Yeah, that's what sold us on an unloved, neglected rental property. That side of the house was almost solid wall when we bought it

Punching out walls and filling the house with windows seems like a great idea until it's time to wash them all. Day 2 of 5 or 6...

There are rumors bubbling up on Reddit that Central Arkansas water has not been fluoridated for several months Fluoride added to municipal water is a waste by product of fertilizer plants which rely on natural gas Know who's using lots and lots of natural gas right now? Data centers

I don't think it's impossible to stop them, but you need a stable uncorrupted government to do so. We mostly had that before Citizen's United legalized bribery

Working through a course in building AI agents Key points today: - Answers might not be consistent so write your own code if you need reliable answers - Agents don't reliably do math, write your own math functions and order agents to use them They're going to kill us all, but probably by accident

Wild run this morning. I ran into a pack of coyotes a half mile in, an eagle fishing on the river about 4 miles in, and a couple of wild pigs about a mile from home No photos because I am not a tourist, influencer or idiot.
Coyotes l, pigs and eagles on today's run.  I had noticed the rabbits and squirrels vanished last week

When you move your Garmin to a new phone you have to re-enable emergency alerts for falls and collisions. I tripped over a tree root, belly flopped-slid across some leaves and Garmin failed to notice. No harm to me other'n a slightly scraped knee, just FYI out there for Garmin users

LLMs/chatbots/agents are destroying so many paths people had to learn and "be noticed", and now having more money beats hard work even more than before. Genuinely don't know if there's a way back, even if the bubble pops there's a bunch of really capable Open Weight Models out there
A screenshot from a nitter/Twitter by user @Sirius_ (every second letter is replaced by a number) saying:
"i talked to a lot of people who played the defcon ctf finals to understand how llms affected them, both professionally and mentally.

i went in hoping to learn that human intuition still mattered. instead, ctfs in their current form as everyone saying is dead, players are forced to operate slot machines because anyone who refuses to token-max loses to those who do.

almost everything i learned, including how to learn, came from grinding ctfs. but the pipeline for developing that kind of skill and expertise now seems broken, juniors are rewarded for token-maxxing rather than going through the process of actually understanding things which is quiet sad and ctfs might not produce high quality security researchers any more.

this also has serious implications for people who can’t afford tokens. five years ago, i wouldn’t have been able to afford access to something like gpt-5.6, and I would have been locked out of the very competitions that helped me build my career. 

anyway these are questions i asked if interesting for anyone:

did they have fun?
almost everyone was unhappy. it has largely become slot-machine operating, if they refuse to use llms, they lose to teams that do. it is not there is no fun at all, playing with friends and competing was all fun just process of solving which is main part and it isn't fun.(please let me know if you had fun)"

One woman’s meth addiction was so bad, the only option left might have been brain surgery. Then a single session of noninvasive, focused ultrasound seemed to do what years of treatment could not.

Brutally hot and humid in Arkansas for the foreseeable future. Doing very slow, low zone (2,3) trail runs through the forest until fall
Very slow jog, through the forest, up and down a lot of hills

It's definitely a tiny bit cooler near the river
