solving problems for band directors seems like the ultimate test case for coordination software because we put 1 underpaid person in charge of 30-50 feral teenagers armed with the industrial age's finest noise making machines

QWOP but it's every continuous parameter in an sdf randomly mapped to some buttons

To the people tagging me about not knowing what a staging server is, stop it. I know that's not a real thing. You're not gonna get me

upside of having a macbook for work is I dislike the os enough to not use it any more than necessary

there's no strong reason to do megakernels for tts, but when you have a coarse quantum scheduler keeping the gpu hot, it goes int he mk with the other models just for ergonomics, and gets the snapshotting infra for near free. so while caching doesn't help much, you can continue line by line :)

haiku> what if it was all heatmaps?

I keep seeing pictures of this woman with wide eyes that can reflect whatever you want to see and I am entranced for a moment each time

I'd been waiting in line for what felt like forever. It hadn't been, obviously - only a couple hours - but time seems to stretch out when everyone around you is nervous. And boy were they nervous. Getting your 4o license is a big deal. The guy behind me was visibly sweating; it was freezing.

There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere* Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines As a species we decided, “we will survive” Let’s do that some more

I remember a paper went by in the early 2000s that warned about info leakage through the blinkenlights on switches...

I ran an errand down to my local music store and toured instruments just on the wall and electric basses and guitars in the $400 range are just absolutely killer these days.

it's funny how we used to talk about the coding dopamine loop as a fun and good thing. I wonder what changed

@abdulelsayed.bsky.social I was going to donate again but this is what my phone is like now. To be clear, I am really excited to have you as my senator. Please talk to your staff and peers about this.

I have a concert to play in tonight so of course my right ear decided it was a good day to double the tinnitus

if you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the right room to teach and lead so do that

I can't with Jev 😅

trying to figure out what to do with this pixel watch 5. it's an okay device but I developed a sore under it just after the return window closed. I wore the previous garmin watch nearly 24x7 for 3 years with no issues so I'm pretty sure it's this device's materials and/or design

how to get into sre: 1) have a Thing you want to do with Computer 2) try to make sure Computer Thing takes care of itself 3) go insane 4) forget why you wanted to Computer in the first place

shitposts aside, this one is serious, my loves: if you’re just waking up and you have any service online running PHP 5.4 to latest, you need to take it down RIGHT NOW and don’t put it back online until after it’s patched absolutely catastrophic vulnerability dropped in the middle of the night

The word “proprioception” is a cognitohazard. Because after you read it you wonder “how” you know the relative position of your body parts in space. And if you question that too closely while sitting, you lose faith that you do know, and start to feel like a gyroscope tumbling through space

details leaked. this vulnerability is a full unauthenticated unconditional remote code execution exploit against any service running on a PHP version from 5.4 until latest yeah if anything deserves CVSS 11, this is it. this is CATACLYSMICALLY bad.

Parents: check your kid's Halloween candy for distillation attacks.

truly a wild time to be alive when the cryptography world is split between those worried about quantum computers and those whose private key is “4”

THIS IS NOT A DRILL. If you package/distribute/maintain root stores or chain verifiers, act immediately. If you know how to remove trust in a root, consider doing it now. Otherwise, prepare to update systems as patches/mitigations come. Go users, update to Go 1.27.3 or Go 1.26.10.

If you run local LLMs, you don't need notifications when the task finishes, because you can hear when the task finishes. (The fan spins down.)

Anthropic recently published a white paper on how LLMs have changed how work is done within the company. My own thoughts on that white paper are here: surfingcomplexity.blog/2026/10/18/a...

it's kinda amazing how much broken shit works inside agents. like I find something that seemed to be okay and I'm like WHAT HOW DID THIS WORK AT ALL, which I guess goes back to sniffing the code more for "sure it works, but should it work and will it survive any changes around it?"

I could orchestrate starting and stopping daemons and string together most of what I want for running various oss & models on the gear I have, but why do that when I can build a whole new kind of distributed runtime for them for a few bucks?

google one account downgraded again. argon is cool but I can't take my eyes off it, so the $20/mo account gives me everything I need to test my agents and do code reviews, which it is awesome at

oops, an accidental isekai amv youtu.be/FxMg6Gt39y8

I needed some test images so I threw a random idea for an isekai world at the agents and now that the images are coming out it's growing on me Oops I Programmed A Virtual World For My Agent And Was Reborn In It As A Princess With Root Access coming soon to youtube, I guess

didn't feel like configuring conky so I had haiku dump out another bespoke tool

I was pretty impressed with Gemini Argon yesterday. Today I am evaluating the code it wrote and it has tons of stubs and faked results. The core code is okay though. So probably can't let it run long on its own, probably needs a fresh context more often.
