I like this concept

You look in the corner, you see a guy quietly eating cigarette butts. It's ok. He's dealing with a lot of stress from work. He takes care of his family. Capitalism

Likewise... you look in the corner, you see a guy quietly eating cigarette butts. It's ok. He's dealing with a lot of stress for lack of work, or food, or future. He wants to take care of his family. Communism. We haven’t figured out yet. Maybe we never will.

I still remember Max getting sandwiched between the two Ferraris in the first ever wet night race (Singapore 2017). Today he finally managed to win a race there. That's quite a long wait.

Not sure if I put it on untappd but I still remember the "soggy" beer at the track that day 😄

Currently reading Guards Guards by Terry Pratchett

I dislike commuting on public transport sometimes cause the trips feel longer sometimes but also don't want to drive the morning traffic

every society gets the kind of criminals it deserves.

what is that supposed to mean?

I noticed today that I'm an idiot. I built a static site generator with NO DATA MODEL. Beginning to fix it now, but my god how embarrassing. Hobbyist less than amateur...wow. Good thing my day job isn't at stake.

Are rose colored glasses pink?

are pink coloured glasses rose?

more like 0.0.1 :P

I like this, it's simple

I'm a simple man. I see a new platform, I grab my handle. 😎

Maybe it'll end up being a case of stated vs revealed preference, but I feel like Apple's really missing the moment with their latest products. People by and large want less tech in their lives right now, not screens and AI stuff everywhere.

What's everyone's favorite book? Mine is Anathem.

I don't really do favorites when it comes to reading, but Ghost in the Wires is one of my most read books, so I imagine that counts for something.

Pretty much anything Becky Chambers writes, just got started in As you wake, break the shell. But I think my all time favorite is record of a spaceborn few.

Use of Weapons by Iain M Bamks. Absolutely stuffed full of scenarios, a gut-wrenching story and another of his great twists at the end.

…

i was reading from Ballard's "The Complete Stories of …" today. I don't have a "favourite book" but it's one of my faves and it was in my hands today.

Great Expectations

i made an extension to get a top hacker news items with summary on every new tab. chromewebstore.google.com/…/pmlajlgklmgabkhammfolkgkeghamjnn

cool! i've made The Front Page you might want to check it out also - it shows the first 3 pages of HN with AI summaries and images. Like a newspaper.

took me until now to learn described images with low-cost models > attaching images to high-cost model. silly me. output quality remains, cost lowers.

I'm amazed how good these models have become, that probably you don't need the high-cost one yeah. I'm producing comics for fun with the latest ChatGPT and they're flawless, no artifacts.

Mind's empty. Heart's full. Desires? Average.
