    A robust open source profile is my single favorite hiring profile indicator. However, with the current state of things, if I get a whiff of AI-driven "contribution" it becomes an i…

    So far I've been impressed enough with the HW4 Teslas that I haven't had them do anything that I had to intervene to correct or prevent. It's pretty amazing at how well it handles …

    Very fun! There seems to be an exception when using the 10-roll function that might need some attention. index-BwvgcC1c.js:62 Uncaught TypeError: C is not a function at zi (index-B…

    "Applied theology with inadequate safety margins" might just be my favorite difficulty description ever.

    If you wouldn't give it to an enthusiastic junior dev, don't give it to AI, period.

    Hang out at a BJJ or MMA gym for a bit, and you'll find plenty. Peptides are really popular in combat sports circles, with good reason.

    I used a combo of low-dose retatrutide, tesamorelin, and ipamorelin and lost about 15lb over 45 days, including 60% of my visceral fat, and put on 4lb of muscle, per before-and-aft…

    It's actually very easy to cool in deserts, because low humidity makes it very easy to move heat into the ambient air. You have to contend against ambient temperatures, but that's …

    I've done a lot of exploratory work with Stable Diffusion LoRAs, and I actually do buy that there's some juice here, though it's almost certainly not nearly as good as other techni…

    Have you not seen Instagram lately? It's overwhelmingly clogged by AI content, much of it masquerading as real people.

    It's best to think of instruct-tuned LLMs as mirrors rather than intelligences. They generally reflect what you're putting into them, but they do it in a way that can easily masque…

    Remember that many people are heavily are happy-path biased. They see a good result once and say "that's it, ship it!" I'm sure they QA'd it, but QA was probably "does this give me…

    I guess mine hasn't updated yet. I'm a paid user, but I'll be migrating elsewhere. What a disappointment.

    Nova has been my favorite launcher for years, but after this, I may have to look elsewhere. Even as a paid user, I don't have much confidence that I'm not being sold off for ad exp…

    Technical analysis is the projection of future price data through analysis of past price data (usually for the purpose of trying to create trendlines or find "patterns"). Options p…

    This isn't technical analysis, this is an article on how to use the options market's price discovery mechanism to understand what the discovered price implies about the collective …

    The entire options market is built on this kind of analysis.

    Arc Raiders runs great. ProtonDB is the right thing to check to find out if any given game is gonna run on Linux. Fortunately, the success of the Steam Deck has more and more devs …

    "Local man uses AI to try slightly different casserole recipe" just doesn't have that click-driving wow factor.

    Yogurt's been a staple of mine ever since I started eating clean years ago. It's high in protein, can be mixed with all sorts of protein powder, fruit, nuts, and seeds, and is alwa…

    I appreciated the essay, GPTisms aside. The core concept is one that I've felt for a long while, but you articulated it more cleanly than I've been able to. I'd explained it as int…
