I’ll take it.

I use LLM-type AI every day as a software developer. It’s incredibly helpful in many contexts, but you have to understand what it’s designed to do and what its limitations are.

I went back and forth with Claude and ChatGPT today about its logic being incorrect and it telling me “You’re right,” then outputting the same/similar erroneous code it output before, until I needed to just slow down and fix some fundamental issues with its output myself. It’s certainly a force multiplier, but not at any kind of scale without guidance.

I’m not convinced AI, in its current incarnation, can be used to write code at a reasonable scale without human intervention. Though I hope we get there so I can retire.

Shut the fuck up, Donny.

Yeah, I think if you’re familiar enough with Plex, it’s not a huge deal. But I did find myself annoyed at how much more difficult it’s going to be to onboard all my friends who use my server and get the update (as well as new people).

I just tried the TestFlight preview. The main page was full of junk when I first loaded it, but I went to the library tab and set my personal libraries in the order I want and my main page is back to normal.

My parents and their endless bigotry.

Yeah, I’m in the “you guys” zone and I say y’all, it’s always better received.

There really aren’t enough novels about aimless, gay werewolves called Brian… ― Sunday Times, Books to Watch in 2023

My expectations have been exceeded.

What book is this?

It’s a trip seeing them around. Somehow they look even worse in person.

Those birds are crazy. My dad and I painted our neighbor’s house one summer when I was a kid, and at the end of each day I’d call her name out and let her know the status. After we finished, her African Grey would call her name in my voice every day so well that she thought we were still there.

My daily carry bag always includes my Kindle, my cribbage board, and dog treats.

I don’t even like working.

Even got the zoom-out effect. If you’re nearsighted, totally accurate.

Ugh please not GMM.

I know I’m a drop in the bucket but I have always been a diehard Google fanboy and, in the recent years, have switched to iOS, Firefox, and DuckDuckGo. No regrets.

Instagram has been getting me with this. I like to post sometimes, but my friends and I recently compared our screen time stats and I couldn’t believe I was regularly wasting hours a day mindlessly scrolling IG. I uninstalled the app and will just occasionally post from my computer.
