Hello there!I used to be a full time VFX artist working as compositor, 3D artist, producer and supervisor.
These days I am mostly home-bound due to health reasons, so my focus is mostly on tending to my family as the resident cook and doing the occasional remote work for film and TV projects.
You can find my work history on IMDB or LinkedIn and I do have a rather old showreel on Vimeo. Apart from that, this is my online home. Feel free to get in touch via email or on Micro.blog.
Today‘s lunch: Fried potatoes, roasted cauliflower, roasted green beans, topped with a fried egg.

I’m a father and my wife runs a child daycare. Yet, I still can’t abide crying children.
My LLM codegen workflow atm | Harper Reed’s Blog
I have been building so many small products using LLMs. It has been fun, and useful. However, there are pitfalls that can waste so much time. A while back a friend asked me how I was using LLMs to write software. I thought “oh boy. how much time do you have!” and thus this post.
Some good advice in there for „vibe coding“ in a more controlled manner.
I‘m thinking Maultaschen with a roasted fennel, cucumber salad glazed with a honey mustard dressing for today’s lunch.

Trump briefly considered firing Waltz over the episode, more angered by the fact that Waltz had the number of Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor of the Atlantic – a magazine he despises – than the fact that the military operation discussion took place on an unclassified system such as Signal.
If true, that tracks.
Testing scheduled posts. This should go live at 6pm German time.
Dictators always lie about what they’ve done, but are often quite plain about what they want to do.
Kasparov got it right there.
Maybe al forno instead of alla panna. Everything is better with a golden brown cheese topping.
Tesla‘s model lineup spells S,3,X,Y or sexy. Just in case anyone didn’t know yet. Real mature.
I’m thinking tortellini alla panna for lunch.

Daring Fireball: The Spectacle of Incompetence
Stupidity and ignorance as a governing style. That’s it. They are exactly who they claim they are, and in private speak how they do in public. There is no secret plan.
Inside the Mind of Claude: How Large Language Models Actually “Think”
This issue persists even in newer models like Claude 3.7 Sonnet, which can generate long “chain of thought” explanations. In some cases, these are faithful, reflecting real internal computation. But in harder problems—like estimating the cosine of a large number—Claude may generate confident reasoning steps without performing the actual calculation. Researchers describe this behavior as a form of philosophical “bullshitting”: generating plausible reasoning without concern for truth.
Sounds like me. I’m also bullshitting my way through life.
We had a really nice Sunday dinner. Potatoes fluffed with parsley and butter, cauliflower and white asparagus. Topped with some honey glazed ham and loads of homemade hollandaise sauce.

Micro.social is shaping up to be a really great Micro.blog client. @gregmorris does a great job. Go on and support his efforts by trying it out. And if you like it, give him a tip.
I had a terrible coding day yesterday but seeing people use @microsocial features makes me really proud. Incase you missed it - Locations!
I’ve been using locations in a couple of posts and they work great. Makes me remember the FourSquare days. 😁
Universität Heidelberg. 📍
Heute war Nierenforum in der Uniklinik Heidelberg. Es gab wieder einige sehr interessante Vorträge. Aber je mehr ich über die Prozedur erfahre um so mehr bin ich skeptisch ob ich mir das wirklich antun möchte.
The Superman Sneak Peak looks great. They really captured having a pup that wants to play. However, I wonder how they will balance the story with that many supporting heroes/villains.
Hmm…
Off to visit a local pasta factory!
