I'm too classy to use Claude-Opus-4-impersonating-Dickens for a real title, but not too classy to try it as clickbait: check out my new blog post: The Particular History of a Most Peculiar Button, Being an Account of Machines and Their Proper Separation clutterstack.com/posts/2025-0...

I see LLMs continue the tradition of Hemingway as a paragon of concise, active prose. They've internalised it so well that "rewrite this as Hemingway" feels on the verge of usefulness as a way of untwisting an overwrought draft, without painstakingly crafting prompts.

'Things like “requiring Consul” are probably part of the reason Litestream is so much more popular than LiteFS.' 🔥 Love to see Litestream get the TLC it deserves! I still ❤️ SQLite too.

Thanks to Claude Desktop and tidewave.ai, I can now get a real taste of vibe coding on a cheapo plan. I definitely 10xed my record speed to reach "I don't know what it has in it and it doesn't compile". (I know how to drive an LLM better than that; you have to have some fun with a new toy though)

Hello folks. Jim Cuddy here. Due to our troubles with our neighbours in The States, I was inspired to write a little song. It’s called “We Used to Be the Best of Friends”. youtu.be/b5jgJZWG7aY?... #USA #Canada #Tarrifs

What should confound them is that it's EVIL! Annexing Canada is EVIL! Introducing this completely foreign idea from within his degenerate brain is EVIL! Humoring it is EVIL! Weighing its pros and cons is EVIL! Weighing its fucking electoral impact is EVIL! THREATENING OTHER COUNTRIES IS EVIL! God!

Use an LLM tool for autocomplete and you're supervising it. Use it to write a script and you can run that for deterministic results. Accidentally provoke Claude to barf up 1000 lines of new independent API client functions and docs. What do? www.clutterstack.com/posts/2025-0...

“We will never, ever make this mistake any more. On the steering wheel, we will have physical buttons. Honestly, it's a car. It's not a phone: it's a car.” Volkswagen reintroducing physical controls for vital functions. A good start back to sanity.

Momentarily (if several minutes is a moment) confused by the new asdf release being an 11MB executable. "version 0.16.0 is a complete rewrite of asdf in Go"; "breaking changes" But it'll get rid of that "Unknown command: `asdf completion zsh`" in every new shell rite? asdf-vm.com/guide/upgrad...

I also forked the Earmark Markdown parser so I can have description lists in my posts. Description lists are weird. HTML lists are weird. HTML is weird.

(This year will make 20 years I've used TiddlyWiki at some level of activity or other. Opened up an old single-file TW the other day to look up something in my notes --still works exactly the same as in 2012)

Top comment here makes a great intro to @tiddlywiki.bsky.social "My go-to tool for projects like this has become TiddlyWiki, which, on its surface, is a quirky little wiki [...] entirely self-contained in a single HTML file." arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024...

Current state of Claude/my prompt skills: I can't get Claude to generate an svg for log-log graph paper. If I show it its own output, it tells me it's wrong but can't fix it. It can generate a Python script to generate the svg, though. I just had to flip the vertical spacing.

I tried RAG with Open WebUI and Ollama. Replacing my large flat collection of source code files with the single-file output of @simonwillison.net's files-to-prompt tool is letting Llama3.3 70b answer much more cluefully without me getting much more clueful about generating good embeddings, etc.

I actually really like Claude; as long as I don't abdicate responsibility for the big picture, it saves me time solving technical problems. If I get too lazy though, I can use it to much pointlessly through hours. Just like I can with Google, or a pencil and paper.

Vibe coding eh? I thought about posting for posterity when I felt the yolo creeping in today. The question was: when I have a regex to make fancier, is letting the LLMs at it the pro move or noob oof? Suffice it to say the test/paste-errors/test cycle did not serve me well this time. :D

I realize now that I have a “trade deficit” with the store across the street. I walked over and bought a jug of milk. The store is abusing me and I’m tired of subsidizing it by buying something at a fair price that I want. I’m going to apply a tariff that will raise the future price of milk for me.
