Updates from the bridge:

• Been meaning to take more photos as Spring has started, added some of them to steve.photo

• Did a lot of experimenting with keystroke dynamics as a way to authenticate human written content, but unfortunately I don’t think it will work out in the end. There were too many practical holes, like someone could just type out by hand what an AI created. Originally I was thinking it could be helpful for areas like education, to help keep the discipline of writing alive. Now I’m coming to terms that there’s not a lot we can do to stop people from using AI in these applications. Rather, time is better spent showing people why writing is a discipline that should be respected.

• Had a small hiatus from my progress in the Rust book but plan to get back into it this week. I will not give up this time lol

• Wanted to track my tea shipments, so I built something I’ve wanted for a long time: a package tracker.

• Tea I’ve been trying has been all over the place, but of course the pu’er has been probably some of my favorite. Second might be some oolong and black teas.

• Will probably do a blog post on kagi.com soon; known about them forever but just now really seeing the value they bring to the ecosystem. Great stuff.

Until next time 🫡
