📞 @mschoening and I sometimes have meandering calls about malleable software and AI. This morning we tried recording one! We talked about cognitive debt, why CLIs are having their moment, what comes after files, and reverse-engineering smart homes... 06:55 - How software promotes agency 19:21 - Composable tools 25:00 - Smart home lighting hacks w/ Claude 33:20 - The subtle magic of CLIs 39:35 - Maintenance costs for personal software 43:19 - Avoiding cognitive debt with AI-generated explanations

Updating my priors on what's worth automating... Used Gemini 3 Flash to extract data from PDFs for tax prep. Great results, total cost = 12 cents!

Not only was Walton a steal of a pick, he’s quite literally dominating the #OHL for the second straight year. He ranks: - 2nd in goals - 2nd in points - 1st in GWG (9) - 1st in shots (267) For a sixth-round pick? What a steal this is turning out to be. #NHLJets #NHLJetsNation
Evan Waldner@evanwaldner31

#NHLJets 2024 sixth-round pick Kieron Walton recorded a two-goal performance for the Peterborough Petes against the Owen Sound Attack Thursday night, including the OT winner for his 32nd of the season. The 19-year-old is now up to 32G and 66P in 44GP in the #OHL.

Finding myself going back to RSS/Atom feeds a lot more recently. There's a lot more higher quality longform and a lot less slop intended to provoke. Any product that happens to look a bit different today but that has fundamentally the same incentive structures will eventually converge to the same black hole at the center of gravity well. We should bring back RSS - it's open, pervasive, hackable. Download a client, e.g. NetNewsWire (or vibe code one) Cold start: example of getting off the ground, here is a list of 92 RSS feeds of blogs that were most popular on HN in 2025: gist.github.com/emschwartz/e6d… Works great and you will lose a lot fewer brain cells. I don't know, something has to change.

Let me give you some ideas from the stuff that I do/did in the past that fall under "intellectually challenging" hobbies: - Puzzle Games: in the recent years, puzzle games are some of the highest quality computer games being released; Thinky Games has a very good curated list: thinkygames.com/lists/thinky-e… Some of my personal favorite: Blue Prince, Golden Idol series, Outer Wilds, Tunic, Baba is You - Board Games: if you're looking for something more social and/or you have kids that are 5+; I started playing in 2024 and currently I have over 60😅Current favorites: Arnak, Dune Uprising, El Dorado, Colt Express (I may have a slight bias towards deck builders) - Logic Puzzles: sudoku & similar things; gmpuzzles.com/blog/ is a good starting point, monthly contests at gp.worldpuzzle.org (requires printer); if you get really good there's World Championship: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Puz… (FYI, I was one of the main organizers in 2022); I may do a longer thread about those in the future since it's surprisingly hard to get started - Escape Rooms: there's a global ranking of ERs at roomfinder.terpeca.com if you leave close to any of the good ones, I highly recommend visiting one (or a dozen 😅) - Puzzle Hunts: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puzzle_hu… the most twisted and uninviting form of puzzling that I know - Blind Racing: something very niche and very weird; it's speedrunning games vs other players, but with games that you see for the very first time; I believe the next annual mystery tournament should be announced soon-ish; more info here: mysteryfun.house - Speedcubing: you can buy a rubik's cube with bluetooth inside that can detect it's own orientation (helpful with initial solving & timekeeping). It takes ~1h for the first solve (with instructions), you can easily get down to 60s within a few hours of practice. Trains dexteriety, memory, pattern matching & overall focus

Developing a film curriculum for myself (I like movies, but I’m trying to make a serious study of the medium). Is there anything I *definitely* have to include? Interested in the classics, but I’m most curious about films people personally find exceptional.
