Big cloud energy
It's way too hot, but the clouds are great. So, hmmm...
A new challenge: record myself on video for 100 days. This is day one.
Battery removal
The battery in my beloved Nuphy keyboard was swelling up. I had to remove it. It was not that difficult and the keyboard still works wired, but frustrating nonetheless.

Where are all the AI games?
From Why No AI Games?:
I think what’s really going on here is that these new models just aren’t the natural source of fun I thought they would be when I first encountered them. Some forms of computation end up being a deep well of fun. 3D rendering is fun. Physics engines are fun. But these new AI models, despite being powerful and useful and fascinating, don’t seem to be intrinsically fun. Which I think is kind of surprising!
Frank Lantz wonders why we don’t see more “AI native” games. I’m wondering this myself: Games are often the first way we learn to deal with new technologies. So by now we should have seen some that incorporate the technology in interesting ways (Frank has some examples, but there are really not that many).
Seeing: Bought a little reading light for the night.
Bought a little reading light for the night. It has a few different light modes (yellow light is obviously the best option) and the battery lasts forever. A real reading upgrade!
Frozen over
It’s so cold in northern Germany that the Baltic Sea is partly frozen. What a rare – but exciting – sight!
Couple on the beach
We spend new years at the beach. Very cold, but the kids got into the water nonetheless. Real heros!
