Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 04/08/2026FYI: that's a standard term in the UK. Like getting a "shot" in the US. 200

Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 12/07/2026House finch in the backyard July 2026 These girls squabble as if there weren't enough food for everyone. I assure you - there is enough food for everyone. 000
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 10/07/2026I am not happy about my nephew being on board a "high value target" in DT's crazy-ass war. 000
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 05/07/2026We seem to have a ceasefire in the raccoon/fox poo war. 000
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 03/07/2026It's being a PITA for programmers right now because of the new guardrails, but for my (non-coding) work, Fable 5 is f'ing brilliant. 000
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 03/07/2026I think there are at least half a dozen people I know still here. 010
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 03/07/2026The good news is it's not radioactive* raccoon poo. The bad news is we have (fox) poo on our path. *They carry stuff that's very rare in humans (mostly young kids who ate dirt), but very bad. 000
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 03/07/2026TFW you realize you clicked on the wrong (depressing) Chappell Roan song. 000
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Almost everyone I know has abandoned Blue Sky. I guess it's a good place to talk to myself. 100
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 03/07/2026The lies really get to me. It's really one of the worst habits you can acquire. Up there with heroin. No, really. You don't want to hang out with heroin addicts because they lie and steal to support their addiction. 000
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Your pop interlude for the day: open.spotify.com/track/3hcivo... Yes, we were this close. 000
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Damn. Fable 5 is good. I made it review something I'd already discussed with Opus 7 and 8, and Fable 5 gave me a list of 15 things to address. 010
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 01/07/2026I used em-dashes for decades before AI made them unfashionable. 000
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Is there any group whinier than Claude users? 000
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 01/07/2026No one told me this thing was squirrel proof! 000
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Pic of Trash Panda in our woods last week. He (might be a she) wanders through at least once a day and hasn't caused any trouble. 000
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 28/06/2026Screenshot of just how little of the full frame this was. I'm lucky if there is a full 1 MP in this photo - Welcome back to 1995!!! 000
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 28/06/2026Not the greatest because I had to crop in extensively - this is a tiny piece of the full frame because I was in a hurry and grabbed the camera with the lens that was on it at the time, but Trash Panda is still ridiculously cute. 100
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 27/06/2026The hummingbirds have found our new feeder!!! 020
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Chewy recommended I set up my purchase subscription for every four weeks. Clearly they have not met my squirrels. 000
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Why would you use AI instead of a normal Google search for this? AI has a lot of problems, but a large number of the issues we see are related to user error. 100
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Broke into a house with a crowbar. That's a first for me. Everything is fine. Those little doorknob locks? Just tape them open - they can be defeated almost instantaneously. In oddly related news, you CAN put a cat carrier together with a cat inside. 000
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 22/06/2026He is fine. I was worried about Trash Panda after he didn't show up at his usual time. I heard gun shots in the neighborhood. We don't have hostile gunfire here, and it's usually hunting related. You're allowed to shoot a raccoon that destroys property on your land, and that's what they do best. 000
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 20/06/2026Trash Panda last week. I was zoomed in, then cropped the photo - I wasn't really this close to him. 000
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 19/06/2026Glad we didn't skimp on my computer's CPU or memory. Lightroom Classic is burning 75% of memory and 50% of CPU and still taking forever to import my files. Granted, there are 8500 of them. Wildlife photography takes a lot of space.... 000
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 19/06/2026@anthropic.com I love the new Claude tools, but it is a serious PITA to have the information in them silo'ed by application. Chat can't see what I'm doing inside projects, and Code and Cowork are right out. In your copious spare time, can we have a toggle to let them all see a project? 000
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 18/06/2026I understand why it's there, but it pisses me off every time I see the Fable 5 is unavailable note in Claude. Opus 4.8 works great for me, but damn. Fable 5 was incredible for the like two minutes I had it. 120
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 16/06/2026Have you earned your opinion on AI? Great article on AI. My opinions on AI, positive and negative, are based on my personal use. Well, except for Grok. I just hate Elon. theengineeringmanager.substack.com/p/the-right-...theengineeringmanager.substack.comThe right kind of AI scepticHold your opinion from experience, not proximity. 000
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 15/06/2026I hate it when Claude is right, but I'm glad I have him* on my team. *It's a mathematical model, but I anthropomorphize everything, and its name is Claude. 000
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 13/06/2026Scheduled task failed because I had Claude Desktop set to Fable 5 last night. Grrrrr 010
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 13/06/2026I'd take his money and spend it on things he'd hate. 010
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Fable 5 is a great editor - blows me away how good it is. Did not accidentally build a bioweapon. 000
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 12/06/2026God grant me the confidence of an average white man. Dude is so sure he's right, and he's dead wrong. 000
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 11/06/2026Both. When I'm chatting with Fable 5 about a project, I'm talking to the collective wisdom (and ignorance) of humanity. It's the sort of wow I feel in a museum reading something an Egyptian wrote 5000 years ago - communication across millennia, but much, much bigger. It's not bad, but it's big. 000
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 11/06/2026I joked about using Fable 5 to summarize the CEO's post, but I used it this morning for feedback on something I wrote. Damn. This thing is good. Really good. I'm not paying extra for it after they take it out of my subscription - it will be back when they have more capacity, but wow. 000
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 10/06/2026I didn't say it read as surveillance. Lots of things in this world are disturbing, 😊 100
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 10/06/2026Used Dario's Fable 5 to summarize his way-too-long post today. 😆 000
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 10/06/2026Finally saw Project Hail Mary. Was skeptical, but amaze amaze amaze. 010
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 10/06/2026A model of almost every digitally recorded connection in the western world, plus some. Very cool, yet very disturbing. 110
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 09/06/2026The baby finches have fledged!!! The last one is still on our porch. The parents are in the area and making noise, probably coaxing him off the porch. 000
Jen Wainright @jenwainright.bsky.social · 09/06/2026Squirrel is likely big mad about Trash Panda raiding his peanut jar. I don't mind feeding him as long as he doesn't trash my feeders. This is Adam's pic - mine are still on my camera. He let me get within 10 feet of him, which isn't great, but I guess it's to be expected in an exurb like ours. 000
