I get so many of these weirdo slop infinite song YouTube ads for basic ass drop shipped trash, I’m either going to finally pay for YouTube premium or delete YouTube and hey, why not, delete my Google account too.

I love this spot. The speed limit is 25 when school is in session, otherwise the speed limit is 25.

From a community slack channel about ai. If any part of OpenAIs projections assume this guy is going to go from paying $600 to $88k, these businesses are...well, look, he's not going to pay that.

wanted to see my overall codex spend over 3 months…. approximately $88k raw token value (20B tokens) for $600

VisitIndy has paid Google to show me this woman’s picture many hundreds of times over the last few months, and I’m not any more likely to visit Indy than before.

I also think these people are like 6 to 9 months behind in a world that is changing super fast. Code generation has been the tip of the spear for actual business value creation and the economics are not obviously workable. Anthropic just made a pricing change that'll have a real cooling effect.

"Microsoft canceled its internal Claude Code licenses this week after token-based billing made the cost untenable, even for a company with effectively infinite cloud resources. Uber's CTO sent an internal memo warning the company burned through its entire 2026 AI budget in just four months. American AI software prices have jumped 20% to 37%, and GitHub (owned by Microsoft) is dropping flat-rate plans for usage-based billing across its products."

Idk what an Indianan is, but good for them I guess

Text from a CNN article quoting Rodric Bray, with the word “Indianan” highlighted. The text:

Indiana Senate President Pro Tempore Rodric Bray (R), who is not up for reelection but has been hit with Trump’s ire, told CNN on Monday that he has “no regrets” about his opposition, saying Indianans are “not going to base that decision on other states.”

Killer captcha from Greek’s today. Yes my man, I agree, we are fgnup

A captcha with the letters FGNUP, which of course, read out loud, reads like “fuckin up”

In one move @wfyi.bsky.social has lost 20 years of brand equity with me, I had planned to reduce my sustaining membership and now I'll be canceling it entirely. TBC, they let you _increase_ it via the online portal, but you have to call to reduce it.

As a person who makes software, I have complicated feelings about the prediction that the robots are going to eat all the software. Then I interact with the some software, and I'm like, idk, maybe the robots can do it better. (This is from my 4th and best payment experience of the day)

It absolutely was the best spot for downtowners, but also, PSA: there's a drop-off in the little parking lot just north of the Center Township Trustee Building.

Shaping up to be a really solid technology day over here in Tony Town. Internet connection at the office is terrible and they claim its just me, gmail won't load in the browser with an ominous "temporary error", claude is intermittent, Slack won't let me switch to a different org. Good view though.

This is so incredibly lame. I am deeply embarrassed just looking at it, I can’t possibly imagine having had any part in making it.

I really love the ruby language, and much of that love comes down to how good the stdlib is, and Enumerable in particular. This is so expressive and readable!
