The great thing about coding with AI is that I can create so many more unfinished projects in the same amount of time

I can recommend hedging against reality. If there is something you absolutely don't want to see in the world, bet on it happening on a prediction market. When it inevitably happens anyway you've at least got some money to drown your sorrows with.

Using Claude to RE a PCB from a high resolution image. Turns out you can't just shove a 1GB tiff into Claude without some problems. So I made a mini MCP that can "computer enhance region" by first getting an overview and then request sub regions of that image. github.com/johanoskarss...

Trump administration orders dismantling of the U.S. Forest Service
Late Tuesday afternoon, with the subtlety of a wrecking ball and the morality of a foreclosure notice, the Trump administration announced the most devastating attack on the U.S. Forest Service in the agency’s 121-year history.

AI-musik är precis vad vi förtjänar | Andres Lokko
