It is a common storyline theme. Just insert Anne Hathaway. :) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hero%27...
The headline itself is a solid proof that this article is written by people who have no idea about how a yogurt should taste. ProTip: All yogurt is supposed to be eaten plain, and if they need a flavoring agent to make them edible it is worth avoiding them altogether.
The variety of olives you can buy in a Turkish Farmer’s Market always blows my mind!
I genuinely thought this was a joke made w/ AI, but I was wrong and apparently costs $60 dollars and bunch of people bought and already raving about it. Wow.
Gandalf is displaying all his cuteness to convince me to pack him for my trip.
Değişik balık mezesi tariff bakayım dedim önüme bu çıktı. Ayıp bunu tarif diye yazmaya, böyle lakerdayı dedem de yapar. Zaten lakerda bulsak tabağa koyup yeriz, bunun için kitaba lüzum yok ki. :)
Çocukluk jönlerimizden biri daha gitmiş. İnsan yaşlandığını böyle böyle fark ediyor. Güle güle Kadir İnanır. Bundan sonra itlik, serserilik…
This made me scramble to make an appointment with the BMW service in the middle of my hectic morning. Also the terrible wording of this message! “Cont.” is easily mixed up with “can’t” and it blows my mind that a company as large as BMW can act like a clumsy startup with only alpha testers.
Such a wonderful Saturday! The weather was gorgeous and was perfect for hiking up to Mt.Tam. And we were pleasantly rewarded by beautiful views of The Bay and The City. ❤️
these are the news we all crave for nowadays, so enjoy :) www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
“But are you really really sure dear LLM?” “Honestly, no….” Thank you for nothing. This is why you should add “if you don’t know the answer say so, don’t make up things, nor invent answers” to your default settings prompt, and despite doing so keep asking if they are sure & request the source.
Here comes the answer and my push back “Are you sure dear LLM? “Oh you are right to push back, here is another random answer.”
Why you should not trust an LLM-a story in 7 parts…. 1) Ask a question 2) Get a very confident answer 3) Ask if the answer legit 4) Receive a profound apology and a new answer 5) Ask if they are sure this time 6) Get another apology 7) Burn some tokens 8) Accomplish nothing… My simple question:
There is nothing like shutting down the world and the news and getting lost on a fun project. Work in progress .
Birkaç yıl önce aynı soruyu sormuştum Twitter’da. İstanbul havaalanında var şişe doldurma sebili dediler, hakikaten de gittim buldum varmış. Ama başka yerde görmedim bir daha.
Sometimes one needs to witness a natural event to remember how small and non-significant we are. This year it was seeing a volcanic eruption blooming for me. I watched a small bubble of lava growing from almost nothing to a 200m tall giant fountain with 300 m3/second lava flow. Spectacular. ❤️🔥
Having a well deserved break, away from the work and the world this week. I really needed this. Now only if we can see the 47th episode of Kilauea, it would be the cherry on top.
The merchant of exotic beasts, his robes the color of desert sky and saffron, his smile the kind that closes deals before a word is spoken. Whether he’s a wizard, a smuggler, or simply a very specialized businessman depends entirely on how much gold you’re carrying. #dnd #3dpainting
Her gün gözleyip aklımdan geçeni makale yapmışlar. Ekibimden iki kişiye Randall Munroe’nun Thing Explainer kitabını hediye ettim, hala mesajı anlamadılar. 😂
Oooh this sounds soo familiar. Behold the white acrylic paint I ordered for my “miniature painting” ( next to a regular paint bottle which is about to run out). I can safely say I probably won’t run out of white paint ever, again. 😁
Friday night was incredible. Caught Testament live again, and @alexskolnick.bsky.social was phenomenal as ever. I have been listening to them for 30+ yrs now, and every time I am filled with joy and energy. 🤘

Weekend hike, it was such a beautiful day. Cowell- Purissima Creek, Half Moon Bay, CA
Gah, I had a workday with 15 meetings today. I feel like my brain is turned to mush from context switching and I am so ready to embrace the weekend. A nice sunset from the deck helped!
Biz Espresso/ Americano severlerdeniz. 10+ yıldır evde şu makine var (ilkini 7 yıl falan kullandık, bu ikinci versiyon). Buna alıştıktan sonra ne filtre ne French press içemez oldum. Pahalıcaydı ama kat be kat parasını çıkardı.
