I was messing about during the F1 this morning seeing how far I could conceivably get with Codex controlling my Unifi stuff.

Talking to software is the future, the new UI paradigm, I'm fairly convinced of that. We're in this uncanny valley - a bit like we are with "driverless" cars - where we are asking AI systems to control systems (drive a car) like a human would.

Unifi is an interesting example here because many of the administrative tasks are not exposed via an API (this is sad). So you have to play clickops to do it.

So using Playwright, I had codex create a skill for itself that could monitor and configure my WiFi channels on my 3 APs and notify of any issues. It took about 45 mins end to end but now I have piece of bespoke software that does exactly what I need it to do.

So, I ask you. What are software companies going to be doing in a few years time? Things are going to look real different.

If the computer is a prosthetic (and it is) then this means we legitimately have to be careful about what software we run, because we are deciding what to make part of our selves, part of our minds

python complain

a thing always messes me up is that

bytes([42])

evaluates to a byte sequence with one element (42), while

bytes(42)

evaluates to a byte sequence of 42 zeroes. the latter behavior is really weird to me, since it's not analogous with other sequence-y constructors like list() or str(). (personally i'd prefer for bytes(42) to raise a TypeError like list(42) does.) the original bytes PEP sheds no light on why this behavior was chosen peps.python.org/pep-0358/

Hi! My name is Anna! I’m a traditional artist from Kyiv 🇺🇦 . I paint, I adore cats, and I love working out at the gym.

I’m always working on my English, but sometimes I might post in Ukrainian because I don’t always feel like double-checking every word. I hope that’s okay.

I’m not much of a talker, and I’m not quite sure yet what exactly I’ll be posting here, but I wanted to give it a try🫶
