If my brain engaged as much for startup work as it’s doing for this non-profit opportunity 🤞🤞, I’d be somebody’s CTO by now.

Count your blessings.

A brutal idea for an interview question when they ask if you have any questions.

“I see your service uses hot technologies X, Y, and Z. Is this for your users’ benefit, or to impress your next employer?”

I don’t think I’ll ever use it in this exact form, so good luck and god bless.

Yesterday I said I would do a thing today, and today — in direct violation of the ways of my people — I did the thing.

Learning how to upscale an image with stable diffusion and i keep worrying that i will give this tree huge knockers

Acceptably sketchy look upscaling with uh “4x-AnimeSharp”, though it lost some of the original’s stippling effect. A different upscaling model might get closer? Definitely better than just blowing up the pixels with nearest-exact.

And no boobs, though the first upscale model I used blurred a portion in a way that looked like butt-cheeks. A little junk in the trunk, as it were.

These tools can be useful for something beyond Plagiarism Machine with a little creativity. Anyways that’s all the brainpower I got for the topic today.

I am unsurprised that the fascist-adjacent aversion to sexual wellness has grown along with the rest of it over the last several years.

Masturbation abstinence is popular, and doctors are worried Consider This from NPR NPR

I want to ask prospective employers what their technical debt management work flow looks like but I don’t know if I’m ready to watch a stranger cry.

I was going to look something up before bed but I can’t remember what it was so I think it’s time for bed.
