I have thoroughly enjoyed the EGSR conference and the Prague visit, and wish to have more time to explore this fantastic city.
I did not have time for drawings aside from a few very quick finger sketches on my small mobile phone, but plan to draw some from visual impression later.
Upon arrival at FRA I learned that my connection flight to PRG was delayed to the next day, so I took Lufthansa’s offer for free taxi rides and hotel stay in Kronberg, which turned out to be a very nice town with a historical district (including a castle) and nice restaurants.
My wife told me that my Stanford “classmate” (we both worked in the CS building and attended piano lessons together), who later cofounded one of the most successful companies in human history, is going through his second divorce recently.
I didn’t know about this and my wife told me that she learned about that via TechCrunch (instead of some paparazzi source).
Which made me wonder if he is happier than I am. I think it is highly unlikely, but I wish the best for him.
Summer time all kinds
of bugs play their symphony
in the bushes and trees
America considered itself such an exceptional country that it decided to take some steps backwards so that other countries can have a better chance to catch up.
During a recent meeting, a brilliant young professor (rising star in HCI) told me that he just came back from a body scan after his recent fall from stairs. He couldn’t even move a few days ago, and his facial complexion looks like vegetables. Fortunately, I believe he is young enough to recover quickly.
I know this sounds like cliché, but your health is the most important thing for you, and nothing should take precedence over that.
I did some experiments with Midjourney’s prompt-based image generation.
(I am glad that the site imposes GPU compute constraints as otherwise I might be tempted to spend endless time exploring the rabbit hole.)
The first one came from a real life experience I encountered the very same morning: A painting by Joan Miro of a laptop computer that still works after being cracked open by heat coming from the office window, after some iterations here is one I like:
The second one also came from a real-life experience, which I iterated to bring out the vegetables from: A vegetarian descendant of Genghis Khan
