The "boom" ranges on our snow map for this storm are rather large. Here's why:

Sleet is inevitable Sunday-freezing rain is what worries us. Sleet bounces off trees & power lines. Freezing rain glazes them & that’s when outages become a risk. It's like a sprinkled donut (sleet) vs a glazed donut (freezing rain). Freezing rain risk increases late afternoon, esp E/SE of Beltway

Nightly numbers are in. Strong snow signal remains. ❄️ Most models show 7-12 inches around Beltway. Euro AI system avg leading pack at 16 inches. GFS suite the snow-lover special. But warm air aloft could bring problematic ice, especially SE of DC. ❄️ Still snowy 🧊 Ice in play ⚠️ Fine-line forecast

Here is how much snow different models are projecting for the Beltway area:
UKMet: 12 to 13 inches.
American model: 10 to 11 inches (primary simulation) | 9 to 10 inches (system average).
European AI model: 10 to 11 inches (primary simulation) | 16 inches (system average).
European model: 7 to 9 inches (primary simulation) | 10 to 11 inches (system average).
American AI model: 11 to 12 inches (primary simulation) | 12 to 13 inches (system average).

Signal-boosting that the game Go (🌐 Baduk, Weiqi, Igo) is good for brain development! If you’re interested in learning, GoMagic.org is great. I also highly recommend the new Legend of Baduk app from Korea: iPhone / iPad: apps.apple.com/us/app/legen... Android: play.google.com/store/apps/d...

My dev term of the day. Slopsquatting (verb): When malware is published under commonly hallucinated package names generated by LLMs. It’s similar to typosquatting except bad actors will target LLM hallucinations (slop) instead of typos. Use caution! #opensource #webdev #typescript #javascript

LLMs can't stop making up software dependencies and sabotaging everything

PSA There are a lot of fake E-ZPass Toll Violation Notice spam texts going around. I've gotten several. Do not click their nefarious links. They might have ".com" in the middle but if you look closely it'll say weird stuff at the end like "e-zpass .com .world" with some other letters mixed in, etc.

Look I know functional state machine diagrams can be useful, but in what world is this easier than just reading the code lol

A functional state machine diagram involving 3 functions: stut, check Dupes, and is Delimit. There are 19 nodes total and a lot of arrows going all over the place. The arrow lines being dashed makes it even harder to interpret.

Screenshot of a Ghostty terminal showing me using ollama to interact with a local DeepSeek-R1 model over a wallpaper background with a Monarch butterfly.  Because DeepSeek-R1 is a "reasoning model", you'll always see "think" tags before the model's final response. Image Transcription:

Shoutout to the board game Most Wanted! It's one of those rare games that scales extraordinarily well from 2 up to 8 players. It's poker-based, so you can get in on the action even when it's not your turn. I discovered it at #MAGFest last year and we've been having a blast with it ever since!!

The board game box for Most Wanted. At the top it says "Ken Gruhl, Quentin Weir & Dominic Crapuchettes present MOST WANTED". At the bottom it says 15-35 minutes, 10+ ages, 2-8 players, and North Star Games (the publisher). In the middle is a woman dressed in a blue cowgirl dress and hat pointing a rifle up and to the left in front of a WANTED sign that says "REWARD $10,000".

All the pieces of the board game are laid out in front of the box. There's a board with little character figurines sitting on it, each on a different row closer to the finish line. There's a pile of chips with moneybag icons, and a deck of playing cards (it's not a standard 52-card playing deck, it's specific to Most Wanted).

Virginia's state motto is legendary: “Sic Semper Tyrannis” — “Thus Always to Tyrants” On the Virginia seal and flag, this motto is paired with an image depicting the Roman goddess Virtus literally standing on a fallen tyrant! #virginia #flag #history #usa #flags #vexillology

A cropped image of the Virginia state flag featuring the state seal on a blue background. The seal depicts the Roman goddess Virtus, a personification of courage and virtue, dressed as a warrior with a helmet and holding a spear in her right hand and a sheathed sword in her left. She stands triumphantly over a fallen tyrant, who lies on the ground with a broken crown and a whip, symbolizing the defeat of tyranny. Surrounding the scene is the Latin motto “Sic Semper Tyrannis” (Thus Always to Tyrants), emphasizing resistance to oppression.
