I have cause to brush up on htmx and Cypher for a maybe job and I am very excited.

Should I shave?

I mean the only thing that could scream “grognard” louder than being an htmx enthusiast would be maybe get a Chainmail (1971) cover art tattoo, but still this is the tech world we’re talking about.

During yesterday’s LLM endeavors I first tried the project spec meeting interaction with local DeepSeek R1-7B. Went with the basic flow of “here’s what I’d like to do. Ask me some questions to help me refine my plan.”

It thought a lot and brought up many things that had not occurred to me in its response, but didn’t actually do the thing I asked it to.

And I’m thinking “it me.”

I am sorry, world. I should not have made my code and notes publicly available where bots could scrape it for AI training.

“We noticed you did not respond to our shady-sounding email casually requesting what could be considered trade secrets, so we just thought we’d reach out one more time with three even shadier emails all at once” will probably remain a lingering regret about $gig[-1] being on my resume.

I just got the absolutely worst idea and I cannot wait to implement it.

I love how the update trailer is nearly always a literal brisk stroll through the newest features.

Doing entertainingly useless things with Cypher in Kuzu

The pages I’ve linked to most in my Logseq graph. Some inaccuracies, since I haven’t included tag links, and “note” should be a property link.

And a selection of pages linking to my Python note. Alas, no rand() for ordering in #KuzuDB yet.

source of the insanity

AN AI-generated image which I think is referencing the text of the post? Many Dall-E style word distortions, like “duckboy code” and “confused shoge?”

A pint of ice cream is now fourteen ounces. And then they get mad that kids can’t math.

More lovely sky drama. Actually that one mountain looks wrapped cozy in a blanket.
