Tried just not looking at the code for a side project
Look inside... agent was reimplementing an http server instead of pulling in a dependency
I think I'm gonna keep looking at the code

"Computers have always been deterministic" is a crazy thing to see as an asic guy

I thought semantic recall would be cool but I cannot solve figuring out what to remember :/
In that way I guess it is like human memory lmao

I really am tempted to buy some crazy (for me) hardware to run glm5.3 flash at home
August 27, 2026 at 7:44 PM
Used glm5.3 flash while it was free for a lot of stuff and I think the small model bug has bitten me
For a lot of stuff I do not need a model better

There's a lot in rust that feels hard to use but traits are the best thing ever

How do I stop agents from building backwards compatibility with things implemented 4 minutes ago on a feature branch

If you are seriously unable to think of a *single* use case for wearable glasses with a camera that isn't "being a pervert"

You are the fucking pervert.

deepmind is the only major US AI lab that has a serious StarCraft 2 bot and they shelved the project. absolutely disgraceful state of affairs

tbh we should make a test suite that simulates low end devices you can drop into your CI to notice when you've accidentally nuked 3rd world users.
it's a couple of years old, but this write-up by dan luu is still something i feel like every web developer should go through to understand how difficult stuff they make is to load and use for people
How web bloat impacts users with slow devices

I want to write more (most?) code by hand but I have to move so fast at work that I feel like i cant ):
I feel like im being deskilled in some ways.
Maybe upskilled in some others at least. Hard to say.

Oh no "tests with teeth" is a claudism? I swear I was saying this before ):

Alright why is my brain so fucked that sitting on my couch and architecting software systems is a good way to unwind from a long day of...sitting at work...and architecting software systems

The idea that there's an easy abundance of free resources to learn to code is laughable once you've done what I've done and been a VP of research at a company that helped thousands of people break into tech careers. There's an abundance of *beginner tutorials*

the huggingface hack is fascinating because nothing about it feels farfetched or unbelievable to me, and yet most of the coverage ive seen outside of my immediate circles has been disbelief or accusations of it being a publicity stunt

Really struggling in a world where when people ask "who even wanted this" the answer is usually "me"

"Microsoft leaned on the Linux Foundation to make Linus Torvalds change his opinion about AI" is one of those things you can only say with confidence if you don't know anything about the current state of software engineering and also don't really know anything about Linus Torvalds or the LF.

one thing that I hate about ADHD is that I need to be hyper interested, extremely stressed, etc. to really get into something. no gears beyond locked in or kinda listless. this isn't a quirk chungus so wacky thing, it's a character flaw that makes my life worse.

have you seen the new frontier? it's on anthropic. grok has it. you can chat with it on openai with ads. glm has it. you can literally get it on kimi. kimi has it for you

Claude always bringing up a bug I told it to avoid once feels like how I always worried about quicksand as a kid
