Zeta Of 1 @zetaof1.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Was habe ich nach Dark gewettert, dass der ÖR in Deutschland nicht mehr fähig ist, solche Qualität zu produzieren. Wie habe ich mich geirrt. Nachdem nun Babylon Berlin abgeschlossen ist, kann ich mit Fug und Recht sagen: dies ist die beste deutsche Serie, die mir je untergekommen ist. Wahnsinn.10/10 020
Zeta Of 1 @zetaof1.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Spent yesterday on and off creating an .mp4 and .gif for a explanatory video to create some futuristic complex scenario that 4 years ago would most likely have taken a professional VFX artist several hours to do and Claude just ... did it. Opus 5.5 max, granted. But the quality is incredible. 140

Zeta Of 1 @zetaof1.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Reminds me of this: yesterday I heard a CS guy say "but ultimately, all kinds of protein structures are just like software and hardware", and I, being an economist, felt compelled to interject "obviously not, ultimately, all kinds of protein structures are like agents optimizing their payoff". 050

Zeta Of 1 @zetaof1.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Dass die CDU sich in Sachsen in Heidenau dem Verlegen von Stolpersteinen zusammen mit der AfD verweigert ist nichts weniger als ein massiv bedrückender und verstörender Skandal.

Zeta Of 1 @zetaof1.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Just in case you thought this wasn't incredible enough, after coming home from a two-day work trip, my wife surprised me with a "The Office" surprise "party", dressed up herself as Dwight Schrute, and surprised me with an *actual stapler in jello*.

Zeta Of 1 @zetaof1.bsky.social · 01/09/2026On another note, there is very little that makes you feel as old as reading online comments saying "Seeing this it really shows that GTA V is 13 years old, the graphics are so outdated", meanwhile you played it for the first time this year and thought "wow these graphics are incredible" 160
Zeta Of 1 @zetaof1.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Following the discussions online about the state of GTA VI, one must conclude that games were objectively at their best, most refined, and with best graphics-to-gameplay-tradeoff when I was in my formative years with extensive time and desire for gaming and everything since has been misguided. 2347
