As promised, here comes another DC Movie Comic adaptation of a creaky, old Universal fright film classic (see our previous post for Son of Frankenstein in case you missed it!) And this time it's a spooky detective mystery set in a haunted theatre --where murder hath taken the stage! From the...

Two days before the end of the world, he suddenly realized he had never truly lived. His calendar was full, except for two untouched days. He panicked. Restless and furious, he went to the angel of death to ask god for more days. He shouted and cursed. He raged at the heavens and the...

A CI smoke test told me Kinjo had crashed. Kinjo had actually exited successfully. That distinction took a few hours, several AI sessions, a handful of discarded hypotheses, and a small crash-capture toolkit to uncover. I was updating dependencies in Kinjo, my side project for browsing local...

A friend of mine was watching someone ask an agent to generate a PDF. He was amused. “Why are people spending tokens on that? You can run a terminal command in two seconds.” He was right about the math. He was wrong about the point. The PDF is not the point. The Task Is Not the Investment When...

Hello. My name is Rick. Long ago, when I graduated high school, my dream was to become a professional jazz trumpet player. I knew that I wasn't nearly as good as my jazz heroes, but I naively assumed that college music school would transform me into a "great" player. Unfortunately, after two...

Judging by the title, I really expected Tiny Bullets to be another one of those excellent 3D shooting games secretly hiding in the Playstation library, like Gungage and Cosmowarrior Zero. Instead, it's more of a combination of Tomb Raider's meticulous 3D platforming and Resident Evil's simple "put...

Hey my friend... how do we balance all of the options and opportunities that there are out there nowadays? It seems like every single day, we find 100s of potential ways to make money, find partners, improve our health, grow spirituality, etc. How can we tell the difference between what is truly...

Book 31 of 2026: Star Trek: The Enterprise Logs ⭐️⭐️⭐️: Look – by just about any realistic objective measure (script, plot, science, fidelity to nearly any aspect of Star Trek, printing quality, etc.), these are bad; two stars would be generous. But as artifacts of 1970s Trek comics medium, they’re...

Formal training gives you a framework, but sometimes that framework becomes a cage. If you've ever caught yourself second-guessing a bold instinct because some professor's voice popped into your head, this one's for you.

A respectable man drinks a potion and becomes a monster. Then the monster starts showing up on his own, uninvited. Hyde was never a separate person. He was Jekyll, convinced he was someone else.

Well, my impulse purchase of Damien Wilkins's Max Gate turned out to be a good one. Since I last mentioned it, I have finished reading it (at my usual snail's pace), and found it thoroughly enjoyable (apart from a few jarring anachronisms – 'Okay', 'in denial', 'basically'). It's actually the...

Part of my side-project’s codebase uses Flan T5 XL for some generative tasks. Flan T5 is an LLM that was released in October 2022. The XL version that I use has 3 billion parameters. Might sound like a lot but it’s small by modern standards. Kimi K3 has 2.8 trillion parameters. It has been...
