20 minutes and 3 rabbitholes later, i have finally looked up the definition of "cockade", which was the only thing I picked my phone up for. Pretty sure it's worse than the doorway effect :)

Getting around to some graphic novels over the break. Digging Black Hole by Charles Burns. May finish in a sitting.

I need a term for that late-yak-shave feeling: you've gotten ~used to persisting on incredibly small doses of accomplishment and suddenly multiple large parts are ready to slot into place with minimal additional effort. After months/years of accomplishment drought, it's accomplishment monsoon.

Should make a bot that rewrites articles that mention Musk to use his fauxnouns

Enjoying this paper about the language we use to describe what LLMs are doing (shared by @[email protected]) https://arxiv.org/pdf/2212.03551.pdf https://i.imgur.com/S9Fzoxh.png

Anyone interested in nix, shell, or markup+documentation? Debating whether to discuss any of the OSS work I've been doing the past few years.

Spotted an interesting use of passwordless telnet as a connection test in Heroku's docs. It's been so long since I've seen it *recommended* for anything :) https://i.imgur.com/db7G8Ts.png

Talked w/ someone who asserted that they'd experienced ego death caused by having to re-do significant amounts of PhD work due to faculty churn. I was aware of the concept, but hadn't ever heard someone claim it beyond some drug stories. Have you experienced what you think of as (non-drug) ego death?

Last year I went to Stinson Beach for a year-delayed reception for a pandemic wedding. Guy who rented the venue accidentally double-booked and all he could figure out was... his place in Mill Valley. The redwoods infected my default process

I feel like I shouldn't be quite the same person here. Not really sure what that means yet though.
