Building software and riding EUCs - github.com/timmattison - only tech

Github merge queues are so broken. Very often I set a PR to merge when it is ready and it never does. I then have to disable automerge on that PR and re-enable it and it instantly goes in the queue.

Github actions strikes again. Installing dependencies on one run took 26 seconds. On another run it is at 29 minutes and counting.

I've got a Github action that has been running for 23 minutes. It runs a 7 minute job that has finished. The UI says it's running. The API says it's running. But I can't cancel it because the UI also says it's not running. Do I get billed for heisenstates?

.@AnthropicAI can you make Claude handle HUP signals? It should essentially just do a `/restart` on the session but only if it is idle and not asking a question.

Me: Change the word A to B Claude: ... Claude: ... Minutes later Claude: I changed A to B. It's fully mutation tested. I did red/green TDD. I'll be honest, one round of TDD got put into one commit. If you'd like we can do an interactive rebase on another branch to fix it.

Do the same health insurance company employees that dole out endless claim rejections get their claims rejected too? Do they just know that’s the game and they understand how to work the system better?

Has anyone else noticed that Claude now randomly includes Chinese characters in English language conversations? And they're not random. They're in place of the English word you'd expect to be there. So far I've seen it do it for "response" and "village".

I wish there was a law that forced insurance companies to send someone to the hospital to tell families in person that their hospital stay is unnecessary and will be denied. It would give everyone a chance to talk it out calmly and find a compromise if necessary.

re: OpenAI’s announcement on Navier Stokes. Make sure anyone you know who still says “it’s just autocomplete” doubles down on that stance and swears off AI even harder.

A limit on ptys in any OS is stupid

Love sponsored listings $508 takes 19h 06m $455 takes 22h 40m (cheapest) $1,163 takes 25h 25m (fastest sponsored)

I've never had the displeasure of using Hyper-V until today. Who was the genius who decided they'd make just duplicating a VM such an annoying mine field? Every other VM platform got this right years ago.

Even when it’s 126% done it still has more than 9 hours to go

C'mon Anthropic, all systems operational?

OK, now you're being more honest.
