The shinto shrine near my house had its autumn festival tonight, and for reasons that are unclear to me there was a ska band

Am I crazy or has Macklemore started to slightly resemble 40ish Mike Patton?

I see Milo is in the news again, so that's my cue to repost the greatest tweet of all time

A person tweets: Who is milo?
Popehat replies: Imagine if the monorail guy from the Simpsons was trying to sell dildos to the Klan.

AI response to: write a tweet like bluesky user @fenomas.com:
Spent the afternoon refactoring a tiny canvas shader just to watch a different set of noisy pixels wiggle. Productivity is a myth and math is just a way to make your computer sigh quietly.

It's happening again.. the Roppongi savannah is overrun with packs of wild Doraemons, their slavering fangs thirsting for the blood of the innocent

It's 2026 and google translate is still using the wonky statistical engine they bought off the back of a truck ten years ago

Wow, this is a thing? Apparently on Steam you cannot send gifts if there's a price difference between the sender/receiver regions. It won't charge you the higher price or anything, you just can't buy it.

Summer in Tokyo brings many sights, but none is more fearsome than the roving packs of wild Doraemons - their slavering fangs glistening with malevolence, their yawning maws ever-hungering for the blood of the innocent. (seen here outside Mori Tower)

A first for me: doing agentic coding today, the model got stuck so it added log statements and asked me to paste in the results 😅 More surprisingly, the model did indeed fix the error on the next pass! This was using gpt4.1, with no guidance (I just pasted in error messages)

A log message: "Please run your training again and check the console for any shape mismatch logs. This will help us pinpoint the root cause if the error persists. Let me know what you see!"

First outdoor cafe programming day of the year. One of my dumb project ideas needs a mini JS interpreter, so I'm going to try and write a mini JS interpreter.
