Went harder with this edit - accentuated color of corals, got a better sense of working with masks in Lightroom

Sad to see the Redang turtle harassment - they clearly look more peaceful and happy when left alone

Largest giant moray I’ve seen at Kapalai. Skin seems weathered with age, patterned like a leopard

I still can’t believe this is called a “sexy shrimp”

Thor amboinensis is a tiny shrimp (this one is <1.5 cm) living in symbiosis with sea anemones. Generally a good roommate but when food runs low, it snacks on anemone’s protective mucus.

Nature’s surprise #sexyshrimp

Did you know the pincers of banded coral shrimps are hairy? Well neither did I until the camera decided to focus on the pincers

A large fish with otherworldly appearances - bump head parrot fishes were among the largest fishes I’ve seen and having a school of them in Sipadan was magical

Who’s that Pokémon?— spoilers ahead — This is a large fish found in waters of Sipadan. An otherworldly appearance. Some say it is ugly. Despite its appearance (and being a large fish), it is actually docile - no harm to humans :) its teeth does leave a distinct mark on corals though This is the bumphead parrot fish, shot in Sipadan, Malaysia in 2025 on Canon G7X Mark II@insta360mysg @insta360#Insta360X5 #Insta360AcePro2 #Insta360 #Insta360mysg #DiveandChill

#AI assisted #prototyping featuring @Replit - how far did a 1-month $50+ experiment go?
TLDR: it works with guidance and some guardrails but does risk going off the rails easily

Replit for rapid prototyping as a solo dev

I spent about $50 in the past month alone. Was it worth it?

Recently saw a demo for an AI augmented video creation pitched as #edutech. But true craftsmanship looks like below, and often features charisma of creators/educators-as-the-voice (and face), not some random AI person
