This weekend found me holed up for a writing mini-retreat while J worked a wedding gig in Wisconsin, which meant a whole uninterrupted day of working on the zombie/hotel play, which didn't start out with zombies at all, but somehow ended up there, miles away from where I intended it to go (and which I am still...
If you are familiar with my previous posts on model welfare for new Claude models, you can skip the Introduction and The Story So Far. Key takeaways are in bullet points in the two Overview sections. Opus 5 did the best on its model welfare and alignment tests of any recent model. I think that might be the case, but...
When you use a unittest.mock mock, you often make assertions on the calls it received, such as through the mock_calls list. But sometimes you want to assert on the order of calls across multiple mocked functions, for example to check that steps in a process happen in the right sequence. To do this, use attached...
Hello you fine Internet folks, Today we are over AMD's Advancing AI 2026 event to chit chat on their newly revealed CDNA5 architecture with Alan Smith! AMD's Corporate Fellow and Chief Architect for Datacenter GPUs. Hope y'all enjoy!The transcript below has been edited for conciseness, readability, and...
A year ago, you couldn't vibe code in Lisp. Even the SOTA models had trouble balancing parentheses, and they'd hallucinate packages and symbols that didn't exist.

Nice moment in Slack and Medium – when logging in, the login code that arrives via email is already there in the subject, in addition to hiding inside: This feels good for two reasons. One is the obvious one: you see the code earlier, it might show up in a notification, etc. But also, this should prevent multiple...
View from Cariboo Dam, pre-run: Cloudy and cooler. Today it was all about the differences in conditions: It was cloudy (not sunny) It was only 18°C (not 25°C) It was humid as all get-out (85% to start) The humidity prevented dry mouth but surprisingly wasn’t a big factor, either negatively or positively. I sweated,...
Another day of work out in the beautiful Swedish archipelago. Days like these always make me kind of dizzy. Not because of the sea, but because it's almost "too beautiful". It's impossible to take it all in. You want to preserve it, but you can't. The irony of it all is that those fruitless attempts also diminish...
Happy Observation Monday. Here’s mine. As you know from reading this blog here, I’m in a dad band that turned into a fairly successful local Grateful Dead band. We’re country-tinged in that we have a mandolin and a fiddle. It’s a super good time, and I’ve really loved getting to know these songs deeply. It occurred...
Not sure I've ever seen a praying mantis outside of a terrarium before today. (Second image taken with the phone, because wrong lens (for macro photos) on the proper camera…) 👉 View one more image
