@nelson.tech.lgbt.ap.brid.gy@livcomp more on-topic for us, did you see my recent post about doing multiagent Claude Code stuff? I think often about how my complex systems work in the 90s, including your class, prepared me to understand the agent systems of today in a unique way. Imagine if we had an LLM back then!
@nelson.tech.lgbt.ap.brid.gy@livcomp I find the reports about people "torturing" AIs disturbing. Not for the AIs, I don't think they are that conscious yet. But for what it says about the torturers. A big reason we treat animals humanely is for our humanity. Seems the same for AI. Torture degrades the torturer, even […]
@nelson.tech.lgbt.ap.brid.gy@peterb and yet it's a screenshot of the numbers. Show us your frocks!
@nelson.tech.lgbt.ap.brid.gyI've been doing my new projects with two AI agents: one to write the program, one to build a server to host it. And I've been relaying commands back and forth between the two. I just realized I could have one Claude Code session manage the other for me. I'm delighted to find it knows all about […]
@nelson.tech.lgbt.ap.brid.gy@david straight people should never wear sandals because foot fetishists exist.
@nelson.tech.lgbt.ap.brid.gy@gnomon I thought it was short! Was expecting a year wait. So far so good, it seems to work better than the Bazzite and Nobara systems I"ve set up for myself. They've dialed in the whole setup so HDR and screen resolutions just work.
@nelson.tech.lgbt.ap.brid.gyOn Sep 4 I placed an order for a Steam Machine (512GB with Controller). It arrived to me in California today. Nothing special, no pre-order or anything, just regular shipping time.
@nelson.tech.lgbt.ap.brid.gyThis was AI coded over a couple of half day sessions. A lot of the design came from the AI too. This is the first project where instead of giving precise instructions I asked Claude to come up with its own ideas. I still shaped it but it's a little unsettling how many good ideas the AI had. Like […]
@nelson.tech.lgbt.ap.brid.gyNew Nelsonsphere product: a page for all my book reviews. This started as Goodreads data but significantly improved in presentation, including neat controls for slicing and sorting.
@nelson.tech.lgbt.ap.brid.gy@robey there's various phone → desktop tools that can sorta do this, but without the automated copy and paste. Ironically KDE Connect refuses to actually forward the 6 digit codes flagging them as security sensitive :-(
@nelson.tech.lgbt.ap.brid.gy@gnomon oh wow, _25_. I read that as 2.5 and was wondering why bother with the upgrade. 25's a lot!
@nelson.tech.lgbt.ap.brid.gy@gnomon what's that gonna cost? Is 10GbE unreasonable?
@nelson.tech.lgbt.ap.brid.gyHappy update: the Nobara updater problem is fixed and it fixed the disk layout on its own. Also I cleared the cache and worked around the repo problem. Linux can fail in mysterious ways but often there are mysterious-but-effective fixes.
@nelson.tech.lgbt.ap.brid.gy@mwichary I saw your blog post how you like the Bojack Horseman gag about "peanut butter is one word". There's a whole subreddit for these found in the wild.
@nelson.tech.lgbt.ap.brid.gyFeeling a little entitled and grouchy about Nobara Linux today. It's a great distribution and a remarkable achievement from mostly one developer. But there's a sense that the update mechanism is brittle and can break systems. He launched something new last week where updates are deferred until […]
@nelson.tech.lgbt.ap.brid.gyEM Forster to his locked diary at age 46, in 1925: > Famous wealthy, miserable, physically ugly—red nose enormous, round patch in middle of scalp which I forget less than I did and which is brown when I don’t wash my head and pink when I do. Face in the distance—mirrors of Reform Club—is […]
@nelson.tech.lgbt.ap.brid.gy@bondolo I have a friend who runs a hat store and I see everybody wearing hats everywhere now
@nelson.tech.lgbt.ap.brid.gyExciting day: I've switched my blog to Flourish, a new static blog engine I cooked up with Claude. Many thanks to Blosxom for 25 years' faithful service. Details in this blog post.
@nelson.tech.lgbt.ap.brid.gyOne weird thing about working with Claude: I'm often losing track of the big picture and trusting the AI to keep notes for me. It has a working memory of big tasks we've deferred and how they fit together and it is regularly reminding me of the big picture I have a hard time holding in my head […]
@nelson.tech.lgbt.ap.brid.gySlack wanted me to go through these steps for each of the 4 Slacks I used to be logged into. I remembered if you start on the website there's an alternate login flow where you only have to CAPCHA and authenticate once. It shows me a list of 11 Slacks in random order, 4 of which I actually want […]
