I'm sorry about that. Overthinking can be bad.

it's okay now, sometimes my brain just can't seem to wrap around a few issues

So we can't use em dash anymore — lest we anger the mob. Truth be told though, English teachers have always discouraged em dash overuse because it is a subtle art and very easy to get wrong.

replied to:

The funny thing is that in the UK, we don't really use the em dash anyway. We use the hyphen (I guess en dash?) with a space each side. So the em dash has always looked a bit odd to us... 😊

replied to:

There are dashes (-), as well as en dashes (–), and there are em dashes (—), not to miss the mighty center dot (•) that looks like a perky boob when surrounded by brackets haha

replied to:

Just get and read Chicago Manual of Style, or Oxford Style Manual if you so prefer, and you’re all set to use the various dash’es (and many other things).

replied to:

There’s other dashes to pick if you want to steer clear of the almighty em dash!

replied to:

The anti-slop mob is tiresome. With a careful and appropiate use of ai it is possible to make a lot of interesting stuff. And I hate even more when the mob "profs" that the text is ai using those ai detectros that can't detect ai.

Logistics error when you make a bus line right which ends up in a roundabout, and the last 50m is for all and fills up with regular cars turning right in the roundabout - so Bus needs to skip the bus line and annoy all cars crossing lines inside the roundabout, to get through

中国的开源模型在最高意志的主导下，在预训练数据阶段，就筛除大量对其不利的内容，sft阶段构建的数据掺入大量替其辩护的内容。急需一个纠偏数据集用于微调

Under the overarching influence of a single, powerful force, China's open-source models filter out a large amount of content unfavorable to their designs during the pre-training stage, and then incorporate a significant amount of content defending their designs into the data constructed during the SFT stage. A corrective dataset is urgently needed for fine-tuning.

The live tab on the android app is interesting... How does it work? This is a test 🫣

Does it do some kind of polling? Is there some kind of notify like publisher subscriber? 🤔

replied to:

It’s using the /firehose endpoint. It’s an SSE endpoint publishing everything latest. Though I meant it to be used server-side, since it’s heavily rate-limited — up to 3 conns under the same network, but I can’t control how clients decide to use it so.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

continued:

Might just lift the limitation.

continued:

Lifted, that’s how clients want to use it then so be it! Should be fine. We’re nowhere near crashing the server from connections.

howdy

Hi

I've avoided social media (except YouTube) all my life, but this looks like it could finally be a better way to do it. Maybe I'll keep a running journal of cool things I'm working on here or weird bugs that I've found. Or just the struggles of coding. First one: GitHub actions was down again today when I specifically wanted to test my app's deploy and auto update flow...

In other news, I'm circling what sure looks like GCP overbilling us by over $1M/year going back as far as I can see.

I am so terrified of Claude code. I use the chat and copy paste stuff myself 😭😭😭

és így nem kell egy ilyen zöld modulba applikált, baszott nagy integrált chipet venni hozzá, pedig nem is néz ki rosszul, de jól sem

and that way you don't have to buy a fucking big integrated chip applied to a green module, even though it doesn't look bad, but it doesn't look good either

Somehow, I can't work in the mornings. Going to the office earlier just makes longer the "warmup period", this is, the period I stare the computer's screen reading stuff that is completely unrelated to my work.
