Having some cognitive dissonance b/w absurdity of much of General GenAI cheerleading (overselling) vs actually absurdly great functional value of agentic coding (Claude in particular) for specific kind of (not-vibe) use cases.
Both true, just seems... so disconnected.
Wow they won’t even have to spend money to rename things like we did with the Department of War
Donald Trump just became the first US Commander in Chief since 1991 to have three American fighter jets shot down by another country… and somehow, it wasn’t even an enemy.
Cool. Got accepted into Anthropic's 6 month free Max for OSS Authors program!
Trying out OpenAI's Codex -- seems legit, no big surprises/disappointments, wrt structured Java library bug fix / test repro use cases so far. Solid backup when running into Claude token limits? :-D
They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.
So some jerk called the police, who just beat up a disabled Rohingya refugee instead of trying to communicate with him and then charged *him*. He probably thought he was getting jumped since he couldn’t see or understand the cops.
He survived a genocide and ending up getting murdered by CBP.
If Trump's address tonight really is over two hours long, how many times will he doze off during his own speech?
yeah. So it has been on my radar FWTW.
but FWTW there are both concerns ("isn't this just strange over-complicated CSV variant?") and practical complications (how to actually represent TOOL as data model), so it'd be some effort, hence hesitation.
Yes (there's even PR contributed for it), but decided I'd want to see if TOON actually gets adoption before adding more code to support (just in case it turns out to be a fad) -- is there use beyond hype?
(I realize there's potential chicken/egg issue there)
I realized long ago that whenever one is unimpressed with a song, movie, TV show, performer, etc that everyone else seems to think is the GREATEST THING EVER, it's best to simply remain silent on the topic.
America 2026.
... specifically, 3 oldest `jackson-databind` issues solved 10+ years old.
and yes, it's somewhat of a Big Deal: first LTS for 3.x AND boatloads of fixes -- many bugs reported years (some decade...) ago.
Status: playing with Codex since it has some Gratis usage now. Nothing much to say yet, appears to work ok so far but only casual repo summarization etc
Jackson 3.1.0 LTS version (github.com/FasterXML/ja...) being released. HUGE "minor" release with over 140 (!) changes, mostly fixes. The first Long-Term Support version for Jackson 3.x; upgrade from 3.0.x strongly recommended. #java #json #xml #csv #cbor #smile etc #jackson
Also: Jackson 2.21.1 (another LTS -- Long-Term-Support) branch release) patch release out: github.com/FasterXML/ja... #java #json #jackson
Jackson 2.18.6 (LTS) patch release out: github.com/FasterXML/ja... #java #json #jackson
In October 2024, the Georgia secretary of state’s office launched an investigation after receiving numerous reports from residents across several counties saying they’d received partially prefilled absentee ballot applications from Musk’s America PAC. trib.al/n6hAZOC
Is it true that if they can arrest a Prince, we can arrest a guy from Queens?
I don't think there's any real legal incentive, but it'd be great if Prince Andrew decided to incriminate one of his co-conspirators now.
I have heard many like Gemini as well.
On token usage: for some reason, certain things seem way more (or less) token-hungry than others. Most analyses, even long-running ones, appear cheap. And mechanical transformations surprisingly expensive. With Claude that is. FWTW.
Ugh. Codex App does not support Intel Macs (my Mac mini not Apple silicon, bit old) :-(
Maybe Codex CLI is an option...
was thinking about it -- they have similar (~20$/month) plan I think? Might want to give it a try.
As I have mentioned a few times, I find Claude Code VERY good for development of OSS libraries. But now facing the usual token limits -- esp. with test refactoring -- with Pro. Going max bit too steep cost so thinking of complementary tools. I like agentic (CLI) approach. Any recommendations?

Mia Valentina Paz Faria A 7-year-old from Venezuela who was living in Austin, Texas Detained for 70 days “I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.”
UPDATE: Staff at the ICE concentration camp in Dilley, Texas have begun raiding the dormitories of kids and their parents to confiscate and destroy letters from the children. This is in response to the ace reporting by @micarosenberg et al for ProPublica:
“I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.”

Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children.

NEW: Easily one of the most important interviews I've done. This is bigger than the intel that led to Trump's first impeachment, and Tulsi Gabbard, Susie Wiles, & seemingly Trump himself are feverishly trying to cover it up. You can watch the interview here: www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-tulsi-...
