awestroke··on NASA announces unprecedented return of sick ISS astronaut and crew
The CIA is also taxpayer funded. Do you have similar expectations of transparency into their missions?

Claude Opus 4.5 is a paradigm shift
awestroke··on ZJIT is now available in Ruby 4.0

I use Axum+SQLx and for html templates I use Maud. The plan is to move to Dioxus as a step 2
awestroke··on ZJIT is now available in Ruby 4.0
I recently rewrote one of my rails apps in rust. Used Claude 4.5 Opus heavily and it was very fast.

One thing that's struck me with the new code is that's its so easy to follow compared to rails. It's like two different extremes on the implicit-explicit spectrum. Yet it's not like I have tons more boilerplate code now, I think I have maybe 10 or 20% more SLOC than before.

I'll probably do this with my other rails apps as well.

awestroke··on Pricing Changes for GitHub Actions
They still host all artefacts and logs for these self-hosted runs. Probably costs them a fair bit
awestroke··on Developing a food-safe finish for my wooden spoons
When the wood fibers get wet they swell and become soft. When soft, the surface will be very sensitive to damage. Fibers on the surface will raise and then not return to their original position, causing surface roughness. Repeated cycles of wet/dry will cause cracks.

awestroke··on CRISPR fungus: Protein-packed, sustainable, and tastes like meat
The trouble is that “tastes good” isn’t a blank canvas. It’s built on hardwired signals plus learned associations. Our basic tastes evolved as nutritional indicators: sweet signals energy, umami signals protein, bitter warns of potential toxins. And our brains are rather insistent about finding flavors more pleasant when they match patterns we’ve already learned are safe.

Jell-O actually proves this rather than refuting it. It succeeds because it hits that hardwired sweet preference, not because it invented some novel taste dimension. A truly new taste that doesn’t map onto the existing five basics would likely register as “off” rather than delicious. Your brain wouldn’t know what to do with it, nutritionally speaking.

So you’d have to either work within those existing taste channels while creating novel combinations and textures, or somehow condition people to associate genuinely new sensations with safety and reward. The latter is slow going. We’re quite literally built to be suspicious of unfamiliar foods.
