I started a newsletter! I wanted a place to write medium-length content that was less ephemeral than a tweet but more conversational than a blog. I’ll cover everything from web dev and nerd stuff to family and culture. I’d be honored if you subscribed: onlygoodtakes.com

This is also everyone who watched “You Can See Everything” talking to any other person who watched it. The variety of interpretations is staggering. Everyone has a DIFFERENT thing they are sure a scene was saying.

What’s your favorite number between 1 and 39402006196394479212279040100143613805079739270465446667946905279627659399113263569398956308152294913554433653942642? The security of the internet depends on this so don’t biff it.

Really embarrassing when I’m at a red light and have the radio turned up and it’s making my car audibly reverberate but it’s because Meghna Chakrabarti on NPR is going “mmm, mmmm” while some dude talks about U.S.–Canada relations.

“Wait, you’re Marissa Pagliacci?!”
At random tech event with like 30 people. "hey I'm Bryan, what something cool you are building" "Hi I'm Marissa, I'm working on agentic photos, after leaving yaho" "Oh that must be awkward, being at yahoo with the same name as the Yahoo CEO" "I was the yahoo CEO" "....."

I got in trouble when I was 14 for stealing third base. We were demolishing the other team and I was on second after having doubled. The pitcher was flustered and in his head. His eyes wandered and I saw an opportunity. I was basically at third before he even noticed. My coach chastised me in front of the whole team at the end of the inning. Still don’t know how I feel about it. It was kind of a shitty thing for me to do, but also… that’s the game, and learning to deal with an overwhelming and embarrassing loss is part of why sports are so good for kids.

Listening to a YouTube video at 3× speed about how mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell so I can release a revolutionary medical device in the next 365 days.

Is there a good way to stop this nonsense on Telegram? It’s like five times a day.

You probably have a short window to see “You Can See Everything” before you get spoiled because oh my god you will want to talk about it.

I’m so used to being able to talk to my computers and have them do what I want that it’s jarring when dealing with Apple

Nice HomeAssistant automation I set up at my wife’s behest: at sundown, the main living area lights dim to 40% if on, and the dimmers will limit them to 40% until sunup.

Started eating 60¢ ramen packets for dinner to see if I could handle following the financial advice I give my zoomer kids. (NOT EVERY MEAL HAS TO BE $40 AND DELICIOUS). Outcome: I’m addicted to 60¢ ramen packets. This stuff is so dang good. 🤗

It’s great. My daily driver. It may have even surpassed Pi in terms of how much you can customize it.

Building an @opencode v2 interface for my LG TV, using that same coding harness interface on my TV to… build itself. This might actually be awesome.

I’ve since built markdown support, model selection, cd, session management, tool calls, skill loading, steering messages, OLED protection, rebuilding, clipboard, selection and text navigation, interruptions. It’s actually really nice to use.
