The best part of the new and improved and redesigned Sonos app is how it doesn't work at all 50% of the time. #VariableReward #sonos

Too dense with 💯 quotes to quote. I was working on a similar post but now I have to just work my subpar thoughts around said quotes.
Stage 1 of the #tourdefrance was the best I can remember in a long time. I've watched the finish 5 times now and got goosebumps every time. Every single commentator has used the term "masterclass" to describe the winning tactics. Winner in his last ever TdF, his teammate who made it happen in his first ever TdF. This reaction from the team car:
"patz and I borrowed a car and took a 3 hr drive to the small factory that make our caps in a rural farm town, 1.5 hrs from Milan. living most of my adult life beneath the stubby shade of one of these things; from this very factory — it felt like a pilgrimage of sorts"
Tim Blake Nelson is an awesome human
I wish I could remember the person I anonymously referenced in the last paragraph of daniel.industries/2011/04/02/existential-indifference/
"...delivering software is more like delivering a gooey crying baby. It’s alive. Squirming, growing, and changing because the technologies it relies on do too. Physical materials rarely change, but web browsers, operating systems, and servers sure do."
Y'all...I've been honestly trying to use GenAI to help me write some stuff. I'll get stuck on something and throw it to a few different tools, one of which is even using my own writing for reference. The stuff it generates is driveling shit.
This begs the question: the people bullish on even this most basic of LLM tasks...are they just that bad at writing in the first place?
