Finally getting feeling back to most of my thumb after 3 weeks. This has probably been one of the most disruptive and annoying injuries I’ve had.

One of my most successful uses for AI outside of coding has been as a sort of mid-life coach. Currently it's helping me figure out what to do about my contact prescription since I'm currently at the line where tweaking the variables between near and far results in diminishing returns.

I swear the Savage Planet games were such a pleasant surprise. Both of them ended up being so fun and quirky. I love the ridiculous in game commercials.

While this wouldn't need humanoids, I would imagine getting them into the wild will make it so much easier to gather realistic data on things like determining who's talking to whom in a group setting.

Have been meaning to pick up that RoboCop: Rouge City expansion Unfinished Business. I absolutely loved the main game. Took me right back to the 80’s.

Sometimes I wonder whether theres a difference in token anxiety between people who started using LLM tools recently vs those who’ve been messing around with them for years. It’s one of the reasons I don’t mind paying for a pro subscription.

I never really understood the feature of being able to queue up messages in tools like Claude Code and Codex CLI. How are people using an interactive chat app asynchronously without knowing what the output to prior messages will be?

Over this past year the ratio of being annoyed to being impressed with the AI coding tools has drastically changed. Codex CLI has just consistently been reliable for me. An unlike in the past where I had to spell out every little thing it often just gets it.

I really hate that ChatGPT advanced voice is 4o based. Even if they need to use something like that for multimodal I wish it could act more as a scribe or intermediary with the other models.

I had no idea Codex CLI already supported forking sessions. Esc+Esc puts it into backtrack mode, subsequent Esc will walk back to desired message and Enter will fork the conversation and generate a new session file.

They should make a device similar to a face-hugger pod, that contains something bad, like hornets or bed bugs or a rabid squirrel or something, and it monitors your computer use and some behaviors cause it to start opening while others make it close back up.

The older I get the more radicalized I become against Safety. Not safety, as in common sense stay safe, but Safety, as in the trojan horse used by strongmen on the right and special interests on the left to promise to bring order to the chaos so that people just willingly sign up for their thing.

Have been trying to ignore the LLM suicide stuff. Maybe I’m desensitized from dealing with it multiple times in person, but the one thing I learned and had to adjust my feelings for was: It is extremely difficult to help someone who isn’t looking for help even when you’re a human in the thick of it.

I tried deer hunting once when I was a teen, but then I saw Predator and thought that was a much better ethical framework. Now I'll only hunt if the animal is also armed.

Not being able to feel your thumb is incredibly annoying. I've gotten it to where I can work the spacebar and the xbox controller, which is good enough, but still, annoying.

Getting the itch to buy or build an AI PC. Started with a Mac Studio M2 Ultra 128GB a couple years ago which has been great for testing local models and tooling, but prefill speeds really holds it back. Will probably upgrade to the M5 when it’s out, but would be nice to have some CUDA capability.

Finally slept without needing a tylenol for the first time in two weeks since my shoulder and arm tried to tear itself apart. Haven’t needed them during the day for a few days now. Now just waiting to get full feeling back in my thumb.

Omg... I can't stop laughing after seeing an insta reel with the look on this mom's face when her kid rhymed "6 7" with 9/11 and looking at the comments it's apparently a thing.

Squirrel intelligence is so underrated. I have multiple ones that come up to the window and look for me to request treats. One even got excited and tried to take a nut out of my hand but when it's teeth touched my finger it backed off and waited patiently.

I'm mostly joking when I say this about the GPUs in space idea, but mass producing radiation hardened chips and moving them off world sounds exactly like something an AI who wants to win a fight against a bunch of non-radiation hardened on world meat bags would come up with.

Toyota just demoed a personal mobility chair that literally walks—up stairs, sideways, and into a car.
Meet “walk me”: a four-legged, stair-climbing, height-adjustable mobility device aimed at seniors and people with limited mobility.
