Decided to give ChatGPT a try after a fairly long hiatus. It's very good! Better than Claude most of the time, with faster delivery. Still think Sonnet 4.6 with a good harness is pretty ace, but think I will be defaulting to OpenAI in the near term. Looking forward to experimenting with Codex. _ Reply via email
Truly has become unbearable. Losing efficiency and my patience with it. Perhaps it’s time to try Codex. _ Reply via email
Found my go-to jiu-jitsu technique: Paddy Pimblett's Pad-Tie. I've always enjoyed slapping on the Peruvian neck tie, but I find it's a low percentage move. I have a solid chinstrap that I lock in during most of my rolls, but I've never found a reliable way to capitalize upon it. This morning we drilled Pimblett's move, and transitioning from the chinstrap to the D'arce could be the move I've been…

This is v good Prada is cheap. Rent is expensive. I tell a friend, "Americans bring their neuroses to Europe like conquistadors brought syphilis back from the New World."

The power has been out all day. Over the hours, trucks have come and gone, with older dudes replacing younger dudes on the work site. It seems to be a tricky one. The grocery bill is going to be higher this week. _ Reply via email
Oftentimes, when I'm returning home, I think about my sons and how I can't wait to hug them. Sometimes, when I get home, they're arguing with one another and my mind flips from the endless ocean of love I was swimming in to a sink of frustration. The other day, when they were arguing, I told them both to come toward me, and then I gave them a group hug. It put a stop to the bickering and it made…
Like many, I have found NASA's Artemis II mission to be enthralling and inspiring. At a time of turmoil and wanton, unnecessary violence, I hold out hope that images like the one below elevate perspectives from the parochial to the planetary. Image credit: NASA. I don't think it will happen in my lifetime, but I choose to live with this perspective, and I hope that my children will inherit a world…
Been a bit quiet here as of late. Have been pruning the garden (metaphorically) to make way for new projects and growth. Part of which is writing a book sharing unvarnished views on the first seven years of building a business. Sadly, I didn't get to write today—was on my to-do list, but I came up with an idea for a product and that jumped the queue. Speaking of The Silence, remember this jam ? _…
This song evokes a mid-2010s, contemplative vibe, and I've had it running on repeat lately. _ Reply via email
