Spec-Driven AI Development

You write a prompt, hit enter, and watch the console light up green. Code pours out. It feels like magic. Then you try to maintain the thing a week later, and you realize your shiny new AI agent just built a leaking bucket.

Legal Torrents

I'm sure you already know BitTorrent, but I didn't know about Legal Torrents until today where music can be downloaded and distributed for free legally. :) Great place.

Panther hang

My Mac locked up! While this may not be surprising, it's worth noting as my Mac virtually never hangs. Had the look and feel of a filesystem hang. The userinterface updated nicely, all network ports accepted connections, but the windowsmanager wouldn't respond to any clicks, just moving the mouse and the ports never presented anything much, and it all happened upon multiple known writes. Anyways, only lost data is a save of a mail that had been sent before the hang. :)

Smoking ban in place

For you non-Norwegians, Norway has put a public in-door smoking-ban in place. :) Great for us non-smokers. I wonder what going out will be like now. :)

Food culture

I'm shocked! I read Fast Food Nation about two years ago and didn't like it much because as I was reading mainly science at the time, its "proofs" didn't hold one bit and it was through-and-through pop. Bo-ring. Anyways, reading my regular blogs, this guy concluded he eats fast-food 3-4 times a week. I knew there were differences in european and american eating culture, but is this really representative? Should I eat a fast-food menu once every two or three weeks, I'd find that really depressing, and the occational saussage I eat when too busy when I'm in Oslo is not a good thing. It's not filling like regular food is. Hope this is just one standing out, but with the movie Supersize me he was referring to and Fast Food Nation and countless american shows, I'm beginning to wonder

African watersupply

This is a great incentive for communities with poor water-supply to make merry-go-rounds. Kids run waterpumps by playing! Good stuff! I'm not to certain about a water-wheel, though. I imagine it hurts backs and is incredibly uncomfortable. But then again I haven't tried a two-digit number kilos of water on my head either. Thanks to aWholeLotANothing for pointing me to them
