Mark @denovich.com · 1hI don’t understand this mentality at all. It’s cheapest to run the HVAC when it’s not that cold/hot out. Why suffer for minimal gains? 110
Mark @denovich.com · 10hI started using AMS-LaTeX at university when my classmates were still writing out the math by hand. I’m convinced my papers had a substantial score buff because it looked so good. 010

Mark @denovich.com · 06/10/2026I did that a few months ago with a sensor to read my old water meter. Felt like I was a maker/conjurer. It was working great until a back pressure event broke the meter. They replaced it with a meter that can’t be read practically. 000
Mark @denovich.com · 05/10/2026By hand? Or LLM orchestrated? I recently upgraded Proxmox on 3 nodes, with about 30 LXCs going Debian 12->13, with Opus at the wheel. Zero drama. 35 years of using unix, I’ve got nothing on claude. 110
Mark @denovich.com · 05/10/2026I opened the window expecting this baby opossum (one of 3) but she was completely unfazed and looked like she was going to climb in. First photo blurry due to night mode. 031
Mark @denovich.com · 05/10/2026Performance is just as slow as Qwen 3.8 27B on Apple Silicon (M3 Max specifically) which is compute bound. I much prefer MOE architectures. Currently running Qwen 3.8 Flash Next. 020
Mark @denovich.com · 03/10/2026That was the first real camera I used. 50mm f1.2, “this lens is hard to focus”.Eventually learned about dof. 000

Mark @denovich.com · 01/10/2026Claude configuring ESP32 devices FTW. In 5 min I went from removing the board from the anti-static bag, to having it post battery/charging/solar data from my van via BT and posting it via MQTT to HomeAssistant. 210
Mark @denovich.com · 01/10/2026I think you need a pair of pint sized real roosters (black with spooky silver lace) to go with the skeleton one. I know a guy. 010
Mark @denovich.com · 30/09/2026Using Qwen 3.8 Flash Next 2-bit with DwarfStar4 as the inference engine classifying and providing enhanced captions for all the photos in my library (118k). Going to take about 8 days flat out running on my M3 Max 128GB MBP which amounts to about <$1 of electricity. 000
Mark @denovich.com · 30/09/2026We have a trio of baby possums visiting every night (we see them on the security cameras). They are adorable. No explanation for why they'd suddenly be roadkill, other than it was a bit more quiet last night with the fog. 000
Mark @denovich.com · 30/09/2026At least my rib stopped hurting about a week ago. Left big toe still hurts. 000
Mark @denovich.com · 30/09/2026First time I’ve ever hurt my back like this before. I was bouldering and fell from about 10’ above the mat, landing on my feet. I didn’t feel anything at the time. Noticed a little stiffness towards the end of the session. After an hour of sleep I woke up and almost couldn’t get out of bed. 100
Mark @denovich.com · 30/09/2026By chance I happened to have my phone unlocked as I got to the gym and it started a workout. So not completely useless, just mostly. 000
Mark @denovich.com · 30/09/2026Qwen 3.8 27B is slow af (as are other dense models). Try the 3.6 35B-A3B model. 100
Mark @denovich.com · 30/09/2026OS27 broke my “start workout” automation when I arrive at the gym. Fine, 2hrs and $99 later I’m an Apple Developer, testing an iOS/WatchOS app that does the same thing… And fails in the same way 😭 020
Mark @denovich.com · 29/09/2026Just submitted a PR for ds4, because multimodal requests to Qwen 3.8 Flash invalidated the cache. 11sec vs 4sec all due to avoiding the slow prefill of the system prompt on every request. I’m processing 120k photos, so I saved almost 10days of compute on an M3 Max 128GB. 101
Mark @denovich.com · 29/09/2026It’s crazy, isn’t it? I’m running out of itches to scratch, before I run out of tokens. 010

Mark @denovich.com · 28/09/2026Such a good song/album. Lyrics still stuck in my head ~40 years later. 000
Mark @denovich.com · 28/09/2026I get great results with Opus and Fable. Haven’t had an unproductive session in months. 000
Mark @denovich.com · 26/09/2026I’ve been trying to explain how to use SSH tunnels so we can do on-mobile device testing against remote servers which have egress-only firewalls. I’ve been doing it for years, but I guess it was too much unfamiliar setup for anyone else. Now /connect automates the whole thing. 021
Mark @denovich.com · 26/09/2026/port started the porting process in bite-sized chunks, with sanity checks before proceeding. What used to be a 100hr quote which was as likely to be low as it was high, is now a repeatable process that takes less than a day. 000
Mark @denovich.com · 26/09/2026Just getting prepared to start the work took many hours setting up databases, web servers, development environments, etc. /bootstrap does it all. Same as before but my coworker’s jaw dropped when it installed Docker and spun up a database and populated it, resulting in a fully configured system. 210
Mark @denovich.com · 26/09/2026I’ve started doing this for other tasks we do frequently. Ex: Porting custom customer code from one version of our platform to another, which was a Herculean effort. Pointing claude at the first workbench repo for inspiration, plus relevant sources and references and it created a new workbench. 110
Mark @denovich.com · 26/09/2026I wanted to share my setup that had evolved over the last few months with my coworkers. I created an umbrella repo workbench which contained all the skills/tools/references I was using. Clone the repo, /bootstrap to install all the prerequisites and in minutes they were gtg. 110
Mark @denovich.com · 26/09/2026I do software development for warehousing/logistics. This would have been very helpful with some of my past projects. 000
Mark @denovich.com · 26/09/2026I found all the people, all the activity, all the “new to me” a bit overwhelming. Took a while for my mental filters to adapt. I think it was easier to navigate than London or NYC. 010

Mark @denovich.com · 24/09/20267h55m of sleep. A new high score. And I stayed asleep for 4 hours after going to bed. Haven’t done that in years. Please be a trend and not an outlier. 000
Mark @denovich.com · 24/09/2026Slept from 12a-4a, that’s the longest stretch I’ve been asleep in probably 6 months, maybe longer. 000
Mark @denovich.com · 24/09/2026The family history on my father’s side didn’t extend past about 1910. With Fable’s help and many sessions digging I have hard evidence for Dejanoviči as far back as 1725. They were free peasants who got their land in exchange for hereditary military service. 000
