Built this week: backup-first-ai has an optional hook that refuses the worst commands before Claude Code runs them. You should also be using "Auto Mode" as well! It's a seatbelt, not a guarantee. The backup is still the plan. github.com/jordankrueger/backup-first-ai

I'm talking at the AI Open Mic on Tuesday! It's about how I keep Claude Code from wrecking things: house rules, hard limits, and one backup it can't touch. Come say hi. Tue 10/20, 2pm ET, free on Zoom: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/4517894108606/WN_lDupnspWR769OKtPEawJQg

Attachments lose their formatting, and public links live forever. So I built a share link that emails the reader a one-time code and stops working on a date I pick. Wrote up how to set it up on Cloudflare: https://jordankrueger.com/blog/private-links-that-expire/

Ready for AOC is a list of names asking Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to run for president in 2028. We don't take money and never will, and we're not affiliated with her or any campaign committee. Signing just means you want her to run: readyforaoc.com @readyforaoc.com

Was telling a friend that my therapy lately feels a bit like digging up something radioactive: I'm uncovering new understandings that are infecting everything. But accepting them, wrapping my arms around them, and carrying them away hurts me even more! I can only hope the ground will heal once I do.

Let's do it 👏

Before COVID, I tracked down 25yrs of my medical records by hand: I called every old clinic, filing requests, chasing them for weeks! Wrote a new post on why that whole slog is exactly the kind of thing you should be handing to #AI now (and how to do it safely): jordankrueger.com/blog/health-...

Never again be a summer as cool as this in our lifetimes, btw

new yorkers en masse have expressed their enthusiasm for democratic socialism. but these forty men surveyed in the waiting room of the coeur d’alene family court have a different perspective

you people need to show more respect for the political machinery that lost to donald trump twice

Absolutely bananas. I hope this judge ends up behind bars and all these prisoners are pardoned immediately by the next president.

“If companies like @Microsoft.com and Amazon want the social license to keep building these projects that overhaul entire landscapes, they need to significantly ramp up investment in renewable energy and do right by local communities,” Taft said.

I mean if they won't even tear down the ballroom they certainly don't have the spine to pack the courts or the other million things we'll need to do.

When Hitler fell, the purging of that mindset wasn’t de-Hitlerification, it was de-Nazification. When Saddam fell, it wasn’t de-Saddamification, it was de-Baathification. When Trump falls, it will be de-MAGAfication, not de-Trumpification. The entire movement’s hatred and corruption must be purged.

This club has everything: sweaty construction workers harnessed to poles. Desperate liberals shouting about crowbars. And voyeurs streaming video of a wall to millions.

This might be one of the most insane scandals in game history When Pokemon Go players scan PokeStops, theyve been unknowingly building a detailed visual model of the world which is being sold to a military contractor to build a no-GPS positioning for the new generation of unmanned killing machines

Trans people are not “fighting for unpopular positions that society isn’t ready for.” Trans people are fighting to KEEP the rights we have enjoyed for decades. We have been able to legally change our gender markers since the 70s and before. Same with bathrooms, sports, youth, all for decades.

I think this episode might make some people angry, but it contains a tremendously important insight: if you have enough storage on the grid, large new loads can soak up unused capacity & *reduce rates*. Handled correctly, data centers can make electricity cheaper for everyone.

LOVE this idea on #AI #datacenters by x.com/benthompson from Stratechery:

I don't know how you can write an article like this without basically sitting down and saying "I am going to lie to my readers today." I really truly don't understand what's going through the minds of people who write this stuff.

There are so many insane wildly misleading stories coming out about data centers almost every day now that I'm mostly having to give up on commenting on them to focus on actually getting blog posts out, but it feels like a tsunami. This is one of them. Will go into it in a thread below.

Most professionals use #AI like a vending machine: type prompt, take answer, leave. The ones getting real value treat it like a thinking partner. They iterate, provide context, push back on vague answers. progressivesforai.com/archive/issu...
