new political compass

while i'm out here testing AI agent tools, I also downloaded Warp for windows. I typed in winget install, and warp opened without me taking any further action. It shows a menu option called "explore git history in wellington", but I haven't typed any commands into Warp yet, which means that it

it's running each MCP server in its own separate windows terminal window. why?

here we go

they've improved the vscode UI in a couple of places, which is nice. when they imported my extensions it seems like they did not import information about which extensions are supposed to be disabled, which is not great

am testing out vibe coding with cline. it kinda works, but it seems to have issues reading the output of commands that it runs in the terminal sometimes, leading it to get stuck in a loop:

Created a new stripe account b/c I'm testing something related to Stripe for hCaptcha. In their onboarding, they have a hero card front and center with a link to open your Gmail account to a search for emails from Stripe. That's very cool attention to detail.

just downloaded deepseek-r1:14b onto my laptop. it generates tokens just as fast as claude does. the answers it gives are only a little bit worse (i think CoT helps a lot with this). and it's not rlhf'd to avoid giving me useful answers when i ask about hacking and such. this is incredible

@pfrazee.com idk if you’re in charge of the video feed feature but i think this is a bug

oops

my laptop looks like it’s made of metal but it’s very clearly not metal as i just found out after pounding it when i lost a game

The guy on the phone directed me to visit this website, so I dropped the phone call, logged into Microsoft via microsoft.com, and then changed my password for the first time since 2015.

As I was ringing up the "support" center on the phone, I was reading the headers of the email, as I do whenever I'm uncertain about its authenticity. As far as I could tell, all of the domains involved were owned by Microsoft (intulon.com is my email server's domain)

Woke up to a phishing attack this morning. A rather convincing email claimed that I was about to be charged nearly $400 for Microsoft Copilot. I don't want Copilot, and I do want to keep my $400, so I called the number, even though the capitalization and punctuation were off.
