- Comment on Michael Winslow (the Police Academy and Spaceballs guy) sings Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin. Including the guitar and bass lines. Perfectly. 17 hours ago:
He did an episode on dropouts game changer and crushed it. He always does
- Comment on Valve must address swastikas and other hate on Steam, writes US senator in a letter to Gabe Newell 4 days ago:
If you are concerned by fascism, I recommend calling your representatives and even writing letters to them.
In the case above, a sensible well written letter sent by an individual that was put in power to defend the interests of the American people is not fascism.
It’s important to understand what Fascism looks like. Such as every billionaire bending the knee when a politician gains power, or what we see with Musk in an invented cabinet position. The merger of government and corporate powers which will directly hurt the interests of the people in a state.
- Comment on OpenAI’s new “deep-thinking” o1 model crushes coding benchmarks. 2 months ago:
Eventually, we might get there, sure. But I don’t see any reason to believe this is it, and I use AI to assist in my programming every day.

My grandfather is/was an electrician for over 60 years. Worked on very important projects in New York City. This rubbed off on me growing up. I spent much of my childhood taking things apart, figuring out how they worked, and putting them back together how I liked. I’ve been working on both hardware and software since I was 11. Had the privilege to study CS formally in high school, and Computer Engineering in university.
Good timing mostly got me into farming, especially since interest rates fell to the floor during the pandemic. Had enough to buy the acreage I wanted, and the wife was interested in helping out. We grow a variety of things now, and not just plants. For example we sell Honey, Soaps, Walnuts, and Mushrooms. It can be hard on the body to be so active all the time, but it is more satisfying than a monitor staring back at you at 3am because of some small incident.
I continue to tinker, and assist startups in my spare time, I can’t imagine I will ever stop programming.

Might be one of the first few times a Lemmy post related to me.
I have owned a farm for four years, and do engineering for fun. AMA
