Thought I'd try ChatGPT again after a long time of using Claude. ChatGPT just feels a lot less steerable. With Claude I know I can get it to search by asking it to. I can generally "guide" Claude down certain ways of thinking or certain idea paths. ChatGPT seems more opaque.

Too much social media posting is how people want the world to be rather than how it is. It's human to want the world to be a certain way but when you get a room of 1000 people who only want to talk about an ideal world and not the real world, you get a lot of the bad stuff of social media.

I always run cold so been logging some climate metrics. The house is around 67.2 °F (19.5 °C) at 50% RH which I find chilly. Turning on a mini forced air heater around my desk brings up the temperature to 70.6 °F (21.4 °C) at 48% RH which I find much more comfortable.

who's on what platform, 2025 edition

Truth Social is where the man who thinks he runs the country announces his latest move.

X is where the man who actually runs the country gets his ideas for the president's next move.

Threads is where people proudly resist both of them by patronizing a different billionaire who agrees with whatever the president says.

Bluesky is where people are absolutely furious with the president's latest move and know exactly who to blame: the headline writers at the New York Times.

Facebook is where people think the president's latest move was opening a casino for dolphins in Gaza with Jesus and they love it.

Nerd comms online seem to be dominated by trauma dumping: 1. I dislike <thing> due to <reasons> 2. Get really angry about <reasons> 3. Write a rant post about how <reasons> make you feel angry and act very uncharitable in your rant 4. Make sure to post so that everyone else absorbs your anger

Internet political fights in English: What they say: "Only Americans do it that way, the rest of the world is enlightened" What they mean: Western Europe does it this way. Let's ignore the rest of the world that does it the same as the US because only Western Europe matters.

Ran pprof with my Go #atproto labeler. 20% of my runtime was spent reading from the jetstream websocket and 4% on JSON parsing. Started terminating TLS upstream of the labeler and now the jetstream reader is taking up 15% of the runtime and 5% is on JSON parsing.

Was bored in a work meeting the other day and idly wondered what the user-age distribution of big HN threads are like, weighted by # of posts in the thread. Asked Claude to do a first pass because I was mildly paying attention to the meeting. It did it all. With maybe 5-10 total brain minutes spent

Don't post too often on politics directly but the Ukraine news has me fairly anxious. I'm sympathetic to the idea of exploring ways to end the conflict somehow, but this is not right.

先月，ドイツやオーストリアの 60 を超える大学・研究機関による共同声明で，X（旧 Twitter）の利用中止が発表されました。開放性，包摂性，民主性，透明性，科学的で統合的な視野といった，研究機関の重んずべき価値観に X が適さなくなったことを理由としています。私たちはこれに共鳴し，「東京大学 SNS 分散化プロジェクト」を設立しました。既に日本（とりわけ大学）で徐々に進みつつある「脱 X」における，一つのマイルストーンとなります。当アカウントでは今後，東京大学学生の有志の運営により当プロジェクトの活動報告をおこなっていく予定です。 #Twitter #春から東大

With TikTok I'm afraid that: 📍 The USG wants to ban TikTok because its algo doesn't take USG policy into account 📍 This sets a precedent that any large social media service must follow USG policy 📍 Bluesky and Mastodon are banned after a certain scale because they allow algo choice Scary precedent

This is right: many auto safety regulations have reduced traffic fatality rates. Similarly, many fire safety regulations save lives. But with both, there’s a danger: if traffic safety regulations are designed without regard for fire safety, or vice versa, the result can be MORE lives lost.

I've switched over to Flickboard now and it's been roughly 1.5 weeks of flick typing. I'm still not as fast as swipe typing but I am getting faster. I'm enjoying being able to directly affect a written style that is not fixed by autocorrect which makes me sound less casual than I like to be on text
