<p>Sometimes to move fast - we have to go slow.<p>That's a mantra I learned when getting into technology.<p>Asking questions about how things work, why it is a certain way, or why a shortcut was made often give you far better insights than anything else.<p>Slowing down and understandng is great. With AI this is even easier. But choose wisely, brains get full.</p>

<p>Thanks!<p>It's difficult. It takes time away from my evenings and weekends at the moment and the only way that I can really justify that is by making it paid.<p>Otherwise I won't get up at 0600 to fix an SLA.<p>Let's see! I've priced it on the cost of an inner-tube a year. So fingers crossed.</p>

<p>Added a fifth project this month. Most likely very unwise...<p>1. probe.bike - tell stories with your bike rides. It allows you to aggregate your cycling trip into one datapoint. Will likely break this out to skiing over the break and rebrand slightly. Adding yearly cards as we speak!<p>2. flopper.io - I'm seeing traffic rise and rise for this and it's been a great way to translate my every-increasing understanding of AI Infrastructure architecture to a new project. It acts as a benchmark website for GPUs and systems (e.g. Nvidia NVL72.<p>3. llmstxt.studio - still feel like llms.txt as an idea make sense - so hedged that and but let's see. Got my first customer this month. B2B and need more features/marketing.<p>4. rides.bike - the oldest - a catalogue or well researched cycling destinations  and information about destinations. Will be adding more very soon!</p>

<p>> a small fraction of kids branching off into fringe networks that are off the radar and will take them to very dark places very quickly.<p>I've been grappling with this all afternoon and I still cannot determine what my stance on this.<p>I grew up when the internet was a bit of a wildwest, and I've definitely seen things online that I wish I never had without my consent.<p>But there's also a bizarre thought that mayb exposure to this isn't such a bad thing because it keeps us human, and aware of privilidge and our safety - and why that is such an important thing to think about<p>I'd equate it at some level to seeing the inside of the production of food and being put of eating meat, or eating anything non-organic again.<p>I'm not sure I would like my own children to see it, but I'm hyper aware of what conflict and crime looks like as a result.<p>Comparatively to social media at least I was making a choice to click on something risky or that I would not like to see rather than having a algorithm choose for me. Not sure if I am just becoming a middle-aged tech dinosaur though.,</p>

<p>Agree with your point. It's going to be super interesting to see whether languages become more lower or higher on the stack. My guess is unuseful: both.<p>We've not really seen what impact this will have just yet.</p>

<p>Nice comment! How is the HD collection?<p>Hmm, I think the flaws are what generally make games.<p>I played thousands of hours on a bunch of Quake 3 engine games (Q3:A, RTCW, ET)...<p>If you moved your mouse in a certain way you would go faster, and as a result there were a class of players that were speed demons.<p>These flaws are often ground out now, and I think that limits community-driven creativity. Especially since most games are impossible to mod now.<p>Eventually we found ways to limit this (limit fps in competitive configs as an e.g.) to prevent those with the best PCs have an unfair advantage.</p>

<p>My sister picked this up from a random supermarket in 1998/1999, and I sank 100s of hours into watching her play it through.<p>She does this thing where she wants to start games over and over again from the start, play them for a bunch of hours, then start it again.<p>The soundtrack and the challenge of beating the game at that age was wonderful.<p>I beat it a few years ago for the first time all the way through again. Really enjoyed it, but never played the sequel.<p>I find a lot of modern games unisnpiring. Too much focus is on creating a general great game, rather than focusing on story / mechanics.<p>Thanks for the post!</p>

<p>Another month another project inbound.<p><a href="https://flopper.io" rel="nofollow">https://flopper.io</a> - this has become a big focus. It's essentially a table for flops. Calculator coming soon for flops and power. Imported >600 Datacenters in October.<p><a href="https://llmstxt.studio" rel="nofollow">https://llmstxt.studio</a> - models need data and I believe llms.txt as an idea has merit. Likely needs an authority. Will add more audit tools to give people any slight benefit they can have for SEO.<p><a href="https://probe.bike" rel="nofollow">https://probe.bike</a> - tell stories with your bikepacking data.<p>It's pretty hard to work on all these ideas and areas whilst working. Feeling a bit over stretched.<p>Flopper remains the main focus as release cycles are slow and it overlaps with work slightly.</p>
