The interface needs some work. For example, I would like the textarea that I am using right now to be as wide as the header above. Also, where is the character counter?

Trying to gently work my way back to the target intensity needed for the Norwegian 4x4 to get my weekly dose of suck and feel accomplished after. Chronic left leg pain unfortunately likes reminding me it's there though.

Just got Moshi set up - a phone-friendly terminal app. Works well with Herdr for persistent agents, friendly UI. Verdict so far: looks like I'll be working more from my phone.

the more you use ai to create stuff, the less you touch the creativity void inside you

I have a toddler. I come home from work, cook, feed, clean, wash up. We read stories and play. I put him to bed. Then I put something on the television and my wife and I scroll on our phones until she goes to bed. I am not so careless with the little free time I have. I continue to scroll until about 1 am. The next morning I do it again. On the weekends, I get to drink wine.

I hate crawlers that don’t advertise they’re crawlers. ’n badly written. They don’t respect the canonical URLs so they keep getting themselves into a loop instead of actually crawling the site properly. They make the logs really hard to read. Can’t block them they’re distributed.

Before AI, coding was my creative outlet. Now, it seems like I need to find a new one, but hobbies being #ttrpgnotesfollow and #videogamesnotesfollow, and with a family, I'm not sure where to find the time.

The pendulum has swung far in the direction of favouring machine generated content over that from actual people. I wonder when it will swing back?

Just three more commits left, but /usage ran out. Resets at 01:50, so I guess I am going to sleep.

Looks like you-know-who has finally come for nitter. :-( nitter.net

The mental shape of a programming language resurfaces, and my mind craves writing programs in it. Array languages, concatenative, Lisps, Smalltalks.

Quick, answer immediately without thinking. #pollnotesfollow

The Hugging Face / OpenAI incident is like a sci-fi movie! #ainotesfollow

Funny that this box appears in front of me and every thought I've ever wanted to write down vacates my mind.

Apparently, Xiaomi is making a DGX Spark competitor.

There are many distractions. Much is way too verbose. A calm, quiet and “distraction less” experience suits me better. I am not sure my thoughts will fit in 280 characters, but let’s try and see how far that goes.

buit a keyboard driven calendar webapp right now cause im disappointed with all tho other solutions i could find. no dependencies, super customizable, im kind of obsessed. for the first time in my life im actually keeping my calendar alive.

You look in the corner, you see a guy quietly eating cigarette butts. It's ok. He's dealing with a lot of stress from work. He takes care of his family. Capitalism

Friyay!

Any runners on here? I mostly consider myself a trail runner, but of course train on roads, too. Good for 1–2 races/year, more into running as a practice, a way to manage stress and stay fit.

Useful software necessarily contacts the world; models are already better than us at finding and poking holes in it; agents sacrificing themselves for a collective. Huggingface incident has me finally Yudkowsky-panic-curious.

Waiting for an original thought to pass me by.

bill gates built microsoft by making computation cheaper faster and harder for government to restrain. now that he's a billionaire no longer dependent on the free market for his own success he's discovered the virtues of taxing the next wave of computation. 1995 gates would have called it a tax on innovation. classic pull-the-ladder-up-behind-you politics. #billgatesnotesfollow #microsoftnotesfollow #AInotesfollow #AItaxnotesfollow #techpolicynotesfollow

This is my first note, there are many like it, but this one is mine.

At a philosophical level, can we have nice things?

I really love the feeling of a new social network app! Takes me back to high school when I first used facebook. Somehow makes it easy to share things.

I want to become an excellent marketing person😭😭

Bad people are working together to enrich themselves and slave others into rat races. Good people need to start working together too.

Any #Netflixnotesfollow shows recommendations? I have no idea what is worth watching (since I rarely watch shows) so now I’m watching The Mentalist from 2008. They had flip phones then.

Got a bunch of things to do, hate procrastination, any advice is welcome

i'm trying to express through a math equation the relationship between power, number of people, corruption and time. corruption = (time in a position of power * power)/number of people who have power what do you think?

I'm curious how do people start writing longer novels.. what determines the length of it? Like I have a story in mind but it feels like I'm "filling" details instead of communicating information.

Ahoy denizens of textlog. Like the concept.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

At moms house for the holiday weekend so the kids can see Nana. She has a "premium Plex" account on her tv serving a truly massive amount of content. Allegedly the brother of a long time friend is offering the "service". She says that the service will go down when the host is having outages, so the infra is likely local. I brought my year this weekend. We are going to dig in to this guys operation. Intuition dictates that there is some hand rolled accounting going on. I'd like to see it.

Hello world. :)

Why did the programmer quit his job? #spoilernotesfollowrevealBecause he didn’t get arrays.

Togo sofas remind me of Heidi Klums worm costume

Everytime I post something on HN or elsewhere, I get about a dozen or more emails and they're all talking about the same thing; they have a platform and they want to help me grow my business, they promise. They look personalized but they're #ai_slopnotesfollow #spamnotesfollow.

Still in Quebec City, which has a pretty sizable street population once you come down from the hill where the tour groups go. We had to basically step over some guys sharing a glass pipe on the only stairs up the hill yesterday; I have teenagers so this bothered me. Later, my youngest and I were talking and he says "why don't the police do something about that?"

What is this? I Like It

The live tab on the android app is interesting... How does it work? This is a test 🫣

How can I change an organisation with hundreds of frustrated employees, when I can’t change my own life with only one person. Does a different person run a company and a different person live their life? I doubt it.

I very much like textlog, it feels like a breath of fresh air

Maybe implementing a subset of Markdown would be a good thing. I am thinking about bold, italics, inline code, and code block, mostly. Oh, and links.

I arrived Seoul, now. Stay for 5 days.

there's a gentle kind of space not some echoing cave nor some incessant chirping flock more a darkened back room lit by a projector candid photos of your neighbors songs made only for friendly ears and the kind of brave words that rarely make it out of our hearts

Turn the car on. Shift in Neutral. Gas to the bottom. This is how my head feels most of the time.

Really glad to be using Haskell for work - especially in today's climate with agentic coding. Our team uses containers to keep our development environment consistent across team members, though, and most agent sandbox approaches want to either offload your work fully to the cloud or they want to sandbox the agent harness process itself. We're not ready for full cloud based development (yet?) and sandboxing just the agent doesn't work for us when the agent needs to run docker. #haskellnotesfollow #ainotesfollow

My son's new class doesn't have a Smith, Johnson, or Williams. It's the Hughes kid who breaks in at #96Name CensusUS Last Names · Popularity, Meanings & Census DataEvery US last name from the Census Bureau surname files, ranked by prevalence..

Yes 🙌 the authoring box first thing. Before I get distracted. Heck, make writing something down how I get distracted from reading others' posts.

I stopped interacting much with social media years ago and am honestly not sure how to do this any more… but I like the shape of what is starting here.

This SM is like a subreddit feed, except you also get a personalized feed along with 'hot' and 'latest' for people you follow. Or maybe it's modelled after twitter? Never used it so wouldnt know

Applied to an L5 software engineering role via e-mail and without any other contact I received back a bunch of questions that clearly look like they're aimed at L6 or even L7. Not sure what to do with that so I withdrew. Briefly considered answering them but was weirded out.
