When I read “oh! the places you’ll go” I didn’t ever imagine that would include an underground robot boxing match, where a pair of people attempt to play rock em sock em robots with 4 foot tall unitree bipeds.

One issue with LLM’s is that when working on a complex problem with a complex API (unreal camera streaming in this case) they can lead you down the wrong path, they are so “helpful”, when a google search might have found a real chunk of working sample code 1/2

Talking to my kid about space and I mentioned that Voyager was the furthest object from the earth, and looked it up Voyager I is currently 23 light hours and 30 light minutes away, turns out exactly 1 year from now it will be 1 light day away, going 1/2 a light hour a year.

Every week Jews read a section of the Old Testament, this week was the destruction of Sodom, the religious right focuses on the sexual part of the story, but the city was destroyed for being inhospitable to foreigners. If you’re looking for the real sodomities this week, it’s ICE, Trump and the GOP.

Reading Mamdani's victory speech and... it's really good. Obama-level good. Maybe better.

Wound up chatting tonight with an DC based EPA lawyer visiting for the weekend, lived through Trump 1.0, said administration switches used to be interesting/fun at the EPA and the DOJ since you could understand where the politics ended, but now there was just destruction.

Despite whatever the new Trump-friendly leadership at CBS News is doing, 60 Minutes had a chilling, revelatory story on a top Dept. of Justice lawyer who says he was fired for refusing to support DOJ attorneys lying to judges in deportation cases. WATCH: https://loom.ly/VjKaJPk

Give me the thin blue line flag but make it extra racist.
Holy shit. This is Angelo Elia, a legislative correspondent for Congressman Dave Taylor.
According to @rooster.info, during a Zoom meeting today, he had an American nazi flag displayed in the background.

Sure vibe coding can make you super productive… but I just spent multiple hours porting my current project to windows so I could use the visual studio debugger. VSC on unbuntu’s C++ debugger is out classed by visual studio 6.0 (which shipped in 1998) it’s really a travesty how bad Linux gdb is.

Effectively the government is seeking to use red state national guards to attack blue states. This is some fucked up civil war shit.
