<p>I went from an early adopter of AI tools, building my own tools, setting up a crazy openClaw rig, back to just the default coding apps.<p>For work use Claude code on desktop. Mostly using sonnet, sometimes opus.<p>Personal development has gotten pretty interesting, mostly centered around my Android phone. I just have the $20 claude plan. Claude code is running on a build machine VM. I use my phone Claude app to remotely build android apps. I then have the machine install the apps over the network onto my phone. The VM also has full adb access, and sometimes I go into desktop mode from my phone if I need to get into the terminal a bit more. It's been pretty fun to vibe code android apps on the fly!<p>(I tried to get claude code installed locally on my phone but I'm missing some android build tools in the terminal without rooting my phone)</p>

<p>This is the classic client vs designer disparity.<p>Here, client makes it with AI vs designer making it with AI.<p>The client doesn't really know what they want, or how to ask it properly. 
The designer is the one with taste, and the client pays for that.<p>Designers find flaws in the AI outputs, because their taste is high and prefer to just make it themselves.<p>(Not even touching on the hornet's nest of ethics of how these models are trained)</p>

<p>It's not exactly correct. Photography is just as much an art, but it's a very different medium and pieces are judged differently.<p>Realism isn't difficult, so critique shifts towards composition, narrative, context, process, and emotional impact.<p>Taking a clear photograph is easy with modern equipment, which means the bar for what's considered "good" is high.</p>

<p>I ride and work on motorcycles a lot.<p>tl;dr: Front wheel fork angle causes uprightness, the overall cause of turning is due to tire shape and contact patch at lean. Countersteering is the input to start and maintain leaning.<p>Bicycle and motorcycle physics have a lot of different forces at play, but the main one for keeping the bike upright is the front wheel, causing corrective steering at lean.<p>When a bike starts to fall, the rake angle causes the wheel to "self correct" and steer the bike towards uprightness. With speed, the bike wants to stay upright and will self correct.<p>To steer at low speeds (most bicycle speeds), you actually turn the wheel in the direction you want to go very briefly, "fall" into a lean and switch quickly to counter steer in the other direction, keeping the bike upright.<p>At high speed it's a bit different. You don't need to initiate the turn. You can just skip straight to counter steering, which forces a lean and causes a turn. At speed you are constantly upright, so you need some input to tilt the bike.<p>The effect of leaning to the right with the wheel self-correcting left, is an overall arc to the right (vise versa).<p>As for gyroscopic forces, these are at play but the force is negligible for keeping the bike upright. Heavier wheels have higher angular momentum, making the bike a bit harder to force a counter steer. They also affect how quickly a bike can accelerate given a certain force.<p>Recommended reading: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Motorcycle-Dynamics-Second-Vittore-Cossalter/dp/1430308613" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Motorcycle-Dynamics-Second-Vittore-Co...</a><p>Cool video: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSZiKrtJ7Y0&t=3s" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSZiKrtJ7Y0&t=3s</a></p>

<p>I just had a Facebook marketplace camera scam happen to me Today.<p>Seller marked as shipped, and delivered, but my package wasn't there.<p>After some sleuthing (I knew a guy who works in UPS) the seller put a different ship to address. So Facebook marketplace isn't doing something as simple as verifying the tracking label is heading to the right destination.<p>Only doing E-bay from here on out. They have this problem solved for the most part.</p>
