I have become frustrated with how our tax money is distributed, and I used ChatGPT as my therapist as usual, and suddenly became a fan of UBI (Universal Basic Income).
I need to do taxes. Interesting thought: I give Elon Musk money for the solar panels and two Teslas; also, though my taxes, he recently blew up three big rockets using my tax money.
I am Elon Musk's sugar daddy!

Once I had an existential crisis, thinking maybe I am not human anymore, trying unsuccessfully to solve the captcha for 30 minutes.
I have a question: why are we teaching AI to do fun things, like writing books, drawing pictures, and playing games? Why aren't we teaching AI to do boring things, like folding laundry, washing dishes, and mopping the floor?
Maybe we should get back to the origin of the Internet, where it had a decentralized nature and everyone had their own cute website hosted on their personal PC?
Lately, I have been dealing with a lot of anger. I want revenge and justice for bad people. But I am just a software engineer; not even a manager or producer, let alone an executive. I cannot do much about it. They are skilled at manipulating the s...🔗👇🏻
In an ideal world, people do what they are passionate about and that makes them happy. Based on this, if you have a question: 'Should I do this or that?' The answer is: No. If you truly are passionate about this, it is not a question for you; you already do it.
Have you ever heard a crack head say:
'I have no money, I’m not going to smoke today'?
No. They always find a way.
Are you gonna let a crack head out hustle you today?

IBM 360, roughly 50 years ago, took about 0.18 seconds to compile. 🤔

The same thing happens at the parking lot; I'm always afraid they will hit my car with their door. They always park beside my car, even though the parking space is free.
Sometimes, I repark my car.
Another Apple Vision Pro idea: IRL Adblocker. It automatically detects advertisements on billboards, TVs, and censors them for you - blur, pixilation, black rectangle, you name it.
Can someone invent candies that taste like candies, smell like candies, feel like candies, and also heal tooth cavities, keep you in shape, and maintain a moderate level of insulin?
3 days ago, I started doing resistance exercises. I managed to do 6 push-ups; the next day, I was so sore that I could not do anything. Yesterday, I did 10 push-ups, and now I am in pain again. 😂
@SteamVR
Works great on my Windows box. Way way better than the Oculus default link app.
I can't make it work on Linux for some reason. The Oculus VR doesn't see my Linux box at all. I may need to tweak some firewall settings.
BTW, we have a solution for global warming that we've had for ~50 years: nuclear power plants. They are cheap and reliable. But for some reason, people think making more nuclear bombs is better.
Interestingly, the same thing is happening with AI-generated music. I can sense the 'AI-ness' in GPT-generated text, I can see it in AI-generated images, and now I can hear it in AI-generated music.

The genie is out of the bottle. I don't know how many people will lose their jobs and what jobs; what I know is that I need to be prepared for the new feature, so it's better to start using it now to hit the ground running. AI is not here yet, but it's moving alarmingly fast.
Why does Apple think files are hard for users to understand? Now, I don't understand how to manage photos on my iPhone, and nobody understands files thanks to Apple.
Here is an exercise to find your passion in life. Imagine you have an infinite amount of money; what would you do? Personally, I would travel and build a Metaverse from hotel rooms.
I don't remember if I told you already, one of my first programming books was BASIC Reference in Italian. BTW, I did not speak Italian; also, I did not speak English either.
I would say programming is not the same as coding. Soon, we may not need to code because of the advancement of AI, but we will still need to program for a while.
If you want to grow, embrace a sense of imposter syndrome; if you feel comfortable at the place and feel like you belong there, you will learn very little. If you feel out of place, this is a sign that you may learn from those around you.
This graph is nuts. My best-performing video is 90k views, which was over years and years. The Linux inside the game video is 12k over 7 days.🤯 What did I do right? How to repeat the success?
I never had a problem pairing Bluetooth devices on Linux. It's always fiddling on Windows, iPhone, Tesla. On Linux, it just works. I would admit one device I failed to make work: the Xbox controller (and you know it's made by Microsoft).
Are you a software engineer? Use your skills to focus on solving real-world problems. Human happiness is a good example. Making frameworks, building scaffolding, making engines—we have all of this. I think we're ready to start working on real problems.
I don't know what to do; she is so happy. Should I let her realize by herself that technical writing is not coding but writing documentation, or should I tell her?
I think studying physics would be a lot more fun if physicists referred to particles as balls. Everything is a ball, and everything is made of balls. "Physics of Elementary Balls."
