New Blog Post: LLMs, ADHD, and Awareness of Self

Writing code was never the problem, which is why the "slot machine effect", horrifyingly, makes developers feel more 'effective'.

TIL "the dress" debate predated the actual dress:

"It had a complex pattern of golden dragons on a blue background. They were extremely complicated dragons [...] but the worst thing about it was that if you looked at it long enough the pattern became blue dragons on a gold background, and a terrible feeling stole over you that if you kept on trying to see both types of dragon at once your brains would trickle out of your ears."

- Terry Pratchett, "Sourcery", 1988

You just have to unionize.

yes, a very simple process. super easy. there is definitely not a network of legally protected asshole lawyers for hire that work to make sure you cannot unionize. there is definitely no negative sentiment fostered by companies in workers with hundreds of hours of anti-union trainings. you definitely won't get fired for trying to join or make a union. just unionize.

Gentle reminder, when someone is sharing some small piece of resistance they have done, DO NOT SHIT ON IT. Do not tell them it isn't enough or it's still bad because blah blah other stuff...

Everyone is tired and overwhelmed and trying to find some accessible way they can push back. Cheer that!

Celebrate the small; celebrate the imperfect.

No single action is gonna solve everything, but a whole bunch of small actions start the sea change.

Don't punch down when we all need lifting up.

Watercolor Journey: Trakk in New York (19/20)

From Europe to the Americas.
After Anthrocon we spent a few days in New York City, walking among places that somehow already felt familiar thanks to countless movies and TV shows.
One of my favorite spots was Brooklyn Bridge Park, under the Manhattan Bridge, with a beautiful view of the lower Manhattan skyline.

This green friend,Trakk, seems to enjoy it too, making his way from one rock to the next one.

Now we are arriving almost to the very end of the journey, New York City was the very last stop. Tomorrow I'll be sharing the very last one.

If you are enjoying this trip, and you want to see not only these pictures on HD, but also the scanned versions, to get to see more drawings that I haven't posted yet, process videos and more, and at the same time support me to keep doing this kind of projects, support me on Patreon or Ko-Fi, I would be highly grateful with you:

Watercolor Journey: Sparky in Walenstadt (18/20)

From Sweden to Switzerland. In my opinion and in my experience visiting many places, this is probably one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Don't get me wrong, each country has something beautiful to offer, even I'm in love with the beauty of my own country, Mexico. But there is something magical from Switzerland, not believing that so pretty sceneries exist, like taking out from a calendar from a tortilleria.

I got some hours to be able to scout and paint something on Walensee, I was insisting to add the mountains on the background so I had a fixation on finding something pointing towards this specific angle.
It was also very refreshing to get in this lake on the evening, after sunset (which was at 21:00) and there was still a lot of light. Randomly there was a trampoline floating in the middle of the lake.

And here is Sparky, contemplating life. I was kind of doing the same while painting this, so many introspective thoughts were running through my mind, and this trip helped me a lot to be able to talk to myself much more, to lose the fear of listening to my own thoughts.

During their last camping, Pique was completely captivated by a tiny slug he found by the creek, while Rabid couldn't help smiling at how excited he was.

Watercolor Journey: Jinx in Stockholm (17/20)

Now we are in Sweden. My second time in Stockholm, but first time in summer. Last time had been 2019 when NordicFuzzCon was held in there.
This time everything was green and pretty, I spent many days in there but the only painting I did of Sweden was in Skansen, a very inspiring area with so many animals.

Including this blue african wild dog, named Jinx, who was just chilling here on a bench. (And my friend was wondering what exactly was interesting on that bench. Adding these characters on my scenes was feeling like having imaginary friends)

Watercolor Journey: Ja-Sun and Randall in Tallinn (16/20)

Walking in Tallinn, I crossed a very beautiful alley called Katariina Käik. I was finding so many spots to paint but I was there only for one day. I was not only looking for iconic but also some shades and colors that could bring me a feeling for a good composition, when I saw these stone arches I knew this was a spot.
I included this door that at first I thought "this is too complicated, I'm not going to include it" and then "why not? let's try it!". And... I tried!

And in the alley, we see Randall, the red fox, playing tag with Ja-Sun, the catsune (cat/fox)

Watercolor Journey: Bento and Shackle in Tallinn (15/20)

From France now we are going to Estonia, this is Tallinn, outside the walls from the old city.
I liked Tallinn more than I thought I was going to like it, and despite not making many paintings in this place, definitely it was one of my favorite spots I visited during the journey, especially because I didn't know what to expect and suddenly I was feeling like in the middle of a D&D campaign.

But here is where Bento got to see Shackle, he has a little bit of crush on him, as we can see.

Watercolor Journey: Furzy in Paris (14/20)

Keep walking on Paris, and me, choosing more architecture for watercolor paintings, it's like me wanting to complicate myself. I got to learn that it's fine to add more colors than the ones I'm seeing in my references, I was already aware that it was not about copying, but about interpretating whatever I had in front, which those are only references to turn it in something that tell more things, like a little tiger just riding on a bike, heading to the vegetables store, because some how tigers need to eat veggies as well.

This cute white tiger is Furzy.
