Waiting for an answer from a reasoning model is the new "Compiling!"
(Almost certainly not an original take!)

@gruber @benthompson Had to laugh at your exchange over the pronunciation of “Gemini” on Dithering today. Here in Japan, people actually do call it “Gem-eenie” due to the way Japanese vowel sounds are romanized.
(And it drives me crazy! 🙃)
rain 🌦️Got unreasonably excited about this new, incredibly straightforward count-distinct algorithm. The CVM algorithm is a direct replacement for HyperLogLog, it nerd-sniped Donald Knuth for weeks, *and* it can easily be taught in an entry-level CS course.

Ellie HuxtableFinally sharing what I’ve been building for almost a year now! 
Atuin Desktop: runbooks that run
It’s open source and in open beta now 🥰
Built for engineers who need repeatable, reliable workflows. No more copy-pasting from slack or outdated docs
@chockenberry At the moment I’m just “marking” them all, but that introduces additional cognitive overhead because I have to mentally recategorize each post in my Marked feed every time I scroll through it. It would be nice to split these into separate feeds, instead.
@chockenberry In Tapestry, is it possible to add a single post to a custom feed? I often find myself wanting to save posts that (a) are too long for me to read at the moment, (b) include media content that I want to watch / listen to later, or (c) I want to keep as “favorites”.
Julia Evansrelated to the Git cheat sheet I mentioned last week https://git-scm.com/cheat-sheet, I'm thinking of making some changes to the official Git glossary (https://git-scm.com/docs/gitglossary), to make it easier to look up what terms like "object" or "reference" mean in Git
I need some test readers to give feedback on the current glossary: sign up here if you're interested in giving feedback on this page or other Git documentation! https://forms.gle/LHZSRVWW7RfqmDsQ9
Also, cool as https://sosumi.ai/ is, I can’t get over the fact that the “haiku” at the bottom of the page doesn’t follow the 5-7-5 syllable rule. 😄
Seeing @gruber use 🤺 in Markdown as the label for a reference-style link to a page on fenced code blocks is just a fantastic little Easter egg: https://daringfireball.net/linked/2025/08/31/sosumi-ai.text
