sometimes the optimal solution is imperfect

I just got this from github

if you often use PDSls consider a donation so i can continue obsessively working on it: github.com/sponsors/not... ko-fi.com/notjuliet

"click here to verify your human" is not a typo, it's instructions for the agent

I was visiting the anthropic offices and they let me hold sonnet 5. unfortunately I dropped it and it stopped working. sorry everyone.

that's beyonceslop, you only like it 'cause you should've put a ring on it

writing my words boring style so as not to be mistaken for llm overexuberance

there should be an uber eats but instead of food it's for delivering yourself from one place to another. like some kind of gig economy taxi service. is anyone working on this?

vibecoded web apps have such boring security bugs. "the whole database was wide open". oh. ok. at least have some class and write some sql-injectable php. maybe a little stack buffer overflow as a treat.

finally, an app for p(doom)scrolling

an easy way to remember the difference between ssh -L and ssh -R is to try both until it works

This transition is now complete. The 'bsky.network' firehose and jetstream instances are all functional. Connected services should have transitioned smoothly, though in some situations may require a restart.

nocode is a nice idea but an empty while loop goes so much faster

The cutover was a little more turbulent than expected (there was a few minutes of downtime) but it looks like we're on the other side of it now

This is today! Preparing to cut over the firehose to a new relay in the next hour or so.

going to the .DS_store, anyone need anything?

I was about to post "in toy story 5 the kid should get an ipad" but then I decided to look up the trailer before posting and that is the actual premise

going to transition the 'bsky.network' relay firehose this coming week! should be smooth, but we'll be doing announcements and keeping an eye on the ecosystem when it happens

"the uk can't just ban vpns" is a very frustrating attitude to see. they can and they will, if they decide to. it's important that they don't decide to.

Beau is Afraid (2023) sure is a movie where things happen

my post did not get 1 million likes. mods???

one of my favourite claude use cases is to point it at two different implementations of the same thing and get it to identity functional differences between them - very useful when debugging things (e.g. a bug that triggers in firefox but not chrome)

How to invent MST from first principles: 1. Start with a content-addressed data store i.e. a k/v store where values are immutable data and keys are hashes of the values. 2. Build a mutable k/v store on top of that. 3. Make it have nice sync properties (CRDT w/ structural {unicity, sharing})

We are excited to announce the CFP for the next tmp.0ut Volume 5! tmpout.sh/blog/vol5-cf...

I tried one of the "magic keyboard" ipad cases at an apple store and they're very nice tbh, haptic trackpad and keyboard that are like, one step down from macbook quality. but they cost as much as a whole laptop...

format preserving encryption is so cool, I wish I had a reason to use it

sometimes I think about building my dream programming language but it's basically just python

my headcanon is that pluribus is a better call saul spinoff

some people are so good at having bad takes that you could invert them all and end up with consistently good takes

I have an irrational fear of numbers that cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers

future generations will never believe that bill gates could jump over a chair because it lowkey looks like a sora video

imagine if there were localised #£TAGS

retried with opus and it worked after a bit of manual debugging - it got tripped up on the part of key derivation where the spec uses "" to denote hash-of-empty-string (which has also tripped me up in the past), and it also mis-transcribed some RFC test vectors

if anyone was wondering whether claude can oneshot a tls1.3 client library the answer is no

well, I'm glad someone tried

I was making a list of my favourite programming essays ("parse don't validate", etc.) and I realised I don't know of any that extol the virtues of immutable data structures. Does anyone know of one? Do I need to write one?

are we sure this is real mathematics

it's taken so long for jxl to get browser support that it doesn't feel new and exciting anymore

I wouldn't let an AI read the files on my computer because it's embarrassing how disorganised they are

if you're not wiring up claude directly to your central nervous system you're gonna get left behind

I wonder if "hallucination" will morph into a generic term for any time a computer does something wrong
