...

whatt, there's jack thammarat signature enya now? i can't justify getting any more guitars, grrrr www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oM7...

plane seats should not recline

i was going to gift my brother airpods but he had the same idea and gifted them to me so i now need to find something else i can gift him hehe

ok i think i actually fw matcha now? i'd just had really bad luck with the quality of matcha before this?

Out with gf and i got the prettier drink

my cousin and his wife became parents today and their baby might have the most iconic first photo ever taken

ConnorEatsPants is teaching me that I can hate more

whiskey-barrel aged cold brew coffee with tonic water is my new favorite thing in the world

she’s not allowed inside the cafe 🥺

yess

gemini needs a good night's sleep

I think people are erroneously interpreting the headline to mean that the Wikimedia Foundation is embracing AI for purposes like generating encyclopedia content, or are providing AI companies with more training data than they were already scraping.

damn those new panther lake laptops seem great however i also feel extremely tied down to macOS now and don't know if i want to go back to linux for the foreseeable future

hermitcraft in hytale when

I used to love computers back when they could barely do anything. Now that they can do things, all the things they're made to do are boring.

wrote some words about Opus 4.5

holy

Big things happening in my neighbourhood

ugh i'm finally going to have to get a kvm switch now

ok i really need to make it there this time

elite levels of poasting

downgrading my m1 air to sonoma was worth it this is after i've been working for a few days, with all of my usual toolchains setup idek what i had on my system when the usage was constantly >200gigs

should've gotten an apple homepod mini instead of an amazon echo dot grrr

i love this band but it's impossible for me to get alexa to play music by them because it assumes i'm saying "stereo city" ugh youtu.be/k3GZO689IXI

this will fix all my problems without a doubt when im rich i'll have an entire room with pegboards for walls

now that i downgraded to sonoma, my m1 air feels really fast again and i really don't seem to need to reach for my mac studio for work at all really need to pick up side projects to justify owning that mini supercomputer

I hate how overrepresented the USA are on the internet

I've published a post on better prompting for LLMs: "Prompting 101: Show, don't tell" This is inspired by a similar post from an internal prompt engineering training series I wrote for Mercury: www.haskellforall.com/2026/01/prom...

it's also just an impossible task. no one actually knows if a "non-tainted" project uses ai or not! no one except the people who wrote the actual code knows if it was written with ai or not. does using an llm for research but not writing code count? etc etc etc

this PR was created by Claude and got merged into open-slopware, making open-slopware eligible to be on its own list

ordered a starbucks mango dragonfruit refresher bec they gave me 50% off but the mango pieces are too big to fit thru the straw :(

The feeling that I had all the time before LLMs: well, I could build this as a program, but I don't have time to make it good I still have that feeling now with LLMs

nice

Bye tahoe

im way too invested in niche internet drama

i might like evening walks with my gf more than i like my computer. this is shocking

updated to macos 26.2, safari is hopefully usable again

these intel ultra chips seem legit, damn
