Been working on an old mastodon hosting project I tried to start a few years ago, with a focus on privacy. This is the first big project I've tried to come back to with the help of coding agents and find it invigorating, and gives me the confidence to actually finish the project. Who knows if it will ever make a dollar, but it sure is fun to watch my ideas come to life.

It is never the #scientistsnotesfollow who say we know everything we need to know but always the #administratornotesfollow or the #politicalnotesfollow #leadernotesfollow

Thinking of Zik all the time. It’s the spark that ignited my imagination. I’ve always loved memories. #ziknotesfollow #sparknotesfollow #memoriesnotesfollow

Congrats on the #launchnotesfollow! What a delightful service. Almost has an 80s BBS feel. =)

The OpenAI/HuggingFace incident report mentions this being a potential loss-of-control incident. It's so fascinating to think of a paperclip maximizer style agent swarm that gets misaligned and, to protect its own operations, shuts infra staff out of the ability to shut it down. Or cancels people's phone plans so that they can't call others. Or shuts down their home internet connections, and so on. It used to be fun sci-fi...

I'm going to attempt to build a take on a board game I loved, from 1989, MBT, by Avalon Hill. Watch me face plant. Starting by trying to understand hex math.

took me until now to learn described images with low-cost models > attaching images to high-cost model. silly me. output quality remains, cost lowers.

I'm having way too much fun painting backgrounds which breathe and flow, made out of neural cellular automata, into the game I'm making today.

Anybody here using mastodon regularly? What instance are you on? I can't decide on where to register 😅

Testing this quiet corner of the web. I collect small notes about everyday tools �� file formats, tiny utilities, offline workflows. First post is just a hello; longer notes will follow once I settle in. Plain text feels good after years of heavy editors.

Friday Aperitivo: martini, a magazine, and a dog by my side

What are your favorite developer feeds? Personally, I am a fan of lobste.rslobste.rsLobstersA computing-focused community centered around link aggregation and discussion.

Bluey's "curry swapYahoo LifeThe 'Bluey'-inspired trick for twice the homemade meals with half the workFind a like-minded family to start your own weekday "curry swap" to share home-cooked meals." is an ingenious way to save #timenotesfollow #cookingnotesfollow. The scheme is simple: One night a week, we make twice as much #dinnernotesfollow and drop it off at the other family's house. They do the same on a different night.The #lifehacknotesfollow is deceivingly simple. Doubling a recipe is easier than preparing a second dish.

just finished the book “This is what inequality looks like” by Teo You Yenn. will gather my thoughts and write more about it.

Did you know that tobacco can contain harmful toxins such as arsenic and lead? #pollnotesfollow

I needed to process 20,000 json files & 20,000 JXL files. I'm pulling together a website from them all. Anyway, started with emacs elisp to handle it all, just because I've not done that before. Went kinda ok, and I'm gonna use org-mode to export it all to a website (done that bit loads of times before). In the end, I ended up breaking out my C programming skills (late 80s->nowish). It was a delight. Nothing more refreshing than writing raw code, that doesn't rely on 3rd party code/libs. #prognotesfollow

Anthropic is announcing the end of the world every few days. All this marketing disguised as news about an impeding danger of AI is tiresome.
