First time I’ve seen one of these electric trucks in the wild, it was totally silent! Looks like it’s refrigerated too. Make: Cenntro Model: Logistar Link: cenntroauto.com/logistar-450/ It looks Chinese I wonder if they paid tariffs on it or what?

Not too bad in practice. It's just a simple demo and doesn't have inventory features, mobs, etc. But pretty amazing what it can already do with 3 prompts. hosscoinbot.bbhoss.io/game.html

Just tried something with pwsh and it worked well. Instead of using curl and piping into jq with a filter which it seems to be really bad at. It got to the answer I was looking for without any prompting by using the builtin functionality Where-Object. I'm sure it would work better with a skill!

$⏺ Bash(pwsh -Command '$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://myapi.app/fires?limit=200"; $backbone = $response.fires | Where-Object { $_.post_title -eq "Backbone" }; $fire = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://myapi.app/fires/$($backbone.myapp_id)"; Write-Host "=== $($fire.post_title) Fire ==="; Write-Host "State: $($fire.state) | Acres: $($fire.acres) | Containment: $($fire.containment)%`n"; if ($fire.summary) { Write-Host "Generated: $($fire.summary.generated_at)`n"; Write-Host $fire.summary.content; Write-Host "`n=== Citations ==="; $fire.summary.citations | ForEach-Object { Write-Host "- $_" } } else { Write-Host "No summary available" }')$

Most hoods here are real excited, especially the strong dem ones. The establishment got routed and they have to change up or lose funding. They’re worthless to their funders if they aren’t in power, so no wonder they’re upset. Cuomo got clearly trounced though.

For my fellow iTerm2 users getting super annoyed by the notification sound Claude Code makes. Anybody interested? Might be a bear to upstream.

The “Mastering Claude Code” video starts with a suggestion to use macOS dictation, so maybe many at Anthropic are using it? Wonder if they’re all in office doing that lol

Very nice to see one of the rare post-pandemic outdoor dining structures in the wild at The Skillman in Sunnyside. People seem to prefer it, and it’s a much better use of the space than parking 1.5 SUVs.

Look what I just dug out of a drawer. Last time it was powered on was 2010, and damn times have changed. Kinda want to mod it now. Replace the battery (seems fine tho?), upgrade the storage to a couple TB flash card. Firmware hack to play lossless.

A lot of problems in life can’t be solved, only managed. Sparing use of chocolate conchas helps quite a bit for me.

Mine enjoying the best pet purchase I’ve made, a pressure activated warming pad. She loves it and stays on it for hours sometimes, just rotating to warm her other side 😂

With congestion pricing in effect I think these hop on hop off tourists busses are probably way less of a scam and waste of time than before. Instead of sitting in traffic all day you can actually move around the city.

Great time in ktown tonight! Still too many cars though. Too much parking, not enough space for people. But really happy with the progress that has been made
