Giving some serious thought to beelink and framework computer I need that form factor!

it costs way too much to run LLMs locally

Y'ALL ARE MISSING OUT ON ALL THE DRAMA

Mine is 22 months old. She's been using this since she was 6 months old.

Do you know how much fucking free time you have in your 20s before you have a family & kids? And you waste them on naps and Netflix, when you should go out and plant 5 trees every single day.

There is nothing that represents lost time like a tree that’s 2 yrs old instead of 20.

Life would have compounded so hard if I had been as good at things in my 20s and 30s as I am in my 40s. I was good at my job, sure, but I’m an incredible generalist now man what the hell.

I used to be like “just planted a tree need a nap”.

Literally incomprehensible to me now.

THIS WAS SO COOL. I watched it twice.

Who else do you want me to care about…?

Mixed together some dough during my lunch break. It should be a nice surprise for my wife when she comes home. An afternoon delight.

Yesterday I worked for a bit, ran 5 miles, went to my violin lesson, worked while I walked on my treadmill all day, dinner, ran 1.5 more miles (with dog), then showered before bed.

Was I smelly? Yes.

Going to watch this right now!

I do a thing where I lift and write code between sets, and this sounds even cooler.

I ran twice yesterday, and just showered before bed (as I always do).

She likely did the same as she’d run between meetings sometimes.

Another simple thing I’d not thought of-

Friend was doing a “2024 miles in 2024” challenge. Told her I simply don’t have time most days to run 6 miles at a time.

She said “that’s why I break it up into 2 to 3 shorter runs”.

I was on a call with another principal engineer and I said "okay we both have that other call now" and they said "you don't have to go to every meeting you're invited to" and I admit I had seriously not considered just ignoring invites. But honestly no other way to scale.

I told her to write me a 1-page apology note, read it aloud, and repeat until I was satisfied.

She succeeded in one try, but next time I'm going to impose restrictions on font, size, spacing, and margins.

My 10 year old yelled at me yesterday. I was angry and hurt, and wanted to ensure she didn't do it again. Unlike our parents' generation, I don't hit my kids, so I had to resort to making unkindness highly inconvenient.

in the 9-5 world right now, admitting you used ai to do your job is like when people first started using dating apps

I've actually never used it. Can I...do image gen / sora?

We already have blackout curtains! But no matter when I go to sleep I'll wake up at 7, so...the only way to get more sleep is going to bed earlier. Hate it.

claude:
- doesn't do image gen
- has been laggy multiple times this week that I gave up and restarted the request
- doesn't have voice chat

i've found myself reaching for grok and chatgpt more and more so... ❌

didn't think this day would come so soon but i've canceled claude and am going back to chatgpt

to be clear this is about the chat ui. i already use claude-3.x-sonnet via my ide (and people are saying to give gemini 2.5 a shot).

Of all the things I’ve tried to improve the quality & amount of sleep I get, the one that works best is just going to sleep earlier

It’s just hard when there’s so much to do!

china can remain irrational longer than america can remain solvent

I...don't know about that omg

It is 00:52. I am done. I have switched to pageless mode.

no promises!

there may or may not be redis in this architecture

Invited a teammate to review a 1-page architecture plan with me at 9am, so here I am still writing it

yeah, it's just some moving around. if it doesn't work for me (for example if I am unable to run in the morning because I'm not fueled enough), I'm just going to change it up.

maybe running days have more calories in the morning vs non days.
