LMFAO. We don't know each other well enough for you to make statements about me publicly like that. I'd strongly encourage you to stop and reflect on what you're doing before we proceed. Shut the fuck up, Respectfully. Don't tell lies about me and I'll tell no truths about you.

Ivan, Respectfully, Shut the fuck up.

Let's roll

This has come up a lot. We're team Mary! Shoshanah is an eagle-eyed Alaskan (living in Mexico, as do various species of eagle.) campaigning for Pelota who spotted this. I've created the Alaskans Abroad (in Mexico) for Mary Peltola to help. Our website, DontSleepOnAlaska.com will be live shortly!

This is what was getting posted about Kamala in August of 2024. Would be a solid bit tbh.

I've been playing w/ OpenXR/MPC/local LLM dev. Sending Flight Simulator data to the LLM, but my GPU struggles with that and VR. But I learned that people modded Skyrim VR for access. Which I can refactor into my own codebase... But now I've learned the Russians somehow did this for MORROWIND.

Earthquake?

Boating in Southeast in VR is pretty badass.

This was really cool to see last night. It was as if astigmatism were a superpower. these photos do a great job of capturing the 3d map pin feeling of them.

While I'm not terribly sold on renaming Pioneer Park to "dont spend divert the funding from the museum funding", I'm super interested in knowing more about the gorilla exhibit.

2300 days ago I built a bunch of visualizations and joined 57 Excel sheets in a database to give testimony about the need for Alaskans to not only access, but truly understand their data. Just formally accepted that responsibility, for the homies. #akleg

As long as I've been here, it's been Pioneer Park. 🤔

10yrs ago I was listening to the Fairbanks govt meetings and learned: • They cease snow-removal operations at -30°F or colder. • People who think this is unnecessary *will* testify on this. • The best version comes from these two events lining up on the same day. What blessings each day brings.

little screenshot of some data processing for science saturday.

I need someone to pick one of these finance committee hearings. For science. You just need to tell me the date.

Hello from snowy Fairbanks!

New fairbanks first for me: Was holding a metal clip in my hands and put it in my mouth to take my mittens off at -25°. Definitely a dry cold.

Getting assigned our breakout groups for the hackathon. They had discrepancies on groupings so they just say your name and what they think your good at in front of everyone. Should start every week like this for morale tbh.

What if CBJ is spending public dollars on private govt meetings because they miss me and secretly love the openeetings act as much as I do. 🤔

Hit -25°F today. Bought a Fjallraven Parka so I don't die or whatever. big coats got us over the barrel folks. The next time it hits -25°F, I say we hit them back!

Learning the joys of shoveling a driveway that is 200' * 20' and ends in a loop with adjacent 75 * 12' pad. My Rocky IV montage will just be Morgan and I throwing shovelfuls of snow in the woods at each other at night. Fairbanks is still 10/10. Went curling. Been fartin around. Prolly staying.

Reaping what we've sown for the people. Hell yeah. #akleg

Got to say "Good Curling" a minimum of fourteen times tonight. The we had dinner and drinks with friends which technically makes it great curling.

Got a couple hundred lines of code out into the world today. Feels good to defrag the brain and get some janky hacks delivered.

Looks like I've got two minutes to craft some record requests of my beloved CBJ before work.

Teaching the robots about Sarah Palin and Barack Obama.

Saw the northern lights and Denali before work. Went curling for lunch. 12/10 kind of day so far.

building a RAG stack that can index all of my pdfs, and then index those indexes... So I can run natural language queries against one, some, or all of my pdfs or even sets of indexes. Going to try to build a specific one for legislative stuff tomorrow.

Working on incorporating Vision Language Models into the #akleg transcription engine this weekend. Trying to capture summaries of slides during subcmte process (esp closeout) and presentations of Lunch and Learns. I've got a skeleton working but its slow/not great right now.

Got to spend ten days solo at the house this month. Spent almost twenty without leaving the property. Morgan's dad checked on me and noticed I wasn't getting cabin fever(??) Quite the opposite. This is amazing. That dude from The Shining was soft.

KTOO and Alaska Press Club getting mentions on John Oliver's show tonight. 🥳

Its on HBO and maybe Hulu. From 1964. Might have to watch tonight.

A really cool AI usage I came across recently is the Open Stable Audio project. It was trained on a corpus of licensed and open materials. It won't autogen a song like Suno, but does great at quick hit/instrument voice creation you could drop into a DAW. Also pretty good at Foley/ambient sounds.

you can actually just do The Aristocrats straight now

Top five Kurosawa films: 1. Yojimbo 2. Sanjuro 3. Ran 4. High & Low 5. Yojimbo, after watching Yojimbo and Sanjuro.

Making friends with the neighbors.

"Deputy Police Chief Krag Campbell said the police department plans to have officers arrive at 8 a.m. on Friday to ask people to leave the area. Then at 9 a.m., they’ll start throwing people’s belongings away." www.ktoo.org/2025/11/12/j...

Got to give my thoughts on public records requests today. This is after being completely ridiculous on public records as a private citizen before work. Truly blessed.

I've got a pipeline to transcribe/summarize/index/load into DB *every* #akleg meeting. In real motherfucking time. Corpora is coming along. Vector modelling is hard. I'm not the best tester. Shouts to akleg.gov IT for gracefully handling the audio file transfer.

Every Wednesday, the SHI indigenous science building downtown is holding community soup workshops with free meals for anyone experiencing food security. Tonight’s meal was Mountain Goat “Jánwu Stew”

Had another Ai thing at work today.

Let us all talk that shit, collectively. Amen.

• This account was created after Cox's appointment. • The handle is @AGofAlaska • He solely tweets on issues related to Alaskan Governance. • Promises work products of the office of the Attorney General in the Dept of Law. This account is now subject to the Alaska Public Records Act.

Such a weird CR. • goes to 01/30/26 • almost $1B in new spending via fund transfers. (Relatively small, not relatively 'clean') • No ACA EPTC protection but guaranteed ACA standalone vote(?!) • U.S. Marshall and Supreme Court security detail increase?

Morgan gets home in about a week, or ~3hrs before the 2003 transcripts are done. (I think this will run cost ~$12 in electricity...168hr * 250W @ $0.27KwH)

Transcription engine is humming. ~2000 #akleg meetings so far, right into the summarizer which runs 24/7 at 97% utilization. Building the vector processor right now. Goal is to have a holistic semantic vectorized model of an entire two year Alaska State Legislature before Thanksgiving.

If you are wondering about how the flight reductions are playing out for the major airlines, I recommend you follow @airlineflyer.net.

Just found out Fairbanks does not have cheap hydroelectric power shipped in from Juneau. Training an Ai to ask it to look at whether the Legislature discussed buttcheeks fifty years ago may have cost me $3.24.
