I'm royally surprised and honored by the book Master Version 1.1 being shortlisted for the Lithuanian Book of the Year 2024 award. It feels good when your work gets recognition. #BookSky ๐๐๐ช #thriller #scifibook #kindleunlimited
It should be the opposite - it's the last Tetris piece moving to its final destination!
Finished Extremophile by Ian Green. It took me some time but it was was extrem(moph)ely entertaining. I'd like to see a movie now. www.ianthegreen.com @ianthegreen.bsky.social

The statue of Pavlov, famous for making dogs salivate by ringing a bell, was dismantled in Kyiv. In my book Master Version 1.1, Pavlov's great-grandson rings a bell too, but his experiments are even more sinister.

Interestingly, when I wrote the book, no such LEGO set existedโit was only released after I finished writing. I can now proudly say that, like many sci-fi writers, I managed to predict the future! #BookSky๐๐๐ช#thrillerbook #kindleunlimited #scifibook #writerslife
In my near-future sci-fi book, the main character gets a LEGO Star Wars C-3PO set to enhance his skills with a newly acquired robotic arm.

I made a video trailer for my book Master Version 1.1 #BookSky๐๐๐ช#thriller #kindleunlimited #scifi #midjourney #kling #neuralink
I wonder what the barcode scanner would show. #winter #Lithuania
I agree; it's a very nice idea. After all, generating new media and many other forms of entertainment would heavily employ a random number generator, so why not go right to the core?
Actually, the fact that Mal was bored was a bit sad. I understand that playing games like Tetris wouldn't make sense for him, but maybe he could have some favorite shows and think of new versions? For instance, merging 'Friends' with 'Star Wars' could be quite entertaining.
If it were unlimited, he couldn't win at all. However, he does win sometimes: twenty-four wins against 3.7 billion losses. So, I did some math and found that the range is approximately 0-150 million. I'm not sure why such a range was chosen, but there, now I can sleep. #BookSky ๐๐ช
I am reading 'Mal Goes to War' by Edward Ashton @edashtonwriting.bsky.social and enjoying every page. Mal, the main character, guesses numbers generated by a random number generator for entertainment. Up to the point I've read, there is no information about the range of numbers the RNG uses.

I found out about a phenomenon called seiches or harbor oscillations today. Seiches are long-period standing oscillations in an enclosed basin or in a locally isolated part of a basin. Ship traffic is canceled in Klaipฤda port because of this.
