  • Architect here. Many of us are cooked. Asking a generalized model to spit out something legible will certainly yield these kinds of results. However, much of architecture, like many other fields, is based on facts driven by codes and prescriptive values. Those can be learned and easily maintained over time. Tools like Finch, Hypar, TestFit, and many others are attempting to streamline so so much of the design process. They’re also removing a tremendous amount of tedium, sure, but in doing so they are preventing the next generation of designers from becoming masters of the craft. It’s pretty discouraging, because you either keep up with the times by using these tools aimed at eliminating your entire career field, or you can boycott them and lose out on work.




  • My wife and I use Immich via Tailscale to avoid the need of any proxying and serious account management. That said, I have yet to fully transition from GP because I have at least one shared album that a few dozen people regularly access. Still need to test setting up a shared album w/ reverse proxy for this one. But then if I want to share another album I’d likely need to set up another proxy…or see if shared albums share a common URL I could use as a catch all. Still need to test.


  • Our musical tastes seem almost perfectly aligned, so I’ll try and throw out a few curve balls:

    1. AJR - pretty corny, but fuck if almost every song ain’t a bop.
    2. The Districts - A Flourish and a Spoil
    3. Mansions - Dig Up the Dead
    4. Stop Light Observations - oRANGE.
    5. Disco Elysium Soundtrack has been my go to of late when I don’t want lyrics cluttering my head.
