iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Welp, I guess I know what I'm watching tonight.

Yeah look at this. It's just beach erosion where they built a road because this entire house sits on top of it. What an insanely dumb place to build a house.

Okay that was just a shit picture. It is indeed a hole of sinking.

I have Visual Studio automatic update disabled and yet..

... today's Bing wallpaper is a fucking ad? Are you shitting me???

I had it clone the look-and-feel of the typing trainer I had it make last night. Now we're cooking. LLMs are so freaking nice for grunt work. Yeah I could have made this, but it would have taken me an hour. This took 2-3 minutes.

Oh no.. no no no. Everything I've ever had Claude make has been beautiful and professional but this is just UGLY. This is the kind of design I'd have expected from Gemini or even a local baby LLM.

I've slowly reverted to 2-3 finger typing on my right hand so it's time to retrain. I'm sure there's a bazillion free trainers online but I want one I can modify/have modified at-will. Thus tonight's LLM project from Claude Sonnet. It came with a builder script that can take public domain book...

There were people who thought they could ignore electrification, industrialization, cars and the Internet. Humanity chose correctly to ignore *them*. All major advancements by our species will come with a price, but that price will never be as great as embracing fear, ignorance and regression.

The extent to which people don't understand there are US state and foreign country laws that *require* this is really disheartening. It's not like companies are doing this for fun.

The almanac average for today is 84. The all-time record was 94.

I realized that Community Notes/Birdwatch on Twitter was a failure the instant I joined it because these programs don't control who can join and make notes, resulting in most notes just being garden variety replies. It's like this everywhere that has these programs. All garbage.

I kind of miss the old days with Gemini 2.5.

I am by no means a free speech absolutist but I find censorship more offensive than gross people celebrating murder. You draw the line here, somebody else draws it someplace else, on and on until nobody can say anything except those who draw the lines. The masses get silenced.

Oh hello there pro-Republican Russian propaganda

/me watching you post this week 😅

No this is wrong. The industry learned more than a year ago that once models grow beyond ~500B params, they stop getting "smarter". That's whey the created "thinking/reasoning" modes, multi-agent orchestration, and Mixture-of-Expert modes along with effort constraints.

Apparently restarting Firefox fixed this, sorry Bsky. luvu uwu

I see Google's QR code pairing for Messages is working fine today
