Today is the day. I left the office for the last time an hour ago. Time sheets filed, corporate laptop handed in, goodbyes said.
I'm now working full time on Marginalia Search.

Working full time on an open source internet search engine. Acting librarian of the weird corners of the web.
- All you need to understand the state of LinkedIn and HN the last few months can be found in this openclaw template:
- If programmer speed and efficiency was truly such a significant competitive factor, we wouldn't be packing them like sardines them in noisy and stuffy open floor plan offices.
- Did some local LLM-based labeling of the HN comment corpus, tasking the model to classify how likely it is that each comment is: * Using AI-like grammar (e.g. it's not X, it's Y) * Using AI-like markup (e.g. em-dashes) * Trying to shill something * Trying to influence public
- Did some statistics, and it seems posts from newly registered accounts on HN are nearly 10x more likely to use EM-dashes, arrows, and similar typography than established accounts. marginalia.nu/weird-ai-crap/…
