Literally all of the Runway tutorials are like "How to change a character voice" and you click on it and the video says "Type 'changed the character voice'"

I bought a Humble Bundle of Android mobile games 10 years ago. Problem is they're 32-bit and won't run on my 64-bit phone. I asked Codex to decompile and recompile and I'm back in business!

The online gameplay API was decommissioned, so it removed those features. The phone has rounded corners and a front facing camera, so it adjusted the playable area.

Watching Silo. Enjoyed the books. Enjoy the show, but it succumbs to the same childish syndrome many other TV-MA shows do. It's like a kid just learned to curse and is so enamored with the power that he goes constantly, immediately to the most extreme curse word he can imagine.

I keep seeing pictures of a plane flying past the moon or the sun and I don't even know who is doing them or why because I just scroll by, but, I guess... thank you plane-moon-sun people!

Human consequences of coding agents

I’m both excited and unsettled by coding agents. They shift the focus from software to humans. I’m afraid of losing my identity and also excited by the opportunity.

We got a new knob and deadbolt for the front door. I bought a kit and rekeyed it. Fun, but if you attempt it, keep this video at hand youtube.com/watch?v=xoO04J8a…

The kit cost ~$80 at Lowes, which seems steep, but cheaper than a locksmith, and I can rekey more locks in the future!

This is a classic but literally the worst writing I've ever read. If you can suffer through it and extract some meaning, Peter Naur has some interesting points that are relevant to AI coding agents. Programming is not text production, but theory building. pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/Nau…

Our house in Toronto had this fancy glassed wine cellar, but we are not big wine drinkers. Anyways, it had good climate control so here is my rack cellar.
