Behind The Skeet: I fiddled around a lot with "horse-tinted spectacles" but couldn't make it work in a way that felt real, pertinent to the situation, or true to myself.

(I do appreciate that I may be somewhat too close to the .horse situation, and that it may be the case that metaphorically when you have a hammer, everything also looks like a .horse, as it were. But here we are. I work with what I have.)

I added some tracking/a basic chart to every.horse a while ago and, while I appreciate correlation != causation, I will say that my new personal conspiracy theory is that the Iran war is currently negatively impacting .horse sales

Photo of an older man sitting in a booth at an American diner. Backed by windows painted black with night, he stoops over a table, grasping a PS3 controller in both hands.

Set up on the table in front of him is a large-ish flat screen TV, on which we can see Demon's Souls being played.

Happy 10th anniversary to this photo of some auld fella playing Demons Souls at an Arbys

Crenjamin's Law: If you cannot remember the name of a law or theory, you can just call it "Crenjamin's Law" and no-one will call you out on it.

Being a Luddite Is Cool and All, but Have You Seen the Hilarious Tapestries These New Looms Are Making? Don’t get me wrong, I’m as invested in keeping my job as the next weaver. When the boss brought in that big new power loom, I was pretty skeptical....

Anything which has both a Data Room (the room in which we keep the data) and a Moon Pool (the pool in which we keep the moon) is extremely powerful.

MediaFM: The Multimodal AI Foundation for Media Understanding at Netflix Avneesh Saluja, Santiago Castro, Bowei Yan, Ashish Rastogi

The same argument has been made about 'content' for a few years - that it will become a viewer-dependent, truly on-demand thing. Adverts to start (see Netflix multimodal AI model for generating adverts and trailers netflixtechblog.com/mediafm-the-...) but eventually tone, edits.
'Liquid Content'.

Architecturally very stupid, I mean. Besides that though, yes, stupid also in lots of other ways.

I added #webmcp to this, largely just to see what I could maybe do with it, and now I have an SPA that lets me say 'highlight any MQTT traffic related to battery usage on this public MQTT broker' and it'll do that in-browser, and this is a deeply stupid but fun thing to be able to do.

I made a simple open-source #MQTT visualisation tool using AI-assisted coding. It is useful for getting a real-time sense of how your traffic is flowing in an MQTT broker, and for quickly exploring topic trees in general. I continue to feel weird about vibe coding.
