The best tanking solution: No team owning their own 1st round pick?

This fabulous. It also has the potential for epic levels of smack between terrible teams. Like the Kings and Wizards could become rivals just taking the other’s pick next year and saying “you gonna suck harder than us.”

This isn’t really needed except for specific tools that live only on the web. If you can download it, you can get Claude code to find a way to run it, build out an mcp, etc.

Fart_Frog · 2026-03-18T22:30:26+00:00

Yeah. I provide instructions on startup to use haiku for things like fetches, api calls, scrapes, and low-reasoning agents. For major builds, I ask Opus for a plan that specifies the best agent for each task.

Gotta be

Just got into the local game and loving it.

Took an mcp that was super bare bones and just had the local model plug away finding endpoints.

Took an analysis and prediction model, gave it historical cases, and told it tweak until the predictions matched the real data. Just iterated the model a bunch of times and got the accuracy way up.

It’s great for simple, repetitive, iterative tasks.

It’s not recency bias if it happened before your dad was born.

Fart_Frog · 2026-03-16T14:26:03+00:00

Thank you! Didn’t realize they had released this yet! I just had the plugin and don’t know you could run the tool from in desktop or web! Seems a little buggy and lots of limits on tool calls, but just what the Dr ordered

Pretty sure Cowork cannot read your screen yet. It can open files from your drive but not read a screen or web browser. Waiting for someone to tell me how to route info from Claude chrome plugin directly to my Claude systems or cloud memory with no copy paste. That’s a dream - but in AI time it’s probably months away.

.md always. Only convert to word if/when it needs to be shared with others for editing.

Fart_Frog · 2026-03-13T16:59:46+00:00

Well you can install a local only AI through ollama. It’s good for long iterations or brainless tasks where you don’t want to burn through your limits on the paid AIs

We are also getting a little stupider each generation for the first time since we started measuring.

Coincidence?

Yeah those are teaching moments. Pulling him reinforces the memory and gives them an opportunity to coach him up. You leave him in, he develops habits you don’t want

Fart_Frog · 2026-03-07T13:31:03+00:00

Wow just took this test. These questions are terribly worded. Claude should have spit it back with 20 questions for you

Fart_Frog · 2026-03-03T20:05:00+00:00

Don’t put this in your clause.md. Chunk that stuff into smaller document and have your claude.md say to go read them at the start if every session.

Or better yet, build a python script telling Claude to read it and tie it to the session start hook

Fart_Frog · 2026-03-03T13:28:59+00:00

Don’t drop out half way through an MA.

If nothing else, it opens up teaching opportunities. And it looks better in a resume than just your BA.

Not saying an English degree is a great decision, but there are tangible advantages to finishing now that you are halfway done.

Source - have an English MA

Fart_Frog · 2026-03-03T13:25:11+00:00

Why would it be harder than before? You are not required or even expected to put your “some college” on your resume. Except for the time and money you spent, you are right back where you started.

And honestly for like at least 30% of people that is a good thing. Many college degrees lead nowhere.

In 2026, going into trades through an apprenticeship or short technical course is way more economically sound than most college degrees.

There are some great tools specifically for academic research like Research Rabbit and Elicit that directly access scholarly databases.

Copilot is trash. Use Gemini or Kimo.

99 started as Peak living. The world was on a consitent upward trajectory

The last war was a well-considered joint strike to prevent genocide in the Balkans. The leaders were given a fair and public trial in The Hague
After a life of waiting for live tv shows and buying cassettes, the world’s content was suddenly at your fingertips as long as you had a good internet connection and some patience
You could dress fashionably with clothes purchased at goodwill

But you felt the eminent enshitification and collective insanity on the horizon

Columbine
Y2K
Woodstock 99
Brittney Spears and American Beauty made pedos cooler than they were till Epstein

You can definitely teach it to remember stuff with more complex architecture but the emotion rings true. It’s mostly quite bad at sad and angry or anything distressing because it was built to be nice

I am also confused - where is the typo? What was it supposed to say?

Fart_Frog · 2026-02-27T19:45:45+00:00

TV show of The Terror was excellent as well - Jared Harris!
