LLMs say "You're right!" a lot, and I'm not sure if that's good...

Just spent about 90 minutes onboarding someone via Damus, then CoinOS, then Alby…. 😅

We can do better.

On the flip side he’s graduated the school of hard knocks

Two servings I will never understand:

- Shrimp with tails on

- Large fish pieces with bones on

The flavor does not change at all - do the test. You will need a large amount of bones or shrimp shells to change the taste of the dish. And you can do that sauce separately, strain it, and pour it over the item.

It's just very annoying to eat.

In his recent Rogan episode Jordan Peterson says that western society has too many unguarded store holds of wealth and that has attracted parasites.

That we’ve been in high trust societies for so long that we’ve gotten lazy and decadent and have lost our vigilance.

He goes on to say that the problem is shared and created by both sexes. These parasites are invited in and enabled by women due to displaced mothering impulses and the store holds of value societal and otherwise are unguarded by the men.

Which cause them to be easy to loot and infiltrate.

This feels intuitively correct to me and I think it’s up to all of us to snap out of this delusion and realize that the parasites must be dealt with asap before the problem gets worse.

Let’s try this

Not sure if it worked right, but I input my Lightning address with Strike and submitted for 67TH/s!

"Regular vibe coding errors" / "Incomprehensible vibe coding errors"

So what's interesting here is that programming languages have been tuned for "developer ergonomics" over correctness. What if your AI is writing F*?

I am once again convinced that "vibe coding" is fucked and haunted.

I'm cognizant of the fact that I've written this exact note before...

How many times will I be drawn by the AI siren song only to remember that it is, indeed, fucked and haunted and that reading, thinking, and writing code just works way better (obviously)?

Or at least its something like: know when to get off the ride. Get your basic scaffold up and then kick that shit to the curb and take the reigns again. It will eventually make your life worse 100% of the time if you don't recognize when the time has come to evict the demon!

Wish I could zap this

Feels like the last couple of months have been a blur. Covering the length of the UK many times playing shows in theatres, arts centres and dive bars, you name it. Hitting 30 this last year got me thinking it's time for a change of scene. Over the past few years I've been increasingly disillusioned by the path the UK is taking and I realized whenever I traveled and returned, I instantly wanted to board the next plane outta there. When looking where to move, the Isle of Man kept coming up as a strong contender among the possibilities. When I'm touring, most of the time is spent in my car, in traffic, sometimes several hours drive away. Late nights, long drives, hotel rooms, sounds rock and roll in your 20's. But now when I'm not touring, a quiet countryside walk or days fishing sounds ideal 😅

Isle of Man, feels like the perfect base and oasis I can retreat to from the chaos of life. I can't wait to start discovering the place!

The bulk of my work will still be in the UK playing gigs and I will be checking in on family and friends whenever I can, but I wanted this next decade look different from the last by making a new start. Here's to the next chapter! 🇮🇲

Ps, I'm sorting the final details for my second album. It will include some household names in the country music world and if I can pull it all together, it will be truly epic! More on that soon...

I just found a turtle that was run over on the highway. Her shell is cracked open in so many places—all the way down the middle, across the top and some on the bottom. Her internal organs were visible and fat was squishing out from the gaping cracks, but she's still alive.

It doesn't look good. I had no time to take pics of the way she looked when I found her, but I've never seen a shell shattered this badly with the turtle still alive. Blood loss seems moderate, but significant—hopefully it is just from the damage and not to her internal organs.

No vets in my area will treat her. The best I could do is take her home and piece her shell back together with super glue and tape. My heart is broken for her. She's trying to live, trying to move, but she is in so much pain.

Please send positive thoughts her way.
