Last evening I was fortunate to see the greatest Ukrainian band (at least according to my wife) Okean Elzy perform live in Sofia. Great band with amazing energy!

Вече 8 години живея в "зелена зона" (става синя скоро) и не е някаква голяма драма, та не ги разбирам много-много хората, които оревават света за зоните.

Да, би било добре парите от платеното паркиране да отиват за ремонт на улиците и тротоарите, но за мен е по-важно че поне се намерит места сега.

Винаги ми е било забавно, че хем се оплакваме все колко сме бедни, хем трите най-продавани марки коли втора ръка в БГ са:

- Мерцедес
- БМВ
- Ауди

И вероятно половината са с газови уредби...

One of the most problematic aspects of the rise of LLMs... Much of this AI generated content is pretty bad, so I'm curious how will the reduced amount of human-created content affect the training of LLMs going forward.

Thanks to everyone who thought of me yesterday! All those birthday wishes helped make the day feel extra special! Love you all!

Makes those 6 documentary movies in 7 days. 😁

Another small milestone is right around the corner...

Bought 3 pairs of sneakers in August for the upcoming autumn (at this point I was down to 0 non-torn sneakers in some way), but it seems I wasn’t particularly inventive with the colors. 😂

Цяла София е в такива плакати - зад тях стоят “големи патриоти” като Недялко от ПИК… Надявах се копейките да се кротнат и да захапят някоя друга тема, но явно цирка ще продължава до последно…

Често съм шокиран от грешките (правописни, пунктуационни, граматически и т.н.), които виждам в статиите на издания като Дневник и Медиапул. (снимката е от Дневник) Толкова ли е трудно да ползват spell-checker поне?

That was a bit surprising even to me... 😅

10 years ago. Me at peak #NewBalance obsession. Still my favorite sneaker brand, although I’m not nearly as loyal to them as I used to be in the past.

Make that valuation $47B! What a wild opening day!

Hamburg’s fish market. 7:30 am on a Sunday morning. I did not see this coming. 😁

Kudos to Chelsea, but does anyone care about the FIFA Club World Cup?

If there was ever a super pointless tournament created just for the sake of money that's a probably a pretty strong contender....

I've noticed that Max has become HBO Max officially today! A little bit of sanity is restored in the world.

What a sad day for Grigor Dimitrov... He played one of the best matches of his career against the world no. 1, was leading 2:0 and playing pretty good in the 3rd set and then he got seriously injured. Seeing Grigor cry in the end of the match was really touching and so so sad...
July 7, 2025 at 8:02 PM
He still got game! 🇧🇬
