I take my implied criticism back, Svelte is cool! I projected my disdain for people who shit on React for all the wrong reasons. Different tools make different mistakes hard to make, and I prefer to err on the side of correctness in exchange for maybe speed and bundle size. But the tradeoffs exist.

The new llama.cpp webui is broken for me, and I don't know if I should blame AI or svelte for this. I saw some store refactors and now one thing is changing multiple things. Classic inconsistency problem. I know everyone loves to shit on React but you don't get bugs like these with it.

My AI enthusiasm ebbs and flows. Today I’m realizing that some of my perceived productivity increase is an illusion. I merely moved some of the effort from writing code to having to micromanage a coder.

We've recently started freestyle dancing every day for an hour to a playlist of our favorite songs. It's so much fun and makes exercising more approachable! Also makes all the soreness and sweatiness afterwards worth it :D

It's so hard to find a sewing machine upgrade All (?) new machines are computerized, but as a software engineer I trust them less than mechanical ones

The longer I’m in the industry the more aware I am that everything is application code, including: Infrastructure definitions CI/CD pipelines Instrumentation, dashboards, alerts Feature flags, A/B tests Changelogs, feature requests, help center Admin tasks, role assumption And even more!

DeepSeek came up with a game changer model. DeepSeek V4 Flash (GA) jumped near the top of the list with 50 points AA score, but smaller and cheaper than anything in the same level. I plan download Q2 quants over the night and give it a try it tomorrow. artificialanalysis.ai/articles/dee...

DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 scores 50 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, 10 points above previous DeepSeek V4 Flash

DeepSeek releases DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731

When I decided to invest in running local models, my expectation was that these models would get better and I could survive a rug pull when cloud providers decide it’s not worth giving theirs away for free or cheap. I honestly didn’t expect this to happen this soon.

My NixOS adventures are going great! I have a Pi-Hole (actually crab-hole) setup for DNS level adblocking that’s set up via Tailscale so no client setup is necessary. Also set up hostapd so I may end up selling my Wifi router if it works out. NixOS is so simple and liberating!
