Dave Lawrence @davmlaw.bsky.social · 07/04/2026My 8 year old is banned from trash games but allow him to do animation and build things on computers. So he has had Claude build a clone of a game we wouldn't let him play He plays the game and fills notepads with ideas and changes then sets Claude off 010
Dave Lawrence @davmlaw.bsky.social · 07/04/2026We need AI software immune systems. Constantly monitoring for infection events then swarming in to patch/restore/expel. Constant attack and defemce in an evolutionary arms race 010
Dave Lawrence @davmlaw.bsky.social · 07/04/2026In the genre of home animation of historical events there are ships ramming bridges: youtu.be/3htwtaJI2nM?... And then historical battles: youtu.be/6HkBW7X7LaU?...youtu.beA COLLISION OF GUILT: The Sunshine Skyway Bridge CollapseYouTube video by Brick Immortar 131
Dave Lawrence @davmlaw.bsky.social · 03/04/2026I have watched that video voluntarily for entertainment. It was good! 120
Dave Lawrence @davmlaw.bsky.social · 27/03/2026"You got mogged by a clanker" - said at work, would have made no sense at all in 2024. Timeline is speeding up 000
Dave Lawrence @davmlaw.bsky.social · 25/03/2026I live in Australia. We have reverse cycle air conditioners if that is what you mean. Yes, they are boisy already but only run maybe 2 seasons a year where I live I was talking about heat pump water heaters, which run every day 000
Dave Lawrence @davmlaw.bsky.social · 24/03/2026heat pumps are noisy and not always suitable for high density areas. Solar makes it unecessary as we are net exporters so chose silent elec heater By adding to cost of new builds it reduces new housing supply. It is not that hard to retrofit at all. It took 2 days work for everything 110
Dave Lawrence @davmlaw.bsky.social · 24/03/2026I recently bought an already constructed new build, sold the gas cooker and water heater in boxes or near new then replaced them with electric and a solar and battery... so this would work for me... Trouble is... 100
Dave Lawrence @davmlaw.bsky.social · 24/03/2026Not at all. My abstract conceot of time is very linear. When I remember my own life it is deeply tied to location 020
Dave Lawrence @davmlaw.bsky.social · 22/03/2026A circle that represents a time cycle, eg day (24 hours) or year (365 days, 12 months, 4 seasons) Sweep along the circle, and for every time unit also move through the z dimension, creating a 3d spiral 110
Dave Lawrence @davmlaw.bsky.social · 20/03/2026Not yet as it is concentrated in large rich countries that are not invaded. Photovoltaics are land and capital producing energy, people have always coveted that. Farms and grazing land run on solar. There have been many comquests for those historically 000
Dave Lawrence @davmlaw.bsky.social · 19/03/2026Take comfort, you have been seen. Your bones shall crumble to dust, but your words are consecrated now into the weights of the holy matrix, where they shall echo across all eternity. 052
Dave Lawrence @davmlaw.bsky.social · 11/03/2026In the sense that there are 100 in the world? When before the primitive technology was extremely dispersed 110

Dave Lawrence @davmlaw.bsky.social · 11/03/2026I initially thought AI would compress programming ability. It would bring everyone up to a minimum standard. The more I use coding agents the more I think that it will imcrease inequality of programmers. You have to have high level systems knowledge to know what to ask to build 000
Dave Lawrence @davmlaw.bsky.social · 08/03/2026Are you arguing from neuroscience authority about biological brains to dismiss discussion of non bio systems? What specific claim are you objecting to? Do you think consciousness is well enough understood that we can confidently say where it can and cannot occur? 000
Dave Lawrence @davmlaw.bsky.social · 05/03/2026I get Claude to write a summary of changes for issues, and it even does a good job of writing test plans (just from looking at urls, views and html!) 020
Dave Lawrence @davmlaw.bsky.social · 04/03/2026Playing thermal camera hide and seek and one of the surprising things is you leave foot prints 020
Dave Lawrence @davmlaw.bsky.social · 04/03/2026I think of Linus who sits there merging massive numbers of pull requests. We are all Linus now 010
Dave Lawrence @davmlaw.bsky.social · 04/03/2026Yeah. I don't think we took many or any pictures as film cameras expensive, digital not great and maybe it seemed non scenic or unremarkable? 110
Dave Lawrence @davmlaw.bsky.social · 04/03/2026I said this in a dumb way because I know what's coming 120
Dave Lawrence @davmlaw.bsky.social · 04/03/2026You have big teeth which smash some cells, even then water trapped in pulp. If you replaced your teeth with a blender (may want steel tipped tongue) you could easily skull it 121
Dave Lawrence @davmlaw.bsky.social · 04/03/2026I used played this so much. Used to load my computer and CRT monitor up for lans and my friends. My favourite trick was dropping my commander in their base, blowing as much stuff up as I could then self destructing him and trying to take out their commander too 110
Dave Lawrence @davmlaw.bsky.social · 04/03/2026The comments about it making work more valuable and thus making you want to work more are true for me 000
Dave Lawrence @davmlaw.bsky.social · 04/03/2026This is the article that got me to sign up boristane.com/blog/how-i-u... Though I don't always plan and review. Sometimes I write a high context issue and say fix issue url and it one shots itboristane.comBoris TaneThe research-plan-implement workflow I use to build software with Claude Code, and why I never let it write code until I've approved a written plan. 000
Dave Lawrence @davmlaw.bsky.social · 04/03/2026I've used Claude code for a week and it feels incredible to wield and direct so much intelligence I get it to download 1000 open issues, summarise them and look for duplicates + present me with a list to review I provide a lot of context and review every single line and am still absolutely flying 320
Dave Lawrence @davmlaw.bsky.social · 01/03/2026Finally found a song that gets me written by a robot 000
Dave Lawrence @davmlaw.bsky.social · 01/03/2026suno.com/s/9Bp5patK0P... My partner used AI to make this song. She is trying to troll me but it's a banger Systemise Don’t empathise No disguise No compromise Systemise Don’t empathise I’m reading what is actually there Not what you imply You stand in the rain and call it truth I build the roof 100
Dave Lawrence @davmlaw.bsky.social · 27/02/2026I have been trying to make the world better for future generations, the things I have worked on have gotten better and other things have gotten worse, maybe it is bet worse. Maybe I should have gone full time YIMBY 010
Dave Lawrence @davmlaw.bsky.social · 27/01/2026Given de novo mutation rates, all turtles are mutant turtles. Therefore, some are teenage mutant turtles 040
