Pumped to be back in <REDACTED> until Friday night Sorry friends this is a work trip and there’s too many of you here to try and meet up with but maybe you’ll see me around

This should be the cause of soul-searching for every California state politician.

OH: "Man, remember when the videogame industry existed"

not to be the most annoying person in the entire universe but both these cves are memory issues that rust would have prevented

Atproto enjoyers: if I wanted an online multiplayer game to use atproto in some way, what might it look like? The most obvious/basic idea is login with atproto/bsky. What else might I consider? Ideally if scores are stored (for a leader board or something) they are tamper proof

the space DUI occupies is low key one of the most insane things about car culture. it's both heavily stigmatized for obvious reasons, while also sort of tacitly generally accepted as common practice to the point of legally requiring BLACKOUT ZONE BAR & GRILL to have a minimum number of parking spots

"I don't actually have a single name" strikes again

Many things like this, including buck/bazel

I at this point am like 90% convinced that reusable/shareable skills packages are a bad thing for LLM users. The 10% is that it can show you what's possible; the 90% is that people want to be incurious and just slap something in the only person who can effectively guide your tasks is you

At long last, we have created a way for you to take away Nikki's free will, from the classic horror movie "don't take away Nikki's free will"

it’s cool that technology has figured out a non-verbal way to have a verbal medium communicate that it hates me and I do believe it more viscerally than I would if the publishers of my favorite publications just published the statement, “we hate you for reading our words go watch a video” 10/10

I love trying to read an article longer than 250 words on a browser on my phone the constant reloading adds a lovely frisson of danger to the reading experience also it loses my place every time it reloads which is both interactive and disorienting best of all is when the ad tech kills the page dead

Hello St Louis! RIP Strange Loop, you are missed.

Update on yesterday's post about Anthropic ripping off Mononoke:

very excited to see this out of A\ this is our thesis at @ersc.io! But we are building a git compatibility layer: ersc.io/blog/what-co... enterprise adoption of new source control is a big ask, so making a smooth bridge from the past to the future is a big part of our offer

i really miss waffle js! is anyone in the bay area interested in co-hosting a similar monthly js/web creative meetup with me?

Ok, so if you've been following along my weekend I've seen this study/preprint shared around a bunch and I decided the people needed a replication opportunity it is here: persist-study.pages.dev Based on this: news.berkeley.edu/2026/10/09/u...

In our course and book _Calling Bullshit_, we posit that If something seems too good, or too bad, to be true, it probably is. Now as a college professor I'm pretty confident that overreliance can AI can harm our thinking ability, but just ten minutes of use? Let's dig into this this study a bit.
