I step away for 3 hours to play D&D, and Trump and Elon are fighting?

I think one thing to remember as well when reading blog posts about AI on company blogs: who invests in that company.

I completely forgot that apple has it's own built in one 🤦‍♂️ - guess that says a lot about how much they mention it. Setting it up now, thanks @florian.beer

3D printed a balisong knife as a fidget toy and it's addictive, just can't take it out of the house.

What's a good mac desktop podcast app that'll actually tell me when there's new episodes? Spotify doesn't highlight new episodes consistently and it's a annoying.

Liam's twitter was a rare light in the darkness over there, he was consistently and loudly fighting for causes that most celebrities were too scared to touch with a bargepole for fear of reprisal or professional backlash. 10/10 good lad.

Also, all this talk about LLMs for code and AI/ML - and the main thing i'm excited for it's PRIMARY use is translation. If i can buy a $50 AI pin and go to any country, and understand / speak the language fluently, that is SUPER exciting for me.

"They're ultimately going to let you do more of what you love and less of what you hate." This is ultimately what i'm going to try and get out of LLMs - not "doing the work for me", but automating away chunks of tedious things that can be machine-read and done easily.

My body is ready. A week off work. Two days at an awesome conf with awesome people. Hanging with some friends I hardly ever get to see the day after. A date night in London with my GF for her birthday on the friday. 🤞 the weather is okay!

Why are conservatives so TERRIFIED of gay people. Like to the bone afraid? This is next level pathetic. The people running the US are the thick fucks who bullied people in school because their dads beat them.

Sneezed violently, without warning, and instinctively aimed my head sideways away from my desk. Sneeze twice, open my eyes, and notice i've been sneezing directly on the dog, and he's just staring at me like "bro, really?"

I’ve read this twice already, and it has so many quotable parts, but most importantly, in a world consumed by AI slop and money driven hype, it’s gives me some hope that the industry and craft I love will continue to exist. robbowen.digital/wrote-about/...

Honestly, let them keep saying shit like this so all the people who use "woke" in sentences keep moving there.

It has taken me 6 hours to listen to a 39 minute podcast, that's how many meetings i've had today.

The amount of energy they must have to burst from the surface like that blows my mind.

Couldn't sleep last night, so instead, I got Vue3 components rendering inside our Svelte 4 Inertia/Laravel app using a wrapper component, should hopefully make migration a little easier.

Trying out the moduler Inertia structure this week, hoping we can use this to clean up our codebase a bunch.

Photobucket have been emailing me every few days or so with "URGENT your account will be DELETED" for so long that it feels like the worst kidnapping attempt in history. Do it, i dare you, do it.
