The blackout seemed to have taken the internet by storm, but not much has been heard about it since. Now that things seem to have mostly been resolved, I want to give an overview of what happened and my thoughts about it all.

Why The Blackout Happened

In case you …

Yesterday, I went on the shortest walk I've been on in months. The smoke from the forest fires not too far from my town was extremely bad, so my eyes began to burn after just a few minutes outside. Growing up, I assumed that we would have figured out global …

I was taking a look at my old GBA, and I couldn't help but think about how much technology has advanced since it came out. It's been 20 years since that came out, so according to Moore's Law, modern hardware is 1024x better now. Seriously, our phones are better than …

While I was watching yesterday's MrBeast video, I noticed that the picture from Chris's coming out tweet was taken while filming for the $1,000,000 yacht. That tweet came out April 27, so MrBeast waited over a month to upload this video. I know that you need to edit …

I think Tiktok was one of the worst things to happen to the internet. Social media and the like have always been bad for you, but short form content like literally everything found on Tiktok is like cyanide for your attention span. I refuse to use the app, but it's …

With all the hype (and fear) about ChatGPT and existential threats caused by AI, I think it'd be good for society as a whole to take a step back and calmly analyse what AI are. No matter how advanced they are, they're just really big equations filled with matrix multiplication …

As I get back into Minecraft, I'm reminded by how awesome the cliff update was. It's genuinely breathtaking to see the new overworld terrain generation while exploring my world. Sadly, I've found myself in a situation where I have to be reminded that the cliff update was paired with a …

Yeah, it was definitely janky, but it's incredible that the devs were able to make an AI that could respond to what the player says all the way back in 2005. Another problem was that the devs were limited by the number of lines that they could get the actors …
