Money is a tool– think about your relationship with money. Do you wield money as a tool, or do others wield money as a tool to use you?
it can only do at most 4 in parallel! what normal sized prints do you suggest?

zfs/copy-on-write/trash bin is perfect for "autonomous AI agents" tbh; let them delete files, they'll still exist in older snapshots

Claude is very resistant to spending money on my behalf, but I did get it to directly bet on Polymarket for me

made a web 1.0 style 88x31 animated pixel art button :)

if you're my friend, consider including it on your site! (non-animated version also available)

I've decided to hire Claude until at least Maude Mode finishes

I like to web search random quotes from books or games or lyrics, and google's ai summary sometimes reacts in really funny ways by replying at face value. This quote is from dress up gf Rosabeth of Melfia from Dark Souls II

i dunno, you can use AI to make a react app or an atproto app, but i'm skeptical you can use it to make react or atproto yet– systems engineering is safe for the time being imo

AI jargon guide

context engineering -> string concatenation and munging
prompt engineering -> older name for context engineering
tools -> function calls
agent -> while loop with "tools"
workflow -> script that calls LLMs
MCP -> a lightweight scaffolding based on JSON-RPC by Anthropic

the abstractions we build on top of typing on a keyboard and painting are useful; the abstractions we build on top of string concatenation serve to add confusion and make people worse at AI, especially since there is a lot of prior art on string manipulation going unused
October 9, 2025 at 10:50 AM
so deciding whether to not concatenate the strings, or to concatenate the string and deciding how to store strings that you plan to concatenate again?

"system prompts" and "tool calls" are also string concatenation under the hood (and using them often makes performance worse vs assistant prefill)

describe some specific activities that you consider 'context engineering'
October 9, 2025 at 10:01 AM
an agent pursues a goal on behalf of a principal, these are LLM programs misusing borrowed terms from computer science and economics literature for hype

it's like how it's called "context engineering" instead of "string concatenation"

i'll probably catch some flak for this, but utility bills have gotten so out of control that i've started turning off the burners on my stovetop before i leave the house. it saves a lot of money! i don't need them to be on when i'm not there! i don't know what else to tell you
