I've been learning more about video production & vlogging. I should be doing this more for professional content but my heart is pulling me more towards "wandering idiot" content. For shits & giggles I tried making music in Suno for cinematic interludes on the motorcycle. Holy shit, it's good.

Five cops in Indianapolis were just criminally charged with abusing Flock to spy on their ex-wives, their wives' ex-partners and women they met on duty. Audit was triggered by us at the @washingtonpost.com, the prosecutor said. From last month: wapo.st/4yfNHng

If you like the idea of Jev but want a self-hosted option, here's a free & open source project I've started contributing to. This lets you host the Laya model, and currently presents a Jev-shaped API contract. I'm working with the maintainer on offering more native Laya-shaped endpoints, also.

Why software engineers and AI researchers are so excited about Jev & Laya right now. And why, if you're a leader with any kind of technology product, you should be excited, too.

The ADHD TARDIS is broken. Its destination dial has only two settings: Now and Not Now. Turns out, “time blindness” is several different mechanisms stacked up in a trench coat.

I keep hearing people asking what happens to software engineering when AI is writing and reviewing code. I don't pretend to have all of the answers. But I believe that humans remain critical, even if we have to roll with substantial career path changes.

It's after Labor Day so it seems seasonably appropriate now to shift to Halloween headshot.

Black-and-white horror manga portrait of a man transformed into Cthulhu. Rectangular glasses frame black eyes with glowing slit pupils beneath recognizable human brows. His elongated head has ridged, porous skin, and a mass of curling, sucker-lined tentacles replaces his mouth and beard. Batlike wings and more tentacles fill the dark background.

It's been a lot of fun working on SlopSearX (SearXNG replacement), but also kind of amazing how few people have found it. But I use it myself and I'm making some major feature investments in it right now. Like it's finally getting a web portal, which is something I intentionally left out at launch.

Shame they couldn't move it under the river 😉 I don't know where I'm going to live next, but I want it to be a city that's walkable and bicycle-friendly and doesn't have to be terribly car-friendly at all.

It looks like the same highway is still there, the same park is still there, but the second photo was taken in a way that highlights the park more and the added trees.

I live in #RaleighNC. Our city hates its urban waterway so much that a great fortune was spent to divert it and bury it under the city where no one could see it, no one would even know it was there.

I'm starting to catch other AI newsletters pinching off mine, like right down to the signature aesthetic.

Magnus, dressed as a 19th-century gentleman inventor, works on a brass steampunk machine at a wooden workbench in a richly furnished office. An observer takes notes while peeking through the window, and a framed Groktopus octopus emblem hangs on the wood-paneled wall.

I don't buy it, mostly because they would have to be competent to pull off a conspiracy like that. This is just sloppiness.
