Hans @hvs.bsky.social · 04/10/2026In the past week I've had Opus 1) Discover unrelated bugs and fixed them while working on something else and 2) informed me that fixes I've personally implemented didn't actually fix anything and that they fixed the real issue. 020
Hans @hvs.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Yeah, I remember working with someone from a food shelf once that mentioned that it is much more cost-effective if you just give money to a food shelf so they can buy the food they need in bulk rather than donating a bunch of stuff that they might not need or want. 0300
Hans @hvs.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Which is appropriate as us Gen-Xers were never really handed the world (Boomers just kind of kept it for themselves) and we didn't really make it any better so now we are like, "Here. Sorry it's broken. Hope you can do a better job with it." 020

The army used different instruments for different things, but we can't as yet distinguish which mouthpiece came from which instrument (unless one is still attached!). Of course, they also had civilian uses (eg in the amphitheatre). 15813

Hans @hvs.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I think people outside of software development that have avoided AI (and some inside) don’t realize how good it’s gotten in the last few months because they don’t write code. Blocks of text are harder to judge the quality of, but code can be objectively better. 031
