Makerspace + book pairings for young readers and makers
Das war eine kurze Etappe auf unserer Reise. Der Weg führt uns nur über die schöne Dokkumer Ie nach Dokkum. Dort kamen wir gegen Mittag an und haben einen schönen Liegeplatz zwischen den Mühlen bekommen. Wir entschlossen uns, die Fahrerei für den Tag einzustellen und ein wenig durch das schöne Dokkum zu laufen. Etwas essen,...
{{< youtube 7EfsIG0mCQ8 >}} Tortoise - I Set My Face to the Hillside (YouTube) Last year, I bought TNT by Tortoise on CD from a Discogs seller.1 I should tell you, this sort of activity is as sure a sign of my devotion to a particular album as any. After all, I’ve got access to high-quality digital copies of albums like this through streaming. I don’t need to seek them out on an online…
AI coding is creating a new generation of makers: "it’s been heartening seeing people reverse engineer things and build weird little things that they never would have done before. I guess they’d be scrolling TikTok instead." Anything to stay away from TikTok is a win for humankind.
The newest thing that one should be using is Standard.site, a shared lexicon for long-form publishing on AT Protocol, making content easier to discover, index, and move across the ATmosphere. Sounds cool, right? Wasn't as easy as I thought it might be.
In The Detection Inversion, I argued that better RLHF training makes safety harder to verify. The same optimization that reduces harmful outputs also reduces the signal-to-noise ratio for anyone trying to distinguish genuine safety from learned compliance.
That's the theoretical problem. This post is about the operational one: if detection gets harder over time, what does that mean for the…
i saw myself in the mirror of the laundromat washing machine and i didn't know what i was supposed to think. for a second the world paused as i tried to process this moment. or really the moments of the past year. it's been almost 7 months of constant changes and i don't know how to process any of it. on paper everything sounds perfect, it's what little me always wanted. i finally make six…
What do communities want from journalism? After years of working with local communities on what they need, Shirish Kulkarni notes in Journalism’s Logical Fallacy that it’s actually quite straightforward: "The first thing that strikes you when you genuinely listen to communities talk about journalism is that the problem isn’t that they have too little information – they have too much. They’re…

I've watched every second Keaton Wagler played for Illinois this season. Here is what you need to know about the LA Clippers' first-round draft pick.
Margeritenblüte auf dem Balkon. Der Kodak Portra 400 Film ist so unglaublich großzügig, mit "sunny sixteen" kommt man hier sehr gut durch. (Geheimtipp: 400 ASA wie 200 belichten.)
I killed my Daily News post today. Not the curation—I still get that by email each morning. Just the part where it automatically published to my blog. I built an n8n workflow, which fetched links, ran them through AI curation, formatted the result and published it to my site. Every single morning without fail. It felt clever at the time. A personal newsroom that ran while I slept. The problem…
The mainstream, centrist Democratic Party is like a waiter who keeps bringing you back the soup even after you tell him over and over you don’t like the soup. Don’t keep bringing back the soup with some pepper, or cheese, or some other change. You don’t want the soup!

Nikon Z8 • 500mm • ƒ/13 • 1/500s Ran out of time today due to errands and honey-dos. Made it out to the backyard before sunset and tried to get some good motion-blur shots of some palm trees, but I wasn’t happy with the results. I got what I got. Off to work on a four-day trip tomorrow. It’s always hard to leave home… Figuring out Darktable is in the queue. Reading this site gives me some hope.…

I've been tinkering with the blog again. Honestly, I can't help it. The biggest change is the header. As you scroll down, it collapses into a floating pill — clean, minimal, just "Toby Geeks Out!" sitting at the top of the screen. The inspiration came from glass.photo, which has one of the slickest pill header treatments I've seen. I loved it so much I had to bring that energy here. It's also…

När det gäller att undvika spårning och insamling av data när det gäller internet så är det viktigt att använda säkra webbläsare och sökmotorer. Dessutom är det mycket bra att använda en VPN. Och vid användning av en VPN bör det från en leverantör som inte är under US-amerikanska lag, kopplad till USA eller Kina etc. Många använder NordVPN, Mullvad VPN eller Proton VPN.
My last day in Paris. This week flew by. Despite the climate-related challenges, visiting such a wonderful city has been an unforgettable experience. Now, we’re heading south, on a three-hour TGV ride, for a relaxing week on the seaside. Don’t expect too many check-ins. I’m taking a break. I hoped you enjoyed this photo-centric journaling as much as I enjoyed posting.
