I simulated my friend Philippe, using ~50 of his texts about work and life, using chatgpt and with the chunks+embeddings system being visualized in real time, as if it were Philippe's brain retrieving relevant memories to answer a question.

I recently took a photo of Omega Centauri, a fantastic globular cluster (left). For the 10min exercise I figured I could do a quick visual simulation (right). I used a simple model called Plummer for stars distributions on GCs.

I drove a couple of hours into the Pampas to scape light pollution from Buenos Aires, and took this photo of Omega Centauri, a globular cluster. I use regular camera and zoom lens, but spent the whole night taking hundreds of 2.5s photos.

This is my first experiment doing #solarigraphy (pinhole photo, using a can and photo paper), just one month duration, the last days of fall. And on solstice day I placed two cans that will be tracking the sun the next 6 months, from lowest to highest path.
