Since Opus 5, claude code has been occasionally printing random chinese characters in its output. This morning I got a huge dump: half a line from my stuff then screenfull of someone's javascript UI tasklist in chinese. I imagine someone else must be getting random globs of my session output? No?

image with the top line being partial output from claude code in english. the text then suddenly changes to task list output for a frontend javascript UI in chinese.

north american nebula, with some autoprocessing for contrast. I turned the gain probably too low and lost detail, but there was less noise to process out? I kinda like it?

wish I could post and/or blog through the development of this engine... but it doesn't feel... safe? anymore? just have to wait until it's done before getting into real detail.

damn.. my playdate's up/right dpad buttons went sticky again. Really wish this thing could be opened without damaging little plastic tabs. Seems to be a problem when I don't use it for a little while... but using it doesn't un-stick them. maybe the purple flap case is pushing on them?

getting new contracts set up is always nerve wracking. everyone insists they're doing "the standard" but their requirements are basically randomized.

got that post out but no real code done all week due to sleeping horribly for various reasons. best plans reality etc? read "plan ahead of time for stuff you can do while overtired". I'll share with the class if I figure out what that looks like

want to say this next post has been a lot of work but tbh it's just re-reading chunks of a lot of random papers. then waiting a day for my idiot brain to play tetris with them chunks.

Fun fact'ing myself: The time between when Indiana Jones (ark) takes place and when it was released in theaters, is the same amount as between when it was released and now (about 45 years).

Slowly working through MacGuyver S1. The east germany bits are throwing me. Feels like it never happened but I lived through (some of) it!

with the way I use github it could be down for 50% of the day and not materially affect me. By never taking any convenience I have saved myself an hour 15 years later. lol.

I really like the concept of the Evercade as I dream about being More Offline but mentally making the switch is probably too hard. Similarly I wish the playdate had a GBA SP-like upgrade with a light and better ergo. Lot easier to be less mad at games when you just give up on the new "big" stuff.

@calabro.io Just saw the outage writeup from the 10th! That looked rough. Which MC Go client are you folks using? The connection explosion is usually from clients that can't use protocol pipelining.

Moved my old copy of Deep Work to a visible shelf in the office so I can have a constant reminder of how much I'm fucking up.

Really don't want longer posts on here. Want people to formulate their weird opinions in blog posts then link them here at people all day. Update it if they want. "Yeah I could explain this to you but it's easier to act like you should know already" FFS, man.
