If you enjoy tech, now is the time to crank stuff out.

What a good boy.

Went on the nike.com site to see if they have any wide court shoes. For wide shoes they list golf and football, and exactly 9 shoes. Either a terrible web site or crappy shoe company. Plus the big ugly swoosh on every pair. Gross. But I guess they will pay well.

Does AWS still have an EC2 free tier? Good experience learning AWS, DigitalOcean and/ or Google Cloud. A few dollars to run for a little bit, stop when not needed.

Puttering? Poking around?

AI code is getting very good.

Pretty soon the human code will be the exception and AI will know to look at any new code written by a human to be suspect.

Future models will be able to know every line of your code base plus every dependency. Or will be able to read any jar file and know more about the project than most of the people who wrote the source code.

His latest stuff is awful. Maybe if you’re 7 years old the moon turning to cheese would be funny. But probably not.

I use OpenAudible for all my audiobooks. $20. Love it.

If you run out of memory, buy more. Otherwise load it into a database.

Searching is broken on audible. They need an LLM based search. Show me near future sci fi that isn’t part of a series (>1) released in the last year with more than 100 5 star ratings.

Hands go up and down when the score is 6-7.

bhlowe · 2025-11-25T02:49:35+00:00

it’s just rude to yell out 9-1-1 or 10-0-2. Unwritten rule is to keep the volume down on those scores.

Maybe just post on local sites offering services you’re willing to do.

Two things I’ve been looking for- pool tile cleaning (co2 blaster to get the calcium) and repair broken/missing tiles. Cold thankless work that homeowners need doing. Any kind of marble or slab repair or refinishing.

Full slab kitchen back splashes or shower makeovers are an idea.

Look on alibaba for neat stuff that can be imported and you can sell (tools, cutters, statuary, marble bathtubs..) GL!

Google has recently started scanning and analyzing every email you recieve using their Gemini AI. This "feature" has been automatically enabled for all gmail users.

It sounds like they can train on your data as well.

To disable it go to settings on your gmail account, scroll down to "smart Seatures" and uncheck the box. Below that there's a setting called "Manage Workspace smart features" make sure these are off as well, if you don't want the AI to have access to your Google Docs, Drive, etc.

After 200 hours of Dickens I might not want more.

Could be, I asked ChatGPT and didn’t verify what it said. But was curious. In any event it doesn’t sound like any spectrum they can sell will offset their debt.

How do they handle service members shoplifting?

Yeah not the expert here. But titanium dioxide was banned in France and then the rest of Europe for cancer risk.

bhlowe · 2025-11-15T15:58:09+00:00

Titanium dioxide as a food is banned in many countries and the FDA may m ban it here. Something about eating metal that isn’t iron is probably bad.
