Special shout-out to the UPS driver who delivered my new iPhone while I was out of town for a day. Not only did they hide the box on our porch, they moved a potted plant in front of it to make it even harder to see.

"Beyond the ability to fine-tune open models for focused applications, Kal’tsit says, another advantage of local models is privacy. Sending personally identifiable data to a commercial service could run foul of data-protection regu...
Health is nothing to screw with
Since I'm about to turn 70 (next May), and because my body is getting old in ways it never has before (of course) -- I've become a more active participant in the health care system.
One thing I've learned is it can be hard to get the attention of the doctors. And once you s...
If I were paying more attention – and had planned any part of this trip – I would’ve known that today is the opening day of the exhibition, and that she was there to give a talk about her work. Free admission, too.
Nevermind, today I discovered an artist whose work is right up my Straße, possibly inspiring a new side-project. Bought the exhibition catalogue as eager to dig deeper and learn more.

Has anyone attempted to make a higher level language on top of SQL? It's taken me a few iterations over years to finally (I hope) figure out how to design a table to take advantage of the features that evolved into making SQL efficient for the applications people really deploy.

Note to self: When the phone doesn't ring, go to Settings - Sound & vibration - Do Not Disturb. It was on for some reason. I'm sure I didn't set this. I'm pretty sure I've been here before. Here's the ChatGPT log and screen shot.
My Pixel 9 Pro keeps giving me tips on using it when I bring it up, as I'm trying to read an important message, or change something at a red light. I'm always distracted when I use the phone, and by adding more distractions to sell me on something, that's not their right. I paid $1300 for this new phone. And also I can't figure out how to get the phone to ring when I get a call. I keep missing important calls.
