let's make this an actual intro post on my page 👋

Flint: a brand new, from scratch, small LLM that’s a heck of a lot faster than Qwen3.8-27B and basically as good recursive.com/updates/intr...

computers are now battlefields

Wish someone would release patches for my vulnerabilities

my cats could be transgender and id have no idea

audiophiles are like i came as soon as i heard

epoch time

the hardest problems in software are now, and have always been, social problems

Love that some execs are paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year and yet still need to do studies to determine that teaching people how to do their jobs well makes them better at doing their jobs.

damn i did look pretty cute today huh

not now kitten, daddy's path is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men.

missing corny ”I can’t even draw a stick figure” jokes like she’s my dead wife🤧

if you are pure of heart the women in New York will be nice to you. They will take care of you.

capitalist forces are backing the big AI companies into a corner, and the only two ways out are: - technological revolution that reroutes massive swathes of the economy out of knowledge worker salary and into AI - bankruptcy in other words, if the bubble *is* going to pop, it's getting there.

the point is that "cost per token" is decreasing, so thus with Jevon's Paradox, usage (left) is going *up* while revenue (right) remains mostly flat. this chart says nothing about supply costs, quality, or social impact. for a well-researched examination of what this means, see my friend's blog:

‘This slowdown has been unusually stubborn. We’ve recorded two straight months of virtually no growth in token spend. The main driver is price declines at the frontier, in addition to efficiency and quality improvements for models across intelligence levels.‘ econlab.substack.com/p/ai-index-o...

gods i love girls in business fashion

holy HECK i love my cat Ivy so much

we truly have a runic language for speaking to the intelligent rocks

so my girlfriend's dream last night was "Zeldagame/porngame-ified Jurassic Park"

Americano good! particularly when my household doesn't keep milk around so a latte is inaccessible. I might try a black tea Americano soon. I already drink a black tea most mornings, but I've been wanting some extra caffeine, and I do like the taste of espresso.

much respect for Professor Tao, but there are so so so many medical therapies that work without anyone really understanding how or why they work one of the great things about science is that we can use empirical knowledge in practice far ahead of when theoretical frameworks catch up to refine it

impromotu Towers of Hanoi bc im carrying too many things

thank you. I'm concerned by the opinion that Jacob's public career is over. if the victim's wish is for Jacob to atone and make the world better (including via making leftist content), who are we to assume otherwise? do we force the victim to come out and give a 👍 to clear his name?

today's makeup for office and evening cult: incredibly quick (just eyeshadow), moderately experimental

i fucking LOVE telling my cats "you are a cat" bonus points for russian accent

i! love! keyboard shortcuts! i can set (caps) + (modifier key) + (space) to print the symbol for (modifier key): ␣⌘⌥⌃🌐⇧⭾⇪ now i can tell someone to go ⌘+F themselves *so easily*

all aboard the sleep train

i want you to do that thing youve been putting off. do it tonight. do it this weekend. just do it.

i guess it makes sense people are so resistant to having agency over themselves considering that anglo culture, familial upbringing, and pedagogy is centered around control, exclusion, narcissist rage. you can't, you won't, that's not allowed, how dare you

i believe in you. sorry if this offends

im sorry if this offends but i believe that you are in fact capable of learning new things, improving your skills, becoming a better person, and having a happier life than you currently do.

the word "enjoy" has an interesting connection between linguistics and psychology. like "enable" and "enmesh", it means "to make something joyful". it's not passive like "appreciate (what you have)"; it describes active action. your life isn't restricted to one path. so go *enjoy* your life.

that's not a Lazy Susan! it's a Delinquent Delilah!

so, I've ended up doing open source work on GitHub tonight. instead of my plans to work on music hobby community sysadmin stuff however, I have outlined four objections to [Salad Theory](saladtheory.github.io) and an alternative system of foodstuff ontology: The Hold Rule
