Programmer and game developer.

Added vertical writing support to the Calibre eBook reader.

My current project is working on a new, simplified approach to creating programming languages that are written without the need for traditional grammars or parsing.

Capturing actor Robert O’Reilly as the bug-eyed high chancellor was tricky but oh so satisfying. Getting the LEGO pieces in the correct colors was another matter all together. You might have seen some of my frustrations in my LEGO posts these last few months.

The result was totally worth it however. This is likely a one-off creation. #StarTrek #DeepSpaceNine

Might be useful information for someone... VR headset weight is important for me because the Quest 3's weight was actually bothering me and I got a Bigscreen Beyond 2e as a replacement.

The Quest 3 VR headset with the battery strap and silicone face interface is 813 grams.

The as yet unreleased Steam Frame is listed as 440 grams with the headstrap.

The Bigscreen Beyond 2e with the audio strap is about 335 grams.

I might get a Steam Frame eventually. Inside-out tracking is very nice.

Happy Mother’s Day everyone, and best of luck keeping all your little ones together.

I don't think it can be emphasized enough that a fundamental part of LLMs is a literal random number generator that's used to decide next tokens.

How about we start saying "Friends don't let friends play dice with civilization?"

Twenty stalks growing from a central icosahedron, each branching in to three separate flowers.

If you'd like your very own local privilege escalation vulnerability that doesn't require these esoteric scripts and weird kernel flaws, you can set one up yourself easily by simply configuring sudo to not require a password!

Today on "can't make this shit up":

I've been in a German hospital for a few weeks. For every meal we get to pick from three options. My hospital roomie picked "fish and chips".

Lo and behold:

Leatherback sea turtles are one of the most active vertebrates on Earth. They are constantly on the move, almost never rest, and sleep with one brain hemisphere at a time. It is estimated that they are active around 99.9% of their lives.

This means that if you pick any individual leatherback sea turtle, at any moment there is a higher likelihood that it is active than that Github is.
