Recent insights about AI:
It can't find trees in a photo.

At least not easily.

I did an analysis across 3 top LLMs and they were all terrible.
ChatGPT was the best, but still terrible.

This is the photo I analyzed. So, it could be really precise in telling me which cells has trees.

Most reasoned that trees didn't grow that high, so none were found in rows 1 2 and 3.

Enjoy sunset from San Francisco tonight

Version 2 of the Pixel 8 car charger-holder is ready to print!

Too much engineering in this one.
But, I should be able to switch out a single part when a new model arrives.
Should probably also work for an iPhone when they convert to USB-C.

This was designed to mount to a Mercedes. But adapters could be made for any model out there. Just need to design those interfaces.

Almost done with version #2 of the Pixel 8 smartphone holder-charger for the car.

This will adapt to any case within a range of thicknesses.
This is a critical spec in our family because the wife has the same phone but a different case and we both drive that car.

And, I need to hardwire in the power for long trips. Wireless doesn't keep up with the power requirements of navigation and music streaming.

My breakfast buddy.

An they came back to watch us.
Didn't want any food.
Just curious.

The parrots have visited us this evening!

Make it so....

The Golden Gate is looking quite dramatic this afternoon.

Harris/Waltz press release:

"Took out" may be too ambitious. Looks like a drone impact. But, they have their sights on that choke point.

The AFU just took out a bridge inside Russia that is a main logistical conduit to the boarder region just to the west of the current incursion in the Kursk region.

About 500 young people have gathered to do a bike ride together. Cold day by the SF bay today. A rapper organized it. They are now heading to his boba shop on the other side of town!

Wife came home.
A slice of cake was waiting for her.
Fruit and sprinkles and a candle.
And, I made this AI art for her.
She's in a better mood now.

Our future VP.

Guess what I'm about to do!!!
