I try to a avoid Temu, but they have some good traits, too, like quick and convinient shipping.

1. Lump sum, pretty big (like year worth of salary or close) payment on birth

2. Works for first child only.

That's it. So, it kinda works, but very limited. Increasing sum did not increase birthrates, if I remember correctly.

I assume the same is true here. A lot of people have real trouble to get romantic partner, and AI filla the void. It may look bad from the outside, but I don't think normal people can judge romantically deprived.

What would be even more dystopian than AI-partner society is not only to blame incels for each and any issue, but also to disallow them even right to use AI for romantic feelings.

I will try to reverse engeneer firmware with claude when I will get all things needed for that.

I remember how at 12 or 13 year old, my father had given me a printout of Turbo Pascal program that calculated square root equation, and told me to print and run it.

That was a beginning of my programming career.

Terrible to always see misinformation from people who don't even check basics.

What I found is

1. With LLMs, I was finally able to find time and confidence to contribute a patch. Before, contributing to established project seemed impossible with an amount of guidelines to follow and insider knowledge to have.

2. Many small isolated parts do not require some great code. Just glue, tying libraries together allows producing new features in existing apps. With some cars, it is possible even if I don't know the languages and libraries used.

Good times.

Contrary to the author, I was able to export my blog from livehournal to cms blogengine.net and then migrate to WyAm static website generator and host on netlify.

Then, for many years, I was procrastinating and not using my blog properly. When i wanted to blog, I used substack instead :(

But finally, last week, I used Claude code and Gemini to migrate from WyAm to its successor Statiq, then fix formatting and other issues in blog.

Then I even managed to use Google takeout to download original photos, match them with images used in the blog using conceptual hashing, and replacing blog images with originals where it makes sense. (Replaced IMG SRC with IMG SRC set for diff resolutions).

Migrated blog from netlify to local selfhosting (old laptop with proxmox) behind cloudflare.

All this herculean effort was so fun, easy and enjoyable because of LLMs!

I am totally sold on LLMs now.

By the way, blog is in Russian, mostly about travels: https:/izvne.com.

Next step for using LLMs: port local pool-like Latvian game Novuss to open silverlight, improve it and publish.

While he is a bit snobby and complaints too much, you can't deny he really envisioned huge amount of things to come. His imagination is next to none, and probably some things he described we will see only in the distant future, or maybe during the singularity, if it happens.
