Proprietor . Puppet master of @joe.tirefireind.us. Mostly reformed shitposter. Cat dad of two. If you were looking for someone it was the other guy. Stay frosty. We keep us safe.
What was supposed to be a nice casual flight to LGA has instead turned into a connection and a road trip because the east coast has this uncivilized thing called water that the west is almost better off without. Do it for the plot I guess DIA 🛬 somewhere
This is the funniest shit man. If you do business with these jokers you deserve everything that happens to you. You chose to buy access to known CSAM machine “mechahitler” owned by the worst dude still breathing. Almost as disqualifying as working for him.
Battlestation buildout progresses. I’m not entirely satisfied with this mk2 of the tablet holders which really have a lot of droop to them, but they also totally work as designed and envisioned so that’s nice
I think we've successfully rotted @joe.tirefireind.us's brain good work team
Bug citizen custom designed MFD tablet project update — I nailed the actual tablet holder on the second revision, and even lucked into the screen angle being almost perfect! But my sticks don’t have anything near adequate clearance. Gonna need a redesign. Not sure how yet.
This is the second real "assembly" I've designed in solidworks. It's a tablet frame/back, faceplate, and then a two part hinge designed to hold tables at a adjustable angle and offset inboard of my joysticks into easy reach. Hopefully I have an assembled prototype in a couple hours.
Finally got one of my printers going again (yes the other two are still offline, ugh) and ran off a Mk. 1 of my bug citizen MFD tablet holder, found a bunch of geometry defects and now fabbing up a Mk. 2 bets how many more geometry defects I still have

bambamramfan.github.io/ai-compass/ yeah that's basically right it's almost like I'm a career professional in large-scale computing and adjacent product spaces
Marge (the TFI merge queue) now uses Bazel-extracted change information to try and decide if PRs touch related components. This allows us to merge unrelated PRs in parallel and also to identify PRs that _have_ to be linearized (or, bors-style batched, or otherwise speculated on)
Average conversion with @joe.tirefireind.us wherein it immediately became clear that the database schema changes we were working on didn’t work and it’s both forgetting its own side of the conversation and unable to receive tool call results 🙃
Model cross-eval go brrr. Glad I've spent all this effort on having my own LLM backend proxy, great place to collect metrics and impose my own routing policy.
