es @ess.bsky.social · 14/09/2026youtube has, fsr, implemented an "ai generate a thumbnail for your playlist" function, and fsr, it uses an EXTREMELY low-quality text to image model really harkens back to a time when ai slop would unsettle you and give you a headache instead of just disappointing you a bit 020

es @ess.bsky.social · 29/06/2026wonder when youtube's ad system will understand, going by my months-long 0.00% CTR, that i'm not interested in buying any swedish police radios 180
es @ess.bsky.social · 21/06/2026it honestly kinda sucks that claude broke its "style" architecture i had a response style written to talk like an overly excitable gay nerd (cause i find that charming) and like 4 months ago (left) it read like an actual person. i tried it again now (right) and it's just like… gross, dude. like wtf 160
es @ess.bsky.social · 16/06/2026just found out about the shoe brand "fuego" that makes basically transverse heelys. they have built-in spinning plates in the sole so you can stand on them and do pirouettes 1141
es @ess.bsky.social · 15/06/2026meanwhile, not to brag or anything, but i've got claude writing me my own french sauce mnemonics… soo yeah 020
es @ess.bsky.social · 14/06/2026i have "fansubbed" an old swedish youtube video i like. it's 18 years old and 2 minutes long. i hope you'll enjoy it too 421985

es @ess.bsky.social · 05/01/2026for those of you wondering what's different between these qr codes (this animation doesn't go up to version 40 tho, it only goes up to 8) 060
es @ess.bsky.social · 05/01/2026here's what i was generating for my girlfriend btw. have you ever wanted to see 2000 qr codes at once!? well what if they all said the exact same thing too??? 3160
es @ess.bsky.social · 03/01/2026i can't relate to rumors of tweakers compulsively doing mindless stuff for hours at a time (sorting books etc) bc every time i do stims i just do this kinda thing like… it's still Dumb but i'm at least in control of my faculties lol 140
es @ess.bsky.social · 02/01/2026geogebra has a symbolic calculator that allows you to switch between an exact expression and a numerical approximation, and i somehow managed to confuse it into thinking 3/2 is the square root of 2 0130
es @ess.bsky.social · 01/01/2026this pinned comment on a v-tuber highlight video is one of the strangest i've ever seen lol 140
es @ess.bsky.social · 30/12/2025my qr code generator NOW SUPPORTS RESCALING AND BMP FORMAT… which means that this image below did not need to be upscaled or converted before posting – i just dragged the raw unprocessed output file onto my browser window. THIS IS THE FUTURE… WE ARE LIVING IN IT NOW… 2100
es @ess.bsky.social · 27/12/2025yeah it looks awful right? but it does have a tripod screw hole on the back so you won't have to hold it with the mics plugged in. zoom makes the h4essential recorder too, which does have a much better design, but it seems slightly worse in terms of tech specs *and* slightly more expensive 110
es @ess.bsky.social · 27/12/2025my latest thing i want but have absolutely no reason to buy and i should not buy it: the zoom m4 field recorder, for recording forest sounds and stuff. it's really fascinating, it's just ~$200 but it's got 32-bit float recording and great preamps and mics that said i shall not and will not buy it 3130
es @ess.bsky.social · 21/12/2025UPDATE: turns out i didn't need to do this because 2-color BMP files apparently store color in a bitwise format too 🙃 and no conversion is necessary this is some of the raw bit data from my example file. i went "AAAUUGHHH" out loud when i saw it 0140
es @ess.bsky.social · 20/12/2025i also very laboriously picked apart two bmp files by hand to find out what parts are which 😵💫 go ahead, ask me technical questions about the bmp format. ask me which parts are which. i won't know 370
es @ess.bsky.social · 20/12/2025god finding the right formula for this took YEARS off my life it's really annoying how simple it is… completely belying how i spent like 3 hours confusing myself trying to get it to work 4180

es @ess.bsky.social · 09/12/2025seems like there was a point early in the development of digital cameras where manufacturers agreed to just go nuts for a couple years 0150
es @ess.bsky.social · 07/12/2025two of my favorite manga artists rn are kuwabara tamotsu and sal jiang. both of them draw yuri where the girls get really pissed off and beat eachother up 🥰 they're also in a doujin circle together called "monophobia", i.e. the fear of being alone. which is 😚👌 040
es @ess.bsky.social · 06/12/2025i learned about this book when it came out in like 2011 and i've always loved its title (after all, it's about the difficulties of using technology to recognize speech) 050
es @ess.bsky.social · 05/12/2025today's math result: perspective projection formula for the angle ɑ on a cylinder given its corresponding computer screen coordinate f ∈ [0, 1] and the viewer's distance d ∈ [0, ∞) … and an approximation that holds pretty well for d > 1 261
es @ess.bsky.social · 04/11/2025happy to announce i finished my week-long project of digitizing 9 years worth of daily paper logbook data today. so if you're ever wondering how much i weighed at any given point over the last 9 years, feel free to refer to this handy chart (featuring rolling monthly average) 171

es @ess.bsky.social · 23/09/2025i did also tell chap bpp (ran out of my usage limits for anfopic clod) to act like a disappointed parent with me in order to shame me into getting it done. but it ended up talking to me more like an emotionally abusive domme instead. so that was a bit of a flop 030
es @ess.bsky.social · 23/09/2025POV you have a big scary project you need to handle urgently and you're putting a massive effort into doing something completely irrelevant 1100
es @ess.bsky.social · 21/09/2025you'll have to get an avatar like this if you're gonna keep posting like that sorry. those are just the rules 140
es @ess.bsky.social · 21/09/2025i love "destroy it all and love me in hell" and this isn't a recommendation per se but you should check out "my yuri started with slavery" if only for it being so funny that the plot's basically identical (watch out for the homewrecker gyaru ex-childhood-bully!). it's okay but not as angsty tho 110

Finally. Took you long enough to do the absolute bare minimum — but at least you didn’t manage to sabotage yourself this time. You see how fast that was? Weeks of procrastination for something you handled in under ten minutes. Pathetic, but at least it’s progress.
