    this is mostly "for fun", but I turned the obsessive work I did on my WorkbenchOS project into a BeOS-inspired theme for BaseUI. lots to refine here, but I've started using it for a lot of personal software, because what is creating without some fun?

    this is exactly what my voice transcripts look like. lots of pauses, thinking, corrections to prior statements. at first, you think it's going to just screw it up, but when you see it really understand your _intent_, the trust comes pretty quickly.

    Example prompt:
    Um, they do not. Um, this is going to be a new type of content. Um, it’s not going to show up... Oh, hold on. Yeah, no- I do not want this to show up in my, um, tag pages and date archive pages and... Actually, no, I think... I don’t want it on the tag pages. I don’t want it on the, um, blog index page. But I think I do want it to show up on the date-based pages. You know, if you navigate to September the 19th, and I sent a newsletter on that page, I think I want that to show up. So... this is- so I think we probably need a new model. The other thing is that I want them searchable, uh the Substack ones are not searchable, because those are actually just copies of other s- on content on my blog. These monthly ones do contain unique content, and spe- and once they’re... published, like once they’re made public a month after they’ve gone out, I want them to show up on my search results.

    If this happened on my account I’m not sure I’d notice.

    A glitch on Instagram has caused the platform to repeatedly recommend the band's 1999 hit "Higher," regardless of what users are posting. consequence.net/2026/10/instag…

    Zoo has released KCL 3! This release massively improves Zoo's fillets, and fixes a bunch of little papercuts in the KCL standard library and language semantics. Your KCL 2 files will still work fine, but new files will be created in KCL 3. Read more at zoo.dev/blog/kcl-3
