Feels good to be back in the part of the codebase I can be more productive in.

We should just have Techaro's Anubis be an HTTP standard that browsers implement instead of all this captcha as a service BS.

Can we stop the "prove you're human" checks now that vision models can solve them better than some humans and standardize on a hashcash HTTP challenge/response so we can mitigate the scraping asymmetry while ditching the surveillance JS bloat? Please?

LOL. Someone made it so you could invite a person to a project with the "Blocked" role. Imagine.

ADHD meds are more effective when paired with old school gabber mixes. #ProTip

So pissed off I'm switching back to a regular keyboard so I can rage type faster.

Slop devs don't respect api stability

@TetroniMike I think their management would need to get their head out of the AI industry's ass before they start making actual changes like this, but we can still dream :P

@TetroniMike Brave kinda went in that direction, so did some of the Web Monetization stuff a while ago. I think the crypto influence kinda poisoned the efforts though. I think it'd be cool to have something like this. More likely that Google would add something proprietary for it in their browser IMO.

playing MORSE to learn how to write morse code. Seems fun so far.

Been revisiting local models again. The state of the art for it's size is apparently MiniCPM5 right now. It can do very basic code related tasks but it's still way too stupid to do actual tasks. Might be enough for my "speech to code to speech" idea though?

The hardest part of software development is dependency management. Whatever funky language features you like or hate are secondary to being able to actually run the code.

Seriously, every dependency is a time bomb waiting to screw your builds. Forking a dependency for your project? Good luck keeping anything together after everything shifts in a year or two.

I think of LLMs as tools that decompress a few words into more words. E.g. instructions into tool calls. My goal is to use as little power and as few words as possible to make it output the words I want faster than I can type it. It's like a keyboard / search tool but with a bunch more shortcut options.
