I have discovered the the BEST way to get 3D modeling results from LLMs
The app LiDAR scans the room while taking hundreds of high quality photos.
Then a workflow + skill I've created models out every item recursively checking the model against the photo at the exact spot + angle where the photo was captured
The result is a a dimensionally accurate and high quality model of your room

I'm sick of having to setup + auth MCP servers across multiple machines and harnesses
Giving @RhysSullivan's Executor a shot - connect apps once and then access everything over a single (or multiple) MCP connection
I've got mine self-hosted and only accessible on my tailscale tailnet
What the hell is going on at Github?
We grilled Kyle Daigle about the downtime and talked to him about how they are changing their infrastructure to handle the new demand
answered a bunch of your submitted questions as well

I wonder what happened 9-10 months ago?
Not saying this is true for Austin, or the many in the replies, but we have had a HELL of a 9 months
Take care of yourselves folks
Very unfun fact, my thumb has been wiggling like this every day for 9 months. It bursts out into a wiggle and then stops cold and acts normal again. Wiggle bursts last 10 seconds. Between wiggle bursts there’s a dead period of 30 seconds or so where my thumb acts normal until the next wiggle burst. At its worst it wiggled for two weeks straight without stopping. It almost never wiggles at all in the morning, but it starts wiggling in the the early afternoon, peaks around 5pm, and then calms down to act like a normal thumb again by 9pm or so. Its clock is extremely consistent and predictable. Every day I know almost exactly when it will start wiggling based on the previous day. Shortly after my thumb started wiggling (feb 2026) I got pretty bad shoulder pain right around my brachial plexus on the same side. An emg showed I had active denervation of my serratus anterior. Doctor said maybe parsonage turner syndrome but he has no idea what’s up with my thumb since emg didn’t show damage there. Saw a neuro, pm&r, orthopedist. They say it’s probably benign cause no weakness but none offer any explanation or solution. The shoulder pain subsided extremely slowly over the course of 7 months and is basically gone now. My thumb was doing pretty good recently (down to a few minutes per day) until stress episodes caused it to relapse back to several hours per day. It’s been a pretty awful year not gonna lie. I feel quite frail because it’s very sensitive to my behavior, mood, exercise, etc.. Going for runs makes it absolutely lose control. It calms down within 30 mins or so of the run but it makes me not want to run or lift. I’ve been trying to hold onto hope that it might make a miraculous recovery one day, but 9 months is a pretty insane amount of time and I fear that this may just be something I have to live with for the rest of my life.
the terminal's days are numbered
Replying to @wesbos @luisrudge
Correct. I highly suspect in less than 12 months we’ll see Rex screenshots that mostly have no terminals at all.
Some Indian chat app uploaded 480,000 images to my cloudinary account
I had my Cloudinary misconfigured to allow proxy fetch/resize from any domain, so they uploaded to S3 and then used my URL to handle resize + bandwidth
Sorry to "India Chat" if I just broke your images
Thank you Cloudinary for flagging this
It's been 6 months since I posted this
How has your use of UI changed?
Does your chat ever inline UI?
Do you use any of: interactive chat UI, MCP Apps, WebMCP, generative UI, etc..
This was so long before let’s encrypt that I paid for a dedicated IP so I could get a SSL certificate. I had dozens of Wordpress sites on it back years ago
The price rose significantly on the last few years, the last straw was the emails about me running out of space.
20gb for $600. They know people are too fussed to move and extort them like this
How does one even begin paying 600/year for a tiny site on shitty WordPress hoster?
How hard are you hit in the head before agreeing to pay 50$ every month for the privilege of storing 6.7 gigs of photos and still running out of space?
What an absolute scam

OK I did it.
Migrated WordPress to Emdash. goodbye $600 bluehost server I've had for 15 years.
307 posts
6.7gb photos
4 custom content types
5 custom page templates
15 custom fields
1 semi-complicated plugin converted and a handful of simple ones
Emdash skills moved it over, migrated off stylus(!) and it's pixel perfect on the front end.
The page speed score went from 52 to 75.
The Admin is fantastic as well - no problem for a WP user. Nice and fast
