Out of morbid curiosity attempting to let Qwen 3.6 35B A3B 8bit* make me an analog clock in the browser. It comes close but really struggling with CSS; I think it might be having whatever a stroke is for LLMs. Lots of handholding has not yet resulted in a correct rendering.
*I'm only running LLMs environmentally responsibly on a local machine powered by solar on my roof
If you’ve never been into exercise or considered yourself “a gym person,” the idea of starting exercise in midlife can feel daunting, or even futile.
But here’s the good news:
from a scientific standpoint, your 40s may be one of the most powerful times to get started.
When it comes to bone, muscle, metabolism, heart health and even brain function, it is never too late to start exercising.
In fact, your body is remarkably responsive to change at this stage of life, and y…
Very interanalysianabout what AI LlMs mean for software and tech jobs.
Chimes very much with how I see science requiring a lot of programming going too.

Another stupid MacOS 26 Tahoe change making my life harder. In Tahoe, several USB tools I use are broken. They call `system_profiler SPUSBDataType` internally to get USB info. In Tahoe that's gone, replaced by "SPUSBHostDataType", which returns not enough info.
If anyone has any tips on a built-in equivalent, let me know!

There are days when I feel more lonely than usual, and I wonder if that will ever change. The problem is, there's a whole lot of unusual things I need, probably due to a combination of being on the spectrum, with all the oversensitivity of the senses, rich imagination and the trauma from past relationships.
So right now my girlfriend couldn't smoke, support capitalism, use strong perfumes, wear noisy shoes, jewelry, piercings, makeup, long nails, long/thick eyelashes… and probably there would be more if I put my mind to it. And it's only clear that the list will get longer with more experiences…

“What’s your favorite…”
Let me just stop you right there;
I do, in fact, have favorite movies, books, scenes, comics, games; many of them!
I will NEVER be able to answer the above question, because the second you ask it/I read it, my mind goes completely fucking blank as they all vie for 1st
If you've noticed that I've been baking a lot the past few months, part of the reason has been control. I want to be more in control of my food.
I want to make my own food rather than buy food from corporations.
Of course I still have to buy the raw ingredients, and I try to be aware of that.
I use King Arthur flour, which comes from an employee-owned company, which is also a B corp.
I've said it before "Baking is Making" and I'm trying to l…
