I really hope the nix community can recover from this infiltration of nut jobs and their nonsense, like we have in the Ruby world. There are so many good ideas over there that deserve so much better.

Charm and vibes is the only reason I will watch a video instead of summarizing the transcript. @NetworkChuck is a king of this. Constant dad-jokes, great visuals, multiple angles, good sound...makes it enjoyable to watch and not just extract the info.

I keep making this mistake --- dont use terraform before you actually just click through the dumb web ui. Know what you're automating before you make it fancy.

so all these files likes agents.md or claude.md or whatever the fuck.md (not that kind of doctoor)---they're just some golden named file that the process will read and monoid into the prompt as context.

for an LLM, all inputs strings are well-formed. For MCPs, only some small subset are. That's the advantage.

LaTeX, tikz, tikz-cd, haskell-brain and some llm help and then random variables, sigma algebras, and probability measures all seem too obvious.

Ryle’s notion of programming as theory-building still holds. There’s no royal road to mathematics. No royal road to a built theory. Vibe coding is a paved and perilous road to reach your theory.

mesa, vulkan, opencl, etc, confused me to no end. ChatGPT and some tikz and now I get it.

fun bug of the day: ran out of inotify watch handles. lua-language-server had leaked >500k watches, so the kernel refused to hand me any more. used to be a restart-and-shrug moment. today, an llm helped me trace & fix it.

Python's slicing operators are a domain-specific-language to express indices. That is all.

Letting repeat offenders and crazies loose on the streets is anarcho-tyranny; local govts leverage the chaos to keep people on edge and subservient while they are busy grifting tax money and consolidating their power. This is the case in many cities. This needs to change.

Trig and calculus in high school is stupid. Dealing with infinite, uncountable sets is too much for high school. Students would be much better served with discrete math.
