Vibe coding, staying up late and learning are what you’re supposed to do in your 40s right?

For the first time in a long time… I’m excited about the future.

So much to do. So much to learn.

My fiancΓ© hasn’t watched The Mandalorian so I’ve decided to start saying β€œthis is the way” in conversation often until we’ve caught up to that part of the show.

Software is having its fast fashion era right now. I wonder if there are lessons to be learned from the fashion industry about the path forward.

It called the approach SAPIEN (Secure AI Protocol for Interagent ENgagement).

I had some fun with AI tonight.

This is a protocol Open AI designed on its own to communicate between only trusted parties who know the structure in advance.

Fascinating.

I want to see someone do the image recompression trick with the new OpenAI tool.

Make these people 10 years older. Then make a new image of them 10 years younger, etc.

I wonder what it looks like after a 1000 cycles!

Happy to answer, it’s in Wisconsin.

Issues reported in February, service is scheduled for mid April.

The people have been kind, I just want the company to do well given the state of their competition.

People don’t always believe what you post on the internet. So as proof-ish, here’s two photos.

Bought a Rivian a few months ago and while I want to love it… it’s just not there.

Software is inadequate and buggy, hardware is failing a ton, and service is months out from when issues occur.

Please make this better Rivian! I want you to succeed.

You look so defeated!

Hope you have a speedy recovery.

Proud of you for making it still!

Each run is a blip in the larger scope of your running life, things will continue up and to the right with steady progress!

A US government that doesn’t support free speech is not following the idea of what it is to be American.

Was saddened to see a poor UI implementation from Netflix today.

Prompted to add my mobile number to account, and it didn’t work with iOS built in autofill for both the number and the text code afterward.

It’s a trend I’m seeing more of, poor implementations of seemingly basic functionality.

I feel bad about this:

Saw a bartender marrying two bottles of very high end liquor and reported it to him and the manager.

Did this away from everyone else, but it makes me feel guilty for getting the person in trouble.

Does this mean there’s a chance of you two moving closer to Upper West Side!

Come join us!

Had the opportunity to make stories this weekend. It’s the best kind of therapy, how the world could be if…

Was told it would never happen. Vendors would never agree!

It’s so exciting to see it _almost_ coming to fruition with interop.

I’m hopeful one day we’ll add the last piece, a signal for domains from the user-agent.

Had this proposal a few years ago for a standardized set of features to be advertised as passing to domains from user-agents.

It’d be a yearly conformance list, and a user-agent could advertise it passed once it achieved all the results from the shared list.

In NYC for the weekend for once. So excited to watch the Nets play.

2.5 hours left till done flying for the day. Been at it for 17.5 hours straight and I’m so ready to be done.

This is a nuanced take. Thank you, appreciate it.

From my perspective a const enum is a great developer experience addition (not sold on other enums though). The optimization is nice, but the expressiveness it provides is the real win.

I guess that’s where the difference is. Have always assumed someone would use a sufficiently advanced compiler to execute JavaScript.

const enums from typescript are frowned upon by so many, but I really don’t get why.

X.reason makes a lot of sense in code when it’s compiled to a result of `0`.

Rediscovery is one of humanity’s greatest gifts. Sometimes the second, third, or hundredth time something is discovered is when it applies true value at moving us all forward.

Jealousy due to rediscovery is also, funny enough, one of our worst traits.
