I eat salads without dressing like a God damn rabbit.

What's a website that makes you feel physically ill? For me, it's LinkedIn. What a clusterfuck. It also makes me very depressed.

That feeling when it takes you a couple of hours to solve an easy LeetCode problem and then you find out your solution is the naive, unoptimized one. Sigh. I'm never going to get hired.

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people: 18f.org

I cancelled my Prime membership. Fuck these billionaires.

OpenAI right now

Let me pull down deepseek-v3 into ollama to see if I can run this thing locally. >ollama run deepseek-v3 >sees the model is 404 GB >panic Ctrl-C's Nope, that's not happening.

It feels like we're living in the Twilight Zone, and the new administration has only been in office for two full days. This is going to be four long years.

I need to tell somebody, so I might as well redirect this to the /dev/null that is my Bluesky followers: I fucking love the glove80. This keyboard has singlehandedly changed my life. I'm not even kidding. No more hand pain; I type more efficiently than ever. I love this thing.

Unemployment life: making my own emo Christmas music playlist.

I ate two apples today, so doctors better watch out.

This post is fucking incredible, this is exactly what you are supposed to do with computers robertheaton.com/pyskywifi/

My Bluesky posts summarized: useless things I want to send to my wife during the workday to which she'd probably respond, "Why are you bothering me at work with this random crap?" For instance: it's funny how life works - woke up with new back pain but my days-long wrist pain is finally better.

Sometimes, I'm afraid ChatGPT will reply to my huge prompts with "I ain't reading all that. I'm happy for you, though. Or sorry that happened." #AI
