I am encouraged by Canada’s new AI for All strategy. It expands the conversation beyond research and talent to commercialization, IP retention, sovereignty, and supporting Canadian champions. To me, it reflects a broader and welcome shift from simply creating AI innovation to capturing more of the...

In the first post of this series, I was angry about the book’s linguistics. This time I’m angry about, well, everything else. A bigger job, so let’s start small, in a classroom. Early in Project Hail Mary, Dr. Ryland Grace (xenobiologist-turned-junior high science teacher, our narrator, our...

Handy app/web app I stumbled across today that helps you figure out the best time of the day or week to go for a run weather wise. There’s a couple of options you can set, e.g. do you mind running in the rain etc. The post Handy weather app for runners appeared first on Aaron Fisher.

I'm an AI skeptic, gleefully saving stories of AI deleting a company's entire database, or diagnosing faked diseases, or just frankly turning evil. Although it is more than happy to apologise for its poor behaviour, like after that time it set dinosaurs loose in Central Park. I'm waiting for the...

I don't really need to say more, do I? Don't let AI create your UI. Just don't do it. When I see a UI created by AI, I instantly recognize it as such. And I'm not the only one, I think most people notice if your UI was created by AI. And they hate it. It has a certain laziness and practicality to...

Portrait of the.... author? I have finished a draft of a book length thing. I have no idea what it is or who it is for but... I really like it. This is the second book length thing I have made. This once is clearly way better. I'm reading the draft and actually laughing at things I had forgotten...

“Gee Whizz!” Big green men invade a small town in this classic sci fi film If the plot of Invaders from Mars seems familiar then that’s likely to be because it’s proven to be hugely influential on subsequent generations of filmmakers. The likes of Joe Dante and John Landis are fans while Martin...

“You shall not pass!” [drop_cap]A[/drop_cap]dobe isn’t exactly a beloved company these days.

I had the worst idea the other day. What if magic expired? The language of magic changes over time and entropy erodes the spell on your scroll? Your magical potion goes bad. Enchantments rot. I really liked the idea of heroes stashing a potion in their backpack and then refusing to use it for...

A film set survives exactly one thing: the shot. The trouble starts when someone decides to move in. If you’ve ever been on a studio backlot, you’ve walked down a street that doesn’t exist. A row of perfect storefronts: the saloon, the bank, the sheriff’s office. A weathered sign that took...

For the past two years or so, I've been mistakenly getting emails from a church somewhere in Virginia. I've never been to this town, let alone this church. (For the record, I'm not really religious either, haven't been to church since I was a kid). It looks like its somewhere out near the Blue...

To set the scene: Last weekend I lost my voice, and then on Monday I woke up feeling totally ill. Maybe it was change of seasons, maybe it was the typhoon, or, maybe it was just not taking a break since in months. Probably a mixture of all three. Some things I have learned about losing your...

I work and feel best when I’m on a consistent routine — eating roughly the same things every day, going through the same morning and evening flows and daily schedule structures, and doing the same workouts (see: Congruence, MEQ, Just Call Me, and other posts on this site). I suspect this feels...

Remarks: This is my favourite Cher song not counting “I Got You Babe” (1965). It went to #1 on the US pop chart in 1974. She did not have another number-one hit till 24 years later – “Believe” (1998). That must be some kind of record. The video above comes from 1973 when she sang it on “The Sonny...
