What Dogs said. It's just basically using Claude (or your AI chat platform of choice) to code up stuff. You can do apps, webpages... other stuff that I have no idea ... It's in the tech ether but I learned of it through the Hard Fork podcast. I had wanted to see if I could make something too.

I've finally dipped my toe into the wacky world of vibe-coding. I dunno if I want to slap myself for having used that term or not. I sound like I'm 80 years old and all teh kidz have moved on to some other term. In any case, I just coded up a small app to let my students practice Japanese numbers. I feel invincible.

Wadaiko is the best! I was briefly in a group and loved it. Was never able to pick it back up in NY (even though there are circles). I'm excited for you!

Everyone I know is losing their damn minds, including me. I couldn't get to sleep until after 1:00. But those refs....... the Spurs and the Knicks deserve better.

I got faked out because the guide said that it was the Pat McAfee show. I thought that it was going to be what they do for tennis sometimes. For example, Wimbledon would have the station that carries it but if you go to the Wimbledon site expecting a live feed, it's just live chat about the match.

Actually I take that back. Not sound but the signal keeps glitching so it gets pixelated and comes back.

No, sound is fine for me. I wonder why it's doing that... This is the excitement I wish I had seen yesterday for the French Open final.

It said it was on ABC. I was like ok cool. I have Sling though and I found out that for SOME reason it geolocates and I don't get any local ABC stations thru it. Just local ABC news ones. It didn't look like ESPN was running it so I went down the rabbit hole. I was able to get it on my computer because VPN but not my TV. Turns out it *was* on ESPN. This is just plain stupid. Edit: This would never happen in NY. Grr.

I just spent *checks time* a full 1/2 hr freaking trying to find a live broadcast because you can't just turn on a tv and it just works anymore without playing treasure hunt to find the appropriate app. Anyways,... go Knicks!!

I was also of a similar theory that how do we know that He was even invited? Edit: TIL that The Bahamas don't allow entry to adjudicated rapists so there's that...
