"I have a decent fluency in LLMs, and they have utility, but the absurd degree of over-hype, the way they're being forced on everyone, and the insistence on ignoring the many valid critiques about them make it very difficult to focus on legitimate uses where they might add value."

I'm hiring for a dentistry commercial. requires tooth actor authentication.

Sorry, wrong you

me: I like my over-engineered recursive types, stop trying to remove them. ai: Got it! I'll keep the over-engineered recursive types - they're clearly working...

Current status of my fight against the impending robot invasion:

All of those are things I’ve found myself missing when working with other type systems.

- union types in general
- util types
- the strong type inference system
- automatic and custom type guards
- string and template literals just being magic
- how easy it is to ignore the type system when it’s inconvenient

Typescript is under-appreciated in how good it is. Every time I go to another typed language I always find myself missing typescript features.

i saw someone point out that the selector for time on iphone alarms is actually just a really long list and not truly circular. everything i’ve known is a lie

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Supreme Court's liberal majority strikes down the state’s 176-year-old abortion ban.

Unbreaking How the administration is breaking the government, and what that means for all of us.

We've published six pages at Unbreaking.org now, about what's happening in six quite different areas of American life as a result of Trump admin and congressional actions: Equality in the Workplace, Food Safety, Medicaid, Medical Research Funding, the Postal Service, and Trans Healthcare.

Desktop set?? Ohh I need that. I like how with the phone set a lot of the backgrounds came in pairs. I ended up using them for all my different iPhone focus modes (home & lock).

thinking about all my trans friends and their community today, every day. you all deserve peace on this bitch of a planet

The last selfie I took before my egg cracked. I'm sitting on a blue couch, holding a cute stuffed elephant in my lap. I'm white, balding with close-cropped hair and have a salt-and-pepper beard. I'm smiling slightly but my eyes look sad.

Selfie from a few months ago. I'm a beautiful woman in a pink "respectful transexual" t-shirt and a black windbreaker. My hair is blonde and pulled back except for a couple of curled locks framing my face. My makeup is on point and I'm making a kissing face at the camera. My eyes are full of joy.

happy trans day of visibility y'all 🏳️‍⚧️

Lucky! I still have yet to see one IRL. One of these days… 😖

Ohh a Vermillion Flycatcher? Love these birds!

I’ve never seen so much expression on your character before! This one floored me. Please more experimentation in this direction!

Interesting! Maybe try recording your voice on your phone and then playing it back while hitting the piano key?

A cappuccino with a beautifully detailed Rosetta, sitting atop a painted brick divider. There’s a large leafed plant and sunny windows in the background.

have said it before and will say it again:

Bluesky Chat/DMs are not E2EE. don't put anything sensitive in there you wouldn't want rando law enforcement to pore over.

use it to exchange Signal contact info. consider "disappearing messages". do it by habit, get your friends+fam to also.

That said atproto and Bluesky itself won’t be able to stop authoritarian moderation if the government allows and enforces it.

The positive of atproto is that in a theoretical authoritarian state, the outside world could still document and report on things prior to them being taken down.

But if we’re being real here, unless we fight back right now we’re going to end up in a tightly controlled propaganda bubble like many countries.

Now would be a great time for Bluesky to create a sister company in the EU somewhere that just uses the same network, all the same open source code, and has a “moth” for their logo.

Reasonably priced, simple workflow, fairly quiet, and can handle espresso if you ever decide to go that route.

The fellow Opus has been serving me well recently. Great single dose grinder as long as you spritz the beans with some water to avoid the static.

So if I’m understanding today correctly, the world’s richest person Elon Musk, whom no one elected, is taking over federal payment systems and employee data while the federal employees who investigate and prosecute public corruption are being fired en masse.
