What @Tarale doesn't mention, is the amount of work that went into that. I have looked at the original, with focus merge, blown right up. The detail is - wow.

Reconnecting with friends with whom I have not communicated, since I left the UK. Under tragic circumstances, following the death of the person who used to be my best mate.

These used to be really good friends. Their baby, as was, back then, is now in his late 20s.

But... It seems like we can pick up, from where we left off. After so long, when friends were pretty much forbidden to me - this feels a good way to move into Live 2.0

I can't believe that this is coming up for 50 years, in a couple of years. But, then I tend to still think of myself as being about 25, when I am, in fact, 58.

You are only as old as you let people convince you to think that you are.

Ha! Don't use Minkowski, they said, it will take forever to render, they said, it will make your computer assplode, they said.

I didn't buy this computer for its GPU (too small for doing inference), but for its CPU and RAM, to run Whisper ASR.

It's only AFTER I bought it, that I discovered that it is designated as WORKSTATION.

The object with Minkowski rendered in a fraction of a second.

Sometimes, cheap, refurb computers can be absolutely shit hot.

Woohoo, now everything can have curved edges! No more stabbing myself with corners!
