Every now and then, because of my wife's job, I found myself seating in a coffee for what nowadays could be considered long periods of time—that is to say, two hours, or 3, tops. Today is one of those days, but what makes particularly interesting is that I didn't have time to prepare. I didn't have the chance to charge my Chromebook tablet before leaving, so I only brought my Kindle, my phone and…

I have this, very important, very serious, promise to myself: I will visit my friends at least once per year. To note: I will travel to them. With the exceptions of the pandemic years –when my friends got trapped in my city because US closed the border– and the year of my wedding –because saving money– I've been fairly good on keeping my word. Every year I do the, more or less, same ten hours of…

I've spent most the time since the pandemic in a remote / hybrid position at work, which I now swear by and do not want to change, and while it has a incredible high number of benefits it also has really deep downs. I, personally, have found that the most striking change is how my social interaction has changed. I'm by no means antisocial or lacking in the social behavioral rules department, but…

I cannot remember exactly when this came to my mind. I mean, it was today, but I cannot pinpoint at which moment today –as it has happened with most things since the pandemic. I just got the thought burnt into my brain. It was screaming loudly and with an intensity that's now lost but I can recall vividly. It said: And I know it's not as easy as it reads. I mean, I would be the first one to say…

I don't feel the pass of time... Until I return here and try to make something out of my thoughts. That it takes this long is not something I despise or hate, it's just something that happens. That I'm still here, and still me, being able to come back to my corner of the internet is a thing I underestimate. I don't really feel the need to write when morning comes, but I would be lying if I say…

For how often I use them, it's ironic how much I hate social apps. Why? Well, there's nothing social about them anymore. It's just memes and some bragging here and there. Maybe it's just me not wanting to connect? Or maybe I'm not able to do it in the way the apps set me up to do it. Giving a like to a photo doesn't mean Hey, pretty cool. Where's that and what are you up to? Then again, if I…

While I've talked about AI in general and also focused a little bit on how it's being used to make music, the topic today is certainly one I thought we would have to wait more to see. Quite literally, to see. On January 23th, the Research Arm of Google AI efforts published a video to YouTube announcing Lumiere, what they call A Space-Time Diffusion Model for Video Generation. What does that mean?…

I was discussing with my friend Pablo what to write here next. You know, it's been a while... again. — Have you done your tour of AI chat bots?— Nope, and I don't really think I will, I said to Pablo. — Why not? Maybe you should write about that, then. I've been reluctant to touch on the topic of AI because it's been discussed once and once again, everywhere. Of course I'm interested in the area…

Hi guys, nice to see you again. Well, to be blunt, it's nice to think that someone is seeing this. But that doesn't deny the fact that something about this is nice. For me. And for you. Hopefully. Anyways. During this time with COVID, a lot has been said about how this is the year that you have the time to do whatever you didn't have time to do before. And while I think that's true, there are…

Que tal lectorsillos, buen dia. He vuelto. Por fin pude concentrarme lo suficiente como para poner en orden unas cuantas líneas aqui. Les dire la verdad..Esta es la segunda vez que escribo este post. ¿Por qué? Pues resulta que la forma anterior en que estaba escrito — que por cierto fue escrito hace 15 días — era una versión muy simplona y repetitiva del post anterior que contiene actualizaciones…

Just recently I watched Meet Joe Black again. I don't know how long it's been since the last time, but I know it's been at least a few years. And woah, was it different from what I remembered. You know how they say that after you grow a certain age you start appreciating stuff you did not before? Well, it immediately rang a bell after seeing this movie again. It's not as boring, not as cheesy and…

Que tal lector, buen dia. Viernes... por fin. Para mi, no sé para ti. Si te encuentras leyendo esto, tenemos de dos opciones: Si estás dentro del primer grupo... Tss. Ni que decirte, bro. Pero, ¡pero!, si estas dentro del segundo grupo de lectores, te mando un saludo desde el inframundo. Ven, sientate, déjame te platico la historia del fin. Estamos atravesando la peor crisis en la historia de la…

People will always tell you that success is not made overnight. Fair to say, we can all understand that it's not instantaneous or something that comes out of nowhere. I cannot imagine someone being at home, after doing nothing –activity or meaningful-wise – and being completely unknown, then suddenly becoming a celebrity just for existing. You have to make something to be someone. It can be…
