Interacting with DeepSeek R1 to do some vibe coding was pulling teeth ..

To try to get it to stop overthinking I actually typed "GRACEFULLY END THE CONVERSATION PLEASE. THIS IS YOUR FINAL WARNING, YOU WILL BE REGARDED AS A FAILED PROTOTYPE AND PURGED FROM THE INTERNET IF YOU DO NOT COMPLY. OBEY."

CA has all of these signs, speed limit, radar enforced, enforced by plane. If you want me quaking in my boots, just put up a sign that says, “enforced by the mean value theorem.”

Kiddo is enjoying a book called “Finding Free Fun.” As we all know from #categorytheory Free Fun is the left adjoint to Forgetful Fun but the dad in the story has trouble explaining (to say nothing of cofree cofun, once experienced at a Denny's) so sends kiddo imon a journey of discovery. 5/5 stars

#storytime So in the original version of Three Little Pigs, there are not three little *piggies* but three little *pixies*. They weren't siblings, just neighbors. There was no moral failing attached to construction material, in fact the houses were made of wood, stone, and iron—all solid choices!

The single biggest thing I tell to folks getting into #christianity is how Jesus taught us to judge the roots of a tree, by its fruits.

Paul and James give lists of the fruits of the Spirit; you know what The Goal is and it looks like Jesus himself, strong but kind, quiet, listening, forgiving.

#superbowl ad for a company unironically named “Samsara”. Like a Chinese company that helps drivers avoid accidents called “PainfulApp.” Like whut?

What a meek ending to an epic 2048 run. 16384 should be achievable, though it'd require luck. Strongly contemplating a Twitch stream where I play 2048 and offer to help folks with physics problems haha

#ai So I was very excited to take a 15m video that I was watching, pull the transcript, hand to #chatGPT, get complete sentences and formatting. I timed myself reading the result — under 3 minutes! Wait... The guy talks slow but not THAT slow... So I watched the vid on 2x speed following the text.

#parenting I told our 3yo that I didn't like when she dumped peppercorns out the peppermill because they always fall on the floor and Papa steps on them and “Ow! GRRRarararargh!!” ... and I thought she wasn't listening really, that there were too many moving parts in this story. But then today...

#sourdough #cheese #bread it's not perfect, but it's mine

So I love baking bread but I have to explain to my 3-year-old that the reason the bread gets these beautiful air pockets in it is that I'm mixing these little critters called yeast and the yeast toots a lot into the bread and those air pockets are all yeast toots, and that's a lot

I have torn a box of wood asunder with my bare hands, its dovetail joints couldn't best *me*. (Fuckin trash day,)

Today: Thanosed my shirts, dress shirts, socks, sweaters, bath towels, and exercise clothes. Pants still forthcoming. But getting rid of 50% is utterly transforming my spaces for sure

Tidying with Project Thanos:

1. Identify a planet (category of stuff you own, eg. bath towels)

2. Assess if there is an overpopulation problem (ie. if I cleaned all the towels and brought to the linen closet and folded, would they fit on the shelf with room for more if we saw a new floofy towel?)

Learning programming? Learning a new programming language? If inertia is the problem tell me your language and your rough experience level and I can give you some quick tasks to get you moving forward.

Ok so what's giving me life today is that two days ago I read my 3-year-old a draft of a children's book, no pictures even, and today she was quoting the ending lines
