This is a dumb post but whenever I read "Zelenskyy" my brain interprets it like a girl texting zelenskyyyyyy

Saw cold cave in a beautiful church tonight and it sounded like ass

I've had the same phone background since I got my first smart phone, so like 15 or so years? And tonight I noticed it's the EXACT design element used in a logo for this random japanese restaurant we stopped at lol

I swear I'm being punked rn. Someone put on Steve Vai and then immediately after Joe satriani. I haven't seen anyone else approach the touch tunes tonight and there's no way instrumental shred is on a bar Playlist lol

At a bar in upstate NY. My girl comes up to me after visiting the touchtunes machine and says, "I just queued up a Wesley Willis track"

Def someone in Wegmans with a straight up collar, no day collar pretense. I would say I clocked it but it's nothing to clock, just very obviously is

Found a glock and ammo in the grass in front of a school today. Don't really like talking to cops but uhh seemed like a bad place for it

I still need to do odyssey as well. I wanna do 70mm Imax tho even though I hate the trip to Manhattan

Person this time has basically just a "no hookups" bio. Okay, fair. 3 photos one has a cool jacket so I was asking her about it cause I'm into fashion. I'm no rizzmaster but what else am I supposed to open with?

000

Escher Beat @escherbeat.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

Frustrating getting a like from someone on a dating app and then they just don't respond to your message? Also when they have basically no bio and I'm trying hard to say something more than hey/how was your weekend. Like what are you looking for? Why like my at all? 🙃

I don't think I've met anyone educated who ever thought we've figured out everything about reality. And any scientist would tell you that while we have a lot of great models for most things, there's a lot of glaring missong pieces (and that tends to be why they're passionate about science)

030

Escher Beat @escherbeat.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

A common trope I hear about people talking about consciousness, UFOs, psychedelics, etc, it's, "we think we know everything about reality but we really don't" and it's kind of passed off as common sense but I think it's really a straw man?

Ai deceptiveness can happen to you: - engineer gets pr approval - engineers pr was not passing integration tests in the merge queue - agent added special code to exclude the test from merge queue builds and merged - now the nightly build is broken 🙃

at a coworking space that seemingly has blocked claude code (not TCP blocking, not DNS blocking, something else that I can't figure out how/why) so I just spent like a half hour figuring out how to route my corporate VPN through my VPN to my home server (tailscale) but simutaneously keep corpo DNS 🫠

You're totally right on this!!!

The pendulum swings, and continues to swing

He had actually toured with one of the bands. Hasn't played a show since like 2014

000

Escher Beat @escherbeat.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

I've been making a band patch jacket and wore it to my first show tonight. I filled it with all obscure-ish bands and it paid off cause the guitarist of one of the bands immediately clocked out. Working as intended 💪

Escher Beat @escherbeat.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

Either way his vibes were completely fucked. Who does that?

020

Escher Beat @escherbeat.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

There was this guy in the gym yesterday wearing a leather jacket. Didn't do a single exercise for like three hours I saw him. Just occasionally wandering the gym, doing this kinda half heated finger gun kinda thing. Don't know if he was trying to put on a vibe or jamming to music

Escher Beat @escherbeat.bsky.social · 12/03/2026

Understandable! Figured it might be hard from abroad. Trying to figure out if there's enough people from our years going to make it worth the trip, but admittedly it's much easier for me 😅

@worr.bsky.social random, but asking around for people in our year - are you going to CSH 50th?

I smashed her "like" button, and now I'm subscribed, if you catch my drift

doing youtube title clickbait on my PR titles so I can get reviews faster

Escher Beat @escherbeat.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

this plugin was so key to a lot of the psychedelic effects I'd make on my escher beat album, but I'd have to basically bounce tracks multiple times and hope it didn't crash in the meantime

020

Escher Beat @escherbeat.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

the plugin's last release was in like 2009, it was written only for windows 32 bit, and would randomly crash. It was also a free plugin, so I'm not putting anyone out of a job by making this. Having a near-replica that is fully modernized, bug fixed, and *extensible* is an amazing power

Escher Beat @escherbeat.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

Spent some time setting up a rust-based VST/CLAP plugin repo yesterday. Today I had an LLM recreate one of my old favorite granular plugins just from the PDF manual it came with, and now it's working. I've never written rust code or a plugin before - very non-trivial accomplishment

121

Escher Beat @escherbeat.bsky.social · 14/02/2026

I had to look at the comments to figure it out too - it's a D not an O, JDI=jedi

110

Escher Beat @escherbeat.bsky.social · 13/02/2026

I can't underscore how surprisingly effective agentic workflows are for getting actual quality work done, including for fairly nuanced tasks across a whole repo. If you think LLMs are useless, you are definitively misinformed. Caveat that with they are not perfect, but nobody using them assumes that

000

Escher Beat @escherbeat.bsky.social · 13/02/2026

Is LLM AI perfect? definitely not. Is claude code surprisingly effective? **Yes** (when you plan/scope effectively (requires actual dev experience). Is it cost effective? Mmmmmm probably not. But for now, my company is footing the bill 🤷

Escher Beat @escherbeat.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

zen is a minimal fork of FF. while idk if they have specifically committed to anti-AI, adding in *any* extraneous feature (AI or not) is just fundamentally against their goal of providing a minimal browser

110

Escher Beat @escherbeat.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

nice, I used to use opera many years ago (that vivaldi based off of) until they kinda went in a drastic different direction, so I switched to FF. in general I prefer to support non-chromium browsers for software ecosystem reasons, but vivaldi seems pretty nice!

120

Escher Beat @escherbeat.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

on top of all the the UI is just kind of nicer overall

010

Escher Beat @escherbeat.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

historically, I use FF with aggressive use of multi account containers. I have a couple different windows I hold for different "workspaces" and do some tab grouping within them. Zen browser kind of gives me a lot of UI candy with this flow, with some modifications from what I expect

110

Escher Beat @escherbeat.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

trying out zen browser, seems pretty nice. with a bit of customization and privacy extensions, might be ideal going forward (I've historically been using firefox)
