This poor Ovenbird hit one of our large bay windows chasing down lunch, passed out right after in the extreme heat. Cooled it down and gave it some water, took it inside for the night, early this morning was expecting the worse but as soon as I opened the shoebox it was like a brand new bird! Later on in the day while checking some flowers I planted, it flew right in front of me with some sort of insect in its mouth.. looked at me, fluttered a bit and flew off. #ovenbird

For humans that may come across this. One of the most important jobs anywhere on the planet is a Librarian. Now, more than ever we need to protect them and prevent them from joining tech orgs. If you aren’t already become friends with your local librarian especially those senior in their roles. They speak the Sumerian of search and can lead you to knowledge. They are the super search function you’ve ignored this entire time, promise you, if it can’t be found by a librarian it doesn’t exist above ground. #libraries #librarians #librariansofmastodon #knowledge

“I had to write the fix by hand” — Claude agent. #ai #nonsense

Perfect hike weather makes for exceptionally stunning views! #geneseefalls

“Hemispheres stay sane only with structured outputs and a non-llm reducer”. — cursor agent. I’ve been deep in the research around “AI” or LLM’s and trying my best to figure out where it applies in critical workflows and processes. The fact that the larger public still sees it as intelligence at all is a testament to the marketing. Especially because nothing novel that couldn’t have been done through sheer repetition has been invented. Still the split brain problem intrigues me, because the research around it seemingly only considers it a binary problem. In reality a split brain is objectively a split brain but for an agent with multiple context sources that may contradict themselves, it’s more than just 2 hemispheres. Imagine one side of your brain says the sky is blue and the other says it’s orange, now add 6-7 more different context sources and you need a categorical system to choose a “winner”. Except those 6-7 sources could be just as right as the next source depending on almost an infinite number of facets. Without intelligence itself sanity is not achievable alone. Excited to see the math behind whatever solves this problem #generativeAI

Been extremely busy, not enough hours for all the things, behind on all things opensource/free software/framework/email/etc. I did do one thing I want to talk about. Took the quad lock case off my phone as I haven't been riding the motorcycle lately and I can confirm, going bareback, no case... Worth it, totally freeing and it feels so good. It's like it's a different phone! #nocase #freecasing
