  • Rodeo

    Last night, Vic, O, Ky and I went to the Granby Rodeo. It was a great time. For Octavia, she’s just a fan of the animals. There were lots of horses stomping around, and where we sitting had lots of sheep in a pen. That, along with jumping up and down on the bleachers, was…

  • Shout out

    It was a dry winter, and so far a hot summer. As such, the great State of Colorado is under Stage Two Water restrictions and a total fire ban. Fair enough. However, we are staying in the mountains for the Fourth of July long weekend, and out in the lobby, they have one of those…

  • Fable, Enabled

    It has been a busy few days for Dario and the team at Anthropic. After the US Government essentially shut down their latest model, Fable 5, the AI community has been begging for its return. Well, today was the day. I’m super stoked to give it another spin, especially on a few projects that I…

  • Man, Model, Me

    For the past few weeks, I have been competing in a three way tournament to predict the winner of the FIFA World Cup. Unlike most tipping competitions, where you compete against your friends, I am doing something slightly different. The two competitors are Model, and Market. Market is the aggregated betting odds of each match,…

  • Arrival

    My sister, Victoria, touched down today. She will be staying with us for a few days, which is super lovely. She’ll be spending some time with us in Denver, and a few days in Wyoming and Nee York with friends. Between the hustle, bustle, and plane trips for her, it’ll be nice to spend some…

  • Don’t need to know

    QANTAS sent me a flurry of emails this afternoon. For the second time, they have decided to move our flight times. The first time was super annoying, and meant we had to pick a new route. This time, they are changing the landing time by 15 minutes. That’s right, there has not been any change…

  • Secret Talent

    We had a big hit out at football today. 6×15 minute quarters was pretty brutal, especially with new boots that hadn’t been worn in yet. I spent the rest of the day feeling pretty stiff and sore. It was still a fun day out, and after the game, we even had some meat pies to…

  • Park life

    This afternoon we went to Parco Sancho, a (very) well designed park and playground about 10 minutes from our home. In Denver, there is a strong inverse relationship between sketchiness of the neighborhood and quality of the park. So when we say the towering council estates surrounding the park, we knew we were in for…

  • Reframe

    A guy I used to row with has been spectacularly successful since we lasted pull stick together (to be fair, he was very talented before that). He’s at the point where he is getting invited onto some of the smaller AI podcasts, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he is a big player at one…

  • Rough night

    O has two (TWO!) new teeth coming through, and a fever. It’s not a good combination. I’m writing this, semi-hiding in the kitchen, after Ky and I endured a very difficult night. There is light at the end of the tunnel though, even if it’s the first edges of the sun coming up. Onwards.
