Thanks! Will definitely look into it. I'm currently grinding Math Academy to fix my math deficiencies so I can understand LLMs.

Quite a lot of people are automating the SDLC now and are looking at dark factory solutions.

Yea, also the programs are too different. My psychology bachelor felt like a tea party. My computer science master was 60 hours per week during the hardest courses (which were supposed to go for 20 hours per week - so I could only do one co

I'm a fan of the iPhone Mini as well. It turns out though, I'm a bigger fan of USB-C.

Yea they do actually, and I'm not telling you about them as they are not public. They are personal for me. -- But let me put it this way: when LLMs weren't really a thing, I made a Tinder auto swiper. It was about 4 years ago. I t

I see, *I get it now*. In my opinion it's more elegant than emphasizing with capital letters.

by mettamage 2mo ago
I don't get it though. If you want to create emphasis why not use asterisks? Ha! HN makes it italic. I forgot that.

Sure, I'd do it. One bad month tops. I can take that.

by mettamage 2mo ago
It does though. It teaches you that closed source is still open source in many many ways. Especially when you have something like Ghidra or IDA Pro. Nowadays this is even more true because LLMs can speed up retrieval of missing knowledge wa

Have any studies been done on this particular psychedelic? I'm curious.

Many SWE teams don't care about security. Even talking about security annoys them. I get it though. I've had offensive security training at uni (VUSEC Amsterdam). It's a way different type of thinking.

I think you mean the US version of things. But here is my favorite from the Kruidvat in NL [1]. Time released melatonin works a bit better for me. [1] https://www.kruidvat.nl/shiepz-melatonine-time-release-0-1mg...

I've been supplementing for almost 2 years. It still works. I unfortunately need a lifetime supply. I almost take it every day. So 0.3 mg * 300 days * 100 years = 9 grams of melatonin. I don't expect to live 100 years but it'

US melatonin measured dosage can be 4x as much as what is reported [1, 2]. Have you never looked into stuff like this? It's all over social media and the claims are relatively easy to verify. I'm asking because I need to know if I
