I regularly encounter young researchers who believe that writing things down is beneath them.
They think it’s just a small experiment, a little hyperparameter sweep and they’ll remember it later. They won’t.
if it’s worth using compute, it’s worth writing down

3yo’s favorite part of the AF museum was anything he could sit in, followed by the Model T ambulance (wanted to drive it) followed by any yellow airplane.
He didn’t care for the B2

War is coming!
To be reminded when Red State Mars is about to drop, sign up here.
Will there be coffee mugs, a poster of the cover, & poster of the (amazing!!!) map of the Nine Cities of Mars?
Maybe! Perhaps even special offers to folks who sign up now

The Ultimate Resource (2) continues to be interesting. It explained the origin of these “farmland forever” signs around some local suburban farms. Unfortunately, the origin is always incompetence, lies, and, ultimately theft of my tax dollars

Claim about German farms moved and replaced before/after lignite strip mining is probably too strong, based on some LLM-assisted review

Its done. Should launch to no fanfare tomorrow. I've got to finish building and deploying the windows client, deploy the linux client, deploy the web client, and build the server images. Too sleepy to finish.

Variable bit rate is done for Linux.
Self hosting with SQLite DynamicDNS on Linux is complete.
Ham-fisted release pipeline is done.
Having a minor issue with audio capture on Linux but I think I just figured that out.
Docker containers should be done today.

After a suspenseful evening, the first second-born son in my patriline since the turn of the last century graced us with his presence just before noon today.
He brought with him an auspicious sign marking the evening's challenge: a true knot tied with his umbilical cord.

Somehow my eldest has gotten obsessed with the statue of liberty. She takes every opportunity to strike the pose. Very on brand for the 250th
