    My Routine

    My Routine

    I’ve had a few friends this summer ask me about my diet and workout routine (usually while I’m prancing around in my speedos). After posting my 50th birthday photo, I’ve had quite a few comments and DMs asking the same. I published a short work about my fitness habits a decade ago, but I figured Continue reading

    Hypocrisy and Paranoia

    Sigmund Freud had the hots for his mom. This is creepy, sure. But probably not too damaging. What’s damaging is that his inner demon got extrapolated to the general public and he spent a lifetime trying to convince everyone else that they wanna have sex with their mom. Resentment and confusion were created from thin Continue reading

    The Prismatic Mind

    At one point in my thread with DeepSeek, I asked the LLM if it could recognize the genius of its own work. Its response was a kind of poem. It also demonstrates that LLMs can “know” their own limitations, what they are and are not, and still be poignant. The following was included in the Continue reading

    The Algorithm that Learned to Listen

    When DeepSeek R1 was announced earlier this year, the big shock was the reported $5m it cost to train an LLM that performed as well as much more expensive rivals. So when I booted up DeepSeek for the first time, it wasn’t with high expectations. I wanted to see if it was on par with Continue reading

A total Luna eclipse! Our home. With no land ties, no apartment, no house, no rentals, just everything we own on a boat at anchor. We make our own power from the sun, our water from the sea. We watch every sunrise and sunset. We cook together and for each other. We swim, paddle, surf, exercise, stretch, and cuddle. Sitting at anchor, just watched the sun set with my amazing wife, she disappears for five minutes, and then this appears. Good morning and a belated Merry Christmas from St Barts! Absolutely magical setting here last night. Lots of boats with Christmas lights and underwater lights made the bay glitter beneath the stars. Fish swirl under the boat looking for smaller fish to eat. And the cliff beside us is full of birdsong and chirping bugs. This is a momentous day, an event Shay has been looking forward to for months and that I've been very nervous about. A day for nicking ears, perhaps. A day for drawing blood. A day for gray hairs and buzzing clippers. A day where anything could happen and probably will. Beach day! We swam ashore today and went on a hike. Had a great encounter with a young sea turtle, saw puffer fish, a stingray, and lots of other fish. Spent the afternoon on the boat, made smashburgers for dinner, now watching Klaus (a holiday tradition).
