This happens gradually. In middle school, you learn that certain enthusiasms are embarrassing. In high school, you learn which opinions are acceptable in your social group. In college, you refine your persona further. By the time you're an adult, you've become so skilled at reading rooms and ajusting accordingly that you don't even notice you're doing it. You've automated your own inauthenticity.

Here is a list of pi coding agent extensions.

Here is Kevin Kelly's selfish reasons for having kids, the following is my favorite.

Children are entertaining, much better than any other streaming option you might pay for. The questions they ask, their antics, watching them play, witnessing or being the recipient of their creativity, sometimes on a daily basis, is the best streaming there is. Their creativity is often inspiring. They can be creative in negative ways, too, but in all ways they will not be boring, and they are right there in your presence.

Introducing Deno Sandbox (via) Here's a new hosted sandbox product from the Deno team. It's actually unrelated to Deno itself - this is part of their Deno Deploy SaaS platform. As such, you don't even need to use JavaScript to access it - you can create and execute code in a hosted sandbox using their deno-sandbox Python library like this:

I also use newsboat. I've been thinking about building my own bespoke rss reader. Not sure I want to do it in bash though.

Recently, I started reducing my dependencies on external software. Yesterday, I thought, why not write an RSS reader myself. It will not be as powerful and robust as my current one, but it will be simpler, more hackable, and mine, i.e. I will not be dependent on a stranger's commit that might break my system accidentally or on purpose.

"The central challenge of brain emulation is not to store or compute the neurons and parameters, but to acquire the data necessary for setting neuron parameters correctly in the first place," he writes. ""I believe that to get to human brains, we first need to demonstrate mastery at the sub-million-neuron-brain level: most likely in zebrafish. For such organisms, like the fruit fly, a well-validated and accurate brain emulation model could be created in the next three to eight years… "Conditional on success with a sub-million-neuron brain emulation model, a reasonable order of magnitude estimate for the initial costs of the first convincing mouse brain emulation model is about one billion dollars in the 2030s and, eventually, tens of billions for the first human brain emulation model by the late 2040s."

I love the idea of having my website directly connected to the fediverse. A bluesky comment section is really cool. I instead turned my website into an ActivityPub actor. I don't have comments setup though. I bet I can do something similar.

There are other services that could be used for this purpose instead. Notably, I could embed replies from the social media formerly known as Twitter. Or I could use a platform like Disqus or even giscus, which hosts comments on GitHub Discussions. But I see Bluesky as a clearly superior choice among these options. For one, Bluesky is built on top of an open social media platform in AT Proto, meaning it can't easily be taken over by an authoritarian billionaire creep. Moreover, Bluesky is a full-fledged social media platform, which naturally makes it a better option for hosting a conversation than GitHub.

Projects, not jobs. Hiring, not being hired.

Pi is written by Mario Zechner and unlike Peter, who aims for "sci-fi with a touch of madness," Mario is very grounded. Despite the differences in approach, both OpenClaw and Pi follow the same idea: LLMs are really good at writing and running code, so embrace this.
