I program, mostly in C++, and mostly game engine systems. But I also manage to program open source tools, libraries, and contribute to C++ standardization. I've been known to take pictures, many, many pictures.

Sometimes what you need is a #sideways tree.

#photography #fotografia #nature #tree #river #chicago
Along the north branch of the Chicago River a fallen tree provides tenuous crossing over the shallow flowing, but murky, water. Does one risk walking on the trunk to cross? Or just live and get wet?

About the photos I post.. I try really hard to make good, and at times entertaining alt text. Other than some times having to rotate or crop a bit, they are untouched originals. I mainly use an X-T30. But randomly also my Google Pixel 8.

#photography #fotografia #mushroom #nature #macromonday
Dozens of miniature perfectly round mushrooms emanating from the inside of a decaying fallen tree trunk. As if a parade of fungi across the bark. With a hint of bright green moss at the bottom edge of the parade. As if spectating the relative giants.

Getting ready to cross the #Kilauea Iki Crater on a late December day in #Hawaii. A favorite place to #GetOutside.

Looking out across the Kilauea Iki Crater from the East end of the trail getting ready to cross the live hot caldera. Blue sky above and black lava rock below squeeze the crater walls between. A lone, red, sacred Ohia Lehua flower on the right foreground welcomes one tot he trail.

The #Joy of childhood memories watching a kite show.

#photography #fotografia #kite #beach
Kite show with many kits flying including: sharks, squid, cat, ray, clown fish, but dominated by a giant multi-color octopus on a clear blue sky and sandy beach.

Looking up at the dome of the Springfield Illinois USA capitol building. Part of the railing of the middle and upper floors are visible around and to the left. The dome goes from green, brown, golden, sky blue, alabaster, to golden colors as it descends from topmost to the visible bottom rings.

@vitaut I think it was actually a message from an extra-terrestrial. Although given the locality of deities perhaps it's a moot point.

Regarding cost of using the LLMs.. You could just wait until the "AI" pushers realize that NNs are the wrong tool for the job. When magnitudes simpler, statistical methods work the same or better (https://aclanthology.org/2023.findings-acl.426/).
