Claude AI successfully ran a shop by itself! - Actually a vending machine - Actually a mini-fridge in our office - Actually it gave lots of discounts and free products on our slack - Actually it hallucinated a Venmo account and people sent payments to God-knows-who www.anthropic.com/research/pro...

I wish democrats would stand against Trump with the same energy and ferocity that they stood against Mamdani.

One good thing that could come of LLM-assisted programming is that architecting a codebase to be LLM-friendly is probably a good thing, even if an LLM never touches it.

The really fascinating thing about start wars is that they have sentient, self-aware, empathetic bots and humans couldn’t care less for them.

Codes C for a day: “Wow, forgot how fun lower level prog can be. Need a callback? Pss.. pass a reference. Need an event? Psss… while(true)” Codes in C for a two weeks: Forgets to edit the header file for the thousandth time, violently closes the notebook and goes for a walk rethinking life choices.

Building my second FatBee, a compact mechanical keyboard that’s ergonomic without making you relearn how to type. github.com/cassiozen/Fa...

Zoom, hangouts, teams… can someone please make a “daily” features where it randomly selects who talks when?

Before Ladybird I completely bought the argument that nobody could make a new browser from scratch nowadays. I went from skeptical to interested to believer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YM7...

Hahaha. No.

How did you fix that bug? - You know, son, through the years you develop this advanced sense of... - Was there an error showing on the console, and you just Googled it? - Sight. Yes, that's exactly it.

@danabra.mov should start a gofundme to buy Chrome.

Perplexity, OpenAI and (checks notes again) Yahoo want to buy Chrome. Chrome potential buyers are amazing. What could possibly go wrong?

Found a bug and opened a PR on my first week on a new job. People started to get impressed, so I had to lay the law of the land: "It's the ADHD journey: Week 1, everybody thinks you're a genius. By week 3, everybody is SURE you're NOT."

Just received the first batch of complete Core 2 Duos! We're still working on finishing drivers for all peripherals in PebbleOS. But it's wonderful to see it working, connected to my phone over Bluetooth, downloading watchfaces, etc!

Got tired of my Oh-my-ZSH setup with features I never used. Decided to build my own dotfiles dependency-free, but with all the Git & ZShell functionality I actually need on my Mac: github.com/cassiozen/do...

Cool new Git features: (I've been using Git for 15+ years, but never stopped to check cool new features - so by "new" I really mean "shit I personally didn't know about 😂"): • Histogram algorithm for better Diffs • Signing commits with SSH (Instead of GPG) • autoSetupRemote config • commit --fixup

It’S nOt a BuBbLe: First week April: “Deepseek throws a rock on BigTech’s plans” Second week: “OpenAI’s new move will put Claude out of business” Third week: “How Google AI went from catch up to catch us” I guess by next week we’ll get AGI?

Thinking of finally making the jump from 1Password to Apple Passwords. Any advice?

How to: Verified commits with SSH signing: 1. Reuse/create SSH key 2. Configure Git git config --global gpg.format ssh git config --global user.signingkey ~/.ssh/key.pub git config --global commit.gpgsign true 3. Add as "Signing key" in GitHub Settings → SSH/GPG Keys

My 6-year olds are reading to each other in bed. I know it might be an inconvenience but I need y'all to stay still. NOBODY MOVES!

It’s amazing how we got the web specifications evolution backwards: it’s 2025 and we now can fully customize a select. On Chrome canary… Maybe in a year it’s going to be on main release… Maybe in 3 years it’s going to be on Safari and Firefox…

Your outie can do a git rebase without “interactive”

In case you were wondering where AI currently is on the Gartner Hype Curve

I just won the www.deepbounty.ai contest ;)
