I think mid-2023 era image gen in chatgpt was pretty great for what it was, perhaps just rose colored glasses but I had more fun with it because the jank level was still high enough. Pictured here is me and my neighbor going snowboarding

Great post on real-world AI tool adoption for software development

Can’t say I expected “Paraguayan senator is such an openly gutter racist she’d make US Republicans wince” to come out of the World Cup, but here we are

Old tweets from pro nfl players are great sometimes

yeah this is actually awesome, fully endorse and support

first time I've ran out of mana on an AI agent plat for non-work stuff

Nailing this to the forehead of every PM and/or middle manager who believes we “need to do discovery” on making a UI not an obvious piece of shit to use

this is so fucking funny my dudes right as the Linkedin Lunatic class posts breathlessly about how the entire world is going to move to chinese models, too! A+ work from the CCP

USMNT loss was very funny given the corruption, even funnier when that third Belgian goal hit, and funniest when you internalize just how many people in this country came tuned in to watch the game and even went to public watch parties www.reddit.com/r/redmond/s/...

damn USA forgot that defense is a thing

Great read surfingcomplexity.blog/2026/02/08/n...

why so many big ole docker images huh

So I decided to try this out, no AGENTS or CLAUDE md files in a repo. I cannot discern any serious difference in output quality from the model. Sonnet 5 just discovers and runs tests anyways.

I am starting to question this one as well. I recently started using Sonnet 5 as the planner, and so far I can’t determine if it’s better or worse than Opus was.

Masterful gambit by Australia

This has to be rage bait right

P = NP believers are perverts

My lukewarm take about Slack is that is genuinely does subtract from workforce “productivity”, but it’s a system that incentivizes people having more fun with each other digitally, and that’s a far greater good for the world

This was a good read on the org dynamics side of things: > It’s now a few months later, and the tokenmaxxing policies had their intended outcome: everyone is using AI to code, at least a little bit. 12gramsofcarbon.com/p/agentics-t...

Okay I used to believe that social media was dangerour for kids or whatever, but Instagram is a legit biohazard for moms

Alright well I watched this prepared to hate it and now I’m gonna try steaming my water. I roast my own beans anyways, so might as well do more dumb stuff that works youtu.be/0HdzJz_evNw

Corallary to this excellent point is you also see this parental rage manifest in football coaches who care about winning over playing town politics. I ended up writing a local paper op-ed over how my coach had the audacity to force everyone to try out for a position and pick the best.

So this might be one of the funnier things I’ve watched recently, the story of the police station that’s also a Jack in the Box is just too much for me youtu.be/g9lnL8PLlm8?...

The complete and utter lack of state capacity on display should be concerning to everyone If we have laws they should be enforced If they are wrong we should be able to change them

Time for my west coast best coast personality to shine through: It really is hard to convey to someone who grew up east of Denver just how normal it is to be a half-day drive to genuinely tall mountains, deserts, and the ocean all at the same time

Still stunlocked that Marc Andreessen and his big brain prompts AI models with “don’t hallucinate”

Well this reads as quite the combo breaker, at least with agents powered by LLMs ~3 months ago, developer-submitted and LLM-created AGENT md files don't seem to improve task performance for python projects, but do burn ~20% more tokens arxiv.org/abs/2602.11988

Well I spent a few days with Opus and I think I realize why it got so popular! Sonnet was always good enough for me because I approach every nontrivial task with a small exercise in breaking it down and deciding how I’ll verify it. I then bake what I can into the prompt.

This seemed like a good read, although it’s not public so we can’t tell for sure if it’s good blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-...

What's the state of the art on coding agent memory these days? I haven't used it much, at least not with Claude. So far the best memory implementation I've seen is just normal ChatGPT. It seems to do retrieval quite well.

My not-so-hot take is that what Mamdani is doing *IS* incrementalism, and the bar is so deeply in hell that a politician just doing *anything* good consistently is a total anomaly for people. And I think for now that is good and fine, because it is restoring people’s faith that better is possible.

I think I deserve punishment for this

The data center is the last remaining Third Place of america. Children dance along the aisles and sing along with the infrasound. Water is used to fill kegs of beer for the elderly to enjoy as they watch the latest batch of NVIDIA chips roll in.
