BumpMesh by CNC Kitchen Add displacement textures to STL, OBJ, and 3MF models directly in your browser. Preview, mask, bake, and export printable textured meshes locally. BumpMesh · bumpmesh.com Absolutely sick texture app from cnc kitchen. Like him I’ve spent a bunch of time attempting and failing to learn blender, I’m so glad someone else vibe coded out such a good app that can add texture to stls with basic masks and is the very basics of what you would want to add to 3d prints to make them interesting, I’m excited to use this for some real projects.

GitHub - kraanzu/smassh at terminaltrove Smassh your Keyboard, TUI Edition. Contribute to kraanzu/smassh development by creating an account on GitHub. GitHub · github.com smassh is the coolest monkeytype tui clone, its impressively accurate. Easy to install and run, all the same themes appear to be there and everything. maybe a good way to get a few reps in while agents are running these days.

What Happens When AI Stops Being Artificially Cheap The subsidy era is ending. Here danielmiessler.com I’ve been thinking about this for awhile and Daniel makes some great arguments here. Interestingly keeping inference cheap removes the incentives to make our tools better, help us choose the right model, lean on local models, open weight models. The frontier models are so affordable through subsidized subscription models why would you deal with anything less intelligent at this point. The tooling we use is not optimized for it, and why should it be.

External Link baty.net emacs config so bad he launch obsidian, YIKES! grantid I’m using obsidian currently on my phone, not for this post, but for journal entries while I’m away from my desk. Use this as a reminder that you can swim through murky waters with your dotfiles for awhile, but occasionally its good to do a clean up, pin it, put em in a docker image, have a good fallback to go to if shit really hits the fan. Iv’e been using https://github.com/waylonwalker/nvim-manager as part of my strategy for awhile now.

uv adds dependency cooldowns via #16814. Well needed feature in todays world, far from a guarantee, but its something.

Package Managers Need to Cool Down Today's LiteLLM supply chain attack inspired me to revisit the idea of dependency cooldowns, the practice of only installing updated dependencies once they've been out in the wild for a … Simon Willison’s Weblog · simonwillison.net 2026, finding the balance between fixed bugs and zero days. There is very unlikely ever a reason you need to be running bleeding edge packages in prod most package managers now support cool downs.

To Live In A World Without AI | Nic Payne I'm finding lately that I wish we could go back to pre-ChatGPT... A world without a code-gen easy button, where "easy" was LSP autocomplete, wher pype.dev We f& #ing said @pype, well f& #ing said. I think a lot of us are feeling this, we’ve pitched our brain into a bucket and we are no longer stretching it in the same way. We still work in similar ways of old, with new ways of turning off and saying yes a bunch of times. the best thing I can hope for is that as things get better we have fewer yes loops, and more architectural design debates and deep thoughts. But I fear deep thoughts are gone to the way of “research the leading 10 frameworks and pick the best one for this project.” and letting the clankers do the deep thinking. Its signing us up for a weird distopia. I think a lot of us wish we could undo what has happened and go back to actually understanding what we are doing, but the world has changed, and if you are building average shit, like the average person, using models trained on average people doing average shit you cant keep up anymore.

My Thoughts on Beads | Nic Payne [Steve Yegge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Yegge) is a pretty well-known individual in the tech field, having been around for a long time at some of the pype.dev I’m in step with @pype here, I really want beads to work for me, but my systems for infra/platform work are all over the place, not one repo. I’m considering trying the env var but idk if it fits my workflow. For now, similar to @pype, I am rocking my own home vibed solution that I’ve intentionally put little effort in and its working great and I expect it to be broken and not working with the latest harnesses and models within a few months anyways, cause there is no predicting this train.

paynepride dot com outage on vacation | Nic Payne The day after I leave for vacation I start getting SSL errors on every homelab service I host for myself and others. The culprit was my Cloudflare API token exp pype.dev oof, outage on the homelab during vacation, brutal. I can think of a couple of similar solutions to what @pype has done to tailscale in, but I’m not sure that I could do this remotely. On one hand I’m so glad that cloudflared just takes care of certs on the other hand this really brings a gap in my understanding of what the heck I would do if it were broken. An untested DR plan is not a DR plan. An untested backup does not exist.

Vibe coding is going so far into the news sphere now that Adam Savage even weighs in with perspectives from someone who has built a life around building things with his hands, keeping up with new making techniques, discovering old techniques as they combine with new. He talks about 3d printing reviving his love of the pantograph as one automation technique eases the most difficult part of another.

Reddit reddit.com This is a fantastic progression through kuberentes concepts. From running a pod, to making it resiliant, holding secrets, accepting traffic, and autoscaling.

More Details Than You Probably Wanted to Know About Recent Updates to My Notes Site I shipped some updates to my notes site. Nothing huge. Just small stuff. But what is big stuff except a bunch of small stuff combined? So small stuff is… blog.jim-nielsen.com I love the level of thought that Jim has put into these changes and making sure that urls don’t change. I’ve got a big change in flight to my main site and this is one of the reasons that I’ve been sitting on it so long. I want to make sure urls arent broken, redirects work as they should, and there are no 404’s from existing urls. Currently the new version only exists on a separate deployement https://go.waylonwalker.com/ I also added the ability to “shuffle” between posts. This is mostly for myself. I like to randomly jump through notes I’ve published in the past for reoccurring inspiration Love this idea and have it on my new site already as well, and have really enjoyed using it by pressing it a dozen or so times over the course of a few sessions. It highlights that I have too many posts like stars and thoughts and I should do some weighting to main posts. mine is at https://go.waylonwalker.com/random/

Notes – 06:34 Mon 23 Mar 2026 Notes – 06:34 Mon 23 Mar 2026 dbushell.com · dbushell.com Does anyone think fast-code will continue to pay the same salary? The answer isn’t to switch your brain off during your McCode shift and write a poem after work. Your job will be replaced by a Banglasdeshi slop-shop if AI improves (which is inevitable, apparently). Possibly the same sweatshop that loomed my £3 T-shirt. The Luddites didn’t accept their fate so easily. David has some good points here, but I’m feeling the opposite direction a bit. Execs have always liked keeping the PM’s and the people steering the ship close by and were willing to farm out more and more grunt work. It feels like we are in a weird phase where there used to be a big group of people paid to write code. A few of them are exceptionally good at it and will remain. There will be a need for these people everywhere. Somehow we still need people hand editing assembly code optimizations, fortran, and cobol today. Those industries largely moved on, but a few great ones remain. I think this fast-code slop factory is going to be a short forgotten time in history, but no one yet knows what’s next. We are all waiting to find out.…
