ChatGPT’s Prime Directive is to produce text you want to read, and, with almost no limits, to tell you that you’re smart, correct, and justified in your choices. Surely there’s no harm in millions of teenagers engaging with ChatGPT every day on every topic in their lives.

America is.... complicated.

At least I won't have to worry about tariffs on cameras when we're in the middle of a global thermonuclear war.

ignoring the chaos happening to say that i can’t decide if i want to start a new final fantasy vi game or not

Frontier Valley is at most 5% as cool as this proposal.

Many of my favorite watering holes in Tokyo are tucked away beneath elevated railway tracks, known as ガード下. But on a recent tour, I discovered there’s much more to these hidden urban spaces. My story: www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2025/06...

Living in the future is very strange.

I would pay a premium for a camera with a modern APS-C sized BSI sensor with 12 megapixels.

Overheard on the street (Telegraph) just now: "I voted for Trump, I still think he means well, but these tariffs are killing my business."

Occasionally revisit camera settings even if you've used it for many years - your shooting style may have changed. I improved the experience on my X-E2 by enabling "high-performance mode" (I used to be v. concerned about battery life) and disabling the LCD & eye sensor entirely (EVF now always on).

The best kind of youtube content (and one my favorite English language accents) youtu.be/PEJnsBeQ_Y8?...

A fun trivia question: what innovation gave denim its' specific properties (and what are those properties) that made Levi Strauss & Co. a global company? It is, in fact, a technology story, not a fashion story.

Porting Mario 64 to a 16mhz cpu without graphics hardware, without hardware floating point, and even without hardware division. youtu.be/kueoO3b4B-M?...
