Shoveling snow is very similar to life: You think that your shovel is worthless. Yet, it compounds and one hour later, you did it! Also, if there's a snowstorm, you have to do it again a few hours later, no matter how well you did it the first time. It's actually exactly like life.

Don't Die

You know how AI is really bad at generating text in images and videos? I just thought... It's kind of like kids. They can understand the world reaaaally well, in a very short amount of time. They can't draw like AI, but I bet their dreams are like current AI videos.

Remember Google Plus?

"We are living through a planetary feedback loop of doom where every degree of warming only accelerates it. This isn't some distant, abstract disaster; it's already here. Yet, somehow, we keep waiting for the "official" tipping point before we take drastic action. "

Is it better with the phone's built-in microphone? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ti89rxs4euY

Stop eating crap food. Stop normalizing what the food industry wants #gluten #health #nutrition

I tried using a microphone on my phone It sounds weird ... I kind of like it, but I'll need to figure out a better way. Playing the beginning of "Toccata and Fugue" www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nqL...

Quantum computing is now a reality Google made it happen. What does is do for you? Nothing, just like computers didn't change anything for the vast majority of people in the early days.

I like walking in the evening I started out of necessity, but it has several advantages: - I have nothing after. Nothing. I can walk for hours if I want to - I can stay in my head, because there is no one else - There is more life than the day, like skunks - ...

Don't start a business, and don't start coding. Unless your life depends on it.

Elf, Day 3: Chou and Choupette secure the banana peel to avoid injuries!

5th week of part-time coding, the game can now generate music that is a bit more coherent. Choose the instrument you want, if you want multiple instruments at once, if you want random durations, or if you want to have a chord progression. https://youtu.be/HWASLJTHvhA

╞══╕Reflections on Life, Health and Code - Martin Gamsby╘══╡ Sean & Allie in the Moooooorning! (This is a “podcast” about me 😮) https://youtu.be/nLoh_IzX-Gc #podcast

Coding is easy, really What's hard is making it do what the specifications want AI can code easily, but you need good specifications And you know what makes the best specifications? Not words, but code Code is the best specification AI won't replace coders, it'll help make the code easier to write

╞══╕Are you sick? Injured?╘══╡ No? Go do the thing. #motivation #health

╞══╕Behind every expert╘══╡ ... is hours of pretending they know what they’re doing? I don't think so. I think that: - Most will pretend and get stuck. - Some will aim at excellence and break their own beliefs.

╞══╕Randomly beautiful╘══╡ In 2017, I created something to generate music, but it’s not quite as I expected it to be. Here’s an example: youtu.be/SgnzwZTlSbc But the problem is … I don’t have a way to know if the music created is good or not (apart from listening to it myself).

╞══╕The Musical Experience - Week 2╘══╡ Second week of part-time coding, the game can now generate semi-random music. It's pretty ugly, but it's a start, I'll have to go find my tests from 7 years ago, adapt them and add my new musical knowledge to make better music. #Game #Music #DevLog

╞══╕Literally, totally transparent,╘══╡ new banks were built. Banks have trust issues. People are becoming more aware of manipulation and lack of transparency. Banks can give at least 10x what they were given, so you couldn't take it all out at once. New banks were opened:
