I&#39;ve of course experimented with the idea myself - asking an LLM for a blog post on a particular topic - and the results were okay, but it wasn&#39;t my &#34;voice&#34;. I even went back and said &#34;read these blog posts I wrote previous to get a flavor of my style&#34; and it was better but still lacking. And repeating this long term you end up eating your own tail.<br/><br/>At best I think it can come up with good outlines that I may or may not end up using, but decent blogs? Not really. 2026-07-11T15:23:55Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs085gp0x2d8u753fu2zq0zf4zzk0e5zfwc2j7uf4vqeg84jvy3ftczyqkf25nu64eryjksvn50grmf9ms4h44wfatm57f7hqeqa5ej8qh5zq59qa5 Since both myself and hellNbak were laid off recently, it seems we both have decided to make sure various coding side projects from the past year or so have been brought forward - especially hellNbak.

It started in Oklahoma where I grew up, and simply expanded from there. Plenty of odd stories here and there in the blog.

It is the best/worse kid’s book ever. Very dark. My granddaughter Evie waddled over and handed it to me, saying “A…A…A…”. It’s her fave book. “F is for Facehugger. You don’t want it to give you a hug!”<br/><br/>Best part of this is one of Evie’s middle names is Ripley (not a joke). Her first name is after a relative but shortened to Evie because of the strong female character from “V for Vendetta”. Her birthday is Halloween, almost as cool as if she’d been born on November 5th.<br/><br/>#RememberRemember #ProudGrandpa<br/> <img src="https://rigor-mortis.nmrc.org/system/media_attachments/files/114/016/771/543/859/958/original/c4d55f94ea3d9459.jpeg"> <br/> 2025-02-17T02:04:29Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs26y6etg2tafn54leq0udnkgl7dyjz3wrf0mx40h93r3q6kgmjzygzyqkf25nu64eryjksvn50grmf9ms4h44wfatm57f7hqeqa5ej8qh5zll5q5g In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsds7tmqdlsxallxywc3gxmf462kqn7ahj8wyppxpsp2xklejp0nvq55spvk'>nevent1q…spvk</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>SunOS was pseudo closed source, in that of an established customer could purchase a copy.
