I've spent the day trying out [@steveklabnik.com](https://bsky.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/steveklabnik.com)'s [#jujutsu](https://wandering.shop/tags/jujutsu) tutorial, and as a forcing function I'm trying it out on a couple of my own repos.

I'm very used to the [#magit](https://wandering.shop/tags/magit) workflow in [#emacs](https://wandering.shop/tags/emacs) and I don't know how much I'm gonna like moving over to a full TUI for version control.

20 years ago, in college, I worked at the uni library's special collections department. One of the things we would do was check leather-bound books for 'red rot', which is when the tanning of the leather starts to fail, and the leather starts crumbling to produce this really characteristic red dust. It's treated with a product called cellugel.

I told my parents about this cool job.

'Oh,' they said, 'can you do something about this old book from your great-grandmother's collection?'

A project I have been working on got its official release today.

Space images are pretty, but would you like to know what the important features are, and the science behind their appearance? ViewSpace Interactive Image Tours take you on a guided exploration of astronomical images.

Designed to be used on touch screens in museums and science centers, they are also fun to explore on your own. They work best on tablets or computers (devices bigger than a phone).

I recently got one of these for my new Mac Studio and it's a phenomenal product for external storage:

<https:amzn.to/44AAMQz>

It's a solid piece of aluminum with a circuit board where you can mount a NVME M.2 stick (like they use in the Playstation).

Real world transfer speeds are 3.5+ GB/s on Thunderbolt 5 (~1 GB/s on TB 3, ~2.5 GB/s on TB 4).

The enclosure is $120 and a 2 TB NVME is in the $120-150 range.

A great way to keep VMs, photos, and other big stuff out of Apple's pricey storage.

Modern-Day Oracles or Bullshit Machines?

Jevin West and I have spent the last eight months developing the course on large language models (LLMs) that we think every college freshman needs to take.

<https:thebullshitmachines.com>

This is not a computer science course.

It’s a humanities course about how to learn and work and thrive in an AI world.

Neither instructor nor students need a technical background. Our instructor guide provides a choice of activities for each lesson that will easily fill an hour-long class.

The entire course is available freely online. Our 18 online lessons each take 5-10 minutes; each illuminates one core principle. They are suitable for self-study, but have been tailored for teaching in a flipped classroom.

The course is a sequel of sorts to our course (and book) Calling Bullshit. We hope that like its predecessor, it will be widely adopted worldwide.

Large language models are both powerful tools, and mindless—even dangerous—bullshit machines. We want students to explore how to resolve this dialectic.

Flexoki 2.0 introduces 88 new colors that feel like watercolor pigments on paper. This is a continuation of my attempt to bring the feeling of analog color to digital emissive screens.

Flexoki is open source under the MIT license, and already available for most text editors, terminals, and many other apps. Flexoki 2.0 makes it into a more capable color system for UIs and more complex projects.

Discovered a neat new tool last week: <https://github.com/wr7/refold>

It's similar to fmt and fold except that it automatically handles prefixes. Vim/Neovim gq can do this out of the box but fails (for me at least) when multiple prefixes are present, such as a Markdown block-quote inside Rust comments. E.g.

// > Some quoted text  
// > to reflow.  

refold handles this.

"Almost everything has been done by someone else before. Almost nothing you want to do is truly novel. And language models are exceptionally good at giving you solutions to things they've seen before."

I collect examples of this kind of thing, and this is by far the most exhaustive list of practical LLM uses I've seen.

I read the first two chapters of

<https:lazyvim-ambitious-devs.phillips.codes/>

Very well written, concise course / e-book by Dusty Phillips. Gives context when needed and even explains a bit of Vim basics which I did not know. I am currently experimenting it using the NVIM_APPNAME environment variable but the results are impressive so far. I might swap my handwritten configuration for what comes out of this course.
