If you thought that, you would be really delusional about what is actually failing.

I use models only through APIs - e.g. gpt-4o through Azure, or Google models through Vertex API. So no data are stored about me.

[^X]* means anything but X as many times as you want. So F will match this part.

> In fact, while I’m unable to remember sounds or hear them in my head, it seems I have a rather good understanding what “sounds nice” that allows me to ad-hoc compose music.

This is interesting. I can remember and hear sounds in my head, but can't visualize any images.

I wonder how common it is.

Not sure if sarcasm or flame bait.

I had much better success with FE than with BE.

Does it mean AI is really bad at FE and even worse at BE?

Completely agree.

That’s why I always prefix my commit messages with “IntelliJ:”.

I have a suspicion that the 30 second loading time is not caused by TCP slow start.

Is there any research on whether GLP-1s are also beneficial for generally healthy and not overweight people?

If my manager fire somebody for using common sense, I’m not going to tell them anything. Because I can be next.

Too bad a lot of websites just don't work with Firefox. It seems web devs are not testing with Firefox anymore.

throwaway019254 — Wed, 08 Jan 2025 18:01:14 +0000

I realized that it's impossible to find clubs that serve alcohol till morning. The laws are more strict nowadays.

Most of the raves I attend now are on indigenous lands, it's definitely not mainstream, and I can party till morning.

To paraphrase: Instead of relying on medication that helps with issues caused by our society, let's completely change the society so it's no longer the issue?

That's very idealistic, in my opinion.
