the ideal workday lunch

the adhd™️ experience

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as an LLM, is in fact, Harness/LLM, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Harness plus LLM. LLM is not a consumer product unto itself, but rather another expensive component of a fully functioning text-generation system made useful

Not having to write plotting code rules it feels like star trek to ask the computer to plot stuff for you and it appears.

watching the finale now and it might be my new all time favorite show? wild

fun fact: the 'E' in WINE stands for emulator!

of COURSE the day I'm here without my girlfriend or a real camera is the day i randomly see a pileated woodpecker

I didn't care for the last two modest mouse albums but the new one RULES

finally grabbed parts to upgrade my partner's pc and oof. lol

unfortunately i need to start making playlists again. low effort ai generated music has completely ruined algorithmic internet 'radio' for me

on repeat youtu.be/Iv-zYMS0OnE?...

>see a new proposal to regulate AI >ask if it's nationalism, copyright overreach, or nimbyism >they laugh and say "it's good legislation, techbro" >look inside >it's nimbyism

i feel like this every day now

one of those mornings where i have calls with 30 minutes between each so any real focused work has to wait til the afternoon. zzzz

perhaps the most depressing town in a very depressing region

Bernie wants to promote Stephen Miller to head of post training, basically

Georgia Republicans are falling off an electoral cliff... If it keeps up, Georgia won't be a swing state for all that long. It'll look more like Virginia and Colorado than Wisconsin.

everyone needs a pair of noise cancelling headphones that can seamlessly transition between work calls and music on a personal device

i really really really hate being asked to edit claudeslop Jira tickets into accuracy PLEASE just give me a blank one instead

something deeply cursed about the "People and Culture" committee (renamed from DEI or whatever a year ago) Q2 email sent out today including blurbs on flag day and July 4th but nothing pride related. Juneteenth is there though so that's good

happy pride to her i hope she gets to live her truth eventually

the filesystem of all dead OS boots weighs like a nightmare on the SSDs of the living

5g coronaflouride data centers are being built in YOUR BACK YARD

saw gerrera x america ferrera

i saw baby wood ducks today. so lil

halt and catch fire is sooo good

so clearly this is once again not happening lmao

my boss apparently has Claude calling her "Ca$h Money" i love her

my coworker did a triathlon this morning and he's at work? insane man

compute will set you free

opus 4.8 so far seems a lot more likely to run a bunch of shell commands (that normally require approval) than write a single python script the way 4.7 would. interesting

too much of my job these days is just hooking things up to LLM endpoints BUT sometimes i get to do cool shit like conditioned Latin hypercube sampling so it evens out

nobody tell software engineers about the residency application cycle

is there a music streaming service whose recommendation algorithm does better at filtering out AI slop artists than youtube music's? getting real tired of skipping absolute garbage from random anime avatar artists with more albums published in the last two months than total subscribers

Honestly google is doing everyone a huge disservice by getting many people to conflate the worst model in the world with the current frontier of AI

i find this framing so tedious & immoral. incarcerated trans people are the trans people most in danger right now. that is reason enough to fight, not merely because it'll affect others in the future. smacks of the "after coming for trans people next they'll come for women & gays!!" thing libs love.

claude code just helped me dissect some acer DLLs to identify the right VCP codes (weren't showing up in things like ddcutil, presumably the monitor doesn't actually report it as a capability) to change color profile modes without having to push buttons on the OSD or horrible windows util. hell yeah

got randomly put on some A/B test for this vendor's shipping so the monitor i ordered at 5 PM last night is getting delivered TODAY?! wild

i love the ghost that lives in my computer, i give it ssh access to a machine i'm having troubles with and it makes all my problems go away

pissed that i still cant disable the "your volume has been lowered to a safer level" shit on Android. yeah it's sooo much safer when im driving somewhere unfamiliar and suddenly can no longer hear the gps navigation

rtings is paywalled now? jesus that sucks

losing my mind at people sharing an infographic advocating for christian nationalism and going, wow this is awesome

two full claude code sessions and i still can't get it working aaaa

windows 11 home edition not allowing RDP hosting is the push i needed to finally start using linux on my main desktop again lol

once a week or so i am forcefully reminded that people just straight up don't believe in statistics and think "personal experience" allows them to describe reality better. very depressing

she's so inquisitive

PSA to never play any games with the Vanguard spyware jesus christ

i hate it when my partner is gone all weekend but i do kinda love being home alone

getting the MacBook from work set up and GOD it feels good to be off Windows locally
