Thinking about making a game for my boy about, essentially, Jews who pull up roots in the early medieval era and become travelers, caravaning out into the Lands of Folklore, beyond History. There's not a lot of Jewish video games out there.

Tinkering with ai at home, I got it to make a credibly decent art asset set for a game idea I had bouncing around for the past 15 years. It does not look like "ai art". Same algos went into an oil paint mixing sim I got the AI to make. I also got the AI to make a sound track.

Full Retatrutide phase 3 obesity data published today. It's gonna take a minute to fill dissect this. The appendix alone has 70 pages of data. Long story short we created a drug that's almost too good. Huge chunks of people stopped or reduced doses from excess weight reductions.

Spokane's fires were, unironically, wild. Genuinely think we need to recalibrate so much. How we build, respond, zone, plan, etc.

DRAGON LAKE (1988) Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 30” x 20” “Some come easy, some come hard,” said Norman Rockwell, when someone asked him how long it took for him to complete a painting. Like him, I’m somewhat of a perfectionist. 1/6 #bookssky #art #fantasy #dragon
On the shore of a lake, a red-headed woman in Romani-style garb approaches a dragon twice her height. Orange scaled, its sinuous neck curves as it lifts a beak shaped head. Gripping rock with hind legs and forelimb, its tail swishes water as wings flair back warily. A flame pattern ripples along the underside of the limb supporting its wing. More gold scales run under its chin  down its belly and along the underside of its tail. The woman wears a purple silk cloth over her hair with pink cloak trailing. The sleeves of her azure blouse puff out until they meet form fitting leather gloves at the elbow. Her belt broadens in the back, accented with chains and jewels. Her silky pants are also baggy until they tuck into her fine leather boots at the calf. In the distance, other dragons can be seen bathing in the shallows. Lush evergreens give way to grassy hills and eventually angular mountains that thrust upward aglow in the sunlight.

summereyes.vip hey Bluesky. You heard it here first. What if there was an AI reasoning engine that didn't make stuff up? I started grinding into logic the other month- subjective logic, conflicting logic, etc. Came out with some ideas of anti hallucinogenic reasoning.

This was one of the bosses' explicit goals in getting Trump elected - crush the strong Biden era labor market in order to discipline workers and make them submit to abuse and exploitation. That, not burrito taxi prices, was the actual economic stakes of the 2024 election

A Seattle transit goal set in 2015 was for 72% of the city to be a 10 min walk to 10 min frequency transit. We hit that goal in early 2020 and since 2023, have not reported on it. Today, just 53% of the city is walking distance to frequent transit and with new openings it'll be 55% in 2027

the lie is very popular. As I've gotten more into the photography world, the more that has become... obvious. Obvious like a 10 foot troll hitting me with a club. People really, really, really don't want truth. There's something very revealing about how people react to accurate images.

As Jews look to their menorahs for Hannukah in the wake of the terrorists in Australia, I am reminded that Judah Maccabee was a military commander; Jewish freedom was bought with violence. I am reminded of Ukraine's war for its own freedom. I am reminded of the Israel war against Hamas.

Its super interesting comparing Twitter vibe vs Bluesky vibe vs Mastodon vibe. Trying to pin down the distinctions. Twitter has heavier technical discussions (?), and more business people. Bluesky, more artsy, academics. Progressive. Mastodon, more non profit and arts. Left.

I wonder how to get better at chess. I seem to have rammed into a flatline. (Daily games at chess.com ) Somewhere at about move 6 or 7 my game collapses, and a more competent player rips me to shreds. I don't think it's just "think ahead" so much as it is "see the system in a better way".
