I’ve got my weekend reading sorted out.
I spent all last night dreaming about making a web interface for an AI chat API so I could play with it in a browser. Flask vs Node vs Rust vs Elixir. How to authenticate. Let the user select which model to use. Billing concerns. I planned it all and woke up this morning ready to build this thing I’d thought through.
Until I remembered I have zero interest in using, let along making, such a thing.
I’ve gotten 4 plausible recruiter cold emails today. Nature is healing.
Things I like about our relatively new Whirlpool refrigerator: It usually keeps our food cold.
Things I dislike about it: Random things stop working, such as the lights don’t turn on when you open the door, or the ice maker stops making ice, or it stops blowing cold air into the parts that are supposed to be cold. It doesn’t tell you that something’s wrong. You have to notice on your own. Then you have to reboot it by cutting power at the breaker for 10 minutes.
A sleepy Keeva caught a patch of sun.
My company hosted a business dinner last night for infosec leaders. It was a reminder how small the San Francisco tech community can be. What you see in advance: Jane is the CISO at an intimidatingly large corporation whose stuff you use every day. What you see when you get there: Jane is awesome and funny and you have 3 mutual friends from past gigs.
The Bay Area tech pool seems enormous at times. It’s way more interconnected than you’d imagine.
This is interesting and dangerous. I’m trying the new macOS Sequoia Passwords app. I exported my passwords from 1Password to a CSV and imported them into the new app, then soon saw a bunch of ancient logins from old employers. What? Searching for them in 1Password found nothing.
Oh, turns out those are archived in 1Password. The normal cmd-F search doesn’t look in Archive even if you’ve selected it. The other opt-cmd-F find does.
Hope you remembered to delete the passwords that would get you beaten up.
I’ve recently started playing with Zellij. What you need to know:
- Like tmux with on-screen menus that guide you through the tricky bits.
- Mouse scrolling works by default.
I’m beginning to doubt that I’ll ever go back.
I think I’m going to upgrade my personal MacBook Air to Sequoia tonight. YOLO!
Let’s go Ballers!
