At dragoncon, and it's even more than a zoo than I expected. way more people than I thought would be here on a Friday.

With each passing workday I spend agentsitting, my ability to program in isolation atrophies. This might be dismissed as needless self-serving anxiety, but perhaps irrationally, I can't let it go.

Do you code in silence or do you listen to music? If so, what kind of music do you prefer? Personally, I prefer Synthwave, vaporwave or the occasional country.

I’m really digging the cozy vibe of this site. Thanks, @stagasprofilefollowcreative technologist creator of textlog!

Who's enjoying #cnotesfollow in 2026? I'm back after ~14 years away (some sporadic once-in-a-while use in there) and I'm finding it better than ever, a smoother development experience and clearer code than pretty much every language out there, except for maybe #odinnotesfollow.

Using deep research for trip planning and visualising it with coding agent is fun.

'wade in the water.' isn't this the challenge of being 'ahead'? so many of us are waist deep in the same sea, it's hard to see what's in front of us vs. what's behind us. then we see the yacht boys sail by with their new masters, splashing us in their wake. then we grumble amongs

Aaron Sorkin's The West Wing is among the subtlest of all propaganda—it is propaganda that everyone sincerely wishes could be true, and is dangerous specifically because it is not and cannot be.

I’m at the point where I understand half of what the AI tries to explain to me, but anyway, the feeds pages should load 10 times faster now.

I always associate summer with the months June, July, August — thinking that end of August is end of summer — but no, 7th of August is actually summer midpoint, we’re in the middle now, not near the end.

I really like this minimal approach, I wish the maintainer great success with textlog. whatever that may look like to them :) I will make sure to check in occasionally.

Huge refactor today, moved from sync SQLite to Worker based, touched 88 files, pre-#AInotesfollow it would have taken a week or so, finished now in ~1:30h. And I wouldn’t have the confidence I have now that it went correct. It went well, though a bug or two might surface, we’ll see.

I've written a small persistent agent wrapper for agent.py. I'm impressed with how well it works. I feel like a CEO issuing global memos to all my agents after reading their status reports.

Is mayonnaise an instrument?

I have to constantly be working or I get very agitated. Is this #workaholismnotesfollow? I don’t like entertainment other than background music while working and maybe before going to sleep I watch a series on Netflix to relax. That’s when I’m on my introvert mode. When I’m extrovert (I’m ambivert) I have to constantly be around people and outdoors, I get agitated indoors, can’t work at all and definitely can’t watch anything. How do these two personalities co-exist in me?

I made a thing: SwiftTUI.shSwiftTUISwiftTUIBuild terminal user interfaces in Swift with SwiftUI semantics: views, state, focus, gestures, and animation, compiled to one native binary for macOS, Linux, and Windows. Try the live demo, then run the same app in your own terminal.

This bout of COVID is more like “Corona Light” compared to previous years, but I’m still spending most of it in bed. Stay safe out there.

We almost had one, but stopped after the main setup but before signing on. Wasn't convinced of the value. Seemed like they were just doing portfolio reallocation for a pretty penny. What are you experiencing?

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

So I found the blog of a Ukrainian Front Line soldier on Bear Blog today. Incredibly grim stuff to read, but I really wanna get in touch with that guy now and send him so cash so he can buy a burger. Hope Herman forwards my message 😪

Management says „AI first“, everyone hears „Human second“

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?

I naively went into a work problem thinking that RAG was solved by the service offered at work, and wow was I wrong. Been a fun week so far experimenting with many different methods before doing the academic research, and it's been nice to be validated by outside research.

my wife is concerned that my job search will not be fruitful due to my use of ai to build and orchestrate my json and latex resume and cover letter build pipeline. it has not changed much since I initially built it almost 20 years ago. there are only so many ways that the core metadata can be assembled for presentation, yes? #resumenotesfollow #aifearnotesfollow #jobsearchnotesfollow

Cooked really good chicken this weekend

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...

apparently there is some filtering. can't say "hit*s with hand".

hi

i love indian food.

I really needed a quiet microblog. This looks like exactly what I'm looking for.

moved to a new city recently and going to a Movie club meetup tonight. nervous cause I'm a huge introvert but I gotta make friends some way.

hi :3

Hi!

I'm not an optimist, just a pessimist who's still proactive: I don't think things are going to get better, but I just can't talk myself into giving up yet.

Is it just my phone or is HN down? I haven't been able to access at all today

Since you guys are on textlog I think you will find this article and discussion interesting lobste.rs/s/5gcd3t/html_can_doLobstersHTML Can Do That22 comments chrisburnell.com/html-can-do-that/Chris BurnellHTML Can Do ThatHTML has been gobbling up swathes of what used to be JavaScript’s remit. This page lists a bunch of dynamic functionality that we can now achieve with just HTML. A character count though that still requires JavaScript sadly enough 🥺

A thing I've been doing lately is trying to come to the same conclusions others have without looking their the direct techniques and code. Last night I tried to figure out why people do vector based retrieval for RAG and ended up running these experiments: n0tls.com/…/2026-09-03-i-think-…rag-with-grep.html I'm still going to do an explore agent. #ainotesfollow #ragnotesfollow #evalsnotesfollow
