My book, *Sweet Taste of Empire* is a Thanksgiving book (kinda) It teaches much about the dynamics of hospitality & the meanings of the foods on your plate. as in this discussion of George Percyโ€™s description of being fed by an Algonquian leader:

I'm not sure this is better than AST-Grep (ast-grep.github.io), but someone try this tell me which is better.

Fully open source, local semantic code search for Claude Code that works. osgrep -v2 is live!

36% faster answers, 23% cheaper, 70% win rate

How I Use Claude Code on My Phone with Termux and Tailscale You don't need a new startup or third-party service to use Claude Code on your phone. You just need SSH, Tailscale, and Termux. Here's how to code from anywhere with the tools you already have.

My opinion - you can, but that doesn't mean you should.

My AI tip of the day: Maximize what you get from tech podcasts by using Deep Research from ChatGPT or Gemini to summarize discussions about the episode.

This layers on outside perspectives and insights to what you heard. Itโ€™s also a solid way to vet episodes and decide which are worth a full listen

Closures are one of the most misunderstood parts of JavaScript - but they're important, too. So Sumit wrote this handbook to teach you the ins and outs of closures. You'll learn about functions & params, scope, let vs var, and see a bunch of code examples, too.

MTG becoming a voice of reason explaining to Republicans that they let themselves get screwed by billionaires in exchange for racist policies wasnโ€™t in my bingo card.

That said, sheโ€™s just an opportunist who can feel which way the wind is blowing.

A lot of the AI culture wars seem to stem from:

1) calling everything under the sun "AI", lumping ChatGPT in with random forests

2) not making a distinction between AI the technology and the AI that's the companies stealing copyright and shoving chatbots where they don't belong
