Windows didn’t want to update and the next day Microsoft is promoting MegaClippy and I’m suddenly real happy Windows wouldn’t update.

I like LLMs. I just hate everything about how they’re being pushed, who’s pushing them, and how the pushers are acting like multi-dimensional markov will solve the world’s problems.

Was about to snark about some BS I saw but then I remembered that snarkily sharing BS is still sharing BS.

Need to remind myself about the three sieves: is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind?

but uh i will allow myself two out of three for any given share

Reading “Mazes for Programmers” by Jamis Buck and it’s good but noticing that I’m typing the code instead of really thinking about it.

Happens often enough with this brain that I have a fix: implement the logic in one or more other languages as I read.

@snipe @thegibson good to check. Wouldn’t want to be going around enthusing about Snippety.
