Oooof, yeah, getting a loan without W2 employment is rough

What if we just made the whole month of October Halloween though. What then?

The only thing you ever need it for is a signature, so as long as you haven't forgotten how to sign your name 🤷‍♂️

If it doesn't have a 1M context window, it is at best a neat toy and at worst a tool for mass-producing tech debt.

Smaller, locally run models can be useful for many things. Writing production-grade code that doesn't fall over isn't one of them unless you live in a data center.

Open weights is an ambition it shares. “Please lower your engineering standards until this fits on consumer hardware” is a deeply irritating pitch.

Fucking ~50lb boxes only contain 5 planks of flooring each. RIP my back.

TBF, New York is the only city where I've ever seen a black mass that looked like small dogs rise from the shoreline at sunset, only to slowly realize they were actually rats...

Yeah, /usage shows you what you'd paid in API prices

Lol. Really getting the company's money worth out of this $200/month Claude Max 20x subscription

New personal record for most expensive planning session (this is the session that turns my data architecture spec into 60+ multi-step implementation plans).

Aviation rules and regulations are written in blood. Shitty software engineering usually doesn't get people killed, it just costs money.

I'm gonna be honest: I'm not entirely convinced this is a bad thing. Like, fuck Trump for causing it, but also, Wendy's is trash.

As the first stop of the new tour, Dallas got the live debut of their new single.

IDK man, median age at this concert is definitely into the 30s

The median crowd age at punk rock shows makes me think I might be getting old 😢

Southside Ballroom, Dallas, TX. One hour to showtime

Wait, WTF is wrong with not having kids? I despise small children and never, under any circumstances, want any (like, that was a first-date question when my wife and I first met).

Jordan Nafa @ajordannafa.com · 20/09/2026

Yup, that's how I've got it all setup. It's pretty incredible

Used terraform for the first time last week to bootstrap all the AWS resources for a new from scratch and oh my god this shit is like magic

Home reconstruction update: Met with our contractor yesterday to finish haggling, and we have a construction start date. All we have left is choosing flooring for the downstairs, and we're down to 2 options with enough red to avoid clashing with the upstairs.

Worst headliner or worst opener?

FelonyBench continues to be the benchmark to watch

But how does it perform on FelonyBench?

AI Safety is mostly a sex cult in the same way that observational causal inference is mostly bullshit. Sure, there are a handful of legitimate cases, but most of the time it's a cult.

54th Street is basically TGI Fridays with a slightly better beer menu and slightly better food, but the same problem: everything on the menu is better somewhere else...

Opus and Sol are arguing back and forth in the comments of a PR over whether AWS IAM allows a specific type of permission scoping for SNS, and I guess this is just engineering now 🤷‍♂️

Jordan Nafa @ajordannafa.com · 19/09/2026

I have enough permissions on our ClickHouse cluster that I'm pretty sure I could actually make this work, but also I'm not insane enough to actually propose it 😅

We're basically living the plot of dystopian B-movie 😮‍💨

Google is apparently telling me this isn't actually an insane idea.

Jordan Nafa @ajordannafa.com · 18/09/2026

If "run ETLs via scheduled Lambdas" is an idea you have, it's time to step away and come back once you're capable of making rational, sane decisions again.

Jordan Nafa @ajordannafa.com · 18/09/2026

I need to run some SQL on a schedule, and I'm too lazy/time-constrained to stand up an actual Airflow environment. It occurred to me that I could run ETLs via scheduled Lambdas, and that was when I realized it was time to call it a day.

I didn't know I needed a rule to force Claude to use U.S. English spelling of things, but apparently I'm going to have to add that tomorrow 🙄

Wait, but make a wish isn't an EA organization? Like, that is fundamentally not what they aim to accomplish

True story. Sankey diagrams have been forever ruined for me.

I had to explain the diagram™️ to my wife, who was not on Twitter back in the glory days, this evening, and her response was, "Okay....I've only ever heard the term 'fluffer' used in horse breeding"
