I'm not picky (anymore), just prone to eating the exact same thing every day for months on end.

I'm mildly surprised that Johnson and Thune haven't simply adjourned Congress. It's not like the Senate needs to maintain pro forma sessions to prevent recess appointments, given that they're immediately confirming everyone anyway.

Just witnessed someone trying to fireb*mb Fletcher’s Ice Cream in NE. Saw a dude acting weird next to a parked car in front of the place. I walked by, heard a smash through my earbuds, smelled gasoline/kerosine. Turned around, snapped some photos instinctively. Thankfully they suck at molot*vs.

Today's Hallowmeme.

The "Salesman Slaps Roof Of Car" meme which shows a salesman using a car's storage cpacity as a selling point to a customer. The car is now the "Demeter" - the doomed ship from 'Dracula' - the salesman is now sporting some fine Victorian muttonchops with a pointy devil beard and the customer is clearly a vampire. After he *SLAPS SIDE OF SHIP* the salesman's pitch is "This bad boy can fit so many crates of earth in it."

Two books for spooky season:

THE TWISTED ONES, by T. Kingfisher: It lures you in with chatty good humor (especially about NPR Pledge Week) and a lovely dog...then slams the door and bites you in the dark.

"But when the team looked at the employees’ actual work output, they found that the developers had completed tasks 20% slower when using AI than when working without it. Researchers were stunned. “No one expected that outcome. We didn’t even really consider a slowdown as a possibility.”

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay

No more kings. Vimes had difficulty in articulating why this should be so, why the concept resonated in his very bones. After all, a good many of the patricians had been as bad as any king. But they were...sort of...bad on equal terms. What set Vimes's teeth on edge was the idea that kings were a different kind of human being. A higher lifeform. Somehow magical.

OpenAl Cofounder Builds New

Open Source LLM 'Nanochat' - and Doesn't Use Vibe Coding
/ EditorDavid 12 hours ago
An anonymous reader shared this report from Gizmodo: It's been over a year since OpenAl cofounder Andrej Karpathy exited the company. In the time since he's been gone, he coined and popularized the term "vibe coding" to describe the practice of farming out coding projects to Al tools. But earlier this week, when he released his own open source model called nanochat, he admitted that he wrote the whole thing by hand, vibes be damned.
Nanochat, according to Karpathy, is a minimal, from scratch, full-stack training/inference pipeline" that is designed to let anyone build a large language model with a ChatGPT-style chatbot interface in a matter of hours and for as little as $100. Karpathy said the project contains about 8,000 lines of "quite clean code," which he wrote by hand - not necessarily by choice, but because he found Al tools couldn't do what he needed.
"It's basically entirely hand-written (with tab autocomplete)," he wrote. "I tried to use claude/codex agents a few times but they just didn't work well enough at all and net unhelpful."
