iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Working from home has been a game changer for school-age parenting. Kids can largely mind themselves for a few hours at this age, but you need to be in the same building.

the actual reason to run it when you're using an llm is that it throws so many compile-time errors that it is very difficult to write bad code in it

This post reminded me of being 8 years old, reconfiguring our IBM PS/2 Model 30 every few weeks, to the confusion and frustration of my parents, trying to work out what you could program with DOS batch files.

This is the best product review I’ve read: samhenri.gold/blog/2026031... It doesn’t matter if you’re interested in the MacBook Neo or not; this is the kind of essay that makes you think about the potential of technology and the joys of exploration.

Product idea: slack, but instead of frantic back & forth distracting the rest of your team, you’re chattering with an AI to work out what you’re really trying to say. The rest of the team reads the more thoughtful responses that drop out the end, designed for async consumption.

What do LLMs see? I wrote a lil' tool that extracts the attention matrices out of open models and creates this typing visual, with each token's opacity changing according to its average attention score as the prompt progresses. Dimmer words are considered less important to the model.

Another trick - set your e2e tests to enable this, and then you don’t need to wait for animations transitions, speeding your tests up bit. Faster tests, better accessibility – a win-win!

Anthropic have put their toe into agent orchestration. Something missing from this, and I gas town too, is input multiplexing: if I’m running a lot of agents and I’m not a cowboy, there are a lot of steps to approve and outputs to review. Bouncing between Claude windows is confusing & tedious.

As someone a world away from the US implosion, this was one of the few articles about the tragedy I was moved to read. The part about how a mother sees their child hit hard, thinking of my late brother… Now I need to wash my face. 😭 Thanks, Kristen, for sharing.

I think about this a lot

massive boulder rolling downhill on a grassy slope, chasing several fleeing figures.

The boulder is labeled with:
∙ improving model capabilities
∙ emerging tools and practices
∙ serious actual issues exacerbated by LLMs
∙ increasing viability of local inference
∙ declining training and inference costs
∙ products impossible before LLMs
∙ multiplying power of plutocrats
∙ new digital abuse vectors
∙ using fossil fuels to sidestep decrepit energy grid

The fleeing figures shout:
∙ It doesn’t work!
∙ It can’t search the web!
∙ It produces bad code!
∙ I miss my ZIRP labor power and need something to blame
∙ it’s not inevitable
∙ it’s a bubble
∙ *it’s not inevitable*
∙ shame will solve it
∙ water! WATER!

This speech transaction from Cory Doctorow is a great set of skeptical but nuanced takes about AI. It’s more pro-worker than anti-AI, and it’s got me thinking about a few things… 🧵

all scientists can be classified according to just two variables: whether they're more mad physics or mad biology, and whether their hubris is in calling up what cannot be put down, or seeking to understand what no man was meant to know

we were definitely not meant to know about that worm with a hundred buttholes, for instance

Any #ClaudeCode users on my feed? I’ve been working on an MCP this weekend to provide a range of refactoring operations, notably including move function, rename file & folder, which I’ve not seen other LSP/MCP packages do. Anyone interested in this? Why / why not? Should I open-source it?
