My solution has been to redirect the YouTube home page to the subscriptions page. This prevents me from watching recommendations. I also created a new YouTube account (note this doesn’t require you to create a new Google account), and manua

Huh, I didn’t think of ZQ (to leave an empty commit message) to cancel the commit. I always use :cq (which exits vim with an error status)

Only 130 US homes’ annual power consumption to train GPT-3 is surprisingly small to me, considering it only needs to be done once.

Wiktionary[1] says it’s “probably ultimately from Hokkien Chinese 膎汁 (kê-chiap, “fish sauce”)”. So not a million miles off? [1]: https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/ketchup

It’s worth noting that, while the big 3 providers do gouge for egress, they typically also have superior network performance and reliability. This is especially true when comparing against budget options like Hetzner.

I have lived in non-grid cities all my life, but my mental map always approximates things as a grid. I occasionally then get really confused because there’s a square with five sides, or three, because roads aren’t straight or perpendicular

Where Google Flights falls flat is when you want to search to/from multiple airports not on the same city. Especially here in the UK, I’m happy flying from basically any airport in the country, as I’d much rather drive/get a train
