I've just been using LLMs (specifically DuckDuckGo's chat) to help find research and articles to dive into. I don't really see the point of asking LLMs to summarize something for me when I can just read about it myself. I wil

My last laptop was a used 2012 T530. My current is a used M1 MBP Pro with 16GB of ram. I thought this was all I was ever going to need, but wanting to run really nice models locally has me thinking about upgrading. Although, part of me want

Oh hi! I'm a huge fan of your work! I've watched so many videos breaking down Doki Doki Literature Club. Thank you for all that you do.

The Wii is very moddable. I've modded my Wii in the past just for playing modded versions of Super Smash Brother Melee (mainly training packs, like flashing a red light when I miss an L-cancel).

I'm a fan of ambient and instrumental hip hop for programming. My personal favorites are pretty much anything by Nujabes (including the soundtracks for Samurai Champloo), Fat Jon, and DJ Okawari. I also like some classic albums in the

Thank you for mentioning this, it was the first thing I thought of in this conversation thread!

Another way to frame trade deficit (sometimes) is using the phrase "investment surplus". Many top economies have trade deficits. China is a unique example that goes against that, although I believe China is trying to have their po

If you drive a truck because you like trucks, then a Cybertruck works. If you drive a truck because you need a truck, then Cybertrucks don't really work. That being said, I think a lot of people are in the first category. The second ca

Fastmail is awesome! I've been a happy user for a long time. Everything just works. The UI is great, nothing gets in my way. I'm a fan of the randomly generated emails as well. That service integrates with 1Password too.

I'm sorry that you are going through this. I haven't gone through something similar, but I think something that helped me out the 2nd time I looked for a job was how valued work experience is. As a new grad, personal projects are

Oh wow this looks really awesome! I'll have to check it out. I unfortunately primarily use Firefox, but still this is great. I've manually tried to keep track of bookmarks via org, but of course I'll always forget to update i

I highly recommend just trying out org-mode and seeing what works best for you. There are so many things built into org-mode and so many tools built around org-mode that you'll be able to find something that feels comfortable. My other

I also have a bunch of different org files for work and personal use. For example, I have a file called tracker.org that is just for recurring habits/tasks that I set up with org-schedule. I've thought about writing up a blog post

I've been using Org Mode for organizing my life in plain text for the past 10 years now. Beorg on iOS [0] makes it great. I've also started using things like org-ql [1] and org-super-agenda [2] to make me even more productive. I a

When I start working on a ticket I actually start writing up a PR early on. As I figure out my manual testing, I'll write out the steps that I took in my PR. I've found that writing it out as I go does two things: 1) It makes it e

I still use Last.fm! I've had it since 2008. It's really cool seeing how my music taste has changed, and seeing what I've come back to over and over again. When I used to be much more active in online music communities I woul

I'm a huge fan of Majuular, these videos are amazing. I like that he dives deeply into the history behind each game as well - like the company, Richard Garriott (Lord British), etc. His other videos on other games are great as well!

My apologies, I should've been more clear! The scam was that this service is actually free provided by AOL. The grandparents shouldn't have ever been charged, they just ended up finding scammers that actually knew how to fix the i

My apologies, I should've been clear! AOL doesn't charge for any helpdesk service at all. It explicitly says on their website that all helpdesk services are free and they'll never charge you. The scam was that the scammers ha

My wife's grandparents use and pay for AOL. I think they pay for a premium package? All I know is that it handles their internet, web browsing, and email. One day they had issues setting it up, so they call a help line. They ended up b

It sounds to me you're describing the feeling of being content, rather than having the least taste. I prefer to look at things that way rather than not having taste. Some people really enjoy $600 headphones, while others don't rea

I absolutely agree. If you look at my github, you might think I don't program all that much. If you look at my ~/Code folder on my PC, you might think I program too much. Tinkering with fun little projects has made me a better pro

I'm reading a blog because I'm interested in the voice a writer has. If I'm finding that voice boring, I'll stop reading - whether or not AI was used. The generic AI voice, and by that I mean very little prompting to add

Yes, but in this case the blazers head office said they were going to search for a coach, and they also took input from Dame on what coaches he thought would be good for the team. They didn't do any search at all, and just went straigh

The story behind how Chauncey got his coaching job is kind of sketchy as well! The blazers didn't really listen to Dame at all, and the GM has known Chauncey for more than 30 years. At the time of Chauncey being hired, his only coachin

Deleting from the text file and re-running the nix init sounds very, very enticing. I may check this out! Thank you for your response!
