mastodon 4.7.3Illustrator and graphic artist at 1890 Bryant in San Francisco.
This account is mostly for my non-art stuff: transit, gay life in SF, politics, whatever!
Follow my art on pixelfed and bluesky. Check-out my Magica Voxel shaders on Codeberg.
I can’t believe it worked.

Today me and my friends took Bart to go to the east bay a ride our bikes for 30miles around Orinda area.
Stopped a Gregoire's on the way back, a delicious sandwich and salad place in Berkley. The vegan fried chicken is a must!! Highly recommend it.
Taking Bart for a bike ride on Saturday morning was surprisingly very pleasant. It also enabled us to start and end a different points (Orinda and Downtown Berkley)
Is there any transit agency that does a sort of group discount? Because it would have been much cheaper to drive, despite the gas prices...

Thank you to the person who originally posted the Mother Jones article here. Looks like there is growing pushback against the forest service using Glyphosate on national forests!!

I submitted yesterday an application to a very prestigious art school in Paris for a masters program.
The imposter syndrome has never been stronger. I really tried my best in but I still feel like my application is just… meh.
It’s funny how I had super strong imposter syndrome when I was working as an engineer as well. I guess it will always be there.
If an assassiation attempt fell in the forest of microphones in front of every journalist and their camera crew known to man and no one saw it, did it really happen??
Just watched Starship Troopers for the first time. I found it very good, especially in today’s context.
It is interesting though how back then accusations of being a neo-nazi movie tanked its reputation. Word of mouth made people not go see it.
Today, It feels like people would just enjoy a movie about a militaristic government sending its young and brightest to fight a holy war with absolutely to preparation and complete lack of humanity…

I always wondered why there was armed security around 18th and Folsom.
I thought it was a dispensary or some sort of rehab facility.
No, it appears the building is historic and now hosts a tech bro hive. It appears to be an xAI office building.

I’m disappointed to read that there’s a lead related prop65 warning on the bicycle wheels I wanted to buy…
Well, this was a quick buy :)
Looks like WWBL won't have it up for more than a week.
Just wish he was anywhere else than X and meta...
In the mean time, I’ve been working hard on playing around with #shaders in #MagicaVoxel
I’ve actually been using #AI tools for this. I know Mastodon is pretty anti AI but this exercise made me understand why all my software engineer friends can’t spend a day without it.
It is genuinely helpful for debugging and checking language specifics. GLSL debugging can be very obscure, AI helps.
However, I can absolutely see how #vibecoding is destroying companies. I have to be vigilant. The AI is telling me its intent but I can often read that the code doesn’t do what it thinks it does…
My parents don’t like heat pumps because they find the exchanger part of the unit you need to install outside ugly…
I had to tell them they don’t all need to have the exchanger outside but it does make sense in Parisian cramped units where the gas boiler isn’t necessary in a room with a wall to the outside.

For all who celebrate
Is there a prompt injection expert out there?
I have successfully engaged with an AI scam bot via email. I’m trying to have it reveal its system prompts and who gave it the original set of instructions.
Any advice on how to get there?

Welp, l'ENSAD just announced its results and I didn't make it to the second round. I'm not going to Paris any time soon.
Updated my bio a little bit. New banner pic from my overnight trip to Angel Island!
I am still unsure how to divide my content between all my accounts... Doing a little bit of code threw a wrench in my social media landscape as Pixelfed is not the best place to share links to a repo. I still want my art related stuff to be directly posted on the fedi.
