Daring Fireball: The Spectacle of Incompetence
Stupidity and ignorance as a governing style. That’s it. They are exactly who they claim they are, and in private speak how they do in public. There is no secret plan.
Inside the Mind of Claude: How Large Language Models Actually “Think”
This issue persists even in newer models like Claude 3.7 Sonnet, which can generate long “chain of thought” explanations. In some cases, these are faithful, reflecting real internal computation. But in harder problems—like estimating the cosine of a large number—Claude may generate confident reasoning steps without performing the actual calculation. Researchers describe this behavior as a form of philosophical “bullshitting”: generating plausible reasoning without concern for truth.
Sounds like me. I’m also bullshitting my way through life.
We had a really nice Sunday dinner. Potatoes fluffed with parsley and butter, cauliflower and white asparagus. Topped with some honey glazed ham and loads of homemade hollandaise sauce.

Micro.social is shaping up to be a really great Micro.blog client. @gregmorris does a great job. Go on and support his efforts by trying it out. And if you like it, give him a tip.
I had a terrible coding day yesterday but seeing people use @microsocial features makes me really proud. Incase you missed it - Locations!
I’ve been using locations in a couple of posts and they work great. Makes me remember the FourSquare days. 😁
Universität Heidelberg. 📍
Heute war Nierenforum in der Uniklinik Heidelberg. Es gab wieder einige sehr interessante Vorträge. Aber je mehr ich über die Prozedur erfahre um so mehr bin ich skeptisch ob ich mir das wirklich antun möchte.
The Superman Sneak Peak looks great. They really captured having a pup that wants to play. However, I wonder how they will balance the story with that many supporting heroes/villains.
Hmm…
Off to visit a local pasta factory!
Is it just me or is Trump getting more orange?
