I make things.
I was watching a video about CERN testing that antimatter containment unit by transporting 19 antiprotons. One of the comments I saw was just "who wants to brake check the antimatter truck" and I found that profoundly funny.

I just concluded a decade long experiment. I had a USB flash drive in a jar buried in my back yard since 2015. I dug it up, plugged it in and it suffered no data loss after 11 years idle underground.

It's a usless experiment but everyone needs hobbies.

I feel we really should stop calling LLMs AI, They aren't artificial intelligence they are simulated intelligence. There is no real intelligence, no thought no persistence. It's just word prediction.

I find it interesting that most billionaires and CEOs of large corporations seems to have the mental capacity and social/emotional maturity of children.

Like they are so isolated and removed from normal human society they don't understand how a normal human thinks acts or functions. The McDonald's CEO doesn't even know how to handle a hamburger, and doesn't know how to talk normaly or convey normal human emotions.

I hope they get their billionaire space resort and it suffers a hull breach.

I am so stoked for season 5 of For all Mankind.

For All Mankind Season 5 gets a trailer. Watch it here https://bit.ly/4b5loi5

The world’s solar capacity reached 1,419 gigawatts in 2023, way beyond any predictions. 1 gigawatt = power for a medium sized city
In the process of making all the art myself and learning how to optimize textures, ive also learned a lot of useful skill I'm going to implement in Cosmic Ocean when I return to working on it. I feel kind of bad that CO has been in development purgatory for like 2 years but it's next on my list.

The little infinite dungeon crawler roguelike game ive been working on since last year is starting to really come together. Originally just an artistic distraction because ive not done a fantasy game yet, I've grown to feel pride in it.

As time goes on I become more tired of Alberta and wish to move to a different province.

And i'm someone with agoraphobia who hasn't left my city in years and I still want to leave. That tells you something.
