Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

Time to get into grounds maintenance

kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it

Actually pubsub for email can also be done via RSS or mailing lists. Though I've never seen an org implement those successfully.

I feel like if you have well-scoped internal email groups set up, it makes that easier. all@company.com, engineering@company.com, api-team@company.com, etc.

Still, I agree that this puts more work on the sender to figure out who to send to.

I do like the idea of pubsub for email!

(It's a feature, not a bug.)

LLMs will NEVER be able to cure my anxiety/depression. 😏

I hope JMAP catches on and eventually supersedes IMAP.

JMAP seems to have better collaboration features for small/large organizations. Immutable message IDs, shared mailbox support, native permissions without needing an ACL extension, persistent per-user subscription state, etc.

The desert dumping site where Atari buried a bunch of video game cartridges in the 80s.

Got to visit a piece of history today: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_v...

Heracleum maximum - Wikipedia

Where I grew up our equivalent was "pushki": en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heracle...

The only pro of it was that when it died and dried out, the stalks made for excellent toy swords.

Thinking that you’ll be more successful the more coding agents you have running in parallel is like thinking you’ll be more successful as a manager the more reports you have.

These days when I detect even the slightest hint of LLM-generated writing, I instantly disconnect and filter/block the author/source as much as possible. It's like a negative reputation system for me.

If you can't express your thoughts without an LLM, I consider it a waste of my time to read them.

What's your favorite clingy shell?

"Good. Now I have a complete picture."
I promise you, you don't.

Oh noooo, the company that extracted our data for their models is having others extracting data for their models

Proxmox is what I've settled on, running on a mini PC with external GPU passthrough. It offers a nice mix of both VM and container options.

Supreme Court strikes down most of Trump's tariffs in a major blow to the president The decision does not affect all of Trump's tariffs but invalidates those implemented using an emergency law.

The squalor of Trump has brought us back to the basics — especially understanding the importance of checks and balances and separation of powers.

This is a mess of Trump's own making — and a reminder that he's not all powerful.

A different jumping spider we found in our house, unnamed.

A past jumping spider of mine in its enclosure; we named this one "Jack".

Jumping spiders of the genus Phidippus are the exception for me; they are cute, intelligent, and you can play with them. They will literally tilt their heads like dogs when they watch you.

ai;dw; 😏

I'm still not sold on "skills". They just feel like more context/prompt as written language rather than any understanding. How do we encode "if you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe"? I just finished replaying the game Prey; skills feel like neuromods. 😅

I like the quick feedback cycles. I worry about the larger environmental/political implications, Dunning–Kruger onset, and psychosis risks. I want better/cheaper self-hostable models with fewer gatekeepers. I worry about the coming enshittification. I'm hopeful OSS will remain a safe option.

An alternative: give the designers Livebook and use something like: hexdocs.pm/kino_compone...

You could have one Livebook file per component. 😄

How will Codespaces billing work with public and open-source orgs/repos? · community · Discussion #15645 Currently GitHub will monetize codespaces in orgs that pay for GitHub Team or GitHub Enterprise Cloud.
