#TIL -- that in linux, if you use an Nvidia GPU for compute (i.e., not graphics) the driver could be offloaded on idle times. There is a persistence mode which is supplemented by a persistenced service to prevent this.
*I guess it depends on which linux flavor and which nvidia driver, but seems common
If the driver is being offloaded on idle times, there is a cold start every time you need the compute. Good to know for headless GPU compute servers
Hello. It’s a nice day ☀️
Technology killed that dream *raises fists to the sky *
My dream job as a kid was employee in a vcd rental shop so I could watch movies all day
listening, looking back. "People are basically good."

Kiddo doing game dev on Scratch and had to stop yesterday. I told him to write his ideas first so he can come back to it.
This morning he wrote: “Dad can I continue when I’m done with my brekky?”
The principles remain: break down work to smallest possible unit, build with end in sight but only what is needed to iterate and learn, understand and articulate what you ship, listen to people
Decision fatigue is what AI coding agents give software engineers if no processes are intentionally put in place to help them.
Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)
#TIL there is a Firebase Local Emulator suite recently released for emulating the Firebase stack locally
https://firebase.google.com/docs/emulator-suite
I have been using Firebase for https://mnswpr.com for a long time, and though I know there is a self-hosted Supabase alternative, this is a good enough solution.
The tech industry might have framed itself as a libertarian paradise, but the US government has long seen the internet as a means to expand its power.
Now it’s weaponizing that influence against countries around the world. They must decide whether to give in or make the hard push for digital sovereignty.

In recent years, the number of #SpaceFlights has grown steadily... and will continue to grow in the years to come. This is not without #consequences for the chemical composition of Earth's #stratosphere.
Scientists believe it is time to study the potential effects of the chemicals released during a satellite’s #launch and #re-entry phases on the #ozone layer, the Earth’s #climate, and #life on Earth: https://www.essc.esf.org/2026/06/25/pr-airl-whitepaper/
exploring "ai" is different than advocating for "ai"
I still mourn that creative work is now less rewarding. Co-creation is a huge part of my 'why'.
And yet, it is also my job to understand software.
This is so good, I want to make it a signature to my posts

A good grip strength exercise is to wash lots of tiny baby clothes by hand
I think this matters in a few levels, some more subtle mental models and some more practical -- but all needs consideration
So the “agents” are equals with clearly defined strengths and roles
I have an *architecture* now that is not a typical agent + sub-agent flow (a master-slave modern alternative)
I basically have an ”Executive Assistant” + ”Outsourced Expert” flow
(Continuing on the local AI experiments) The actual MVP I started with is not the point, an actual throw-away project. It helped me wrap my head around setting the “architecture” (for lack of a better word because “setup” is meh, “setting the setup” will not pass politically correct folks :D)
