Raspberries are cool for tinkering with hardware, learning how to write kernel drivers etc. But I think this is how maybe 30% of Raspberries are used. People do uncanny things to t…

At this point it's easier to just write the code. If my prompt is to be longer than the code produced, why bother with explaining that to LLM?

I used to code at night with a kerosene lamp sitting on my desk. I love the light spectrum of a live fire. "Portable" (they couldn't even fit in a pocket) CD players were the worst…

What other social interactions are needed more than: "One flat white to go, please", and "Thank you"? Asking genuinely, because I don't know what else I can say.

Ironically, we chose a work style that requires maintaining prolonged focus, which sucks without meds (especially when dealing with boring tasks).

Nice, but what does it mean? Are you gonna replace a group of specialists in their fields with prompts to LLM?

Can't tell what would be the best case (pun intended) for you, depends on the language you use. Yes, it will eventually end up as some sort of look-up table, though switch statemen…

I really enjoy doing the dishes now that the dishwasher does ~100% percent of the work.

So... Mindless coding is it? The best part of coding is doing research and learning. Coding, for the pure sake of finishing the project as soon as possible with the least involveme…

At least when reading a human-made material you can spot author's uncertainty in some topics. Usually, when someone doesn't have knowledge of something, he doesn't try to describe …

I've scored pretty high on the "inattentive scale", but got only a few points on the "hyperactive" one. I was told that both scales must be high to be diagnosed with ADHD.

Depends. If you are a really recognisable persona and you just log out one day, then expect a bunch of psycho-fan creeps looking for you in the real world.
