I dabble. Quite a lot.
If your personality/architecture isn't "wild and chaotic", are you even trying??

Opals. This year they seem a little mealy but most years they’re just spectacular. Unique flavor slightly floral but very apple-y. Tangos are great as are Kanzi both sweeter but tangy and flavorful.

Still trying to find someone who grows Bramleys in the PNW to be able to make proper baked goods.

A blockade is an act of war. He already *did* launch an illegal war of aggression.

A blockade is an act of war. We are at war.

What if you do it one param weight at a time, Ship of Theseus-style?

I only ever use codex as an MCP server from Claude to do a pre-final double check on Claude’s work.

I had to write a whole MCP proxy server to fix terrible MCP servers that have bad prompts and output garbage that needs stripping.

And yet so oddly many MCPs just spew out huge volumes of fluff tokens rather than optimizing for delivering content to LLMs. So often they just put an MCP layer on top of some existing cli layer for humans rather than think about the consumer and what it does and doesn’t need.

...if only MLX models *ever* had correct metadata (basically they almost never have things like correct prompt templates for the model, accurate parameters from the GGUF, etc, etc, etc). I'm always excited by how much faster they are to run, but then switch back to the slower GGUF for correctness.

Also 2 months after you get locked in, insurance is allowed to unilaterally change its coverage and stop covering that provider that you specifically chose them to cover. So they can basically lie to you while you’re “shopping”.
