* [A Taste of Vanlife][5]
> Camping has always been one of my favorite hobbies, but I've always wondered what life might be like on four wheels. It's difficult to think about living on the road indefinitely—and understandably so. I'm not really into the idea of getting rid of all of my posessions and living out of a van, constantly on the move. But surely, there's a way to try out that lifestyle without making such a drastic commitment?
* [I'm a feminist and I think it's harder to be a man than a woman.][6]
> Very earnestly I believe that despite greater access to power and resources, the box labeled “socially acceptable ways to be a man” is much smaller than the box labeled “socially acceptable ways to be a woman.”
* [Moving on from 18F. — Ethan Marcotte][7]
> During that time, a friend suggested that while things were calm at work, I should write down some lines I wouldnt want to cross: things Id want to watch out for that, if they materialized, might be a reason to leave. This was wonderful advice, and Im grateful to them for it. Equipped with a plan, even a small one, I started thinking through what my lines would be.
* [The Tiny Book of Great Joys · Muffin Man][8]
> If you are interested in how I over-engineered the process of making a tiny book for my wife, using AI, a pen plotter, a 3D printer, and a lot of time, you are in the right place. The book is titled The Tiny Book of Great Joys, and here is how it turned out.
* [Ollama - NSHipster][9]
> If you wait for Apple to deliver on its promises, youre going to miss out on the most important technological shift in a generation. The future is here today. You dont have to wait. With Ollama, you can start building the next generation of AI-powered apps right now.
* [Is it okay?][10]
> How do you make a language model? Goes like this: erect a trellis of code, then allow the real program to grow, its development guided by a grueling training process, fueled by reams of text, mostly scraped from the internet. Now. I want to take a moment to think together about a question with no remaining practical importance, but persistent moral urgency: Is that okay?
* [I missed the memo for the outside space at this coffee shop… Manton Reece][11]
> The bittersweet irony with parenting is not knowing until years later what you had.
* [You Cant Post Your Way Out of Fascism][12]
> We dont need any more irony-poisoned hot takes or cathartic, irreverent snark. We need to collectively decide what kind of world we actually do want, and what were willing to do to achieve it.
