Reminder that last year I made an iPhone app that always points at the centre of the Milky Way

It peaked at 87 in the US App Store free apps chart (Travel category) haha

Here’s what Ars Technica said about it

New app always points to the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy
iPhone compass app made with AI assistance locates the heart of the Milky Way.

Could do with a AI model pricing site a little like llm-prices.com but with three dimensions

- cost per token
- tokens per second
- IQ

(All aggregates of underlying detailed measures)

Any pointers?

some personal lore

- my first job
- word processing for a guy down the road
- many years later I learn he was an actual drug smuggler, no kidding
- his company was a front

- what didn’t james bond get blown up
- no that was uh bames jond

do that in the first 30 secs of the new movie, never mention it again. Job done
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

I just watched and loved that movie too!

And A Short Hike was so fun, also my kids first game she played all the way through.

I think it's the same guy as adamgryu.itch.io/pumpkin-carver which was a hit for us. Tis the season.
Some wholesome media

Cyborgs is us being augmented with implants or devices we wear.
