This is so annoying. YouTube keeps setting the video quality to 360p, and I have to set it back to 1080p manually all the time. I have no idea what is going on.

I’ve been watching quite a few Star Trek episodes on Pluto TV for the first time. I’m wondering about phasers—not lasers—and how lasers, in general, aren’t visible from the side. However, could an energetic enough gamma laser become visible from the side due to electr

I don’t think I can continue with the current state of AI. It just generated 500 lines of code in no time, and none of it works. I don’t need a crystal ball to see myself debugging this for the next 2–3 days.

Once, I was arguing about operator precedence in C++ with my colleague. He was very confident about the precedence of one particular operator—I don’t remember exactly which one, but I think it was || versus &&. He claimed he could see the precedence clearly in his mind beca

I dreamt about my dad last night. It wasn’t explicit, but it was implied. I was at a café ordering food, and I ordered for two. After placing the food on a tray, I walked toward a table. While I was setting the dishes on the table, a stranger sat down next to me. I was expecti

I think OpenAI made ChatGPT dumber, so they can put the not dumb model to the $200/month tier without doing anything.

I never had a robots.txt file on my website—I simply forgot to add it. Apparently, for Google’s crawler, no robots.txt equals “don’t index.” 🤔 Ever since I added a robots.txt file, Google’s crawler has been hanging out on my website non-stop. Now, I can final

Message to my future self. For some reason, Unreal Engine thinks my laptop screen is a High DPI screen and makes the UI huge. So, to address this issue, I need to go to the Editor Preferences and disable support for High DPI.

I have always had a hard time understanding why we need antivirus software. There is plenty of code that has bugs, and viruses exploit these bugs to compromise systems. Instead of writing more code to protect us from viruses, why not fix the bugs? Similarly, I do not understand:
