Oh! Btw... As of yesterday (2026-08-04) ... nodejs_compat is enabled *by default* for a new Cloudflare Worker deployments using compat date 2026-08-04 or later.

Crappy morning. I find LLMs really beneficial in certain areas of my life, but a lot of people think AI use of any kind is the devil. While this is irritating, what frustrates me more is knowing the real problem is the companies trying to shove this crap up every orifice of our lives. I'm so tired.

my big takeaway from the Hank Green thing is to note how incoherent the entire discourse is there are categories of computing which are Pure, and which Hank is free to use but other categories of computing which Hank cannot use if a data center hosts the algorithm that promotes his video, fine…

Nothing makes me put the speaker into the bozo bin more than claims of 100x productivity. 100x is a lot! You get done in one week what you used to get done in *2 years*? I… have some doubts

Just in case you still use any Basecamp products, DHH is crashing out about his AI product gently pointing out that it’s bad for him to have extermination fantasies about the Roma people.

DHH tweet saying “This is why we need competition and open weights in Al. Imagine a world where only Anthropic sat as the moral arbiter of acceptable speech. Fucking ridiculous. (Grok of course did it no problem, same too with Kimi K).” when presented with his blog post using a slur about the Roma people.

The Squamish climbing gym is kinda funny in that, on nice weather days it’s a ghost town, but as soon as there’s a little rain it is reliably packed full Everyone just really loves getting outside here 🥰

Pondering the commonalities between 3d printing and AI coding - people kinda go a little nuts / obsessive when they first get into it - at first they use it pretty much solely to make accessories for the hobby, or silly toys - output can be useful, but may not stand up to real world use
