Saw a car transporter loaded up today, in the rain. Super low tolerance for error. Right next to a power line at that!

GPT5 was telling me this too… API crashed out in a weird way trying to end itself in an endless loop

Wow, gpt5 really is pretty rough. I have it parsing uk addresses out of a highly structured csv, and if it runs into a malformed post code it descends into this recursive stop madness until infinity.
Feels like we are pretty damn far from AGI. This is basically just matching a regex

Huge upgrade in the shop- made a proper workbench for the first time ever. Amazing how much fits inside and it’s great to have a laminate top. Working on drawers now. The whole thing had removable casters on it so that it’s movable.

Really loving how the database design theory academics couldn’t even normalize their own damn normal form naming

Love this solution to closet lighting. The switch is in the door, light is on when the door is open. No finicky motion sensor stuff

A lot of my woodworking recently had been very practical. Very happy with these new basement shelves I made. Three floors of 4x8 plywood gives quite a bit of storage space

I bought a rotring pencil for making precise marks in my furniture work. Unfortunately it seems to have bent very slightly right at the end, so it often snaps the lead when it’s pushed through. I bent it back, but I hope you have more luck with the pens!

It’s fun to do fine woodworking, but it’s also a joy to quickly knock something out of plywood, screws, and a little edge banding :)

Top carpentry trick I learned last year was to make marks like this - place pencil at measurement and do two tails. Almost impossible to mess up the middle this way rather than trying to make one precise perpendicular.
Come back with a square to extend it if you need.

Trying out a dead-reckoning approach to measuring and modeling rooms - each wall is just a length and angle from the previous. Makes it easy to walk around in order and just right down each length. The last segment is calculated automatically to close the volume. #threejs #architecture

Picked up a metal file cabinet thingy from the dump with a hunch that it might be useful … turns out it’s great at keeping track of which pieces came from the same board (to match grain and color for picture frames)
Too bad junk like this is only useful like 10% of the time 😅
