There's a big branding problem, because "AI" is getting used to describe all this tech. People conflate AI image/music generation (computationally heavy) with coding (light), and assume they are the same. I can run a decent coding model locally, with just a slight resource increase.
Seems to me there is a huge distinction between AI applications that are basically working towards full natural lanugage programming, task management etc and AI applications to *make new stuff*. The former seems both more promising as an actual useful tech and also way way less ethically dubious

Been listening to a lot of Nine Inch Nails recently, and I have two observations:
1. The songs from Tron: Ares are pretty good.
2. Every NiN song is just a single chord.

ruin two bands by combining them:
Man or Astromannheim Steamroller
Twisted Sister Sledge
Bel Biv Devo
Men Without Foghats
Sixpence None the Richard Thompson
I’m no good at this because I want to hear all these bands.

Watched "My Secret Santa" on Netflix. Wondrously silly and predicable, but pleasant. I have one quibble:
How is someone from a late 2000s punk band, who hasn't played in 15 years, able to jump right into a Chuck Berry Christmas song with no practice?

It's not too early for Christmas shows, like #MistletoeMurders ... I love this bit of pseudocode. `hash_crack` would work, assuming this was the exact way the hash was created. The rest is just printing stuff.

I would like to support various creators monetarily. But lots of monthly charges across multiple platforms is not something I'm willing to do.
I'm going to research a platform that takes in a single donation, monthly or yearly, and allows you spilt it across multiple creators. I've got ideas...

A little weekend side-project: Using Laravel + Reverb to power a browser-based, multi-player game... like Club Penguin or Habbo Hotel.
I've got multiple characters on screen, and tracks position... but they teleport instead of smooth movements. Not a bad start tho

Rushmore was filmed in Houston, but it wasn't really like a "character"... It could've been shot anywhere.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a movie I have “seen” over two hundred times in theaters, although after a while you stop paying attention to the actual movie. Point is, I was on a podcast about it and here it is!

Weird how I find out news in 2025.
Ace was my guy as a kid. Others were into Gene because of the blood and fire (admittedly pretty cool), but I wanted the Les Paul with glowing pickup and smoke, and fireworks shooting out the head. I believe he was my Halloween costume more then once.

I guess we all knew that both Susan Stamberg and Ace Frehley wouldn’t want to live in this mixed up world without the other.

Just finished the audiobook. The narrator's choice of accents was... interesting.
Pretty much the entire book was me listening to a chapter, pausing, going on Spotify /YouTube to follow along.

The Cars biography is so good.
Kind of sad they basically broke up because the bass player's solo record was more popular than the songwriter's.
