@gosha @neauoire I would certainly be open to that, if Merveilles wanted me.

I love the contrast in views from the train between the city and the countryside here.

Everybody loves that video of director Miyazaki Hayao feeding his employees instant Ramen for a late-night dinner at the studio, but nobody asks why he's making his employees work at the studio late at night.

I've been putting it off for years, but I should probably get around to moving off this instance at some point.

I was actually fine until 1200, at which point it felt like I’d suddenly hit a brick wall and could only get the gist of it (some parts were still clear, though). 1100, I couldn’t even get the gist of it, and only understood a few words.

The stamps at Gōtokuji station are surprisingly popular amongst tourists: I was fifth in line at 10 am! They're large, but relatively poor quality 'X-Stamper' self-inking stamps. I'm taking my M10, with a 35 mm lens, today.

Good morning! Today I'm visiting Iwafune station on the Ryōmō line in Tochigi prefecture, which was featured as a location in director Shinkai Makoto's 5 Centimeters per Second. I'll be taking the same route the protagonist does, riding from Gōtokuji on the Odakyū line, and passing through Shinjuku, Ōmiya and Oyama on JR's lines. The present-day route is faster, and requires fewer transfers, thanks to the introduction of the Shōnan–Shinjuku line service.

The folks behind Dark Sky spun themselves out of Apple and have built a new weather app: Acme Weather. “We missed those days as a small scrappy shop. So let’s try this again…” https://acmeweather.com/blog/introducing-acme-weather

Had to get it out of my system. Will probably turn it into a proper project over the next few visits, maybe do some medium format portraits of the vehicles + owners or something. For now this will do: https://gosha.net/2026/delica #得利卡

I've never been as disinterested in fixing my spelling and grammar mistakes as I do now, with so much text on the Web being LLM-generated slop.

If I'm going to buy a film scanner, I'm going to need some film to scan! Mostly this film, put through this camera, with this lens.

"The Claude C Compiler: What It Reveals About the Future of Software" by Chris Lattner https://www.modular.com/blog/the-claude-c-compiler-what-it-reveals-about-the-future-of-software

This rhymes with my IndexedDB experiment. Nothing truly novel or groundbreaking, just a generic middle-of-the-road implementation informed by its training data.

I've been building an RSS reader for the past year. No unread counts, no inbox to clear. Just a river that flows at its own pace.

Today it's live on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. I wrote about everything that went into it.

Finally got my Emacs setup just how I like it.

@somewhereinjp It's been updated since then, split into two parts, but it's freely available in PDF and EPUB! https://www.bousai.metro.tokyo.lg.jp/1028036/1028051/index.html

People pontificating about whether codebases containing LLM-generated code are subject to IP protection all seem to be forgetting the key point that the law always sides with capital

When big media decided that pirating an mp3 file should be a criminal (not civil) offence, the law sided with them

When big tech decided that pirating every piece of media on the internet for AI training was fair use, the law sided with them

I'm incapable of saying or hearing 'can't think of a reason not to' without recalling the introduction to Sam & Max Hit the Road. I reckon almost every line of dialogue in this game is permanently burnt into my memory.

I'm tempted to buy a 75 mm lens! Map Camera has quite a few of Cosina’s discontinued Voigtländer-brand 'HELIAR classic 75mm F1.8' lenses available for reasonable prices, but I also can't find many reviews.
