The Sense of Fatigue — Feb 28, 2026Yesterday I went for a run and I struggled. The distance was four point five kilometres so it was short. I suspect that it’s running straight after lunch that made me find the run hard.... -
Playing with Meta AI in a Sandbox — Feb 27, 2026Today I decided to download and play with Meta AI but I didn’t use my Facebook or Instagram accounts. I used a brand new account with no connection to me. I don’t trust Facebook and the Meta “pattte blanche”, especially with AI, given how AI can manipulate us without us realising.... -
Gemini and Context Splicing — Feb 26, 2026Imagine that you’re out for a walk. You’re looking at the landscape and taking photos with your camera or phone. At the same time your GPS watch, or phone app is recording your location every second. What remains of the walk is a gps track that has a resolution of one set of gps co-ordinates per second, and photos when you took photos. Most of the walk is “lost” because to record video of the entire walk would be too consuming.... -

A discussion with Gemini about Google AI Plus — Feb 23, 2026Last night and this morning I have been toying with the idea of the paid tiers and whether they’re worth it. In the proces I told Gemini about my context and it went from advising me the pro tier at 170 CHF per year, to going for the “free” Google AI studio option.... -
On the CycPlus AS2 — Feb 22, 2026The Cycplus AS2 is a pocket sized inflator that can easily be taken while cycling with a group or alone. It doesn’t have a display and it doesn’t tell you how much battery but it does inflate a tyre within seconds with minimal effort.... -
The Over-Inflated Tyre — Feb 21, 2026Today, for the first time during a bike ride, I had a tyre puncture. I suspect that it wasn’t a tyre puncture but rather that I over-inflated the tyre, and that due to the wet, gravelly conditions of the roads, the inner tube eventually failed.... -
Keeping kDrive Tidy Despite iOS — Feb 20, 2026One of the many iOS flaws is that if you download photos and videos it defaults to throwing them into your photo album, whether they’re yours, and that’s why it’s good to tidy up. For the tidying up effort today I used ffprobe, find and the kDrive desktop drive, as well as terminal and a secure shell....
