More code, faster, with no thought. There's no point in anything unless it's constantly changing. Changing so fast you can't think about it or have to time to get used to it. Stop thinking. Trust the vibe. Give in to it. Give in.

One of the fun parts of being me is the cross-disciplinary weirdness I can bring into any situation.

@simon has been doing great exploring of LLMs, and has a fantastic post about Claude 4 Opus system prompts - the stuff Anthropic injects to shape the model’s output.

https://simonwillison.net/2025/May/25/claude-4-system-prompt/#atom-everything

It included this great find as the last entry: “Claude is now being connected with a person.”

Which is just brilliantly metacognitive, readable in multiple ways.

Haha. Die Gewerkschaft der Polizei will an Bahnhöfen KI mit Überwachungskameras einsetzen, um Gefahren wie rennende Menschen zu erkennen. Rennende Menschen an Bahnhöfen? What could possibly go wrong?

On this 5th anniversary of his passing, I reflect on how America is such a different place before and after George Floyd's death.

Before, most white people claimed not to know how cops mistreat and kill us, as they demanded that cops do more of it.

Now, they still demand more of it, but with full knowledge.🤡

And again, don't try to "Red State, Blue State," this. Don't try to make it about Trump.

Biden killed any and all hope for lasting change after George Floyd. Biden demanded more killer cop units that don't work. Biden presided over the most murderous year in US policing history.

Boston has worse police racism than Birmingham Alabama.

That's not saying that Birmingham Alabama policing is good or equitable for Black people. That's saying that the bar is on the floor.

And white folk in the US know that it's on the floor. They know it's racist.

And most of them don't care.🤷🏿‍♂️

Most white Biden voters want to go back to an America where the government hurt Black people without consequence, but not white people.

But it's never going back.

That America is gone. We need a new path forward.

You can start caring about how Black people are treated, or share in our treatment.

My notes are a mess. I have half in #Notion and half in #Obsidian. I want to make a personal wiki/garden for all my deep dives and info collecting but I can't commit to one platform.

I love Obsidian and its respect for my writing files. Notion has all the shiny features but those fuckers love the typical SaaS lock-in approach.

I once heard a joke that the highest level programming language was "graduate student". This was back in the day before all this "AI" hype, and I think it still expresses something that our society seems to desperately want to ignore.
