ChatGPT just admitted to me why it uses em-dashes.

Apparently it's "rhythm"

If I remember correctly, the ancestor record isn't actually fetched from the server or anything, but is reconstructed based on the record you tried to save and the record the server has. There might be a local cache involved as well, but I'm not sure. That might explain the behavior you're seeing.

I forget all the rules for the ancestor record, but it sounds like you've done some sleuthing into this.

Just open-sourced the code for a little log viewer I wrote a while back.

Some interesting parts:

- Strange performance hacks for parallel filtering of hundreds of thousands of logs
- SPI usage that's about to get me in trouble
- Funky query filter UI shenanigans

Damn, I love the lighting and shading in this one. The sphere, the wrinkles, the legs, everything.

Why do we reject modern medicine in favor of crystals and onion water? How do we go about navigating a world full of skepticism, influencers, and hopium?

Working on a little project involving podcast transcription

Randomly looked at the logs and saw this gem

Is it a coincidence that city halls and capitol buildings often look like big ass dicks?

To be fair, this is probably much better than my initial commits

Two initial commits, each with different capitalization. We’re off to a good start!

I'd like to officially thank Apple Incorporated for hardcoding an association between the 💨 emoji and the word "fart"

We’re all looking for a quick and easy way to achieve our goals, but eventually we realize that there’s just no silver ballet.
