You can buy my story "Lena" in ebook, paperback and hardcover here: www.amazon.com/dp/B0BL24DFMW

Unfortunately for AI, humans have a billion year head start on learning how to learn

holy shit Deno is getting built-in open telemetry support (metrics, logs, and traces)? www.youtube.com/watch?v=RM1j...

trying to setup a k3s cluster and got burned out cause setting up debian bookworm takes so much time compared to ubuntu server. This is what i get for trying something new.

watching a video and they hit something so hard on the head. A.I is the end game of the "no effort" movement. It's been cool to be "low effort" since like 2015 and what is lower effort than getting a bot to do it all for ya.

WikiTok. Is what it sounds like. Pretty cool! wikitok.vercel.app

another good album from teenage punk/rock days recovered: open.spotify.com/album/0CA2EV...

have been working in office all week. I miss making my little cappucinos at home. looking forward to it tomorrow a.m.

Garbage collection is data cruelty

I hate that every time I look at a piece of art I find myself looking for signs of AI. I have to wonder if a human spent years building their skills and days or hours on the piece itself, or if some manager somewhere shit it out after starting at a loading spinner for 30 seconds.

is there a typographical term for wonky diffusion text? slop serif?

started organizing my mtg cards and I regret starting to organize my mtg cards. This was a bigger task than I though it would be and now I can't stop.

I have a brilliant plan, all I need is: - the copyright to everything - all the money in the world

full nerd status over here right now. Building `ffmpeg` from source because I have skill issues and can't find an up-to-date built package anywhere online.

If you're going to require MFA please, please, PLEASE allow proper TOTP or Passkeys. OTP-over-email or OTP-over-sms it is frustratingly slow. It breaks my focus and it has genuinely ruined the positive vibes I have about certain applications.

I have had the great fortune to eat many extraordinary meals at many extraordinary venues, but I honestly cannot recall a single dish which was improved by the addition of truffles.

pocketbase.io and astro.build are a match made in heaven for holiday projects. so easy to build with.

What does it mean for something to be Turing complete? I answer this question, and more, through a series of fully interactive Turing machine simulations! Play, pause, step forwards and backwards, and even write your own Turing machine programs in my latest blog post. samwho.dev/turing-machi...

I recommend no fewer than 4 copies of any beloved book. A paperback for traveling and lending to friends, an eBook for reading with greasy snack fingers, an audio book so you know how the characters' names are actually pronounced, and a pristine hardcover to be buried with you like a pharaoh

Friendly and obvious-in-retrospect reminder that a 30g pour over has way more caffeine content than an 18g double-shot espresso. Sincerely, a man with caffeine induced anxiety and a shaky leg.

just played guitar hero for the first time since I was an expert-only guitar hero addict and I am deeply disappointed in my hand eye co-ordination and rhythm.

i need an ada lovelace lego set that comes with a working analytical engine

Found a lil hack for debugging containers that won't stay up long enough for you to properly debug them. Wrote it up for the blog ✍️ mykal.codes/posts/debugg...

Chapter 2 of Hyperion is one of the worst cases of woman written by a man I've ever experienced. Insanely cringe.
