I've been reminiscing about a childhood toy my parents vetoed because of its astronomical price tag. The beautiful thing about adulthood? No one can tell me no anymore 🤣 My 1988 vintage (re-release) Tamiya Avante is arriving next week! #ChildhoodDreams #AdultingPerks

Fascinating AI challenge: @maiachess created a ML bot that plays chess like a real human! Test your detection skills on Lichess (lichess.org/@/maia1) or try their "bot or not" beta at maiachess.com. I'm currently listed on the leaderboard, but it's tricky! 🤖♟️ #Chess #AI

Would you find it strange or endearing if you received a postcard with a photo taken from your house's balcony in 1987? I took it when I was 8 and lived there. Thinking of sending this to the current owners before visiting NZ next year. Creepy or sweet? 🤔

Does anybody else get a warm fuzzy feeling inside whenever you fill your fridge to the brim with food? Mine sits lifeless and sad most of them. Today it is looking very healthy and full of food though :)
