It is, however, sad that eating tomatoes barely moves the needle for vitamin C intake. It's almost not worth it. So much food it totally useless.

(Fortunately, tomatoes are not that expensive, and are delicious.)

I really look forward to LLMs becoming more powerful. Currently they are starting to be useful, but they could be so much more useful, like, actually powerful.

Example query that appeared to be too ambitious for present-day LLMs (~Sonnet 4): "list the candidates of the current election, look up incumbent and past council members, look up their voting records, pairwise calculate same-vote overlap, and show a graph with clustering".

The context window still seems too small though, and the ability to summarize information is still too weak. For actual data-insight ideas, it still appears impossible to one-shot it.

Tasks in which I benefited from LLM use:

- planning/research for a sewing project
- investigation of the background of election candidates
- closing my browser tabs and summarizing into a note (for Obsidian)

I'm doing so much laundry... there will be another 7-day window in which I have someone over during 4+ days.

OTOH, it's so cheap… you're telling me that some kind of vaguely strategically-meaningful work in the EU costs no more than a few houses? 😂🚲

Things continue to happen very quickly, just like how they tend to feel [to me] around equinox times. Autumn mania.

and OTOH, it looks like there are the beginnings of a new little relationship sprouting, despite this being a season of harvest and fall. 🌱🍂

(This time around, she actually knows me on Twitter/bsky, and can read this. Hello, you! ❤️)

The feeling of the "life setback" earlier ( x.com/easoncxz/sta... ) is... a little bit alleviated. On one hand, my relationship with her seems to be strengthening, bsky.app/profile/easo...

I remember reading an old blog some years ago about the benefit of making oneself more replaceable at work, in a software context; not sure if it's this article, but it's a nice read and captures the idea: www.ousbey.com/blog/make-yo...
