- strayI think it's funny that humans think humans are uniquely advanced. The brain thinks the brain is the most awesome machine in the universe :-)
- So, yaml with squiggles. Roger roger.
- I heard the Critical Drinker's voice while reading that.
- I lost the use of my right hand in '06.
It's amazing how quickly you adapt. I have to put my mouse to the left of my keyboard and whereas before I was a touch typist, I now have to look.
And I can use a standard keyboard without undue hassle.
- I get that a submarine can't swim.
I'm just not so sure of importance of the difference between swimming and whatever the word for how a submarine moves is.
If it looks like thinking and quacks like thinking...
- IBM Selectric II.
- You require something the bot won't have that a human would.
Anybody may watch the demo screen of an arcade game for free, but you have to insert a quarter to play — and you can have even greater access with a key.
> and you’ve explicitly left a sign saying ‘you are not welcome here’
And the sign said "Long-haired freaky people Need not apply" So I tucked my hair up under my hat And I went in to ask him why He said, "You look like a fine upstandin' young man I think you'll do" So I took off my hat and said, "Imagine that Huh, me workin' for you"
- Crank up the temperature on the AI and you'll see plenty of creativity.
With creativity comes insanity, though. At least for your friendly neighborhood LLM.
- Back of the napkin: 1 gigawatt would power roughly 1.43 billion 6502s.

- Oh, I had just deployed it the one time and left it running for a day.
Now I'm in the middle of trying to turn it into a real product so if anything is currently deployed to staging it may or may not be functional at all.
- Obvious advertising is obvious.
- Oh yeah! And if you Start a line with "! - [ ]" it'll make an action item with a checkbox -- and if you check the checkbox it'll mark that action item as complete.
Let me know what you think. It's kinda fun and potentially useful.
If I remember right -- yeah, at the end of an action item line, you can put @[email@address.com] to assign it to somebody -- and that assignment goes from the semi-markdown to the database and back. Iirc for example, it shows up on the assignee's dashboard and action items show up on the next week's retro as discussion items (marked complete if the assignee checked the checkbox during the week).
- I had never deployed it because I was building it just to prove to myself that I could.
Anyway, I just deployed to https://retrospectify-staging.fly.dev -- it's running in demo mode and you can login as teammate@example.com with any password.
Once logged in, make sure to Find the example retro I started, and see if it makes sense. Basically I built the app I wish I had for doing our weekly retro. And it uses a modified subset of markdown for creating/editing cards -- so if you start a line with :-), for example, it'll put that card in the What Went Well column.
And once you're on the "columns view" you can move cards -- and if someone else is using it they'll see your card move as you're moving it...
I had mostly forgotten about this thing... It's less bogus than I remembered.
- I did. Elixir with Ash Framework, backed by PostgreSQL. Claude Code did just fine -- but this was back in June before Claude got nerfed.
- If we got UBI, our landlords would just increase our rent by slightly more than the UBI payment...
- You're absolutely right! Unfortunately, the MAX replacement will have strict weekly limits on how many hours it can be flown fully loaded - and most airlines will hit the weekly limit after just a couple flights.
