”Nothing wrong with being 40, unless you're acting 20.”

Hello from Berlin where a few hundred Americans are outside the embassy, currently reading aloud from the Declaration of Independence. #nokings

An administration that pardon’s people who assault police officers doesn’t quite have the moral high ground to talk about “law and order” that they think they do…

If you are going to go out on Saturday - remember. Do not say ANYTHING to authorities except "am I being detained" and/or "am I free to go" If you are free to go, walk away calmly. Everything you say can be used against you so say NOTHING.

My favorite part of printers nowadays is how they don’t print

Us millennials now…

Setting up my potiz

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

Speed runs be like

"I didn't vote for this!" You, in fact, did vote for this. This was not only foreseeable, but foreseen. You were too proud to listen to anyone on the left.

"let copilot help you draft" "can gemini write that for you" I have now taken the only reasonable course of action in the circumstances

Incredible. Just incredible. The @kilocode.ai community has shocked me yet again as the love for Claude 4 has propelled us into the top 3 in OpenRouter And we’re just getting started - next week we will show autocomplete AND quick in-file promoting…what a ride

This is real I'm giving the money Let's all build something TODAY

App idea: Geoguesser but it’s just pictures different Hudson Bookseller shops in airports

That’s because it’s true

And that's okay! Good, even.

How reliable are LLMs at extracting data from pdfs? Inspired by @simonwillison.net's PyCon talk, I added extracting FEMA's daily operation briefing to my LLM evals suite. Just one model extracted the data from the pdf correctly: Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview. Full results -> kschaul.com/llm-evals/ev...

For years my favorite Black Mirror episode was San Junipero. But Paul Giamatti in "Eulogy" may have been some of his AND Charlie Brooker's best work.

We have a term 'groceries.' It's an old term but it means basically what you're buying, food, it's a pretty accurate term but it's an old fashioned sound

I made this game in ONE SHOT with Claude 3.7. Can you beat my high score? brendan.fyi/space

Me to me when I remember I used to think Tailwind was a bad idea

I am going to do a BIG AI meetup in New York, I'm going to @vercel.com Ship in June and want to bring some value with me. I am thinking to make it a meetup with 5 speakers. Who should I bring with me? Any recommendations? Either they live in NYC OR they are coming for Vercel Ship!

Please don't put in the newspaper that 28 children laughed at me

my cables will not be "managed" I love all cables equally. each is empowered to roam freely in pursuit of self-directed goals, articulating a personality of its own. that's not a tangle, it's a statement. cable management is a tool of the oppressor.
