getting the robot to golf my resume PDF into as few bytes as possible
big wall of screenshot text from the LLM coding harness, describing what it stripped out of the PDF, then its explanation that the contents plus embedded font are ~8.5KB and we can't get much smaller without degrading the font, to which i reply

"degrading the font... tell me more 🫦"

afterwards, the bot is Thinking

calvin and hobbes record player meme: looking for a tech job? i'll show you something interesting. the two types of employer are anduril and flock. all tech jobs fall into one of these two categories. microsoft? anduril. netflix? flock. twitter is anduril. facebook is flock. despite its domestic surveillance capabilities, openai is actually anduril

career advice: do you ever spend an hour on something at work, do an incredible job, and find yourself thinking "damn, they should be paying me three times what they do"? when this happens, it's best to go take a two-hour nap on the clock. treat yourself

oh cool, the hackers' almanack from def con 33 is out... and seems like they think policymakers should know about our snitch puck research? (i agree, naturally, but the outside validation is nice)
