996 is a good number!

This is the future technologists want.

Cabin Jam is all-time! ♥️

True, I care more about the good NFC matchup on TNF tonight as well. 😌

I'll check that out right after I do this!

Absolutely terrible idea, whosever it was.

My routine is put pants on and not get things done.

Semi-related: There's a recent epidemic, it seems, of expressing lower values as "N times less" (e.g., "10 times lower") which is of course meaningless and makes me a little batty. The fraction has been flipped—in this case it'd be "1/10th as much," but I guess that's way too heady for 2025 America.

Screenshot of an email from OpenRouter.ai letting me know that my "2025 OpenRouter Wrapped has arrived," a spin on the end-of-year review made popular by Spotify and now adopted by everyone.

When your LLM API gateway starts doing an end of year recap, you know the ubiquitous Wrapped trend has jumped the shark. And—excuse me—did you say something about _badges_? 😑

If you’re not video editing or otherwise doing work where a heavy operation will hammer the drive, moving large amounts of data, then the day to day differences of a RAM cache on the drive will be mostly negligible.

SATA are the drives that look like the hard drives we remember. NVMe look like memory sticks. This is not actually what the letters mean, but it’s a good way to tell them apart. NVMe are faster and typically what you’d use as a primary (and often secondary) drive in a modern build.

Let's go see some Emms! 🔱

Civility will return when the airlines give us another 6” of legroom and seat width, and lobster dinners with champagne in coach.

Beach pickles! 🥒 🥳

Ari is outstanding! What a ride he’s been on over the last year and change!

Bring the good vibes and good luck, homie! 🙌

Great to hear! Glad it helped.

There is, of course, a measure of discipline involved in knowing what should be explicitly passed as parameters, and what’s okay to stuff into Context.

That’s a very common use for it, yes! It also can carry around data that may be useful for functions in the call chain, or things like a preconfigured logger (often loaded with unique request IDs, for example).

Why does hold music sound like it's being played at 8kHz on a boombox across the room from a microphone? It's 2025 and this is embarrassing, or perhaps more likely, a psyop to demoralize you before you speak to a representative. 🫠

Don’t forget comma splices, they’re everywhere now.

I lament that I’m away for this. 😔

Mannnn, I used to go see PGroove all the time back in the day in the aughts. This is a more recent performance but it still took me back.

This was dope! Thanks for giving us some Labor Day Dick’s. 🙏🏼

Good seeing you again, Tim!
