Wow! I just discovered OrbStack. It's amazing. For those of you who, like me, are late to the party, it's a drop-in replacement for Docker Desktop on the Mac. It's super fast.

I asked Siri “What is the speed of sound in knots?” and it directed me to the site below. I’m not sure if it is AI slop, but it is not “education”. educationisaround.com/what-is-a-sp...

I gave Claude Code a go last night -- it's surprisingly good.
I let it loose on a Rust/C/C++ project I've been working on and gave it a number of small refactoring tasks.
The changes that it made were **exactly the ones that I would have made myself.** 1/n

TIL something about normal search engines versus LLM search.

Me: I’m looking for a widget *without* feature X.

Google/Amazon: Here are 200 widgets with X.

LLM: Here are five widgets without X.

And 3 of them didn’t have X and 1 link was broken.

Normal search engines are not good at negatives.
