Playing hockey. I still need to buy gear, but i joined a team and will be hitting the ice next week. I haven't played hockey competitively since i was a kid, and i am looking forward to it. I will need to work on my cardio and getting my stamina back after 15 years off, drinking and smoking.

And i have $100 that says the Oilers take the cup this year!

Cheers

I think a lot of the worst people on earth are getting pretty old and grey, so it'll be fun to watch the world turn as they fall off.

"Poor man's ice cream from '49"

Vanilla flavor. I've got some apples I intend to bake, and some strawberries I've cut up, it'll go great with both.

While the original publisher of the recipe called it "Poor man's ice cream" and it is indeed quite inexpensive to make, I prefer to think of it as homemade soft serve. It comes out with a much softer smoother texture than traditionally churned ice cream; you're in no danger of bending a tablespoon in this stuff. It also requires no churn; it can be made with more multifunctional tools like a hand or stand mixer.

Watching studio 666 with friends, then some board gaming after.

BIL got the Slay the Spire board game the other day. We played Act 1, hoping to beat Act 2 at some point this weekend. Pretty enjoyable playing the game in a cooperative fashion.

Only thing I'm looking forward to at the moment is getting a new car. I don't know when I'll get one or even which one I'll get but I'm saving

I'm currently at solshine rêverie (formerly summer camp) in Illinois, enjoying the vibes and being way too baked to function in normal society, but here it's considered good etiquette

I went clothes shopping in the US today and the Memorial Day sales and coupons meant I really cleaned up. I am looking through my piles of clothes and shoes like a rapper rolling around on a bed of cash or something.

Playing a show this weekend with my band, who are like family to me.

The colour ereader I just got is pretty cool. It draws much faster than anticipated and looks pretty good. The pen (mpp type) from my laptop works with it so I don't have to pay even more to scribble dicks in my books like its 2009. It's actually repairable unlike the previous ones too. I'm still bitter about the screen of my previous one getting permanent stripes down the left side and across the top and repair not being an option at all, not even by sending it out.

Would you mind sharing mark and model?

[-] Grass@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

oh its the kobo libra colour and libra 2.

Heres my unasked for review of sorts of both just for the hell of it...

The colour is probably about 1mm reduced in outer shell with the same screen dimensions but slightly different usb location so cases dont carry over perfectly. I'm still using the old case for the time being but being careful not let it pop out.

The libra 2 I've had since 2022 and pampered the damned thing but hilariously close to the release of the colour models the screen died. It would still be an excellent device that I'd be using otherwise. I have carried it in my jacket's tablet pocket with my tablet and kobo's screens facing each other, the kobo in the magnetic cover case and a piece of microfiber wrapped cardboard between them. somehow it must have gotten imperceptibility bent and ruined the screen recently between home and work. To the best of my knowledge there is no replacement part for the bw screen.

The Libra 2 screen has fewer layers compared to the colour so white is whiter, imagine stacking screen protectors until it starts to darken or making a mirror tunnel and comparing how it gets darker the deeper in it goes. The colours arent super vibrant but it's still pretty cool and more mind boggling how it doesn't drain more power once drawn even compared to the previous gen panels. Picture is no backlight night mode in a dim room.

I'm a little bitter and wouldn't recommend the libra 2 in hindsight but it's not available any more. The colour has the disadvantage of case incompatibility and darker white but with the black shell it's not very noticeable because of the contrast. The latest models, kobo libra colour and clara colour/bw, have repair parts available through ifixit (except for clara bw screen it seems) for actually pretty reasonable prices. Kobo itself has seemingly no tech support for the english speaking world and their own site as well as their twitter seem to be bots that give you the runaround on every topic. They released the linux kernel sources for older models but not for the new devices and not for some previous models and revisions so other linux distro projects like quill os are potentially hindered.

Going to Australia in a week, get immersed in their culture for two weeks, and getting to snorkel the Great Barrier Reef during my time there! All with my wife and 10 yo son. It’s going to be so great!

Taking my car to the track for the first time. My son is going to track it with me, should be a blast!

Getting the rear brakes and track oil (based on what Chevy recommends for track use) next week and then I'll schedule it!

The singularity. Just to say hi to Roko's Basilisk.

It's beginning to look like Anthropic's recent interpretability research didn't just uncover a "golden gate feature" in their production model, but some kind of "sensations related to the golden gate" feature.

I'm excited to see what more generative exploration of the model variation with that feature vector maximized ends up showing.

I have a suspicion that it's the kind of thing that's going to blow minds as it becomes clearer.

Nothing. Dinner if I must say.
