I think it's cool that it exists and it's nice that valve still has talented game developers but unless four of my friends really get into it I'm probably not gonna play it again

If it works, that's pretty cool; I didn't think
would ever see this implemented (I also didn't
expect LLMs to exist).
However, this is not something you can PR
here, or anywhere. You sent me a nearly 50k
line diff, unasked for, completely LLM built, and
you somehow expect me to review it. There is
SO MUCH unrelated garbage here. Never
minding all of the docs and Python, you've
somehow touched basically all of the upstream
HDL, which already had MSU1 support, so idk
what in the world you're doing.
This kind of behavior is not acceptable. You are
infringing on the time and brainpower of people
by pushing "your" content that little/no of your
brainpower went into; completely unrequested.
I hope for the sake of all responsible
maintainers that you do not do such a thing
again.
Again, I think it's cool that you and your LLM
supposedly got this to work. It has no place in
my world.

Enterprise software companies had a short-lived run where they competed on usability and product-led growth which seems to be over. Now every SaaS app seems to be converging on the same UX monstrosity, complete with AI features of dubious value.

Rico Charges @NoChorus

Once at my granny's house my uncle excitedly said a James Bond film was on the tv. My Da said "sure they're all the same, a load of lads shooting at one lad then a mountain blows up." My uncle got really mad at how reductive that was then became furious when the mountain blew up.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

God Save Colleen, Butternut Sage Ravioli with Dijon Candied Walnuts. 


Longtime fans of the blog may notice that this is the first recipe I’ve featured that calls for sage! For years, I’ve been gesturing at a vague distaste for sage. (For my White Bean Soup with Brown Sugar Garlic Bread, I said, “Those with a naive palate could also add some sage, and perhaps later, Brad will ask you on a drive to Lover’s Lane.” How unspeakably rude!) You see, it’s time I come clean. It’s my husband who doesn’t like it. Actually, it’s my husband who claims he doesn’t like it.

His list of professed dislikes is infinitely long and includes spinach, mushroom, lettuce, tomato, paprika, carrot, curry powder, corn, avocado, fish, tarragon, oregano, broccoli, and much, much more. As a food lover, it has been difficult to work within his parameters, but any good chef loves a challenge. And though it stings my heart, every meal…

ADS: Paper money being KILLED in 4 nights. 

Drinking trick. Appearance of amazing drinking. 

Stop squeezing your bags! Gentle munch dot com. sloughed off into the garbage is a chance to try anew.

Imagine my surprise, then, when a few weeks ago, while out to lunch with his boss, I watched my husband happily eat a Cobb salad.

Having chosen the venue, the boss, a domineering galoot, ordered for the table. Tomato! Lettuce! Boiled egg! Some of my husband’s most reviled things, I thought. But I observed as he cleaned his plate with a smile, and as he dutifully laughed at the horrid oaf’s unrepeatable jokes.

Picture a hopelessly picky unitiate, ducking under the napkin to come face to face with an ortolan! The disgust of such a person does not begin to rival what I felt that afternoon. I said nothing of the incident. But I have been running my own set of private experiments.

The trouble, I realized, often begins when my husband asks me what’s in our meal, before even taking the first bite. Chefs delight in relaying the provenance of a dish! The preparation! The technique! But he has been using this all the while to torture me. To latch onto one dash of an herb, as a frustrated cop might a pinch of jaywalking, to sentence the whole dish to the bin.

So I have been making fabulous, decadent meals, and lying about…

ADS: Lovable Mouse Fan. 

What’s in homes to choke everyone? Your gasping family begs for the butter technique. 

YOU CAN STOP THEIR BIRTHDAYS, YOU KNOW.

what’s inside. I’ve been preparing whatever my heart desires, but when asked, making sure to stick to only to those ingredients which I know are pre-approved. Curries! Gazpachos! Do you know I made a haddock stew and said it was chicken? All lustily consumed as if he‘d never eaten in his life. How could I have ever married this inattentive rube, who would rather eat half the ingredients of two “Woppers Junior” than an artfully composed meal made by his meticulous wife?

Now, I know my husband has been lying about his distastes to anguish and vex me, so he’d have found some objections sooner or later. For this reason, I built in release valves at regular intervals. I cooked some of his favorite things—things that he frequently requests and adores, and said I’d experimented with a grating of nutmeg or a sprig of sage. (He hates sage most of all.) So he got to criticize me, and I got to watch him sadly get up, and with legs animated by pride, fight through the quicksand of our kitchen to set his full plate back on the counter. 

Do not despair, foodies! Myself, my friends, and our neighbors have frequently eaten well due to this hideous habit of his. Though he does sometimes like to employ the trashcan for more severe offenses, he couldn’t bring himself to scrape his beloved meatballs away, as if his mind was hoping it would change itself.

ADS: HUH?? I guess you’re still using expired crud. 

It pays to behave. Yum!


QUICK!!
Move away from this geographic feature known for spewing who knows what.Then came today’s recipe, my butternut squash and sage ravioli with candied dijon walnuts, made just last night. A quick one, as I wanted to leave time for quite an after dinner speech.

Plates licked clean, I began coyly. “I’m surprised you liked that so much. It had quite a bit of sage in it.” He sputtered. I rose.

“Because of me, your life has been full of all good things. Your heart full of love, your home full of children’s laughter, your table full of friends, and for the past two weeks, your belly full of sage! And mushrooms! And everything that makes life worth living!”

He slept at a hotel last night. His boss wouldn’t answer his calls.

I dedicate this recipe to CarolFromBristol who scolded me months ago for referring to my Crispy Duck with Black Cherry Gastrique as life-changing. “please. a recipecan never change you[sic] life,” you said.

Carol, a recipe can make you cry. A recipe can put hair on your chest. A recipe can lift your feet off the ground. A recipe can make your cat leave home and a different one can make it come back. A recipe can take an actor to bed. A recipe can change your life.

Bumble shark plushies! She's so fuzzy 😭🐝
A photo of Humlehaj, the bumble shark, being held by two arms up in the air against a background of sunflowers and a traditional red Swedish house. Humlehaj is a hybrid between bumblebee and shark, and has therefore a fuzzy body and brown and yellow stripes, as well as small bumblebee wings. She looks like she is ready to buzz away and towards the sunflowers! If only those hands would let her go... Free her!!!A photo of Humlehaj, the bumble shark, being hugged sweetly against a person wearing a striped t-shirt. There are some sunflowers in the background. Humlehaj has two hands cosily hugging her against the person's chest. She is such a cosy cuddle buddy!Humlehaj has been caught again in this photo, and is being held against someone wearing a dark brown coat while she is pointed outwards, her fins sticking out a little.. Humlehaj does not seem to mind much, though, as she is smiling and as round as ever. One could even say she loves a good play session!

Ich sehe mit Freude, dass die Niveau-Offensive bei der ZEIT weiter voranschreitet.
Politische Einstellung bei Männern:
Sind Männer an allem schuld?
Die Grünen und die Linken haben ein Problem mit Männlichkeit, sagt der Journalist und Autor Jan Fleischhauer. Der Schriftsteller Ralf Bönt entgegnet: Echte Männer sind links und nicht rechts.
Interview: Jana Hensel und Mark SchieritzFleischhauer: Doch, darum geht es auch. In der Ablehnung des Autos manifestiert sich eine durchgreifende Moralisierung der allgemeinen Lebenswelt. Die migrantischen Männer schämen sich jedenfalls nicht, ihr Auto aufzutunen. Das würde sich ein grüner Mann nie trauen. Vielleicht stehen Migranten deshalb bei grünen Frauen so hoch im Kurs.

Fidelity’s Director of Global Macro saying that the AI trade has been “dead money” for three months, and that it’s inflationary, meaning (as I’ve discussed multiple times) that the more debt they raise the more expensive debt becomes and the more they build data centers the more expensive it gets

On the Al front, the trade has been dead money for more than 3 months now. The metrics I am following (token expenditures and GPU lease rates) are all flat to down. The price of memory (DRAM) seems to be the only thing that is still going up.

Yes, Al will change our lives (for the better l trust) and down the road it may well unleash a productivity miracle that raises the economy's non-inflationary speed limit enough to keep the world's mounting debt burden sustainable. But until then the buildout is inflationary with an unknown return for the companies who are investing trillions into compute. The demand fo capital (equity and debt) from corporates is rising at a $3.3 trillion clip.
