Inviting the Aliens, by Paul Ford (Ftrain)
I’ve been vibe-coding proofs of concepts at work to help things along. I’ve never thought harder or more densely and to less effect.
I also have been vibe-coding a bunch of little utilites and whatnot. It can be exhilerating or exhausting, depending on…
mike: "Installing Linux on an old Thi…" - social.lol:
Installing Linux on an old Thinkpad is “middle aged dad decides to get fit by doing toe touches in his boxers” except you don’t get disgusted & give up. Instead you blog about how awesome it is until it’s not…

The thing that scares me about how good LLMs are getting, is that before long, everything is going to look good, and sound good. Everything will be well-written. The world is gonna be boring as hell.

I used Kevin's Boring Weather app instead of my janky shell script for annotating today's image. It's 90% of what I need. I might beg for the remaing 10%.
I'm a little ashamed to admit that I may have finally done it. I've been using Obsidian for…
