      Whenever I finish producing a new module in my courses, I create some cover art for it. Pretty happy with how this one came out. 😄

      This is one of the most annoying parts of LLM development hype. There’s a weird push that LOC is a good signal but the underlying code doesn’t matter coming from people who should be smartest to know better (or are pushing the narrative for selfish reasons).
      
      The opposite is and always has been true

      Do you buy the narrative of LOC as a sign of productivity?

      Good morning, friends! Today is the day. My very first Yappy Hour stream! Hang out in the chat, be silly, vent, make friends - it’s super chill.
      I know it’s a holiday for some, but if you’re around, come on over! 🥰

      Got my site all transferred over to @blento.app, and its looking great!  DNS is likely still propagating, but hopefully soon f15y.com will work, and until then you can check it out at blento.app/did:plc:fzi6... .  Also wondering- is there a way to lock it in dark mode?

      Every now and then I think about the time @hazelweakly.me hinted that the reason why I've never been diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum despite a few clinical assessments is that I'm so accustomed to masking that I can't unmask for the assessment and I get butthurt all over again.

      A tale of two sales: If you're looking for an SSD, wait until next year. I bought a Sammy 2TB T7 in November for $180. The same SSD is now $750. Same item. Same store.
