Some days I should try and remember that the iPad that my 12 year old uses gets these notifications… my kid was somewhat confused here…

Me to every junior graphics developer… don’t stall the GPU

I’m sad that on Linux I wound up with functional AGI before I got a useful debugger (insert MS visual studio C++ for life bumper sticker) but that’s the reality.

I just realized that coding with AI is a lot like playing Warcraft or other RTS games. Give a command watch it play out. Give another, watch it go again, massively changes the flow of software development, but also the level of addiction.

This feels a bit crazy, I guess new vibe contributors might be bad, but everyone I’m working with is having a massive productivity boost from Claude. It’s hard to imagine that few will be coding without AI assistance in a year or two.

Credit to @xkcd.com for the inspiration.

@seamus.bsky.social www.cbsnews.com/news/oetzi-t... I expect to here reports of the zombie bread

Trump is asking the IRS for enough money to give every Jan 6th pardon recipient a million dollars. Just think about it. Everyone should be furious. And then realize they aren’t remotely angry enough.

Happy to work at a company that’s using AI to burn down the backlog and not as an excuse not to hire.

Well at least we know that the Washington Post’s copy machine still works.

This is a great essay on AI and science, I've been writing software professionally for almost 30 years, and AI has freed me from the nitty gritty that I've gotten tired of. But I've got decades of knowing what I want to do and why I want to do it. What the next generation looks like is up in the air

Everyone around me is now yelling about running out of tokens. When did software development turn into being at an arcade with 25 11-year-olds.

That strange sense as a software developer when you just hand a failing chunk of code to an AI and walk away. Is this the moment of my dreams or the moment of my obsolescence?

It’s kind of telling that Linux got AI’s who can write all your code before it got a decent debugger that would let you walk through that code.

Whenever you see a Musk fanboy point out to them that dear Leader doesn’t understand the thermal behavior of a $30 insulated vacuum thermos like a Stanley Cup, and they are going to trust him to send people to another planet.

Reading this story—about how the Pentagon has been given so much extra money it's struggling to spend it all—while thinking about the formerly homeless tenants I've spoken with in recent weeks whose housing vouchers are being discontinued for "lack of funds."

Made a suggestion on how to optimize a 3d scene to a jr engineer, came back 30 min later info and informed me that it ran 30x faster and result was 30x smaller, and that he mostly just fed my suggestion to Claude. Guess experience is now just knowing what to feed the AI.

Really $20 for silksong is simultaneously the most entertainment value for your $20, while simultaneously being the most stress, aggravation and agony you could possibly ever get for $20 bucks. Tickets to the traveling concert of their music is 2.5x the price of the game.

A high-speed car chase involving a federal agent in St. Paul ended with a multi-vehicle crash and injuries to the fleeing driver, who was taken away in an ambulance. bit.ly/4kvJo0M 📸: Leila Navidi

My wife asking chatgpt for help planing a work seminar, sees utter gibberish, i proceed to explain context collapse and that biz speak has been AI level gibberish since way before AI.

When you wonder is this breaking through to the normies, the folks who ignore politics, I think what’s going on in Minneapolis has. Technology Connections, a YouTuber who is mostly known for detailed analysis of 1950’s toasters, talked about solar for 60 minutes and then went nuclear. 1/2

Pam Bondi asking for voter rolls is quite the tell, we’re watching them practice stealing the midterms, terrorize a blue city to suppress vote turn out while collecting data that lets them A pin point harassment and B claim irregularities that let them throw out democratic representatives.

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process. This is one that stands out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Can we start calling it the Injustice department yet?

The letter from Bill and Hillary Clinton to James Comer explaining their refusal to testify in his Epstein investigation is really remarkable, not like any letter of this genre I've seen. It's signed by them, not a lawyer, and the arguments are not legal ones. Reprinted from their X account:

New York City doesn’t like it’s resident want to be dictator.

I basically have the same number of followers on threads and bluesky, but the threads algorithm showed this to lots more people especially after one of the hosts of the newshour said thank you. Guess it kind of explains why I spend more time there.

This week @pbs @newshour announced that they were ending their weekend broadcast due to federal budget cuts. The same week that CBS evening news lost a million viewers, and as I turned into the 6:30 newscasts that were half commercials and fluff, I was reminded that I don't have to watch them.

He should have been removed from office for the Jan 6 pardons. This can only spiral out of control now…

Has Hegseth released the video of the Department of War taking out Santa yet?

Your future and safety is being pointlessly destroyed bit by bit to enrich fossil fuel interests

There’s something striking that we are all trapped with a president who’d make Archie Bunker look like an open minded egalitarian, and he’s dancing on Meathead’s grave.

And yet the melanoma refuses to take out RFK jr, showing how evil cancer really is.

Sitting on my couch after a long day getting nowhere with a unfamiliar API, and of course chatgpt is telling me here it’s not that complicated just do this… should I believe it and go back to my desk?

When I read “oh! the places you’ll go” I didn’t ever imagine that would include an underground robot boxing match, where a pair of people attempt to play rock em sock em robots with 4 foot tall unitree bipeds. Remember the first rule of robot fight club is that we turn off logging.

One issue with LLM’s is that when working on a complex problem with a complex API (unreal camera streaming in this case) they can lead you down the wrong path, they are so “helpful”, when a google search might have found a real chunk of working sample code 1/2

Talking to my kid about space and I mentioned that Voyager was the furthest object from the earth, and looked it up Voyager I is currently 23 light hours and 30 light minutes away, turns out exactly 1 year from now it will be 1 light day away, going 1/2 a light hour a year.

The dems are a big tent, unfortunately that tent includes a bunch of spineless turncoats.

Every week Jews read a section of the Old Testament, this week was the destruction of Sodom, the religious right focuses on the sexual part of the story, but the city was destroyed for being inhospitable to foreigners. If you’re looking for the real sodomities this week, it’s ICE, Trump and the GOP.

At this point the most outrageous thing Marjorie Taylor Greene can do for attention is act normal.

I typed "Demonstration video:" into vscode and it autocompleted with a youtube URL. Out of curiosity I clicked it.. .... "Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up"... yes, I just got rick rolled by AI.

It’s a must watch, his agenda will be hard to pull off, and I’m concerned about the impact of the Jewish community, but excited to have a new compelling communicator on the field.

Wound up chatting tonight with an DC based EPA lawyer visiting for the weekend, lived through Trump 1.0, said administration switches used to be interesting/fun at the EPA and the DOJ since you could understand where the politics ended, but now there was just destruction.

Convinced my 11 year old to read (slog) the Lord of the Rings, woke up to “the Council of Elrond lasts forever. There is endless talking”

Anyone else using Unreal on Linux? editor takes 3 minutes to boot up when it doesn’t crash with a caching issue.

Are we sure this isn’t a rendering test? A tasty rendering test at that..

Despite whatever the new Trump-friendly leadership at CBS News is doing, 60 Minutes had a chilling, revelatory story on a top Dept. of Justice lawyer who says he was fired for refusing to support DOJ attorneys lying to judges in deportation cases. WATCH: https://loom.ly/VjKaJPk

Give me the thin blue line flag but make it extra racist.
