Aaaaaargh a fucking AI did translate this from English to German when I look at it. Horrible translation. Eine freundliche Distribution. Ok, fuck yes, if it is friendly, does it say good morning and good night? And ask me how I am? "Es

Wow, I just got GPT-5. Tried to continue the discussion of my 3D print problems with it (which I started with 4o). In comparison GPT-5 is an entitled prick trying to gaslight me into following what it wants. Can I have 4o back?

What a horrible video is this, with the robotic translated AI voiceover? Update: Ah, weird, if I watch the non-embedded one on youtube it is the original in English with normal sound. It's the one embedded on his web site which has AI

Years ago, I was maintaining a huge XML->XML transformation in XSLT. The input format was the XML based config file of the system, that was created by the configuration tool. Output was a XML that has the same information in a way that i

Yep. WSL and WSL2 are great. I used Windows with WSL, upgrade to WSL2 then noticed I don't need the "Windows" part of the system anymore and WSL2 cross-boundary file access is slow, so I deleted Windows and finally installed

Haha, the old Java GUI builders in the 90s did something like this. You could either drag around the window (and the code would be updated) or modify the code (within limits) and it would parse it into the GUI builder. Who's old enough

I wonder how it would compare to the floor plan my vacuum robot creates every time it is working. Or whether my Neato's floor plans are anywhere near realistic. Or what Neato does with all these floor plans on their servers ...
