One last post (for now) as I can't keep my eyes open any longer. So much to do & see in #Switzerland, it's pretty tiring 😁 But I'd do it all again in a heartbeat.

Here we were on a #toboggan ride and I was (not so secretly) filming with #DJIpocket4. As I was enjoying the views too much to be staring at the tiny screen to see what was being captured, I'm happily surprised at the results.

Hope you'll enjoy it as well, even if it's really 100x better in person! (Sorry 😆)

I uploaded the model for the "Don't Panic Cyberdeck" to Printables.

Let me know if you make one. Enjoy!

This is really cool.

Switzerland bolted 5,000 solar panels onto a dam wall 8,000 feet up in the freezing Alps where everyone said solar made no sense, and the plant now makes three times more winter power than any farm down in the valleys https://www.ecoportal.net/en/switzerland-5000-alpine-solar-muttsee-dam-winter-power/28487/

UPDATE: Since the article above is #AISlop from a BuzzFeed-style content farm (even though its content is accurate) here's a 2023 Reuters article on this solar plant https://www.reuters.com/business/sustainable-business/switzerlands-solar-dam-sun-snow-perfect-mix-green-energy-drive-2023-02-06/

Une pâte à tarte innée.

The temperature won’t get down. Fine. But could it *at least* try and move it all around?

dear duckduckfedi,
how the fuck do I export Gerber files from krita?

So, all this “design by first principles” thing is just ego-stroking bullshit, isn’t it?

Still can't quite believe the World Health Organisation framed Roger Rabbit AND let the dogs out

“Perfect Entertainment,” LOL.

Discworld is the buggiest point and click adventure I’ve ever played.

New blog post! Taking a closer look at composite video on the NES. Specifically, why's it wobbling? https://nicole.express/2026/phase-altering-by-line.html

Some say the learning curve is steep, but you only have to climb it once.

I’ve been making bedside water bottles for years but I don’t make them very often. They’re inspired by Mexican botellones—small clay water jugs with an accompanying cup which serves as a cover. Sometimes the cup has a handle. I’ve also discovered a Congolese version of the botellón. It’s such a simple and effective idea that it’s no surprise it would appear in multiple cultures. #pottery #ceramics #beautility

Bubble software in bubble memory, literally!

How Konami used this unusual bubble technology in their games.

So when somebody tries to defend their use of these tools because a human is still reviewing it remember that they're lying - to you and to themselves.

They know there's problems with these tools, and are trying to convince themselves that somehow it's fine and you should stop calling out for their poor choices.

I can attest with the utmost confidence that every developer or manager or whoever that claims "all code written by AI is reviewed by a human" is a boldfaced lie.

AT BEST they have quickly skimmed it, but more likely they've not looked at it at all.

Actually reading code THAT YOU DID NOT WRITE YOURSELF takes quite a bit of time, and the one thing that people who use AI tooling care most about is just how fast it makes things.

They will not spend the time needed to actually read it.
