I own way too many clicky keyboards. I love relaxing in hammock chairs and I have deeply obscure Simpsons references for every situation.

These tents were my work... I set up a camp for those who lost their homes, myself included.
I'm still working on setting up more tents.

“Bureaucracy is not an excuse for mistreating others” 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯

I was a bit unprofessional today. I asked the host of a meeting to mute the zoom participants, then I addressed the two staff present in-person about their insistence on using a student’s dead name. One staffer used the excuse that the name is in the official paperwork. I called it an excuse and reminded them both that this is a human being. I might not be called back to interpret more of those meetings, but I couldn’t bear keep hearing them treat the student like that. Bureaucracy is not an excuse for mistreating others.

After over a year of being annoyed that my Apple TV remote hasn’t been able to control my TV volume I finally dug into it tonight and was able to fix it.

By rebooting the remote.

Which means my remote probably had the highest uptime of any of the devices in my house until tonight.

If there was one place in Tahoe where it would have made sense to put menu icons, it would have been in this context menu when you right-click the Music app's dock icon.

I'm officially in dad joke territory. Was at the doctor's office and one of the staff members was confirming my date of birth and I added "it's coming right up if you wanted to get me something"

Okay, on the bright side: I think these devices can be jailbroken and turned into TRMNL devices

the biggest "this is so stupid I can't believe it works" kind of thing are the prompts that code review tools feed into the AI.

The prompts literally instruct the LLM to role play like a series of different personas, each looking for different things in the code.

The stupidest thing is that these prompts actually work! The LLMs give better feedback this way.

I'm impressed with the kinds of things we can get this generation of LLMs to do but it's so weird that all these new modes of operation just involve stacking on more natural language prompt text.

As a software developer I'd expect there to be some kind of lower-level API that you'd use to direct the model's behavior but doesn't work like that; it's just one big black box of LLM and we're just trying to carefully construct a premise in which it will respond with the right thing.
