Why I’m sharing this link…

This is such a cool site. It parses lex’s transcript and sets the speed for lex and the guest at different speeds, so you can get through his super long episodes quicker without sacrificing the guest responses.

I Make My Own Field Notes (and it costs almost nothing)

This is the first time I’ve seen or heard of Perry Daniels, I really like his editing style, it reminds me of good eats; the tone, tempo, the resesarch, the odd camera angles.

I found this video very inspiring to go make something, My wife likes to keep field notes and sometimes has one for a few different tasks at the same time. It would be so cool to make her some custom ones for each.

Super creative notebooks that Perry made.

The use of the corner rounding punch makes it sooo clean

They hate it. They hate prompting, managing agents, reviewing. They want it to go back to the way it was. They're realizing it's never going back." loading=“lazy”>

Nate Berkopec (@nateberkopec) on X So many people are about to self-retire from our industry as a result of LLMs completing changing how coding is done. They hate it. They hate prompting, managing agents, reviewing. They want it to… X (formerly Twitter) · x.com [1]

The world has changed it’s now different and there is no going back. You get to choose to adopt it or not. You get to choose your attitude. But at this point the agents write most average code, better than the average developer, faster than the average developer, and the average developer sucks at steering it. Over time we will get better at steering them, they will continue to get better at breakneck speeds for a long time. We will either learn restraint or they will get better at making that choice not to boil the ocean for us.

I really do get this feeling of the self-retire. It’s so easy to let agents do everything, and it so hard to watch the world turn to slop around us. No one can simply answer a question in a meeting or an interview without referr…

I Tried The OS Everyone Says Will Replace macOS

It’s crazy how many people are discovering linux here and are like why would I use this, oh it has tiling, it has workspaces. No shit so does every other good desktop environment that’s has came out in the last 10 years.

All of these reviews are missing the polish that you don’t recognize until you have done it by hand. Full disk encryption setup with noting more than a password. Agents property use pkexec to ask for sudo permissions with a message saying what they are running. Out of the box I get snapshots and boot into snapshot. If I like using agents and I add an API key, I get a crash agent when any application fails if I choose to click the notification to have the agent fix my issue. Themes has polish that no other distro can claim. There are many good looking themes that automatically theme so many if the applications.

You can do all of this yourself and maybe you should if you really like Linux and want to understand.

The magic is how it is all assembled. The community being built to make it work on so many different devices, with a taste for speed and design.

A quote from Linus Torvalds

simonwillison.net

Will models become more stubborn as we use them more and feed us using them as long running agents where we simply ask for what seems to be an impossible task to be spit out by the all mighty clanker with all of the time in the world to try every way possible, add obnoxious amounts of telemetry, and somehow digest the flood of data it brings back?

Touch dishwasher controls that don't work with wet hands should be illegal, I'll be starting mine with dried on s**** now.

politics in linux #

IDK if I agree with DHH on politics, have not gone looking for his views, dont really care to. I can 100% get behind leaving politics out of work, foss, linux. Until he starts dropping that omarchy money on some non-oss linux manner I'm with it. I dont think there is a world in which you can completely disassociate yourself with everyone that has a different viewpoint than yourself. There will always be things that simply don't align with your lived experiences and that is okay.

when did openai bring back the hourly limit #

Here I am cranking away with luna==max== tokenmaxxing on my **$20** plus sub trying to keep 3 running around the clock to burn those precious tokens when open ai comes back and re-introduces the 5 hour limit, I just got used to rocking only a weekly limit.

second brain slop is dumb #

The second brain hype train of people looking at fancy graphs in obsidian of the content their clanker wrote for them is top tier cringe. If you actually want to get better at anything you need to actually put some effort in with your first brain.

agentic engineering takes discipline #

Agents allow so much scope creep it is harder to say no than it is to say yes, and let the model just pop in a new feature for you alongside you current pr with almost no effort on your befalf, staking up so much validation work for you to do that it becomes very difficult to merge. We are all learning this discipline right now.
