Trying to do a decent job at cable management in these low voltage panels.

Put the misting pump in the attic but the spigot up there is leaking so I had to run a hose around to the other one for now.

Earlier I wrote this post: The worst thing about Claude and ChatGPT is that you can't get them to work with you the way you want them to. They always run off and do the things I asked about. So if I say "what if the middle column must be at least 600 pixels wide? What I wan...

Linda Yaccarino steps down as CEO of Twitter / X. No hint of ill will in her goodbye tweet, but Grok losing its mind this week probably wasn’t the ideal backdrop for a graceful exit. I can only imagine how frustrating this role was with Elon Musk micromanaging it.

Stephen Hackett blogs about FireWire’s history and importance. It reminds me that I first used FireWire with a third-party PCI card, right before Macs had FireWire… or before I could afford a new Mac? Doing hobby animation and video editing, I used it with a MiniDV deck, and then from that to VHS.

Usually I avoid quoting something from the end of an article, but this line is a great summary from John Gruber’s latest on Daring Fireball about Jeff Williams retiring:

Six years after Jony Ive’s departure, today’s announcements leave it less clear than ever whose taste, ultimately, is steering the work of the company into the future.

Good rundown today by Ben Thompson on Apple’s dilemma of whether to outsource a next generation Siri to OpenAI or Anthropic. I’m curious about private cloud compute. Will they limit it to only Apple chips, or port the private cloud to architectures that are already running bigger frontier models?
