A famous CS teacher from NJU in China said something like this: If you do not use AI, you should leave the school now.

In my experience, if you want to use all Immich ML features fluently, the device fee is much more expensive than the Google subscription fee. I think there is only one metric that can attract people, which is privacy.

New comment by humanlity in "r/programming bans all discussion of LLM programming"

I think good content is generated by deep thought, not by repeating what an LLM says

IMHO, Mitchell Hashimoto[^1] is a good example for the community to learn how to cooperate with modern LLMs.

The use of incense to remember ancestors was spread widely across Asia by Confucianism. Chopsticks look quite similar to incense sticks, so it makes common sense to have this tradition.

Sharing my beloved ancient Chinese poem

山坡羊·潼关怀古张养浩

峰峦如聚，波涛如怒，山河表里潼关路。望西都，意踌躇。伤心秦汉经行处，宫阙万间都做了土。兴，百姓苦；亡，百姓苦。

Tune: “Sheep on the Hillside” —Tong Pass

Zhang Yanghao

Translated by Wayne Schlepp

Peaks as if massed,

Waves that look angry,

Along the mountains and the river lies the road to Tong Pass.

I look to the West Capital,

My thoughts unsettled.

Here, where the Qin and Han armies passed, I lament

The ten thousand palaces, all turned to dust.

Kingdoms rise,

The people suffer;

Kingdoms fall,

The people suffer.

> i.e. a way that I could testbed different runs without polluting history of both Git and Action runs.

How about writing a separate repo and testing it separately

In my mind, there are two types of businesses in the world: one is not particularly challenging but rather trivial, and the other is very high-tech.

Today, LLMs make the first type of business much harder.

Somehow, I'm starting to agree with Russia's reason for launching the war because Ukraine wanted to join NATO.

There is only one reason, I guess: Dario Amodei must have suffered tremendous harm from Baidu.
