About Last Night
It didn’t go so well. I spent 6 hours on my feet and made just enough money to buy a cup of coffee this morning that I am going to need to stay awake after that long shift.
HOPEFULLY! this weekend will be a lot better. I just do not understand peoples irrational fear of having someone park their car? It is the only thing that is truly free (tipping is optional) in Virginia Beach. They are paying for it when they get their $250 / night room so why not take advantage of it? I would honestly rather make nothing in tips than stand around doing nothing for six hours.
I am going to have to try a new approach to appeal to these people. If I make them think that they “need” to have their car parked or… if they do not have their car parked then they will be missing out on something then maybe they will be more inclined to let me do so. lol
But something really cute did happen. A Little kid came up to me and was like “Mr. can we ride the luggage carts?” hahaha.. i was like no buddy thats not safe sorry. Adorable!

via Christopher Butler November 3, 2026Internet Archive’s alphabet
I love the Internet Archive, but I don’t love its interface. It’s just… not great all around, homely and confusing. It has some endearing qualities, harking back to the web of the 1990s without endless commerce and incessant growth hacking – Wikipedia feel...

Yesterday's hot paper was Sparks of Weight-Space Programming: LLMs can natively read & write neural network weights by Rikiya Takehi, Jayden Teoh, Alex Zhang, and Omar Khattab. The paper (OK, the authors classify is as a "blog post", but it's paper-shaped)...
