I’m on a tropical vacation surrounded by fig trees, and I just can’t help thinking what a stupid choice of underwear these things would be.

@mhalligan @nixCraft wow, thanks for the inside scoop!

When I saw my first ECLIPSE, two weeks ago, I was not prepared for how different it is from a lunar transit which does not entirely block the sun's surface. It should not be called "partial eclipse", but should have a truly different name like "partial lunar transit". The "orange disk with a bite taken out" is interesting, but not in the same league as a true eclipse (which is visible only via naked eye, because it's invisible through the eclipse glasses).

FRIENDS WHO CODE - What's your favorite AI Code Assistance tool, and why? I've used GPT4 a bunch, especially happily after the recent token-size expansion. I found Google Gemini embarrassed itself when I tried it a month ago. CoPilot wanted me to set up other stuff I didn't feel like installing. And I haven't tried Claude yet, though people have been telling me good things. I love being able to go directly from spec to shell script, or making requests like "propose the top 3 algorithms for XYZ".

An ever-valuable message. I found this photos from the pilot of my "DRAM" event series (which launched a month before the pandemic hit; my timing is terrible...). Normally I'm not an inspo fiend, but this reminder hit me at just the right time so I thought I'd share.
