I wanted to say I was ticking off all my dusty project ideas with LLMs one at a time. But in reality what I have been working the hardest so far is to help family in times of need, one situation after another for a few years by now. I'

I read these Starlink hope stories and get inspired now and then. But the truth is: I've bought a mini and standard, and on my mini I've got maybe a couple of good anecdotes in it. But the rest of it? The 97%? Pure fucking hustle

Lmao I could not believe this when I read it. Had to do my due diligence in wikipedia afterwards. It's legit! [1] [1] - Fires were almost a daily occurrence in Rome, and Crassus took advantage of the fact that Rome had no fire departm

You're absolutely right here and things have improved significantly at work after dropping this habit even if slightly.

Guilty as charged. In my mind, when I'm insecure about a response or if I don't have enough expertise in the topic at hand I end up running it through an LLM. Lately I've been really trying harder to keep my original ideas as

Nothing comes close to LLM transcription though. I just tried this. I said "globe key dictation, does this work?". Here's the transcription, verbatim: "Fucking dictation, does this work"

This got me thinking that the smaller these local first LLMs get - the more they're gonna looking the next bread and butter of app dev. Reminds me how Electron gained a lot of traction for making it easy to package prettier apps. At th

I really like the project and am eager to try and fit this into some of my workflows. However, this bothered me a bit: "All models run locally, no private data leaves your computer. And it's spicy to offer something for free that

I can relate to the feeling - this timing tracks for when most, if not all of my friends, all my co-workers (even the few who were resisting to adopt any AI toloing) flocked to just "Claude Code". Similar to how the masses gobbled

Don't you feel that sabbaticals kinda get you off the new tech wave anyway? I usually check in on news much more often when bored at slow work days. On the side, this might not have to do at all with your case, but the reason I persona

I don't like it either. But what is really guaranteeing other markets from flunking similarly later on? What's to say other jobs are going to be any better? Back in college, most of my peers would say "I'm not cut out fo

The worst part to me, by far, is having nothing more than a bunch of "smart" markdown files to show as my deliverables for the day. Sometimes this stacks for many days on end. Usually the bigger the knowledge gaps are, the more I

And what happens when the bucket of knowledge gets too big and starts to overflow? I feel as if, by delegating that process of building knowledge too much, I end up accruing knowledge gaps of my own. Funnily enough it mirrors the LLM/a

It is how I feel when I do it. And it certainly shows over time.

I've recently lazied out big time on a company project going down a similar rabbit hole. After having a burnout episode and dealing with sole caregiver woes in the family for the past year, I've had less and less energy to piece t

I've been a vim/nvim casual user for the past year or two, and I still feel as if I'm slightly less proficient in it for the amount of time that I put into it. I really need to get around to playing with it more. I just hope

Cool new toys! I like it. I've recently been thinking of branching into more water sports such as rowing, ocean swimming and the like to have a better shot at surviving out at sea. Hopefully I've gotten some mountains covered by n

It is so hot in Rio de Janeiro right now. We've had nothing but hazy, humid, UV-infested mornings. Can't wait to spend summer somewhere else. I miss the especially mild winter season we have.

For me personally, I generally dislike those neighborhoods around the south zone. I feel very unsafe (more so at nighttime) and I never get used to that smell. Also I find it a huge plus when beaches have no electricity nearby nor buildings

Toribash is awesome! I last checked it a year ago but it was still alive then [1]. Worth checking out still. People who were great at it back in the day were legitimately doing dark arts with the tools the game came with. I wonder if we&#x2
