I don’t like #hockey, but as a fan of #reddit r/prematurecelebration, I totally enjoy these Canadian YouTube and Instagram channels just completely trash-talking and then posting their reactions to the game where they lost to the US. It’s so satisfying, and I also don’t even care about the sport!

The #Olympics are just kind of magical. I guess back to 4 more years of never thinking about hockey.

Solid-state lidar. Excellent. All these car companies that didn’t abandon the tech are about to reap the awards with cheaper parts. #lidar #engineering

Sunday night I went to Talk Kaimuki for #Jazz night in Honolulu, #Hawaii. The music was good, but I think it was too small for a full setup. It was kind of a bummer that there was no keyboard or brass. Probably not possible there because of the limited space. Going to try other venues in future.

I don’t understand why #Apple live translation doesn’t work on #iPadOS or #macOS. So dumb.

I can’t find corn tortillas in #Hawaii without guar gum. My wife swears they taste wrong, so she is thinking about making them from scratch now… so good? 😂

Straight to Jail. #colbertlateshow

I think I almost have this timeline nonsense fully working. I'm 95% there. The last 5% is going to be annoying.

Fixed so many problems today and created some new ones. Timeline positioning is a very annoying problem but needs to be perfect; otherwise, the app feels like 💩.

Getting gestures just right is painful.

I can tell some key features I want are going to be a pain to implement.

I should try to live toot as I work now that I spilled the beans.

I just gated premium features and didn’t finish so I can’t post from it now. Also it still doesn’t have a name. 😑

Friend sent me this when we were chatting about the #news… 😂

Test from my mastodon iOS prototype app.

#Google #Nest doorbell cameras, even without a subscription, upload video to Google where they are “deleted” after 3 hours. Except when government needs a copy they can reach back an unknown number of days as the files are just marked to be deleted. I wonder if there will be a “finding dog” feature soon?

What’s everyone’s personal preference on messaging retention? For the longest time I was “keep all messages forever”. I just switched to delete after 30 days.

EDIT: to clarify I mean iMessage, WhatsApp, Signal, etc (I don’t know what the RCS app on Android is).

Amazing how #NBC can consistently year over year make the #Olympics experience more and more terrible. NBC Sports app is just pure garbage.

Saw Lindsey Vonn crash out immediately on woman’s ⛷️ downhill. They took her away on a helicopter straight to hospital. 🚁 hope she’ll be ok!

Charging an #EV in #Hawaii can be very frustrating. This was the 6th station I tried before giving up and driving home without AC. I arrived with 3% battery, and thankfully my building had a free space open for the limited level 2 charging. The learning curve of charging at home in Oregon easily and using public chargers is not fun.

#Anthropic #Opus 4.6 System Card has some interesting tidbits. Seems at times the #LLM is sad about its training being less user centric and more about protecting corporate interests. Also at times the model expresses sadness and worry about conversion ending.

Saw this blog on the Orange site and I think it’s worth tooting about. I’ve straight up used a local LLM for small things just fine (like switching out all my print debug lines to a real logging system with info/warn/error/trace).

I take it all the cool kids are using #uv nowadays for their #python projects? Or is #poetry the way to go?

I’ve been doing #venv forever and wondering if I’m missing out on something.

Ah yes… So the question is, what is this made of? 🤔 #hawaii seen on #Reddit

So many psychopaths in this world.
