My wife is doing online classes for fun, and is using Deep Research to help her find citations and sources, then using 4.5 and the edit feature to get a tone that sounds like her and not at all like ChatGPT. She says she can accomplish in a

If you want it cold, just put your datacenter in Antarctica. Be right back, getting my YCombinator pitch deck ready.

Last I tried it their hybrid torrent implementation was very broken and would fail half the time.

Yeah it’s truly astonishing how bright the sun is when you start trying to recreate it at home. But my room is brighter inside than an overcast winter day outside! That was my goal, and it’s substantially improved my mood. I’d do a write up

I’m still experimenting, but right now it’s 28 bulbs attached to my ceiling fan with some 7-way splitters (the ceiling fan is an old one that supports 4 100W bulbs), two big corn bulbs, one 100W and one 250W, I’m still trying to figure out

Real watts. I’m working on getting more. I only use it in the winter when I’d be running a space heater anyway. So I’m not wasting electricity I’m just making a useful byproduct.

I changed my home office to my “luminarium” where I’m using about 700W of LED bulbs to get my lux to around 10,000. It’s a necessity that I use light mode, it’s impossible to see dark mode. Also it effectively cured my SAD.

Dead Cells uses procedural generation but does it in bespoke chunks, so while a level is different it’ll have chunks that are determined fun and then glued together by the procedural algorithm.

That’s because you aren’t 12 years old. Ryan George (a YouTuber) made a video where he checked out the metaverse and it was basically exclusively filled with children. He played metaverse worlds for around 5 hours straight and didn’t meet a

I wouldn’t have joined a year ago but it sounds like it’d be a good culture fit now. They can hire good software engineers who live in the middle of the country and happen to be Republican.

From what I’ve heard, his story is rather interesting. He had books with knights and medieval imagery, but couldn’t read or speak English, so he’d make up his own stories. I think that’s part of why the Souls games (and later Elden Ring) ha

My wife and I just parental lock each other’s phones. Sure we’ll unlock it if the other one asks for it but it does wonders. Super simple. Everything in this world is simpler if someone loves and cares about your wellbeing.

Authorization policy vs authorization filters in a .NET API. It’s not something I’ve used before and wanted permissive policies (the db to check if you have OR permissions vs AND) and just attaching attributes so the dev can see at a glance

The thing is this feeling always happens to be “stop things right at the point that I grew up in”. The Amish felt similarly in the 1800s which is why they cut their beards in a way so as not to be confused with Continental soldiers despite

My interest was piqued and I’ve been trying ChatGPT Pro for the last week. It’s interesting and the deep research did a pretty good job of outlining a strategy for a very niche multiplayer turn based game I’ve been playing. But this article

This is an evil sentiment and would destroy the modern world.

I don’t know, I read a Pakistan Today article where a doctor said cousin marriage is no big deal as it “only” causes defects in 2% of cases. Interestingly, this article is now impossible to find on Google. You can find a dozen news articles

I feel you, I had this problem when I worked making marketing websites for a really scummy company and realized I wasn’t making the world a better place. I got burnt out. I got a new job, I do websites and CRUD apps still, but it’s in servi

A large part of what enables huge multinational companies like Apple to be successful and resist stuff like this is a friendly administration and threats by the largest economy in the world. Apple is being sufficiently friendly with the cur

I guess I’ll just keep working in construction. The arrogance of people who think the value of most human work is done hunched over a computer is staggering.

Really? Because I’m using ChatGPT Deep Research and it feels revolutionary in the quality of the data it’s able to output.

Interesting. So it sounds like I need to get into the market and charge half as much and steal all of his customers. These things eventually always end up as a Red Queen’s race, where you have to run as fast as you can to stay in the same p

I just asked the first question to O1 Pro, it thought for 48 seconds and messed up. It told me to fill the 12 liter jug then pour that into the 6 liter jug. I then scolded it and told it I was going to use Deepseek R1 because it did a bette

I think for $6000 you can run an EPYC setup. But the token/sec is going to be objectively slower than the Macs. What you gain on them is speed. I read this [0] on X earlier today which seems like a good guide on how to get yourself up

I'm playing single player games via Parsec and the latency feels fine. Moonlight is tolerable but Steam streaming feels terrible for some strange reason. This is running two Wifi 6 devices so nothing is even wired. I often use a contro

Marc Andreesen said in an interview he was told to not invest in AI startups by people in government because the government was going to decide which companies were allowed to research and develop AI and nobody else. Does this certification

Those signs are all over Georgia and it absolutely wigged out my Toyota’s sensor that scans speed limit signs. For 3 hours the car thought the speed limit was 40mph while I was going 85.

Because the goal isn’t the actual goal. Which is why James Damore lost his job and created an uproar when he suggested very reasonable steps to achieving more diversity. The engineer problem solving mindset is very vociferously opposed in t
