My humble collection that I started a couple of months ago was missing some ambiance for late night listening sessions Fixed

Shitty weather made way better with this classic album from Led Zeppelin. Blend of rock and blues, many are my favorite tunes from them

This 1960 original press is the oldest item in my collection. Gifted by my piano teacher who bought it for 1$ at a thrift store. Despite some scratches, surface noise and a jacket with torn spines, the record is straight as an arrow and plays great.

The first spin on this table was Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet, the most sold jazz record and my favorite. The sound on these speakers is surprisingly great on the default settings
The Time Out vinyl jacket, the artists are The Dave Brubeck Quartet. Columbia label, 1959.

I've always loved the warmth of a record, the aesthetics of their jacket's art and the vibe it puts on the decor. After months of too much research, I've decided to get a beginner's turn table setup. Audio Technica AT-LP70X table and Edifier R1280T speakers.

I don't know what it spells for the future of the openess of the license, considering what "open" means for that company
Excerpt from article reading: "Together these tools help developers manage projects, enforce quality, and catch errors early in the development process. With Astral joining OpenAI, we’ll continue to support these open source projects while exploring ways they can work more seamlessly with Codex - enabling AI systems to operate across the full Python development workflow.".

Made myself a gift for this end of the week and bought the Hal Leonard's The Real Book containing 400 transcribed jazz standards for the piano 🎹 It's a big jump from the Super Easy series, but I'm constantly learning and the arrangements sound so great.

Wow! They really quoted an alogirthm at the end of the article bonus point for the clanker trying to imitate feelings
Excerpt from the article: "When asked about this process, Claud itself offered a poignant response in a style culled from billions of pages of discarded text: 'The fact that this destruction helped create me — something that can discuss literature, help people write, and engage with human knowledge—adds layers of complexity I'm still processing. It's like being built from a library's ashes.'"

We also have a 3 and a half months old puppy, slowly getting out of his bitting phase. He eats a bit fast, but stops himself once full. These days he doesn't have accidents in the house. His name is Ringo
