this 9,076 character regex matches all 4,030 4 letter words in the Scrabble dictionary - and nothing else. Those words would add up to 16,120 characters total.

Well, this is NSFW. This unbelievable thing with 15 CTEs and 20 subqueries is in fact on SQL clause. Man, I remember I used to draw diagrams like this by hand in my first role to understand some absolutely unhinged scripts; h/t to the VS Code extension SQL Crunch for at least making it easier 17/

i'll only be convinced of personal agents if they 1. are local-first 2. have customisable avatars 3. can fight other people's agents in a real-time grid-based deck-builder

some goldsmithing photos we melted in some heirloom gold from her grandma(s), so that's also special; part of her ring is literally made of other family rings it was a really cool experience, you get to customize everything to your exact details, and everyone gushes when you say you made them

gold ring melting / annealing - you have to heat up metals after they've been cold worked to add back ductility so they don't crack. so the process (like blacksmithing) is heat, work, heat, work, etc

melting gold from the crucible into the strip molds. the molds are flat strips and then you bent them into a ring second (see other photo)

fujifilm xpro3 35mm

annealing after the joint gets soldered together. you curl the strip into the ring shape and then weld the ends into a band

fujifilm xpro3 35mm

this is what the flat ring strip looks like - you add the hammered surface finish first while it's flat, and then roll it into size and cylinder second

What if the "gut feeling" part is just as conscious as you are, with its own detailed reasoning for its decisions, but that feeling is the only way it can communicate.

a bunch of people in SF are signing up on gogomi (I know because SF only exists in the testflight build). wonder who's sharing it

posted an IG story that centred my arm and NOW the bicepsuals are responding. a true bicepsual wouldn't have needed a good camera angle to appreciate them. can't respect the current outreach, sorry

New blog post: www.redblobgames.com/blog/2026-09... I was looking at assigning "a" vs "an" articles for English nouns (for procgen purposes), and fell into a rabbit hole …

a friend's building the android version of gogomi and the walk traces were way off. turns out google removed a kalman filter from their fused loc provider, not sure they gave a heads-up issuetracker.google.com/issues/45368...

I once consulted for some High-Minded Intellectuals at a climate non-profit who were incensed that people donated more to a donkey sanctuary, so I opened each website. Sanctuary had a donkey in a hat named Puddle, and non-profit had a press release titled ‘Crop Eradication Likely Within A Century’

Hot take: if there were mermaids or dragons, they would be seen as resources or pets. We would have mermaid-sushis and dragonscales handbags and dream of a world with some other weird animal. I mean: we have amazing giant blue whales and weird shit like platypuses or axolotls and noone gives a fuck.
