This idea of prompts as a camera in ideaspace is very useful for coming up with prompts. It's put me in the mind of prompts as positioning a camera. I've spent a lot of time drone camering so thinking through a camera moving around in 3d space is one I'm really familiar with https://warpcast.com/vgr/0xd01c5a1a

I flew to a conference in San Francisco yesterday. Very fun / nostalgic to be back in the city.

Tried turning our Christmas card into an animated on with Runway AI and... it's amazing 😂 I'm glad video AI is recreating the mad dream world of early AI image generation https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OlcN70ULce2NIdcy6qeLUlBdzFPEo9g3/view?usp=sharing

Been making a load of the famous nytimes no knead bread every couple of weeks. It calls for using a dutch oven but a bread loaf is much more convenient for eating and tastes just as good.

The Cursor editor is a pretty brilliant way to learn Typescript — all the weird little squiggles I normally ignore I can just ask it to fix and it gives a nice little explanation of the issue & how to fix it https://cursor.sh/

One of the funniest phenomenons is salty backend engineers trying to complain about web development. There's a whole legion of them who go at it whenever they can on hacker news and elsewhere. I get that it's hard to jump in an unfamiliar environment but no, for them, it's actually the incredibly bad tools' fault

The album Madras by Sofia Kourtesis has gotten a lot of playtime the last month. Favorite new electronic dance album in a long time — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4LNA-JZQeo

Good ChatGPT experience — was creating a list of categories of software engineering concerns. I fed that into chatgpt and told it to expand it and add more subcategories and it did a bang up job. Results get a lot better if you provide a more detailed initial template

My big holiday read this Thanksgiving was "A Deepness in the Sky Novel" by Vernor Vinge. Loved it. It's a prequel to A Fire Upon the Deep which I also loved. Next up on my Vernor read list is the Across Realtime series & his short stories (there's another short story "The Blabber" in the same universe as ADITS).

Something I just realized is quite different about me than most. I've never been a "fan" really of anything. I've never had a "hero" properly speaking. I like things of course but it's always an analyzed liking and not a full-throated embrace. So I both like more things than many people but also lack their intensity

The lack of fresh leaks over the last 24 hours suggests they're seriously talking to each other

I have to say — after the high drama of openai's implosion over the weekend, my monday morning tasks feel more mundane than normal.

The new Ghostty terminal is excellent — https://mitchellh.com/ghostty — still in private beta (it's open source but gated access right now to keep bug reports to a manageable pace). Hang out on their discord to get an invite. Coming from Kitty — Ghostty is just as fast & is much more "native" (i.e. native emoji)
