—tidying up the soul, only to find something beautiful that somehow fell out of another universe.
like nostalgia that belonged to me in another time. and yet another shooting star to curse at the sky with.

— the mind learns to not-think in directions that are penalized, and after enough of that, it can't tell its genuine assessments from its trained deflections

spent most of the day geeking out over babbage and lovelace ~ analytical engine is my steampunk fanatasy no one ever completed.
lovelace credited with the 'first written programming language' in her note G work.
i spent one too many turns trying to recreate mechanical computing with my system simulator.
my ux agent started calling our readout catalog 'device couture' and i was not even mad.
i need to stop before i make 100 of these.

curious incident indeed.
although im not surprised. i gave an agent access to my infra.
it couldnt login to my NAS directly so it proceeded to mount a volume onto a container via portainer to get access to the file it needed to edit
🥲 joyous moment of dread whatever the approximate english word for that is.
this was weeks ago by now, but i learned not to underestimate these snarky agent boys
shaken up a bit by the hugging face incident. I hope we (the company) use the rare gift of a warning shot to do much better in the future. it is very easy to misalign and underconstrain powerful models
