I wish the software I write was that simple. Those were the days, lemme tell ya lol

Yeah, even aggregating the requests with OoenAI’s gpt-4.1-mini, it’s definitely struggling to work well.

This mostly being driven by pressure at work to use more AI. Needless to say I dislike the AI push. It’s inorganic and such a waste of effort for many of the things we do..

Attempting to be “hip” with AI and at least be better at using it. I have been attempting to use PicoClaw which is for having a local agent who can do stuff on your system.. it’s going painfully bad. Can’t even accurately port a Python script to Cpp 🫩

The weird thing about people saying you can’t tax wealth obviously forget that many Americans are already taxed on wealth when they pay property taxes. They don’t realize the value on their home until they sell it. Yet property tax doesn’t stop home equity loans to improve your investment.

A picture of a screen with a window showing a 3D rendering of a printer circuit board. The board is this and long with a USB Type C connector on the left side and three pads on the right. Various components like a microcontroller, capacitors, resistors, diodes, and a USB power deliver controller are neatly placed on the board.

Trying to find my way again. Here’s a little USB PD + RGB controller I’m working on.

They’re pushing AI tools where I work and I haven’t used the internal AI coding tools.. I’m trying to figure out the most minimal way to use it so “failure to adapt” doesn’t become a reason for termination… super frustrating.

As a recovering Christian, I hate this for the UK. The more stuff like this happens, the more I’m glad I deconstructed and walked away.

Two white pins with blue text that says I Voted are held up in front of the State of CA website that has Nov 4 special election and Prop 50 info on it.

If you’re a California resident, be sure to vote in the upcoming special election! If you need a little bling to get you motivated, we’ve got you covered with both ready-to-go small pins and solder-it-yourself kits! Kits are 50% off and assembled pins are 25% off. Happy voting!

Thanks to republicans and greedy for profit insurance schemes, my employer sponsors healthcare is going up 18%.. that’s a lot and it’s nothing compared to people with ACA coverage.. great job, you’re really making the wealthy great again…

Like Toy Soldiers *

In times like these, the song Toy Soldier by Eminem hits a little harder.

Ya know, I was trying to pin down why attacking civilian vessels in the Caribbean sounded familiar, then I remembered that a particular 1940s German state did the same thing during WW2

Not sure if we’re keeping her, she’s very sweet and we rescued her from living in a bush being covered by ants and slugs.

With everything going on, I’d like to break up your timeline with a sweet baby named Rune!

As someone who is dealing with high cholesterol, it’s incredibly concerning the moves they’re making in regards to healthy fats and oils.

Unfortunately we’re in a drought here in Utah so I can’t because I won’t be able to feel that rain on my skin

A classic

Still going on if you haven’t had a chance to grab anything

Honestly, if I was sold out of everything I’d consider making even more things. I have some ideas I’m kicking around but need a little motivation to get them off the ground

This sale is still going on, everything is marked down 20% for like the next 3 weeks and longer.

Honestly, it’s pretty lucky that I can draw down my retirement account to cover preventative medical expenses so I can work more years in the capitalism machine. Not sure what I’d do if I could actually retire before I die.

I’m super glad I live in a country where my taxes go to painting border walls and not covering medical expenses acquired from my wife and I doing the very thing they claim they want married people to do, have kids. Hello $450/m for the next year to pay off a $4600 medical collection 🫠

Considering the whole country is a joke, it’s just a part of the role play

DHS speechwriter linked to hateful social accounts ‘They are not migrants. They are not ‘undocumented.’ They are an invading army. The largest invasion in American history,’ DHS speechwriter writes on X

The Independent has identified Eric Lendrum as the DHS PR officer responsible for a relentless flood of social media posts on DHS pages using Nazis memes, slogans and images. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

American corporations are on pace to spend $1.1 trillion on stock buybacks in 2025, an all-time high.

Buybacks don't create more jobs, increase wages, or grow the economy — but they do help juice CEO pay that's often tied to stock performance.

Nothing trickles down to workers.

My pronouns are he/he because my life is a joke. (But seriously, support trans rights because trans rights are human rights).
