It is, however, sad that eating tomatoes barely moves the needle for vitamin C intake. It's almost not worth it. So much food it totally useless.

🙁🍅🍅🍅

(Fortunately, tomatoes are not that expensive, and are delicious.)

Turns out I was just easily doing ~10x the daily recommended amount of vitamin C, days on end, just from eating delicious kiwifruit.

Another first-time for me today, also an incredibly funny (and wonderful) one: someone voluntarily overturned their earlier rejection of me. 😂/💛🌱

英國的朋友收到了茶壺，還發了一大篇感想，因為是地球post, 分享過來，我也是第一次看見壺原來的樣子。
金繼不僅是修補，還重新連接了人，這個壼就通過4個舊雨新知才回到舊主人手中。

I accompanied her home with the idea of reducing her chance of sleeping through her bus stop since she's so sleepy. We ended up… not sleeping so early. 😩❤️

I really look forward to LLMs becoming more powerful. Currently they are starting to be useful, but they could be so much more useful, like, actually powerful.

Example query that appeared to be too ambitious for present-day LLMs (~Sonnet 4): "list the candidates of the current election, look up incumbent and past council members, look up their voting records, pairwise calculate same-vote overlap, and show a graph with clustering".

The context window still seems too small though, and the ability to summarize information is still too weak. For actual data-insight ideas, it still appears impossible to one-shot it.

Tasks in which I benefited from LLM use:

- planning/research for a sewing project
- investigation of the background of election candidates
- closing my browser tabs and summarizing into a note (for Obsidian)

Now that the LLMs are less stupid than they were, and that their ability to search the internet and summarize information is actually getting better, I'm able to put them to much better use. I might buy some LLM tokens later.

I'm doing so much laundry... there will be another 7-day window in which I have someone over during 4+ days.

She stayed over for two nights over the weekend. We spent a lot of time together... [redacted]. 😊 Everyone got very tired.

OTOH, it's so cheap… you're telling me that some kind of vaguely strategically-meaningful work in the EU costs no more than a few houses? 😂🚲

Bit of an awkward location (and local politics/history) there, Narva… 🇪🇪🇪🇺

Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:

Things continue to happen very quickly, just like how they tend to feel [to me] around equinox times. Autumn mania.

and OTOH, it looks like there are the beginnings of a new little relationship sprouting, despite this being a season of harvest and fall. 🌱🍂

(This time around, she actually knows me on Twitter/bsky, and can read this. Hello, you! ❤️)

The feeling of the "life setback" earlier ( x.com/easoncxz/sta... ) is... a little bit alleviated. On one hand, my relationship with her seems to be strengthening, bsky.app/profile/easo...

I'm slowly dealing with my equinox-time anxiety by drinking coffee, gritting my teeth, and doing tasks as fast as possible. 🚂🍂

Southerly winds here have often brought precipitation, but in the cold months, it usually is a moment of warmth (e.g. raining in a snow season). This week there are southerlies, but the weather is much colder than weeks past. Autumn is solidly here. 🍂

I remember reading an old blog some years ago about the benefit of making oneself more replaceable at work, in a software context; not sure if it's this article, but it's a nice read and captures the idea: www.ousbey.com/blog/make-yo...

She braided my hair while I did everyone's dishes. 🥰

I also have absolutely zero chance of bench-pressing 1x bodyweight -- it's straight up far beyond my one-rep max. 🙃

My muscular strength is very unevenly (and unconventionally) distributed -- I have no trouble doing 8-rep sets of 1x bodyweight lat-pulldowns, but I have trouble with squatting the same weight on a barbell. 🙃
