“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

I didn't realize how bad GitHub has become. The future of AI driven software development and bots is here and we can see how reliable is everything from this site. 😂

Days Without GitHub Incident

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
"Something happened a month ago, and the world switched. Now we have real reports." It's not just Linux, he continued. "All open source projects have real reports that are made with AI, but they're good, and they're real."

AI bug reports went from junk to legit overnight, says Linux kernel czar

Interview: Greg Kroah-Hartman can't explain the inflection point, but it's not slowing down or going away

First malfunction on the Framework 16; the 3.5mm audio expansion card. Don't even really use it but started noticing brief lockups which I thought was related to wifi. Checked the logs and USB flapping errors, ordered a new one, submitted a support request and will crack the old one open once the new one is confirmed working. I suspect it's something as simple as a solder defect. The good, I'd need a new mainboard from any other manufacturer, the bad, well, I guess there is no real bad just yet as I wasn't using it but I guess if I had to I'd probably just fix the one I have here. The new one did cost a total of $30.49 USD so there's that and the time lost in ordering and lodging a support case (primarily because I wasn't sure if it was batch related). #framework16
Well, Gemini 3 just called using GtkDrawingArea dumb and recommended it write a widget called GpuGraph... fam, the code is pretty good. It used GTK Scene Graph bypassing the raster layer sending vector instructions directly to the gpu using gsk nodes. That's actually very fucking impressive! I need to sleep.

Week 9, 44 to go. Might we get one week, just one, that doesn't have some form of major chaos or existential calamity floating in my timeline? War with Iran in 2026 is inane no matter which way you are looking at the issue, there is nothing to gain and a lot to lose. So we have:

1. ICE running around rampant untrained and uncontrolled like regular police.
2. Further attacks on civil liberties.
3. "Age Verification" Laws that require chucking the 4th amendment out the window.
4. Gaming platforms are dead.
5. Epstein.
6. School and politically motivated killings continue.
7. A President associated with a pedophile and found to be in his roster of acquaintances.
8. Rogue FBI agents.
9. Mass layoffs.
10. Apple releasing a budget laptop.
11. Internet enshittification is in hyperdrive.
12. AI hype is like a drug.
13. We're finding out kids can't read or write or pay attention for more than 30 seconds at a time and by kids I mean all the way to undergrad.
14. BAFTA invite a guy with Tourette's to their awards show and he does what's a guy with Tourette's will do and then no one apologizes to the gentlemen accosted and demeaned. They even keep the slur in the actual footage but edit out commentary on a Free Palestine.
15. The place known as Palestine is rubble and a real life famine and genocide are still going on.
16. Same thing is happening in Sudan.
17. Congo continues in shambles.
18. There is SLAVERY still going on in Lebanon and Yemen.
19. Cuba in a death spiral.
20. Haiti is even worse?!
21. Venezuela in a death spiral.

It's just like come onnnnn, I could list 100 things that have happened over the last 9 weeks and not a hint of real societal progress?! What are we doing?

Well it's done. So many hours gone. It's been the bane of my life for the last two weeks. So many broken branches! Hand carved from boxwood (bird and leaves) walnut (branches) and oak (scrolls).

The sad news is that after swapping out the C and V key cherry mx clear switches, I’ll be putting this board back together and will retire the ole girl. This keyboard has given me close to 14 years of use, 13 years for the one above it. They both still work fine but it’s time. Now that I’m sharing the office with my kids the cherry mx clears are too noisy, even if I add extra o-rings double stack style. Was tempted to just desolder the cherry mx clears and switch them to Durock Shrimp T1’s but for the sake of time and preserving nostalgia I’ll just buy a cheap board that has hotswap and I can use with QMK (no, wasdat will not work with these keyboards) . 😔 #wasdkeyboards #mechanicalkeyboard #qmk #cherrymxclear
