Recent commentary

since Anthropic has been directed by the USG to nerf Fable whenever it tries to do anything "useful", I have conclusively proven that since Fable has not nerfed me even *once* in tonight's foray into abstract algebra and type theory, that category theory truly is just abstract nonsense, as designed.

So while we all complain about how nerfed Fable is, I must say, in discovering where I'll get cockblocked by doing anything LLM related, it's been fun to exercise the Colab MCP server in Claude Code! Claude loves writing stuff and saying "when you put this on a real GPU...", now I go: "dooo eeeet!"

My latest foray into agentic assistance for General Stuff. A technique I'm calling "the accidental Chief of Staff": I wanted to play w/Hermes-Agent, so I installed + hooked it up (it auto-configured itself (asking for permission) to use all the various config files and API keys I had around) [1/n]
