Awesome but also if I squint it looks like almost half acronyms 😂

Be stoned and fear everything

I also use home assistant (of course), frigate for cameras, audiobookshelf for podcasts and audiobooks (routed through pangolin so I can use plappa on my phone), and thinking about getting a paperless-ngx / etc. setup for managing documents.

oh hello yes I am audience

Something relatively light and familiar works for me usually. The Good Place?

The AI Vampire This was an unusually hard post to write, because it flies in the face of everything else going on.

Go developer survey 2025 showing ages of respondents. 9% are 18 to 24, 35% are 25 to 34, 33% are 35 to 44, 16% are 45 to 54, 5% are 55 to 64, 1% are 65 to 74, 0% are 75+, 1% prefer not to say

There's all sorts of fun stuff in there, though I was immediately turned to dust by this graph, as I'm approaching an age cliff

it's never too late to start time traveling

Incredible art of gritty playing fiddle on the roof of a west Philadelphia row home. In Yiddish it says Fidler Oyfn Fakh פֿידלער אױפֿן דאַך)

We put on an all-Yiddish community production of fiddler on the roof in Philadelphia and cast member and local artist Sofie Rose Seymour created the most amazing show poster that ever was

I learned that my name is mentioned in the Epstein emails because he ordered a copy of my book on Amazon, who emailed a receipt.

I’ve decided to donate the full retail cost (and then some) of that copy to a local charity for survivors of abuse.

Somehow Apple charges less for RAM than many workstation manufacturers 😂

Oh can’t wait. I see you might be discussing some things I helped get into rust-openssl. I’m sure only good things are said about OSSL_PARAM 😂

Starting new projects and finishing projects are entirely independent pursuits.

SORRY I CAN’T HEAR YOU OVER THE SOUND OF ALL THIS DUMB SHIT WITH AI

I think this is the beginning of Snowpiercer

Has some Owl House vibes

Same. My ubiquiti stuff and my NAS are beasts that are hard to downsize.

My rack is “short depth” and still is like 70% empty space

Part of me wishes I could consolidate my half rack into mini racks.

Decorating Cents hosts ruining a perfectly fine green dollhouse by inexplicably turning it into coffee table.

But as I’ve learned from watching the 90s fashion dumpster fire, Decorating Cents, you could turn the dollhouse into a lovely table.

The Prime Rib Directive

Bucket list item achieved: I designed a PCB and sent it off to be manufactured.

Another bucket list item should be if it works or not when it comes back 😂

I think the current approach to LLMs of just throwing more energy at them until they seem better is irresponsible. What if we could reshape the solution space (in this case, programming language) instead?

I think that is an interesting thing to investigate at least.

It’s more that people do use the LLMs, and I think it would be interesting to investigate programming languages from that perspective. What if changing something about programming languages makes LLMs more effective or say, more energy efficient? Won’t know unless we look.

Autoland Saves King Air, Everyone Reported Safe - AvBrief.com Aircraft landed safely at Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport near Denver on Saturday afternoon.

In rather excellent news, we're now at the point where a light aircraft can detect its pilot being incapacitated and successfully land and then shut the engines off fully automatically. My hat is off to the Garmin engineers who built this system.

I think a simpler language could be faster to compile and end up faster than C if done right, like FORTRAN.

A question: what are your goals for the language?

If I were designing a language in 2025, I’d probably design a language with the goals of: easy for the compiler to optimize, easy for an LLM to work with (less complex syntax and maybe fewer features? Not sure), and maybe easy parallelism?

TODAY IS THE LAST DAY!

Fellow procrastinators, this is your time to shine! And if you needed a sign that PyCon US would be better with you and your ideas, this is it:)

I agree that it is not okay but perhaps necessary.

I did see that. It rings a little hollow tbh, like when people try to justify supporting HP content by saying they’ll just not directly give money to JKR. Or eating at Chick-fil-A sometimes.

And look, I’m not perfect. There’s no winning.
