this is Yoda, she stole my HEB tortilla blanket and spot on the couch

while I totally agree, I do feel like when stats like this get thrown around we don't always talk about ZIRP did to those jobs too. from a slide I had in a talk last year:

had a nice first day hike in Saguaro National Park, followed by some hot tub time, rainbows, and Afghan take out for dinner

what I mean by commercial, there were times today that ~72% of our energy today came from renewable sources (solar + wind). if ERCOT can get this, we should be able to have better fuel sources for all texans.

the feminine urge to put two 25s on this but I have a sprained ankle 😭

at least I’m back to lifting!

important holiday gift alert: HEB now has not just the tortilla throw (my fav, using it now) but also a concha wearable blanket

I'm sure people will handle this information properly and not say that ChatGPT had a breach. people will read the details and not say stuff like, you shouldn't be paying for ChatGPT.

(it wasn't ChatGPT, it was the OpenAI API frontend)

such an incredible show. always in awe of david byrne’s brain. 10/10 would see again. my only photo since they asked to limit photos.

I hung out with a bot while touching grass! and went to a nursery to buy plants, baked a pie, and trimmed pottery. and now going to see David Byrne.

It links to this article, which honestly just seems like a PR article for some company's "security report" www.eenewseurope.com/en/report-fi...

And the the substack also linked to another version of same: sdtimes.com/security/ai-...

So I go find this GenAI Code Security Report from Veracode...

I keep seeing some version of this when it comes to AI-generated code related stats being shared and I am just begging people to dig deeper. I saw folks on here share a stat that says, "AI-generated code contains 322% more security vulnerabilities." And I'm like okay, what's the source on this? 🧵

went for a ten mile walk today around town lake and now my hip hates me. but at least the weather was gorgeous.

late night in the studio again and might have just thrown one of my best planters, close to 6 inches tall and pretty even overall

finally lifted again after a couple of months off with injuries and travel. time to get my body ready to get on skis again (and get my skis ready).

and this is after I took two things off to get bisque fired

I literally have no room for more ceramic projects without stacking on top of each other 🫣

you know when the band comes out to the Pete Seeger version of “Which side are you on?” and told DHS to “go f… yourselves” earlier this year when they used one of their songs, it’s going to be a great show. glad I got to see Black Rebel Motorcycle Club at Mohawk last night.

arts and craft project for the weekend

I sort of messed it up at the end with my glue work but it not bad seeing as I have never drawn a monarch butterfly before

I'm not entirely sure how @jonmarkgo.bsky.social is still doing this after 15 years 😂

also some students made me feel old when they told me they were 7 when I helped start HackTX in college 😭 it was good to stop by to see a few old friends!
