France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.

Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars

The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.

Why aren't we doing this?

Someone sent out marching orders

I dont even know what that show is.

Bring back epic bacon

Went to the St Louis Basilica for Easter mass. We loaded everyone up and drove 3 hours for the service. Afterwards we spent some time wandering around Forest Park. Whenever I'm there I try and keep an eye out for a random @jeffgeerling.com sighting. No luck. Next time I'll try MicroCenter

Well put.

when the prompt and preamble and config all say the agent isn't allowed to commit or push code and yet it does it anyway for the 4th time in the afternoon... you quickly learn that security must be enforced via external controls.

Well Mr. Sweeny Todd could just be out to lunch or meeting with convicted sex traffickers arranging new digs so give him a few hours. And if this makes it onto Fox News then Mr. Frazer will be out within minutes.

Without needing to rewash?!?

Got to love when the #amazon delivery van double parks in the wrong lane and blocks all traffic. The guy didn't give a damn that there were cars stuck on both sides of him. And he had a perfectly fine spot to pull over a few feet ahead.

As a physics undergrad in the late 90s I thought something seemed off about the relationship between a married professor and the only female undergrad. Years later I run into her again and she's now married to him.

What really happens is that when he falls asleep in meetings he is really in a trance and communing with the Holy Spirit of Reagan

He is secretly channeling Reagan when he dozes off

Cant find my new sealed complete in box copy of SQL Server 2000. So here's my last certification training book.

I don't have any graphic cards a capable of running local ai reasonably.

Haiku is still using your tokens but you get a lot more of them for that model than Opus or even Sonnet. (7/7)

I hardly ever find myself in timeout waiting for my rate limit to reset when working this way.

You can do something similar with just claude by developing the detailed plans in say sonnet or opus but then using haiku to handle implementation. (6/7)

Claude then takes over and reviews the code. Generally I have no problem letting it fix the issues and then rebase and merge.

Sonnet and Opus act as my planners and managers of the minimax code monkeys dancing to their tune. (5/7)

Ollama Cloud and OpenCode Zen both provide the MiniMax 2.5 model in their free tiers. There are a few others as well but these are what i've used.

So the workflow begins like this.

* Pick a provider
* Work on plan as defined in the issue tracker
* Commit, push and create a PR. (4/7)

/begin rant
I used to do all of this in opencode but #Anthropic started banning people for using opencode instead of the claude TUI. So now I need to maintain both claude config and opencode config.
/rant over

In opencode I've got several model providers defined. (3/7)

I use the superpowers skillset to design and architect my plans which are then placed into my issue tracker.

From there I switch over to opencode. This has the same skills, agents, and mcp servers configured as in Claude. (2/7)

So when it comes to #AI and getting the most done on my hobby projects on the cheap here's my strategy.

I pay for claude but it's only responsible for my planning and code reviews. (1/7)

Nah he's moved onto naming things for himself. So it's now the Straight of Donald J. Trump. And yes spelled exactly like that.

It was good to get back into the conference habit with #DataSaturdayChicago this past weekend. First SQL event I've been too since covid

I love the graphic audio versions

So welcome to the life of a xennial. That's literally been my whole life under Reaganomics

And the fate of Babylon 5 :(

Clancy's Pres. Ryan dropped a bomb on the Iranian leader. So did Trump.

Pres. Ryan has a deep respect for Russia and makes friends with their leaders. Trump just adores Putin.

All we are missing plot wise is a 747 hitting Capital Hill and a nuclear device on US soil. Lets not have that happen 7/7

And finally, President Ryan is the ultimate fanfiction for a Reaganite true believer in the Unitary Executive theory. He came to power without a functional Congress and named his own Supreme Court. Sound familiar? 6/?

Tom Clancy has a fascination with submarines and the silent kills of enemy ships by them play a big part in several books. The Hunt for Red October was the first big movie based upon a Clancy book. And this admin is certainly playing up the first torpedo fired in anger since WW2 bit. 5/?
