N=2. My Inspiron 9300 Dell laptop from 2005 still works fine, although 32bit Windows 7 with 2GB of ram without an SSD makes it painfully slow by today's standards. In addition, I g…

I've done a lot of match aggregation in dota2 using stratz / opendota. It's a lot of fun and it will definitely make you a better programmer given how much data there is.

Would using Stable Diffusion Image to Image with a low noise ratio disable most steganographic techniques? I imagine the pixels would be scattered enough to erase most embeddings. …

Good movie, time to rewatch

I don't know much about gambling but is it not common to set for yourself max bets so your pool of cash doesn't deplete like you do when buying stocks or trading options so you can…

Drone armies will prevent such things this time around though.

I use CC/Codex/Cursor. CC is mostly my default for large tasks / features (ex. Plan > execute plan ) Biggest gripe with Claude Code is that it is painfully slow relative to the oth…

Not a YEC, but you, the sentient being made in God's image, don't join a MineCraft world that is still a molten ball of lava/magma with no solid surface.

Indeed, although today I got on a plane at LaGuardia and they made me check my carry on at the gate even though there was plenty of space in the overhead bins ( 60% capacity flight…

I do this kind of parallelism with a little merge request tool I slopped together. I spin up multiple small agents and assign them specific code review tasks (security, coding stan…

Indeed, how could it not have been more obvious than when Biden made it illegal for the railroad workers to strike in Dec. 2022. The sides are the same when it comes to an actual t…

I love a good cathartic rant

I don't recall Alaska being particularly bad when I went in July. The mosquitoes I did encounter were huge though.

n=1, been lifting weights for 25 years and lost 40 lbs on Zepbound and counting. I can still do my routines easily with no issues. My muscles look slightly smaller I think, but may…

Mounjaro/Zepbound is $450 a month without insurance (assuming you aren't on the starter dose through some third party, but ultimately LillyDirect.) n=1, Insurance price is $25 a mo…

What's frustrating is that a lot of these keys were generated a long time ago with a small amount of GCP services that they could connect to. (Ex. Firebase remote config, firestore…

Is it wishful thinking for Microsoft to reflect on their Windows 11 UX mistakes and turn around like Chilis did?

I'm curious as to what your thought process is for suggesting "the app" (not sure what app you are referring to) as an alternative for someone who essentially rage quits when they …
