I think I'm now comfortable calling it superintelligence -- claude just successfully walked me through setting up my neighbor's random inkjet photo printer under linux. and I didn't even have to touch CUPS??!!

sometimes the chickens make their "hark, an unidentified flying object!" noises and it's actually just a stale tortilla that i chucked to them like a frisbee

www.codetriage.com is a very nifty idea if you're into that kind of thing -- get emails to find out about OSS issues you could help with! (posting because it turns out i am not into that kind of thing at the moment but i still like the idea)

in claude's defense, SVG is hard.

huh, looks like I set a default main branch name on the old laptop, because I'd forgotten that Git does this. Nicely handled, git.

TIL that chatgpt flat-out won't draw clothes if you so much as hint that you're looking for fashion illustrations. But, if you manage to con a picture of clothes out of it, the reply comes with "here's a fashion illustration"....

First crocus of spring! The anthers look a softer yellow in daylight than on my phone camera, but it nails the vividness of the stigma's orange.

harvesting water chestnuts is simultaneously so gross and so satisfying. It's amazing how a single year underwater turned clay topsoil into anaerobic sludge... but the plant loved it and that's what matters!

there's few enough people around here that it's probably safe to share a secret: i impulse bought these at winco yesterday expecting them to taste like cardboard because they're huge, but they taste like actual real strawberries! no cardboard-flavored ones in the whole container.

@andersonaddo.bsky.social i tried asking for a heatmap of areas that are X hours from airport A and Y hours from airport B and also it is sad. It's probably just getting the HN hug, but maybe it's also wildly out of the design tolerances to use it on the scale of distances measured in hours by car?

The "VIP unreads" thing in slack shows a "VIP" badge next to the people whose pings you ask it to place in that category. Expect some hilarious awkwardness in screen sharing before people realize the implications of this.

If you routinely encounter frogs that need to be eaten, maybe get a pet chicken to and delegate instead of trying to do everything yourself?

kinda nifty, how "pass it through a flame" is such an ancient sterilization method, but it's gradually been superseded by the widespread availability of copious amounts of incredibly clean water

from a supply chain integrity perspective, it seems like "house brand" household products actually have an advantage over name brands -- far less lucrative for anyone to bother trying to put fakes into the supply chain?

turns out the recommended tools for updating openbci ganglion firmware just plain don't work on android at the moment -- mysterious errors for me, but tried it on a friend's iphone and it worked fine. yay.

whoa. just realized I can ramble at claude for several minutes about a complex dependency graph, and ask it to emit a graphviz DOT file, and it just works!

free pattern time because i've finally figured out how to put a hood on the bog coat (pictured), which results in an extremely cozy bathrobe when constructed from the kind of large fuzzy blanket that's cheap at many stores this time of year.
