I'm going to be in Portland this week Wednesday-Friday for 👨‍💻 @codetv.dev with @cmgriffing.bsky.social Who can help me out with some awesome recs? I'm looking for: - great food - great coffee - some scenic running routes in the 5-15km range - other recs so I have an excuse to stay for the weekend

I think it’s always reasonable to be worried the other team’s candidate will win. Sometimes it happens. I mean shit we ended up with Trump twice! Given that, I’d prefer they run someone who I think is a competent candidate. Opinions differ on who is competent, but it’s better to care than not IMO

This may come as a surprise, but FDA testing doesn’t require any understanding of how a drug works. The FDA tests that the drug has the claimed benefit(s) and does not have common and dangerous or severe side effects. So this thought experiment is how modern drug discovery already works.

Isometric charts in @techniq.dev's Svelte LayerChart are beautiful!

Great to see so many new TLDs are on the horizon!

Crazy pivot from making a bunch of hubbub about math progress -> backlash about doing it better -> unceremoniously dumping this. If they really did each of these in just 3 hours… wow we are not ready for next gen models.

An old friend reached out today. He stumbled across one of my conference talks and wants to add it to the curriculum for a course he teaches. He recently started teaching at Yale, which made this even cooler 😎

I’m excited about this because if it’s easy to host it means we might have a nice path to atmosphere apps onboarding users without needing to route them through Bsky for PDS hosting. Every app having an easy path to onboarding net new users to the atmosphere will be a huge unlock!

Speaking to climate scientists this week, it was interesting to hear that we're likely to hit max emissions within the decade as renewable adoption picks up. If we sequester enough CO2 then we could make it back to 1.5 degrees. Fuck yeah! Let's fucking do it!

Shockingly good news about talking to LLMs

It’s trivial to generate the text of every 12 digit number addition problem. Odds it worth training on the data? 🤷‍♂️ probably not. To list all the problems tho: def print_all_sums(): for a in range(10**11, 10**12): for b in range(10**11, 10**12): print(f"{a} + {b} = {a + b}")

Please stop calling computer image analysis “computer vision.” A computer cannot have vision because it does not have eyes.

It’s been several years since I went around Stanley park, so this was long overdue! When I was a kid, I used to do it on a bike. Cool to be able to do it on foot now. I normally feel spoiled that Seattle’s waterfront is my everyday run, but wow! Vancouver’s waterfront is gorgeous! #running #kimbia

Can’t wait to dig into the new sveltekit major!

Got a sweet treat while in Canada for VanJS, and may have found a new tagline for @nuxt.com at the same time 👀

I could see rejecting a candidate for bringing alcoholic, but a coffee? What an inconsequential detail to focus on for such a big decision.

The difference in response to AI between software devs and artists fascinates me. Art values a work's provenance, whereas software is usually valued by its usefulness. Artists see AI as lost commissions, vs devs are happy to send people with "million dollar" app ideas to build it with chatGPT.

I'm really curious what screenshots look like to LLMs. We disagree often enough about what alignment and gaps look like that I'm starting to wonder if they're seeing the same thing I am.

Okay tried prime agent for a few days, and it seems to consume dramatically more tokens than open code while producing worse outputs. Maybe I'm just using it wrong, but I thought it was supposed to use less tokens and do a better job; I've seen neither benefit.

Using built-in terminal colors (ANSI) on servers will send the color codes to my machine, so if theming is set on my machine remote TUIs render right & respond to my system light/dark changes. How did I not learn this sooner?! 🙃

I’ve been feeling the care for details degrading quickly the past 5 years, both from the transition of career bureaucrats to admin yes-men, and additionally the mass cognitive offloading to AI. I wonder how much the former has influenced the latter.

When I started working on wm, I quickly learned that the OS is why window managers feel wrong on mac. Mac is not a cooperative OS; it has opinions about where windows can move! To address this, I designed wm to learn how the OS behaves and adapt to it. Here's a comparison using learned Mac rules.

Taking prime agent for a spin after all the praise I've seen from @timkellogg.me and others. First impressions are pretty good! I feel it provides better insight to how subagents are being used, and like that subagents don't block main agent interactivity. Too early to judge quality/token usage.

After trying many options and not finding a window manager I love on Mac, I decided to build my own wm. It seemed a waste not to share it though, so I decided to make a website for it. The website needs to explain the product, which is hard. IMO show > tell, so wm runs in a browser too! 😅

This is an important read and I’m thrilled @seldo.com has a plausible approach for tackling the sustainability that has been ravaging open source.

We have officially left the “hand transcribed by monks” era of software.

I made a huge batch of @stephango.com's hearty cookies again and they remain exquisite. They've been popular with everyone I've shared them with at Above & Beyond Group Therapy too.

“Wikipedia article from the future” is a really interesting style for a sci-fi. It hits, though

Yeah if the unsubscribe link isn’t in the email or requires more than 1-2 clicks when I get to the unsubscribe page, it’s a “report spam” from me instead. 🤷‍♂️

Wow so much drama about Navier-Stokes. Who knew it could blow up infinitely in such finite time?

Most devs agree all the other devs are bad at coding, so if an LLM trained on code from all the other devs surely it is also bad at coding.

In an era overrun with "mandatory service fee", "booking fee", "regulatory response fee" and others, one man dared to be different. I've run past the exquisite creatures exhibit a bunch, really excited to finally be checking it out!

Been trying to figure out why I find the AI discourse so off putting. It reminds me of sex ed as a kid: - anti-AI is preaching abstinence, no exceptions burn in hell - pro-AI discourse is shaming virgin and discussing the details MIA: the AI version of “here’s some condoms, have fun & be safe”
