Sunrise over Palo Alto, CA * Nov 27, 2024 |
It's time for a little Rest & Relaxation for those of us laboring on the SearchResearch Rancho.
I'm taking the next two weeks off to go on one of those trips that you've been planning for a long time... one that is finally becoming a reality. I'll share some details after I get back, but in the meantime, SRS will be quiet until mid-December when we'll pick up the Challenges one more time.
Hope you all have a restful and relaxing couple of weeks while I'm wandering around the planet, looking for ever more exciting SearchResearch Challenges. For US folks: Happy Thanksgiving!
Best wishes for a peaceful first few weeks of December. See you back here around December 18.
As always, Keep Searching... it's a big and curious world out there.
-- Dan
P.S. Below: The way I imagine the SearchResearch Rancho, heavily influenced by the old Californio Ranchos... Thanks to Gemini for this vision of the [SearchResearch Californio Rancho in plein air style]. I assume there's WiFi here...
Super Happy for you, Dr. Russell
ReplyDeleteEnjoy that trip! And see you again a week before Christmas 🎄
Best wishes for everyday 🙏
Lovely Rancho!

could be 20+ days -
"A fortnight is a unit of time equal to 14 days (two weeks). The word derives from the Old English term fēowertīene niht, meaning "fourteen nights" (or "fourteen days", since the Anglo-Saxons counted by nights)."

Thank you for letting us know about your break. It's important to take time for yourself to recharge and come back with even more creative energy. I want to express my gratitude for all the challenges you've provided over the years. They've helped me learn and grow so much. I look forward to your return and whatever new content you have in store for us.
ReplyDeletethought I would give Gemini a go with the 'rancho'
ReplyDeletetheme - the Imagen 3 results were a bit different…
but I like the poppies.
WiFi seems available in the last one - was looking for Star Link -
the surveillance drones seem ubiquitous - can't explain the headless cow or dirt scuba diver - mysteries of AI/poor prompts
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
