i develop AI, machine learning, and web software, deploying them to production. • writes about what I learn along the way.

then i realized some people are not meant to witness the future. only to protect it.

i spent years visiting graves wondering why i survived

a canon event is an experience in a person's life that comes to shape or define who they are.

[NASA @NASA]

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

The best way to use AI is an interface to information that lets you deepen and improve your own knowledge and mental models. The worst way to use AI is as a crutch to outsource and forsake your own cognition

@leonarchiive @grok what does pre-load mean in the context of the video game if i pre-ordered and now waiting for its release?

@assassinscreed shadows. feudal japan is the peak AC fantasy we've waited years for. we master the blade here. the dual mastery of a shinobi and a samurai, that scale is unmatched.

@MacieJay Try the Resident Evil novels by S. D. Perry. Fast, tense, and underrated bio-horror. Start with The Umbrella Conspiracy, then Caliban Cove. Great hidden-gem reads because they expand the universe without requiring game knowledge.

@Rainbow6_UK @karpazis @Rainbow6Game can we have this back, please?

@JamesGunn @JamesGunn Sir Gunn, i love how you weave music into DCU. Ever considered ‘When The Day Comes’ by Nico & Vinz? Its cinematic energy could really bring out a hero’s character and emotion. Hoping it finds a place in future DCU films

@OpenAI @grok can the gpt-oss-20b run using nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 8GB laptop?

[Ralph Cajipe @ralfumi]

i'm happy i was able to lower my CPU and GPU temperatures for both programming and gaming. they've stayed low for the past two weeks. using what I know about software + hardware on windows 11, glad i studied computer science.

[Lex Fridman @lexfridman]

Huge thanks to all the open source projects that've made a lot of the tech we rely on in the world possible:

Linux
Git
FFmpeg
PyTorch & TensorFlow
Apache & Nginx
MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite
Chromium & Firefox
GCC & LLVM
Docker & Kubernetes

Also, all the open-weight LLMs... and all the programming language interpreters, compilers, and frameworks.

I can list 100+ more "niche" open source projects I've used & loved (e.g., OpenCV ❤️). But I just wanted to give a continued big thank you to the open source community for everything you do for humanity 🙏

[Turing Post (Ksenia Se) @TheTuringPost]

Did you know that Alan Turing revolutionized multiple fields before most of them even existed?

Here are some astonishing facts about one of the greatest minds of the 20th century, many of which still don't get the attention they deserve:

▪️ 1. Invented the idea behind modern computers in 1936:

In his legendary paper "On Computable Numbers, with an Application to the Entscheidungs problem", Turing introduced the concept of a universal theoretical machine - now known as the Turing Machine. It could simulate the logic of any! computer algorithm, which laid the foundation for modern computer science.

▪️ 2. Cracked nature’s code before DNA did:

His 1952 paper “The Chemical Basis of Morphogenesis” explained how patterns in animals — like stripes on zebras or spots on leopards — could emerge from mathematical rules. This laid the foundation for mathematical biology, decades ahead of its time.

▪️ 3. Shortened World War II:

At Bletchley Park, Turing built the Bombe machine, an electromechanical device, to break (decipher) the German Enigma code. Historians estimate this work shortened WWII by 2–4 years, saving millions of lives.

▪️ 4. Had his greatest work hidden for decades:

Much of Turing’s WWII codebreaking remained classified until the 1970s. His genius went largely unrecognized in his lifetime.

▪️ 5. A pioneer of AI:

In 1950, he proposed the "Imitation Game", now known as the Turing Test, to evaluate whether a machine could exhibit human-like intelligence. This idea remains central to AI and ML discussions today.

▪️ 6. Wrote one of the first chess programs by hand:

Turing created Turochamp, a chess-playing algorithm, in 1948 — long before computers could actually run it. So he tested it manually, playing moves based on his code. Talk about hands-on AI!

Alan Turing was more than the father of computing — he saw the future before the world was ready.

Which of these facts surprised you most?

@JamesGunn that scene of @Superman flying over the snow, gliding between the ice glaciers and accompanied by Last Son soundtrack — in 4DX, it felt like a calling. that was the moment i knew i had to become a better man. thank you.
