John Asmuth @skelterjohn.bsky.social · 09/10/2026This weekend, come see me, NJGO, and the premier of my composition "Breakfast Around the Sun"! Louisville Kentucky. 000
John Asmuth @skelterjohn.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Today I begin a clinical trial for a medication called vepugratinib. It's like balversa, but more targeted. I had a really good response with a short stint of balversa, so I'm hoping this can be my long term ok ish solution. 010
John Asmuth @skelterjohn.bsky.social · 22/01/2026Done with chemo! For... good? That'd be nice. Until recurrence at least, which might be never. Here's hoping! Neuropathy recovery continues, though it is by no means a reset to what it was like before. My level of guitar ability is adequate for my ensemble, at least! And playing is fun again. 020
John Asmuth @skelterjohn.bsky.social · 18/11/2025"Fools Rushing In", by... me! Played by people I don't know!! In South Africa?!? These four are all way better at guitar than I am. They sound stupendous. Hope that Dillon Davies (on the right) posts the whole thing on YouTube so I can show off the whole thing! 010
John Asmuth @skelterjohn.bsky.social · 14/11/2025My thumbs have recovered enough (from neuropathy) that I was able to use chopsticks to eat sushi for the first time in almost a year! The recovery is slow, but it's real. 000
John Asmuth @skelterjohn.bsky.social · 12/11/2025So far so good, signatera test days negative for tumor DNA, which means it's very likely I have no active cancer in my body. There can still be dormant micro-metastases, so I'm doing an adjuvant therapy to increase my odds of avoiding a recurrence long term (forever?). 120
John Asmuth @skelterjohn.bsky.social · 24/09/2025Started a new therapy last week. Four months / 12 infusions. But then... never again! Until recurrence which is admittedly likely (but not certain). Predictably, I don't feel good. 010

John Asmuth @skelterjohn.bsky.social · 28/01/2025#react and #tailwind devs, how do you deal with your pages looking really different on platforms you don't personally have? My app doesn't render right on some iOS devices or older android. 010
John Asmuth @skelterjohn.bsky.social · 08/01/2025Today is the first time, since metastasis, that a doctor talked to me about decades instead of years. 010
John Asmuth @skelterjohn.bsky.social · 06/01/2025Tomorrow I go talk to a doc about getting zapped. Excited, anxious it won't end up making a difference. 000
John Asmuth @skelterjohn.bsky.social · 01/01/20252025 will be the year of NED for me? Hopefully. Appointment with a radiation oncologist in a week to make a plan to get rid of this trash. 010

John Asmuth @skelterjohn.bsky.social · 31/12/2024Good riddance to 2024. This was the worst year of my life and I hope it stays that way. 010
John Asmuth @skelterjohn.bsky.social · 28/12/2024This is an example where traditional docs often fall short, but LLM regurgitation is really useful. Navigating a new framework where I understand the concepts and what I want to do, but I'm unfamiliar with the jargon and docs, is my LLM super-case. 000

John Asmuth @skelterjohn.bsky.social · 01/12/2024In Bayesian modeling there is something called a "Chinese restaurant process" (to give people a mental model), or Dirichlet process (the (a?) person who formalized it.

John Asmuth @skelterjohn.bsky.social · 01/12/2024Ok so we had been going to this great creperie every other weekend or so. Then Stef told me how much it cost each time (not unreasonable for how much we enjoyed it, but a lot). 100

John Asmuth @skelterjohn.bsky.social · 27/11/2024I feel like if you don't think LLMs can be useful, you won't try them in a potentially useful way, and your opinions remain unchallenged. I've been using it as a pair programmer for a side project and it has been astoundingly useful. 000
