I'm with you here, the same slack-jawed knuckle-dragging Luddite. I'm not happy about the state of the world, but it is what it is. I am working on it alone and don't have access o…

I'm working on a complex multi-part 3D-printed product, and I needed some engineering input from LLMs. I use highest Gemini Pro reasoning levels, Fable, and K3 Max with everything …

Germany will be the first country to accept LLM-based humanoid robot citizens. Grep RULES.md, if not in the rules, `return 0`.

My rather simplistic take: Everybody have access to the same LLMs. Eventually if everybody is a "Nx engineer" (see PS below), then nobody is. Just a new baseline. Once you are at t…

Heads up, you forgot a link to your substack in this comment.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but 2/3 phones and smart watches are not Apple, and 7/8 consumer PCs are not Apple. 100% servers and industrial PCs are not Apple. 100% network equipment i…

I'm very happy with Onyx Boox, always getting a new one when visiting family for CNY. It's a pretty much stock Android, you have adb, a choice of readers, can do whatever Syncthing…

Opus 5 hates ChatGPT. My favorite pastime lately is to have Opus 5 compose some deep research on complicated topics, export it as PDF, start a new chat, attach a PDF and write some…

Perhaps you're right and we will naturally segment into people who embrace anthropomorphic LLMs, and people who prefer tables and checklists and charts. It's ok, we already split i…

I'll just never feel the same about "insights, advice and support" coming from a LLM vs. a real person. I know that perhaps in a blind A/B testing via text channels I probably won'…

It's more of a resignation I think? An overwhelming majority of people (on Earth, I don't mean the highly skewed US/EU citizens) are one accident away from total ruin. I don't stre…

> I’m 38 years old and I just had to ask my mom if I could borrow money [...] potentially spending the next 50 years without stable income Without stable income it might be more li…

You can run with --no-migrations ( https://pytest-django.readthedocs.io/en/latest/database.html... ) and default the test DB to be in memory (works at least for PG and SQLite) to m…

Or just env PYTHONASYNCIODEBUG=1.

You may :) One one side, like you mentioned, I come from the "sacred food" household where everything surrounding cooking and communal meal consumption was revered. On the other si…

Browsing is absolutely intolerable these days, with almost every website having a block screen, "we're checking your browser...", stuff like that. Lately I just close these website…

I'm sorry to be the one to make an obligatory comment: This is a terrible habit. Break it.

Then it just becomes a new baseline (everyone have access to the same LLMs), and recruiting moves up the philosophical ladder where human can add more value. What will it be? I don…

I wish. No, I just do it with my wife. We move a lot and we're not very social, so it is what it is. We just spread it over weeks or sometimes months (like with wines, we drink may…

Don't know if it qualifies as a hobby, but I "pursue flavor", not in chef sense but more in ready made products. Every now and then I buy 20-30: cartons of milk, volcanic wines, ob…

I lived in China for a while, and my wife is from China. We moved out almost 5 years ago, and she still was a bit freaked out about a picture of Xi Jinping's book next to Winnie Po…

Why ESP-NOW and not ESP-WIFI-MESH (that has routing, self status, retries, etc. builtin)?

At this point there's a room in the elephant.

I guess it also depends on the location. I loved running in Thailand, past the flowers and smiling people. I ran 2-3 times in Germany, past the broken bottles and narco bums crawli…
