All I know is I used to have full on colds during winter in my 20s to early 30s, like every winter I would get two weeks of runny nose till the skin became red and irritated, sore and painful throat, coughing, etc. Since I take 25000 IU (D-Cure in Belgium) like 2-3 times a month during winter for the past 15+ years my cold last 2-3 days and symptoms are much more mild. For me the data is there.
Damn. I set up a 2vCPU 4GB RAM VPS on Linode for my web app (Linode 4GB). Was ready to move there. Then I found Hetzner has servers in the US and I could get more for my budget (~30$/month). Not anymore!
CPX22 (2vCPU 4GB) seems to be the exact same price as Linode 4GB (24$/month).
YouTube seems a little much. Plenty of examples of bright kids who learn coding or electronics at a very young age, no doubt having access to YT is a big part of it.
Hmm I guess those kids would use their parents account or something like that.
The UI is just better overall. Ever since Chrome came out with the "unified search bar" imho Firefox was behind in usability. Firefox just follows. Like recently didn't they add tab groups after Chrome implemented them?
Isn't Brave based on Chrome?
Personally I think it is really stupid to choose a browser based on privacy. I choose a browser based on usability. Whats the selling point of Brave? That it hides ads?
Safari's OK if you're on Mac. I'm on Windows 11. Chrome looks tight, the tabs look great, my bookmarks bar looks great and I can fit a ton of bookmark folders on there. Firefox looks worse in almost every way.
I don't like how most LLM explainer articles and videos say that essentially a LLM " predicts the next word".
I'm a developer but not very good at maths and I still don't understand any of it.
A LLM clearly has some "visual" capacity. You ask Gemini to build something with Canvas and it's able to reason about the shape of things. Like recently I waanted a checkbox that has like a gradient flowing around the edge. It figured out it could use a radial gradient from the center of the checkbox, and overlay that with a small inner div so you only see the edge that looks like the gradient is circling around the checkbox.
How is that "predicting the next word"?
Not saying AI is intelligent or conscious or anything like that, but the algorithm clearly is far more complex than "predicting words".
What I mean, is the LLM is able to represent things in space . That part I don't understand.
I also still dont understand the relationship between the chat based LLM and the multi modal stuff. I think I read somewhere when image is generated it is also tokens?
This is insanely good. But wow, prompting to get any one of these images is way more complicated than prompting Claude Code. There is a ton of vocabulary that comes with it relating to the camera, the lighting, the mood etc.
I agree. I think of AI as a search engine on steroids.
But I think it IS the best way to search for information, to be able to put a question in natural language. I'm always amazed just how exactly on-point the answer is.
I mean even the best of docs out there that have a great search bar like the Vue docs still only matches your search term and surfaces relevant topics.
I'm 51 now and I feel like I will never be an adult. Looking around I see a lot of broken people, each in their own peculiar ways. Everyone has some coping mechanisms, triggers, and behaviours rooted in childhood. I don't see it in a bad light, I think it is just humanity.
