Apple ScreenTime is such frustrating semi-functional garbage. As a company, are consistently not good at Cloud.

I watched Godzilla Minus One last night. I'm going to give Godzilla X Kong a go tonight which is, I'm sure, exactly the same.

Pinkzilla x Mecha-Kong

Well, GxK went as expected.

I really liked the 2014 Godzilla, it felt like one of the old movies. It’s all gone a bit Hollywood CGI-fest since then. Might as well watch a cartoon.

I had intended to Do Stuff on the game, but I've just finished up all the other Stuff at 10pm on Sunday so I think that's beer and a movie time instead. Weekends are too full, and too short.

Huh, my AliExpress mini-pc is "with the local delivery company". That's about a week ahead of the delivery date AE gave originally ... or ... it depends who the delivery company is, I suppose.

Boy at an activity day at a forest park. Kinda wish I’d dressed for a hike, but I’ve got a shady spot to sit for an hour or so and it’s not all bad.

Proper Heisenbug has appeared with the bob clipping. Goes weird if I remove debug log line 🤦🏻‍♂️

Has to be a compiler bug? The generated code looks weird (muls #-2 wat?!) and the bug goes away if I disable -O3. Bah.

I guess this is what you get when you don't hand-pick every CPU instruction like an artisan.

~27 mile ride after work. Hard going at the start, it's been hard to shake the tiredness in recent weeks. But ... surprised myself by actually getting up the hills I've avoided so far this year, and found some legs at the end.

Eating for the rest of the evening now.

Apparently I'm supposed to make a video and powerpoint of the nopilot hackathon effort this week. Will the fun never cease?

@didier I used an AI voice generator for the video :)

@BelfastRoadster Ha, I passed him on my (normal) bike in east Belfast a couple of weeks ago!

I wondered how he stopped at lights and things. I guess that must be a stand on the bottom he can trigger from where he sits.

The river is very muddy today. You can usually see the bottom.

Trim your bob, sir?

Fixed the right-clipping.

AI hackathon effort ended up largely prompt engineering the descriptions on the backend API so the chatbot would call it correctly more often than not. Slow, expensive, unreliable, and IMO worse than just making a list page for the data. But, you know, whoop yeah awesome AI!

I worked at Microsoft Dublin for a while ten years ago, and while there suggested we create a video portal linking MS campuses across the world.

The news that the public art installation video portal linking Dublin with New York has had to be closed -again- due to lewd behaviour from the Irish side proves I was definitely onto something.

@GrantMeStrength TBF it was the NYC side that did the flashing.

Made good use of the AI hackathon time, as you can see.

With a bit of fiddling, it's working now for the edge cases that broke before.

One edge of the pit is a bit glitchy, but there is a workaround and pits aren't really a feature anyway.

Found some problems with the bob clipping, and I think the background restore breaks if the framerate drops. Camera is jank AF still :)

When it’s the people who say “customer journey flywheels” who get promoted, you know you’re in the wrong org.

@GrantMeStrength I've been in those presentations.

Set up the drives and RAID enclosure for NASv4 just to check they all worked. It's a couple more weeks until the mini-pc arrives yet though.

Thinking I'll make it a general Ubuntu box this time rather than a headless server, and switch the Windows machine to a non-dual boot setup.

Think I'll just wait this one out now.
