My motto in life: Nothing happens for a reason. All and everything in life is a coincidence.

I notice that people’s default smartphone camera resolution is almost always 4K. Let me tell you something. The only screen that you might own that outputs native 4K is your TV. Your phone is not 4K, your tablet is not 4K. Almost all social media channels including Instagram do not support 4K video. And shooting in 4K takes up 3x more of your storage than 1080p. Shoot in 1080p. Unless you’re uploading to YouTube or see yourself watching videos you take on your TV often, 4K is not the ideal option.

Today I realized Claude doesn’t know my last name.

Anyone running iOS 27 developer beta in Lebanon on an iPhone 16 Pro and later? Got a question.

Fake-interviewing people on the streets and forcing them to follow a script so that they compliment your product while filming it has got to be the worst, most cringiest marketing tactic ever. And most companies choose kids to do so because an adult would never.

My favorite activity during the summer heat is cranking up the AC to 20°C and covering myself in a blanket.

My biggest number one feature request for LLMs is for them to initiate a conversation. Ever since the launch of ChatGPT, it’s been the same. You open any LLM app, you ask it a question or just chat with it. It’s time for LLMs to start taking the initiative. Imagine chatting with Claude yesterday about a job interview you had at 10am and at 11am you receive a notification from Claude asking you how the interview went. Or you’ve checked the stock price of a company a few days ago and receiving a notification that their stock went up. Or complaining about a health problem and checking up on your symptoms days later. Or venting about an argument you had with your partner and following up with you on the matter. So many use cases for this. I know it might come off as creepy for most people but I am very certain that this is what the future holds. It could be an opt-in, optional feature.

I didn’t get the chance to use Fable 5 for something complex. I am using Opus 4.8 for most things and 95% of the times, it really excels with whatever I throw at it.

The world shifted when we started counting protein.

Travel is overrated. Happiness where you are is the only trip worth taking.

Our government needs to stop spending money on buying busses for touristic reasons and budget the money to build an actual train system their own people would benefit from for once.

Not my day.

i am starting to think love is just something that happens to other people.

i don't get the obsession with being instagram famous. somewhere along the way a stranger's view started feeling more important than a person sitting across from you. we'd rather be watched by thousands who don't know us than known by the few who do.

Don't judge people? Why not? Some people act to be judged.

Oulo mabrouk.

11:11 Hey

A person who runs five kilometers on a broken foot has done something more significant than someone who runs it healthy.

At this point, gays are no longer minorities. They’re majorities.

Banning Fable 5 is ridiculous. The model is clearly outrageously smart and could be easily used for malicious reasons. However, banning it is not the solution. What we need is more regulation over what the average consumer and corporations are allowed to do with it. I am starting to think this is a marketing stunt. Also, if the US banned it, why are all countries affected by the ban?
