What's the best thing since sliced bread? Sliced bread with no crust! I just learned about it and had to get a loaf.

AI generated, because reasons #AI #AIgenerated

I was out fetching kolaches this morning (yum) and there were a ton of police out. I went past a bunch of early voting places and haven't seen any ICE agents "protecting" them yet.

You know that pharmacy that was quick where you place your order in the morning and it's ready in the afternoon? Not any more. It's been three days now.

I voted already, so, back off man. Chill the nap out.

I was going to procrastinate. But I'm busy and I'll have to do that later.

There's a hole in the sky.

Landing rockets for reuse? They've tried parachute into water or onto land. Landing like a glider. Vertical landing on legs. Parachute and grab it out of the sky. Cheese slicer. And now ... landing on wheels.

I've been keeping busy in my time off. github.com/postquantump... I built a native H.264, .mp4 decoder library in native Rust, Go, and Python. It only does a subset of H.264 needed by my sample videos. They are multi-threaded but still perform like you'd expect.

Meanwhile, at every home office in the world

Someone mentioned the bot farms are down. I figured I should post to show that I'm not a bot on a farm. See. Not. Now that I think about it, I should say I'm not a bot anywhere else either. And I'm not on a farm. Not that there's anything wrong with being on a farm. But I'm not.

I think the people posting AI generated images aren't thinking it through. The rest of us have access to AI too and we could generate thousands of times more and better content for ourselves than they could ever post.

I saw a post about someone giving a talk inside a church. I could never do that. I'd be constantly distracted by my feet being on fire. 🔥

Dashcam video of FSD-S (v14.3.10) stopping for a school bus when human drivers did not. After the bus turns its lights off it continues with no interventions. no audio

What's better than a picture of a cat? Two cats!

I got the laptop set up for development. Downloaded vscode and made sure the toolchains and runtime for python, go, and rust are working. ✅

Posting from my new laptop. Well, it's from several months before obtained for a different purpose which has gone away. Now it will be my main-1 laptop in case my main fails in some way.

The algorithm has apparently decided I like trains, construction equipment, golf, and casting bells. I am completely uninterested and will never watch those suggested videos but the algorithm has been suggesting the same ones for years.

It's very annoying when an app is required but it has notifications that aren't allowed to be turned off. Get cheap old USB wired earbuds and chop the cable off.

To those of you who post political stuff as if it was news. I know already. We know already. Don't be that guy that only posts stuff we've heard already and won't change the subject. Go get a cat or something and post obsessively about it instead.

Lately I feel the presence of a fork in the road. Dozens of possible paths, not just two. There's no telling which path is ours. But very soon there will be a step change and nothing will ever be the same. Or maybe not. Maybe we still have cookies in the cabinet.

FSD-S stops by itself for firetrucks, and then continues with no intervention #FSD #FSD-S #autonomous v14.3.8. I fetched the USB drive and it had a higher resolution version.

Is there such a thing as a paid video conference call? I was thinking about setting up a way people could call in and see my cats.

I have a deep and meaningful parasocial relationship with Hannah Fry. Fortunately she doesn't appear to be on BlueSky and will never see this.

Chrome browser has become horribly naggy lately. I've been using other browsers to see how they are. My Chrome usage may be on the way out.

I joked at the doctor's office about getting a lollipop if I was good. I got my lollipop!

It's sad that she's gone. But it's too much. Being reminded all day makes me sad all day. It's too much.

So, Fri I go to this sandwich shop and it's not there any more. Then Sat night we head to a restaurant for dinner, and it's boarded up. Ok, there's this place just south of there. And it's closed with construction fence around it. Ok. There's this other place just south of there and it's open. 😟

this is real, unedited, not ai #noai 52.9C outside just now in central TX

me: I was using that. cat: is good bed me: but I was reading cat: is good bed me: it's not a bed cat: is good bed

She's "helping" me read. #caturday (The other book I'm reading is a real paper one.)

If someone wants to send me money. ok. Will I use it responsibly? No. You should have known better.
