Just saw this little nugget in an llm's thinking block: "I should be honest: ..." 😳 Uh, yes, you should be honest!! Why would that even be optional?!

"Organize code by what it does, not what it is" has always been my preference. Love seeing someone say it so well ❤️ mact.me/8i

I get super pumped when I solve a "very tricky" NYT Connections puzzle without mistakes 💪 but it's really ego-crushing when I barely can solve a "straightforward" puzzle 😅

"people would think about this stuff more rationally if it were a TV show... Why did they really do what they did?... people have a clarity about fictional stuff that they don't have for real-world things like war, health insurance, the cost of eggs and gestapo tactics" scripting.com/2026/01/09.h...

Realizing that NYT Connections game only exists because English is so difficult a language that even very intelligent people find it challenging to know what words mean when there are no contextual clues. Some people weirdly find that entertaining ✋ but I can imagine it being really frustrating 😅

Jimmy is awesome! He's an independent Apple tech support guru based in SF, but he visits DC regularly (and offers remote support, too). Not only does he know everything - I had no idea I could take my screenshots as JPEGs - he's incredibly nice and he shares gorgeous photos in his newsletter.

Not only is this not crazy, this is absolutely brilliant! "Hippie love" might actually be the answer we've been searching for to the question of how on earth to counter the divisive, hate-filled attacks by the ultra-wealthy on American society that brought us to this point. Unite behind love! ❤️☮️

You've learned nothing. Repubs are immune to having their hypocrisy pointed out. They don't give a fuck. Gotcha politics don't work on people without shame or scruples. Just stop.

the thing that I find most amazing/hilarious about coding with AI is that the AI, having been trained on all available code and specs etc, writes CSS that I of all people have to correct. probably says more about CSS than AI though.
