shower thought: swap 'is a model' for 'is constructed' and postmodernism suddenly becomes a lot more palatable without losing much of its core message.
Any conversation
I got jumpscared by the moon rising because itโs visible from where Iโm sitting and itโs huge.
I love full moon. It does something to me.
I've been on a kick lately of trying to visualize the oscillating clock, and ultimately the effectively arbitrarily complex activity of a computer processor, as modern refinements of the line shaft factory of the 19th century. Of compute as being not much more than profoundly refined "work" delivered by the electrical grid into marvelously complex machines.
Does that, as a metaphor at least, feel as important to you as it has to me of late? We spend so much time in a world abstracted.
Devs! Drop your so we can follow each other! Love to see the projects youโre working on. Mine: โ

Gave up on github after the acquisition. Very glad I did, given the unsurprising decline since then.
And what do you use now?
same. about to move stuff over to codeberg.org
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.
mรฉg csak barรกtkozom azzal a gondolattal, hogy a Gemma 4 miatt elลszรถr is Windows 11 lesz a gรฉpen (meg hogy Szentmihรกlyon presszรณ lesz), ezรฉrt nehรฉz elkezdeni
I'm still getting used to the idea that because of Gemma 4, I'll have Windows 11 on my computer first (and that there will be a presso in Szentmihรกly), so it's hard to get started.
๐ค I built agent-top - an open-source htop for AI agents.

Putting a slide deck together (outside of work), despite agreeing with Tufte on this matter. Iโll also create a handout that tells the story better than the slides and deliver that, too, but was asked to produce a slide deck, and I think thatโs part of the โeffort theater.โ
Using Beamer for the slides, but not a theme that looks like Beamer because humans have eyes.
Lots of slop PRs at $WORK. Trying Claude Tag, works well but token-billed, daily usage over 100โฌ for three sessions.
ouch, that's a month for virtually unlimited Codex. why so expensive?
Anthropic uses token billing for Claude Tag. But itโs different from CC - itโs an AI Colleague, so Iโm asking PM and EM to talk to it instead of to me - accountability switches.
