Cherry Plums” are my favorite out of the stone fruit hybrids (Apriums, pluots, etc)

In hindsight, the TV shows TechTV, MythBusters, and No Reservations influenced me a lot.

I just need Opus 4 to tide me over until GPT-5.

They call it “Claude Code” but people are turning it into a general purpose LLM scripting platform.

The main advantage it has over the desktop apps is it can “auto compact” when the messages get long and keep going and going.

Finally got around to watching Firefly. And the movie. Loved it. I miss early 2000s television.

Meditations - Marcus Aurelius

What would you do if you had a million tokens?

I'll tell you what I'd do, man: two Claude Code windows at the same time, man.

AI is following a similar trajectory as smartphones

First, smartphones were enthusiastically adopted by power users who got a huge stepwise advantage (blackberry execs)

Then huge skepticism by general public

Followed by utter domination

Finally collective amnesia that the world was any other way

We're on an Intel style Tick–tock model with these AI releases now.

Tick: new OpenAI model
Tock: new Anthropic model

I’m fairly happy with the liquid glass update on the iOS 26 beta but the animations are very laggy even on an iPhone 15 pro max.

I don’t recommend installing it until they fix the lag in an update.

The cost difference between using Claude Code and cursor /API is insane.

For the $100/mo plan I've already gotten $500+ dollars worth of tokens in 3 days.

I’m basically on track to spend ~3k worth of API credits per month.

Balsamic vinegar gets all the attention but I'm more into red wine and champagne vinegar now

Opus 4 is about 8x more expensive than o3 now (after the o3 price drop).

The lack of auto advance on short form video platforms is interesting.

In contrast regular YouTube keeps playing on its own forever.

Guessing the manual user swipes are an incredibly powerful signal for the algo.

Does anyone actually want the video to repeat by default?

No matter how well intentioned your company is, some random judge can force you to spy on everyone.

I’ve been vibe coding since the GPT-3 API beta.

The AI cope bubble is getting even bigger than the AI hype bubble.

These AI + search tools are cutting through “bro science” like a hot knife

“Bro science” meaning over reliance on n=1 anecdotal evidence or single sources

I keep fact checking conventional wisdom and am surprised at how often it’s wrong

Videogames:

"Don't you realize you're just flipping bits in a memory register while getting lights flashed in your eyes?"

"Yeah, but I can do it better than anyone else."

We’re going to get AGI, humanoid robots, and flying cars and there will still be holdouts coding one char at a time in vanilla vi.

Vibe coding is driving a wedge between those obsessed with the craft and those obsessed with results.

I didn’t like the ending to one of my books so I fed the entire book into Gemini and had it write a better one.

There are multiple pizza styles in the app. My two favorites are New York and Neapolitan.

If you have a fancy oven, I also include ultra-traditional professional recipes too

There are a few “exotic” varieties too like Sicilian and Detroit.

Hope you enjoy it!

You can do a quick same-day version or an excellent overnight version for each recipe.

Since dough timing is critical, the app dynamically adjusts instructions based on your kitchen temperature.

After a lot of research and experimentation, I built an app that guides you through every step.

You pick your pizza type and when you want to eat, and it creates a reverse timeline of exactly what to do and when

If you want really good results, you’ll want to do an overnight fermentation, which is a multi-day process.

It doesn’t require much hands-on time, but it does require timing things properly across multiple days.

Pizza is something I really enjoy. It only needs a few ingredients, all of which freeze and store well, so it’s super convenient to make if I’m busy and want something good.

The only catch: it needs a bit of specialized gear (like a pizza steel) and some advance planning.
