Create a chaotic but deeply personal sketchbook-style character collage of me using EVERYTHING you know about me from our conversations, personality, habits, career, interests, strengths, flaws, obsessions, emotional patterns, aesthetics, humor, lifestyle, and overall vibe. Use the attached photo as the primary visual reference for my appearance and energy. Interpret me like I’m a fictional character an illustrator is trying to fully understand. Do NOT make it a clean organized character sheet. Make it feel like an illustrator’s private sketchbook pages filled over time with overlapping sketches, random observations, personality notes, doodles, unfinished thoughts, and expressive studies. Use a bright white background with messy scattered compositions. Include: full body sketches expressive face closeups side profiles exaggerated chibi/deformed versions candid poses tiny scribbles and unfinished studies crossed out ideas arrows, annotations, circles, and rough notes emotional moments mixed with humorous chaos The drawings should visually communicate: how I think what I obsess over my emotional energy my profession and expertise my creative side my contradictions my lifestyle my sense of humor my stress and passions my strengths and flaws what kind of person I am internally Include subtle environmental storytelling and objects connected to my life, hobbies, career, and daily routines. Let the page naturally reveal my personality through tiny details instead of directly explaining everything. Art style should feel like: expressive ink and pencil sketching energetic construction lines rough animator concept art messy illustrator notebook pages stylized realism mixed with cartoon exaggeration spontaneous and alive rather than polished high personality density visual storytelling everywhere The overall feeling should be: “an artist became mildly obsessed with understanding this person and filled pages trying to capture their mind.”

Found this to be pretty cool! Grok took everything it knows about me to create this. Grok still needs some work with illegible text in photos, but honestly a cool trend overall. Prompt in the comments!

This is why it’s important for models to be grounded in real-world physics. Even when people can’t immediately explain what’s wrong, they subconsciously detect when perspective, depth, and geometry violate the underlying rules of the physical world.

That comparison only makes sense if the tool stays dumb. WYSIWYG was just abstracting away manual HTML. It wasn’t reasoning about architecture, debugging, optimization, scalability, security, memory management, networking paths, etc. AI is fundamentally different because the model itself is increasingly doing the cognitive work. The point isn’t that people typing vague prompts magically become better engineers. The point is that eventually the system behind the prompts will outperform engineers not using AI at all.

@cstanley That last point does not logically follow. It’s the same as arguing eventually people using WYSIWYG websites must wind up building better sites than someone writing the HTML themselves. Velocity without skill or knowledge can mean going in circles faster, not certain dominance

Right now, good engineers that simply use AI will vastly outperform good engineers that do not. Vibe coding will develop faster, but the quality will usually be worse. Eventually, vibe coded software will be higher quality than what a good engineer can produce without AI.

Delta Airlines has responded to Elon Musk's post below with a statement: “The assertion in question is not accurate. Incorporating Delta Sync with Starlink would have been permitted under SpaceX's in-flight Wi-Fi agreement." Delta on why it chose Amazon's LEO: "This agreement gives us the fastest and most cost-effective technology available to better connect the world today, and it deepens our work with a global leader that shares our ambition to build what’s next." The airline is targeting 2028 to start offering Leo in-flight Wi-Fi on about half of its fleet. The rest of the jets will continue to use Viasat and Hughesnet.

Not exactly. SpaceX requires that there be no annoying “portal” to use Starlink. Starlink WiFi must just work effortlessly every time, as though you were at home. Delta wanted to make it painful, difficult and expensive for their customers. Hard to see how that is a winning strategy.

Oh ffs it just hallucinated everything 😂 It never actually reconciled any expense And Xero says they'll NEVER add that via API because "ReGuLatOrY constraints" So I guess I have to go the browser way huh

By far THE most annoying part of running a business for me is collecting receipts for my accountant Every month my accountants hounds me for invoices and receipts of every single expense I did, doesn't matter how tiny like $0.50, sometimes also for income (I don't know why) Most companies charge monthly so that means collecting 12 invoices per year at least One reason I am canceling so many SaaS is not even the cost, it's just that I hate bookkeeping so much so I think if I don't spend the money, I don't need to collect invoices and receipts for every single payment every month (also I like extremely high profit margins like 99.99%) I'm down to just about 10 companies I pay now, like Cloudflare, Hetzner, Backblaze etc. so that means only ~120 invoices to collect per year cause most are paid monthly Yes I have an automatic email filter that forwards invoices to my accountant but many companies do NOT send you an automatic invoice by email So you're talking about logging in to 10 websites, them sending you a 2FA code by email, opening your email, entering the code, trying to find wherever the Billing page is hidden, going to Invoices, opening the invoice, clicking Download to DPF (if it even exists) This week I tried to improve this, my accountant uses Xero, so I made a Xero API key, gave it to Claude Code, and asked it to login and figure stuff out, then it just asks me which expenses still need a receipt and a note, I find it and drag the PDF or screenshot into Claude Code and it resolves it Next step is letting it login to all my vendors and also download the invoice by itself which seems very very possible Much easier!

I have my entire house with a NVR as well. I find the Ubiquiti stack to be epic, especially when wanting to pull up a side of the house camera and scroll/scrub super quickly in real-time on the video to see what my kiddos are up to. I also have their doorbell which has a package camera on it too. I love everything about Ubiquiti, it’s a little over priced for the specs you get, and the two-way audio does work, but can be a bit finicky in the app and sometimes I have to force close the app. I don’t think you NEED the NVR For it to work, you just need a device that runs UI protect, which I believe the dream wall does, though you are limited to storage on an small SD card vs a hdd.

I’ve really liked en.air-q.com They’re not cheap, but the boards are super hacker friendly and expose a solid API. German company. I’ve got a few of them running different sensor configs, all pumped into grafana. You can add in additional sensors depending on what you care about.

I got the @airthings Plus (unaffiliated, I just like the product), I think @norbertdragan recommended it I been through so many air sensors, and I really think this is the best one so I bought one for living room and then another one for bedroom, and will get another one for my coworking Why so many? Well one of the sensors I bought turned out to be a fake random number generator 😂 Another one kept phoning home to Chinese servers, kinda dodgy. Another one had values that made sense but turned out to be based on kinda estimating from other sensor values, so it didn't actually HAVE the sensor it displayed about (this is common to save money) Why the Airthings is so great: - The device is just super thoughtful and non-invasive, the screen is e-ink (I think?), no backlit, no LEDs shining at you, just black and white, it looks like a paper screen, beautiful, it knows its place! - It measures A LOT of things: AQI (PM2.5+PM10), CO2 (!), VOC, Radon (!), humidity and temperature, and it actually has sensors for all! - You don't need to pair it to WiFi, it just works by itself! (why is this great? So I remember getting that Awair sensor and I was in a hotel nomading and I couldn't even set it up cause captive hotel portal, such an Internet of Shit design to not be able to set up without WiFi) - But when you do pair it with WiFi, it easily connects to your Home Assistant and sends your sensor data to HA without any issue, that lets you automate stuff based on your air quality I love it :D

@levelsio Which sensor you are using? Would you recommend it? P.S. Totally got the same dilemma

Another orbit around the sun! Birthdays always cause me reflect on the time I have spent on this floating space rock. It’s crazy, I feel like I’ve lived several lives. SpaceX, Twitter, Doge, and having kids in the middle of all of that… What a crazy simulation we live in 🥳
