The problem with democracy is that you can vote people in who do not believe in democracy.

Trump didn’t lose the Mid Terms because he started the war with Iran. He lost because he didn’t FINISH IT.

Tried out the Ponytail skill today and I was blown away! It writes and audits code like a senior developer, cutting out unnecessary bloat and preventing junk code from creeping in. And since I started using it, EVERY single GitHub Actions check has passed! https://github.com/dietrichgebert/ponytail

Rostam 2.0 is out! My self-hosted exercise tracker now supports gym sessions alongside its core Grease the Groove tracking. I had a lot of fun auditing it with the Ponytail skill. https://github.com/mktahmasbi99/Rostam

I’ve been playing the first Prince of Persia lately, the Sega Genesis version. I never finished it as a kid. I didn’t have a computer at home when I first got into the game and years later, when I finally managed to emulate it, I was too busy playing games like Mortal Kombat. 😅 This game is so difficult. I’m following a YouTube walkthrough and using save states, which weren’t an option back then. (Kids abroad had access to magazines with walkthroughs and advice from other players, but this wasn't a thing back in Iran.) I’m on level 10 now, with only 10 minutes left before the timer runs out. I have so much respect for the kids who actually finished this game back then!

Today, I realized there’s a Prince of Persia movie and its story was written by the game’s creator, Jordan Mechner!

Recently, we watched Frequency (2000), a time-travel thriller from back when Yahoo! was still a thing and its stock actually had value. Watching it itself felt a little like time travel. I usually hate time-travel films. As soon as time travel enters the story, I start looking for reasons it can’t work. If it were possible, wouldn’t someone from the future have visited us by now? And then there’s the butterfly effect and, more particularly, the grandfather paradox, which makes it IMPOSSIBLE! Still, I had a great time with this one. The story unfolds masterfully, then pulls you in before you notice how invested you are. The writing is clever, the acting is excellent, and the suspense really pulls you in. Spoiler: I especially liked that when the past changes, the character’s memories of the present change too. I don’t see that handled often and it felt like a smart choice. The movie also gets that changing shit in the past should affect the present. What I can’t figure out, though, is why the baseball results they predict stay the same, no matter what else changes! The cast is full of talented actors and the crime story works even if time travel usually isn’t your thing. It’s central to the movie, sure, but it isn’t the only reason to watch. I'd give it 7/10.

I took some rough notes after today's jiu-jitsu class, fed them to ChatGPT, and asked it to polish them. The screenshot shows what I got. You might not recognize the app I'm using to track my BJJ training and daily workouts, because that's also something I vibe-coded with AI. Strange times, innit? 😅🥹

Ah, shit. Here we go again!

My app after I add annotations on it for Codex to apply.

Desert Strike (1994) It was one of my childhood games that I played on Sega. Got it running using an MS-Dos simulator core in RetroArch. Just ordered a Gamesir Nova Lite 2 to play it. Dunno if I play it or not.

The Lawnmower Man had great potential. They fucked it up. I think there should be wave of people rewriting old messed up stories. I'm toying with the idea of re-writing the scenario, but not fucking it up. Seriously!

AI knows it's a machine. How much more self-aware do you want it to be?
