2/2 The close-ups of my wildfire embroidery. I tried to get a glowing effect with the fire and embers with colours I chose. I cut up my favourite cardigan for the rough charred ground as it was the only fabric I had with the right colour and texture but its not needed in this heat anyway...

Embers glow in the trees.A zoomed-in embroidery hoop containing a sewn aerial view landscape. It shows a forest on the right, a line of fire and charred ground with smoke on the left.

just got back from resting my shoulder to return to analysing my design notes, last thing i looked at was an observation i made three months ago about the state of my physical health four months ago, and i simply noted down "pressure to put research work above physical wellbeing". it is 11pm.

the actual success of the 'friendslop' genre i think at least partly comes down to just emulating the feeling of loading up a weird surrealist mod of half-life in 2001 and joining a random server for a few evenings and then never playing it again. the genre is just like... y2k internet mod scene.

The reason the strawberry thing stuck with people is that it’s a simple error that implied other unseen errors. If you are using an LLM looking for a *provably* correct output, then great! If you are putting an LLM in a huge automated chain and assuming it can do stuff with no oversight, then uh-oh.
