Claude initially refused to rank current NFL broadcasters by how annoying they were., because it would be mean. I basically said “oh, come on”… And then Claude enthusiastically did what I asked, with no punches pulled, with a tier system and a paragraph explaining how each announcer was annoying.
An NFL broadcaster whom I (correctly) consider to be one of most annoying is staying in the room next to mine in SF. Walls are paper-thin. He’s constantly singing at the top of his lungs when he’s not doing radio hits.
I may have been hit by a trolley and gone to hell. Who’s to say?

Tried adding “ask me if you have any questions?” or variations thereof to my Claude Code prompts. It seemed to work well when I wasn’t sure how to specify what I wanted.

This turned out to be much easier than my initial evaluation. I wanted to climb it swinging from one arm to the next like a monkey. Looking forward to refining my technique on this route. youtube.com/shorts/IQqKH...
Can’t wait to try this again

The key to dealing with a huge snowfall is to start clearing it while it’s easy to move.

What a day in #Pittsburgh today, as the city is in the middle of a storm getting more snow than we've had in over 15 years. I was out around 5:00 before the roads got really bad, and it was amazing to see the snow falling on the city. I'll have so many to share, but these are some early favorites.

Did not anticipate more than a week of extreme cold when I spec’d the 400w pond heater. Good luck goldfish.

TIL: Unifi Cloud Gateway Fiber’s default WAN port has broken Flow Control. My upload speed was 25% of my download speed. Remapping WAN1 to one of the 2.5Gbe LAN ports fixes the issue.

In case anyone is trying to install Claude Code in WSL 2 on ARM64, the standard installer appears to work, but fails to install the claude binary. Use the npm install method instead: sudo npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

Back from getting a filling and the side of my face is simultaneously numb and itchy. Scratching does nothing. The itch just keeps getting harder to ignore.
