thankful that i for some reason do not experience secondhand embarrassment for these profoundly stupid and evil humans.

uhh... i think it's bad for the president to break the law.

saw a baby (i think?) chipmunk this weekend. now you can see it too.

baby chipmunk, at the base of a tree, behind some leaves, trying to hide from a hairless omnivorous predator.

hmm. they're actually not dogshit? they're not amazing, but are much improved over the default "style", which is the major thrust of the blog post. most would survive a sophomore year design school critique without too much psychic damage, in my experience.

further zitronification of 404 media. sad.

every parent knows you can't just do a quick mental 180 on your toddler like this. you're gonna have to slowly bribe him out of the position you've been bribing him into the past 3 years, sorry. try juice boxes and lollipops.

> giving the model permission to make simplifying assumptions i feel this bigly. "why don't we just..." or "we don't need..." all day. or when writing product docs "the audience already knows this..."

> I see a lot of people actively losing their minds about the AI stuff [...] Me too but I bet we'd point to very different people when giving examples. > It's a word predictor I'm sure this wont go over well, but "It's spicy autocomplete" is just not seriously engaging with reality at this point.

citizen, do not taunt the abandoned parking lot bot.

so are we doing "bromarchy" or "blowmarchy"? we need polls on here.

just checking in from the town of ontario, on the south shore of lake ontario. nothing exciting to report. lake is still here, town is unchanged, donald trump is still a giant garbage bag. carry on.

Personally, I have renamed The White House to "The Doody House". Doing my part.

Their 14 year copyright term would change the equation a bit though.

i thought this was a before/after picture. "normal" on top, then... "WITH KAPOW".

i did the same thing this morning... went back to mastodon (first time in a while) to see what the fuss was about. mastodon is (for me) so cozy and all my type of nerds and creative folks are there, but woof @ the AI takes. maybe some mute words will clean it up.

Brian Boucheron @beardic.us · 14/07/2026

good article, thanks. i am not anti-datacenter but it's still wild to me that we're subsidizing them (both outright and through higher costs for everybody).

Brian Boucheron @beardic.us · 09/07/2026

you are really making lots of good choices here in rochester. i hope it was a lovely visit.

Brian Boucheron @beardic.us · 27/06/2026

This is a welcome embrace of reality but please be aware: you do not, in fact, have to "hand it to" Dr. Joseph Fucking Mercola, who is a source of horse shit on so many topics beyond this particular one which he is now reluctantly correct about. Fuck this guy.

Brian Boucheron @beardic.us · 26/06/2026

should be "th@ guy" though. is this something? no?

Brian Boucheron @beardic.us · 26/06/2026

daaaaaamn... whichwhere?

Brian Boucheron @beardic.us · 24/06/2026

I really hope 404 doesn't end up going full-Zitron. This article is "fine" but... it's heading in that direction.

Keeping an eye out for tonight's boo event.

it's a USGS quake map zoomed into manhattan.

Brian Boucheron @beardic.us · 08/06/2026

same. i bought a new NAS and filled it up with drives assuming tariffs would mess everything up... did not anticipate AI being the main source of chaos.

Brian Boucheron @beardic.us · 02/06/2026

pretty hard to admit you really screwed up and hurt your child for no good reason. easier to double down and blame others. more of the same!

Big day for blorpy bird babies in buckets.

seeing the "big button discourse" over the past few days made me want to call out that longtime friend-of-the-blogs rasterweb makes all sorts of usb buttons on etsy here: www.etsy.com/shop/raster and also blogs about them yonder: rasterweb.net/raster/tag/b...

i have a 2017 Bolt and it remains amazing, but yes the battery swap puts a little wrench in the calculus. we did not have much range degradation before the swap and could easily tolerate a 20+% range drop so it's really not a factor for us.

Brian Boucheron @beardic.us · 08/05/2026

i always remember the U of R nurses fighting back against mandatory covid vax though... the rot is very deep. regardless, we delivered twice at highland and they were generally wonderful. congrats on the new human.

What’s your backup model for adversarial reviews? Who is second-most cranky?

it was definitely radicalizing for me to watch inflation immediately gobble up the covid-times wage increases.

this is really going to mess with my zitrons per minute calculations.

technical writer: yes absolutely, already happening of course. my team is mostly enjoying getting the LLMs to assist us in writing better docs than the slop dogshit i keep reading out there. we're definitely "training our replacements" though.
