And yet, for some reason, in our system it seems that narcissism is almost a prerequisite to becoming the leader of large publicly traded companies or indeed an entire nation.

TRICKS

How’s this compare against Moonlight?

there’s no waste to get rid of etc

Yeah we breathe it in and then go in the ground so it’s pretty good.

Code reviews take up a lot of time, and if I know a lot of code in a review is AI generated I feel like I’m obliged to go through it with greater rigour, making it take up more time. LLM code is unaware of fundamental things such as quirks due to tech debt and existing conventions. It’s not great.

I thought this was meanwhileongrad when I read the first line, then I read the second and realized it was NCD. Well played, OP, well played.

Rust is actually really nice, give it a go!

Clickbait title for a video making the point that the effects of raytracing are too subtle and not worth the performance trade-off.

It’s fine to fast for a couple days as long as you keep your electrolytes up and drink lots of water.

What about imports?

If I told you that I had ten percent guaranteed return on an investment you’d want in too.

People don’t go out at 3am to find a steak, but they do that for sugar.

This really bears repeating. It’s impossible to binge eat a steak, but once I start on a pack of Oreos I’ll eat the entire thing.

Did Synology forget what the I in RAID is?

no take only throw

You’ll learn nuance one day, friend. Don’t give up and keep reading about things.

My four year old low-end test device running Android had its assistant switched out from Google Assistant to Gemini. I was very surprised since I’d assumed that the vendor had stopped supporting it since it was so cheap, but it updated anyway.

Why are you being downvoted for this? In stock devices the user has no way to even start looking at what is being run. All you can do is trust the manufacturer.

They are TOO good

I love to bake and I love baked goods. Thankfully, I’m not highly food motivated, but I cannot walk past a croissant and not want one. Even thinking about one now gives me a familiar pang, but I can recognize that for what it is now.

I’ve not measured my sauna endurance, and did not realize that being in good metabolic health would improve that. I’ll see how long I last next time I’m in a sauna!

Thank you for sharing, I’m glad to know I’m not the only one that feels like this sometimes. I have a breath ketone meter that helps keep me on track; I’m not sure how accurate it is, but it’s very consistent. If you haven’t tried one maybe give it a go, mine wasn’t too expensive. I used to wear a continuous glucose monitor, but that’s more expensive and a lot more work.

Like a degenerate I kept putting food into my delivery app, looking at it, looking at different options

This is an oddly specific shared experience but I know how this feels too. It’s sad that our gig economy tech is enabling our compulsions for food that has been deliberately engineered to make us want more of it at all times.

Some cheese on top of that and you have a feast.
