Awhile back I was on project A that got absorbed by the management of project B. Project b mandated that all engineers wore pagers. A guy on project A decided he didn't want to. The job he was hired for didn't require it when he

I'm confused about the "AI" part. Are vector databases, in themselves, AI? Are embeddings?

I tend to listen to synthwave while coding, as for me it has the right mix of energy + being able to ignore. I have felt my playlists have become a bit stale, and have been looking to add new stuff. Now it feels like this could just generat

I did this with my sister who was digital nomading in Argentina a few months ago. The easiest thing we found was for me to send her $3k via western union, which converted into an ungodly amount of pesos she picked up down there. It was supe

I run ads on amazon. I have around 40 campaigns running in the US, and a dozen more outside of the US. Adjusting the bids each day was becoming a chore, so I created a Chrome plugin that basically does the math for me and tells me what to b

My local grocery store chain (Giant) recently closed off 1 of the two main openings to every store, and the self-checkout is now very annoying about "put the item in the bagging area". All of their solutions seem to be very anti-

A door sensor, for when my kid was sleep walking. There are various door sensors out there on the market, but they all set off a siren. I just wanted something that would alert my phone and wake me up, in case she did it in the middle of t

Did this with both my kids. The first one, probably not until 8 months old. The second we did earlier, at like 6 months. Prior to sleep training the first one, I'd have to carry her around and sing to her for almost an hour before she&

I recently started a book on a similar subject - "The End of the World is Just the Beginning" by Peter Zeihan. It mainly discusses the coming demographic bust most places in the world will see, and how that will lead to a breakdow

I once committed my private AWS keys to a public github repo. A bot scooped it up nearly instantly and spun up many, many ec2 instances that were (probably) mining bitcoins. I received an automated email from Github telling me that I had co
