I have written about the first, second and third laws of thermodynamics; these three laws are numbered in chronological order and, I believe, in logical order. But, in 1932, the English physicist Sir Ralph Fowler (1889-1944) proposed that there should be a further law that logically belonged before the other three. So it is called the Zeroth law of themodynamics. The zeroth law considers three objects a, b and c. …

Father John Misty “Josh Tillman and the Accidental Dose” Talking Heads may have written the most popular song about snapping out of a fugue state and having an existential crisis, but Josh Tillman has spent most of his career exploring this lyrical territory in-depth without ever getting a good answer to the question “how did I get here?” “Josh Tillman and the Accidental Dose” is played as dark comedy, with …

Here’s my regular post of old photos from ten years ago. This time, it’s November 2014, plus a few from October 2014 that I missed last month. Another day, another train disruption. Plenty of unhappy punters at Richmond. For a while, Metro was putting ads on the windows. Not good. This was how a Comeng train looked from the outside. …and here was the view from the inside of a …

Has anyone perhaps imagined, on seeing videos of that ilk which go into displays of the old ultraviolence, what such would look like if, just before the proverbial line was crossed into mayhem, the whole suddenly (and without warning to viewers, mind you–especially such who might be easily attracted to the potential of pulling off copycat displays, excusing God, Donald Trump and Country as their defence all along) cut away …

18C. End of November. Crazy. Tried the Aquarium but a wind tunnel and 12 feet of line six feet up didn't work. Pin man trotting backwards for pairs of eyes. Pool too pacey so fished the tail and a nest of chublets close in. Monday dawned and 6C. Topsy turvy.

May 2024 First of a confession, the title of this walk is slightly incorrect. It is actually two walks, a short walk from Monreith to Port William and then a walk from Garlieston to Monreith, but it seemed easier to write it up as one walk since they were done on the same day. For this walk I am staying in Portpatrick, at the Portpatrick Hotel. It continues to surprise, …

JANEK SCHAEFER - CONSCIOUS SEDATION While struggling with serious health issues, and awaiting an operation, a nurse mentioned that Janek Schaefer was about to have 'conscious sedation' surgery. Janek immediately recognized this as the title for his new album. Empowered by his concept of '+ve intent' (+ve = positive), the album portrays Janek's 'cosmic metaphysical experiences having daily ‘photon power showers’ in order to save my life, using the same …

I've been coding with GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT for a couple of years now. Last week, I started using Cursor and am really enjoying it. I'm particularly enjoying the switch to Claude 3.5 Sonnet. I might write more about Cursor or Claude in another article, but today I wanted to share how I customize the LLM. LLMs are annoying by default I find LLM output to be somewhat annoying and …
