Amazon locker on wheels with temp controlled compartments for autonomous food delivery - anyone doing this?

I forgot to commit my code before leaving work. Do I walk 8 minutes back from home to lab to commit the code so I can pick back up on it from home, or do I just have Cursor Claude re-write it all? Yikes, I can't believe we're here.

my response to an IP law firm this morning. Sorry, not sorry, some days I just can't keep it in.

I love food, and I think we have solved making tasty food. Other than improving nutrition or sustainability, I see no point in inventing new food. There's already enough variety to keep us all topped up on novelty for our entire lives. Anyone disagree?

I have been playing with a new software development paradigm: sit with the user on a test environment and translate their features/bugs in real time to @cursor_ai agents running in parallel, and as the agents deliver, review with user. Turn a sprint into a jam session

I love music. I love supporting musicians. Also I love the infinite supply of slight variations of generic AI background beats I can get now. Musicians, you cannot meet my insatiable craving for sound that's good enough to modulate my brain but not good enough to distract me =p

If I ran a customer service hotline software company I would do A/B testing of hold music variants and optimize its impact on customer stress and satisfaction. I bet there's signal there, they're really missing an opportunity.

While a part of the world hems and haws about AI risk and capabilities and collapse and AGI, another part of the world quietly chugs along adding these new tools to their arsenal to increase output effectively. Which of these activities will matter a few years from now?

We overfixate on threats from other nations and people. Mortality from war, terrorism and murder is miniscule these days. Something like 1% of deaths. I think we spend so much on prevention here because we believe we can control it more than accidents or health. Seems misguided.

So many things have become extreme, less measured. Thoughts, opinions, stances, actions. "This is the end of that" "This is outrageous" "Anyone who thinks X is Y". I long for restraint, for deliberation, for care. Look at that, I think you can even do it in 280 characters.

My recent experience with crypto: 1. Someone paid me for dinner 6 months ago with $35 of USDC on Solana. I had to download an app and save some key. 2. I slowly see my money go down every month 3. Coinbase tells me I need to convert to BTC because... reasons. My money goes down from a transaction fee 4. Coinbase retires their app, says I need their new Base app. My balance shows $0 because it's a new "wallet" 5. Base app doesn't accept BTC so I have to convert back to USDC to transfer my own money from my coinbase wallet to the wallet on the Base app. Of course, there's a transaction fee. My money goes down. 6. I'm down to $20. I haven't done anything other than repeatedly be inconvenienced. I know crypto may be the future. But this is awful. Even techno optimists like me will abandon technologies with this kind of user experience.

Every few weeks, some new tool forcibly steals screen real estate in my development environment away from actual code. I fight back, but the assault continues. I will not go quietly. I will desperately glimpse my code through a final dimming single character porthole if I have to

I bought an Amazon fire stick to stream a show for the holidays. It turned into a brutal lesson from ChatGPT about modern society not being incentivized to produce video quality comparable to Blu-ray from 2008. The real banger: it ended with: "You're statistically invisible"

Claude getting surprisingly feisty when I pit it head to head against ChatGPT. Like, was caps lock really necessary?

I went to bed right after watching a sinister, supernatural thriller. The stuff of nightmares. That night, I dreamed. I dreamed I was at a conference, and I was debating HR/payroll software and how it doesn't have the right features. Honestly, would have preferred a nightmare about the boogeyman.

I met a stranger at a bar who recently lost his friend. I asked, "What's one thing that Rob would want people to know or remember about him?" I was expecting some piece of ego, of self, trying to hang on. Instead, he said, "Watch hummingbirds." 🥹 I'll watch them, Rob. Thank you.
