Having a very normal evening, using Claude to count dog poop bags with OpenCV.

Interestingly, neither ChatGPT nor Claude could one-shot this. The error was really significant, like 20% off at least. I'm walking it through step by step and it's still not quite there.

This is very frightening.
My spouse pulled data from the CDC’s MMWR team on a weekly basis for her company to include with public health reports. That entire team has just been RIFed by Trump.

On the train home this evening, a guy offered to give me half of his torta. When I declined, he turned to a couple and offered it to them. Turns out they were deaf and signed to each other, seeming unsure what was going on.

Dude immediately signs back, spelling out "TORTA".
