i need to be able to do this, i really really really need to be able to do this. this would be amazing for bits

i need a reversed eyes emoji so I can do a bit under highly suspect materials

The realization that everything worthwhile is somewhere out my front door and beyond the horizon and much further than what presently feels safe

Sike, GPU and motherboard are both dead. Fortunately I have another motherboard but a 9070xt + block is $1200 rn :(

holy shit it smells like a firework went off in here, guess it's a Friday night trip to micro center lmaoooooo FUCK

greatest character development of the last 6mo is that I've gone from mimicking Evie's vocalizations so I can talk back to her, to now making startled cat noises involuntarily when slipping in the shower........

idk but past life me would be super embarrassed by me as I am today and that's a huge fucking accomplishment to be honest

Dumpstered most of the depression den and survived moving into the new apartment over the long weekend :3 Unburying myself and figuring out decor is gonna take time but I'm happy to finally be starting over 🥹

today I acquired a new pair of white vans to beat the brakes off of and got my name change court order in the mail :))))) i'm so so so fucking excited

the problem with Fable is that for a few days I was holding a primordial flame in my hands, I had captured lighting in a bottle, I was finally threading the needle at long last. The age of slop could finally come to a close, but then Howard Fucknick decided to take a piss over all of it.

monitoring the situation

Fable is actually extraordinary, I think it's honestly under priced at current API rates. We're still disagreeing and I'm still correcting it, of course, but it's about highly nuanced design or implementation concerns, which is an enormous departure from what it was like working with Opus. Wild.

The fact that we're going at it about design taste and technical nuance is even more reason for me to feel secure in my job, sloperators and vibe coders would be completely lost and out of their depth in the design sessions I've been working through over the last few days

I genuinely believe this is because high frequency trading automata are ingesting news where Trump's words are treated and advertised as truth, and they trade based on those signals. So long as news outlets keep falling for it, so will the markets.

The President just said we're on the cusp of a deal with Iran. Today's post explores two fun facts: 1. It's the fiftieth time he's said this. (I counted!) 2. Even so, stocks rose on the news. newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/how-to-pri...

Fable is two-shotting some insane stuff in front of my eyes, while not even remotely threatening any of my usage limits. I have yet to experience any hallucinations or fucky behavior, really impressed. Hilariously expensive at API prices but WOW this technology has come a long ways.

This model could not have done what it did without me laying the ground truth in the way of planning it out, writing requirements, doing research, etc. I'm still a skeptic and you you still need talented software engineers to get the fancy matrix to do the right dance, but this is a new bar for LLMs

I'm enjoying watching reels of Israeli military installations getting slimed by hypersonic missiles after a long day🥰🥰

But actually I think I'm gonna start making more wiring harnesses and trying to do a project where I can parameterize some wire dsl and pin dsl for doing math and other stuff with your setup, and then I figure out how to automate the production... I should definitely film this project

Forgive me, I am but an abused child who missed out on most positive reinforcement so I reflexively think the only reaction anybody will have to anything I share about myself will be to make fun of me and put me down because I'm bad at the thing. We're working on untangling that but nonetheless

how I got where I got being the worst kind of person (software engineer) is really just a story about forgoing earthly desires for sucking at esoteric technologies and sticking with it without positive reinforcement for the better part of a decade and then someday comes suddenly

I have spent at least 3k hours since birth working on my dots just to be able to do pointless shit like

all of the server hostnames at my company are based on some sort of flora 😇 and completely by accident my dead (beloved) childhood dog became the namesake of the edge compute that goes into our on-prem product 😭😭😂

checking in with the rest of the world on LLM-driven Nix debugging, MiniMax M3 is waging holy war against 32bit Nvidia X11 driver failures and produced this absolute abomination

next project is getting my team off of Notion and onto Linear, and that'll probably be harder than any technical work I've done here over the last 3y

Spending my Friday night longboarding and dodging getting bus-factored by an inebriated Uber driver, like god intended

LLMs should have never left the hands of software engineers tbh, the whole world having access to what is pitched as a magical answer machine but is actually a very very fragile talking Manhattan project that makes you go insane if you use it wrong was an enormous mistake. Pandora's box.

My father does not need access to the thing that rots your ability to think if you use it wrong, but if you use it right your workdays get a lot easier. That is not a trade off that the mass market should be exposed to, but corporate greed go brrrrrr

it's the year of our lord 2026 and I have an arbitrary number of out-of-their-depth but psychotically enthusiastic juniors (but worse) at my disposal, you can bet your ass everything I do is either a greenfield Rust project or rewriting some Python slop into god's chosen language

this is all to say that I really wish the cofounders would let me have a team of lil gremlins to send on spirit quests :( juniors >>> LLMs any day of the week

I need a solarpunk future where I have silent waterboxed 52u rack in my bedroom performing miracles with VRAM fully powered by renewables, a future paid for with the proceeds of putting ebong musk into a wood chipper

I’ve been in the I don’t trust the dude with the Nazi tattoo since the beginning and people were like oooooh but the alternative was Susan Collins or Janet Mills dummy. No the alternative is the party cultivating talent and doing capacity building

I'm kinda losing my shit today because we unearthed a lot from the years that I erased last night... how do I stop being magnetically attracted to people who hate me ????? we're out of the self-hatred stage but firmly in the "I have no idea how to remedy this" stage

I really need to just start lying and telling people I'm unemployed and/or have a trust fund, I think that would be a more comfortable experience than immediately being put into the box I've been trying to get out of for most of my life

"You seem like an engineer" is probably the highest efficiency option for things you can say that immediately make me want to find a find a ledge to swan dive off of

The rainbow is here all year long, so we don't need to change the profile for June. But it is a good time to remind everyone that LGBTQIA+ rights are under attack all year long as well. And to steal @haskell.org's message: there would be no Gleam without trans people 🩵🩷🤍

Got rid of the tent today and the truck feels brand new, handles so much better and saw an immediate 3 mpg gain ahaha
