I keep things here that I like.
I saw a job posting that genuinely excited me for the first time in a while. The company finds copper deposits using AI. They operate in Zambia, the DRC, Finland, and a dozen other places. The field connectivity problem alone, keeping scientists online at remote sites...
PhotoCheckWP is a WordPress plugin that runs every image upload through the Google Cloud Vision API before it can go live. I built it because I watched editors pull images off Google Search for years. Not because they were being reckless, but because nobody had built...
Dial in your CURT 17063 weight distribution hitch the right way. Measure, adjust, and download a dated setup record when you’re done.
I play sanctioned disc golf, which means I care about improvement in a measurable way. For a while I was tracking my putting practice in a Google Sheet, distances, makes, misses, percentages, because I needed to know whether the work I was putting in was actually...
I have 627 rounds of disc golf data sitting in a UDisc export. For years I dropped that CSV into a spreadsheet, ran some formulas, and tried to answer a simple question: am I getting better? The spreadsheet worked until it stopped working, which is the thing...
The jackpot is sitting at $467 million for Saturday November 8, 2025, which seemed like a good reason to run the script again. Same code as before, smaller number range, new lottery. Previous Experiment and Result Let’s see what happens. (note: 2M takes about 1 sec....
By fifty, most of us have earned our share of scars and wisdom. We finally begin to see what really matters and what never did. These eight truths are the lessons that come after the noise fades — about happiness, health, time, and learning to forgive.
Ox Bow Park in August is a beast. The fairways are stupid tight. Some maybe eight feet wide if you're lucky. The rough? Forget about it. Stray off line and you might need two shots just to see sunlight again. Yeah, there are a few open holes, but most of the time...
When I am working on something, music is a big help to keep focused. Ambient music is perfect for this. The other thing I like is some movement on screens. I usually work with multiple screens which is great for. lot of things. But one of the things it does is to give...
Averaging down is a strategy where investors buy additional shares of a stock after its price has declined, thereby reducing the average cost per share of their position. The idea is that if a stock drops due to short-term market volatility or temporary setbacks,...
The Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is a classic puzzle in optimization that’s as fascinating as it is challenging. Imagine you’re planning a road trip where you need to visit a bunch of cities, but you want to do it in the shortest possible way without repeating any...
I love playing disc golf. There is something about the discs flying through the air and (hopefully) landing where you were aiming that is very cathartic to me. I started playing in the early 90s when I lived in Rochester, NY. There was a group of guys that I played...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzG-qji05Lc I happened upon this band / song. "Wenceslas", the second video taken from Gnome's album "King" on Polderrecords.Music by Gnome - Facebook Recorded & Mixed at RockstarRecordings by Frank Rotthier - Mastered by Larsson...
To say I have been fascinated with text to image AI would be a major understatement. The image above is of a woman that does not exist, wearing a "mask" and other Mardis Gras paraphernalia.Update: This is a place holder for the state of AI Image generation as I found...
So, I wish I were a more saavy investor. But I tend to geek on the maths and the gambling nature of it all. I have a couple of stocks that have done very poorly. One is NEPT, Neptune Wellness, that had a reverse 12:1 split. Meaning for every 12 shares I had, I now...
So in a previous post, I used ChatGPT to write a lottery number simulator/chooser. It is set to a low number of iterations now, but when I ran it through to actually choose the numbers I was going to play, I let it iterate 30 million times per choice. So the number...
It is no secret that I love John Vanderslice. He kept me going during covid with live Instagram shows weekly. I think those shows kept him going to. One of the coolest things he did was some living room shows. I was able to see him, talk to him, and listen to him in...
I have been messing around with ChatGPT a lot in the last 2 months. I thought it would be interesting to use it to program a random number generator, that also kept track of frequencies of certain numbers over many iterations. Every bit of this code and the css was...
Originally written by Jim Kukral HERE there is also an infographic on his site HERE Feeling down about your small business these days? Is the broken economy hurting your sales and keeping you up at night? Need some motivation and tough love to help you stop pitying...
Many of us know the internet is big, but how many of us know how big it really is? Here are a couple of infographics that will help put the hugeness of the internet into perspective.
