Naming is hard. Prefer DEBUG_ENABLED over NODEBUG, and use Feature.Enabled instead of Feature.Disabled. Otherwise, you’ll end up with something like #define NODEBUG 0 and find yourself wondering what it even means.
YouTube Premium has this annoying feature: when you press the side button on your phone, the video keeps playing.
It was nighttime at the camp. I opened some movie on YouTube—something about Jesus in the desert. I watched for about 10 seconds, got bored, and put the phone away.
About 10 minutes later, I heard a faint, desperate scream. It scared the shit out of me.
Turns out, the movie had been silent for 10 minutes… until Jesus suddenly screamed in the desert.
CAPTCHAs may soon ask you to draw Mickey Mouse to prevent AI from accessing websites. 😛
The official repository for BlenderTools apparently died (I use it for the SendToUnreal tool); the last release was almost 2 years ago, but https://github.com/poly-hammer/BlenderTools is still active and also has updates to support Blender 4.x versions.
Mandelbrot but AI sings
What if I made a tutorial where, instead of narrating it myself, I used AI-generated songs to sing the entire lesson? Would that make it easier to understand and more entertaining? After all, kids learn the alphabet through the alphabet song, right?
My solar panels stopped working, the service man will come next week on Monday.
I came across a different serialization format. Currently, I use JSON, Protocol Buffers, and sometimes just raw-dog the data. I think msgpack is a promising format that could work across all my use cases.

Unreal Engine GC is so good; I love it very much. Gotcha, April Fools.

weight mechanism puzzle UE5 game mechanics
If you just need to change the filament in your 3D printer and your common 3D printer software is too heavy, you can use the lightweight Pronterface instead.

If I need to connect to my Oculus Quest wirelessly, I need to run:
adb tcpip 5555; adb connect $(adb shell ip addr show wlan0 | grep "inet " | awk '{print $2}' | cut -d/ -f1):5555
Then, if I want to map ports, I run:
adb reverse tcp:8090 tcp:8090
I was groking things before Grok even existed—without actually using Grok.
Dear President Donald Trump,
Could you sign an executive order to cancel daylight saving time?

I wonder if a CoT LLM would perform better if we set the temperature high during reasoning and then immediately lower it after the reasoning is finished, right before the LLM gives us the final result.
Sometimes I need to search on GitHub, and I often look for C++ source code. To do this, you can use the path:<regex> filter. For example, path:/(^|\/)README\.md$/ narrows results to files named “README.md”.
