Use ChatGPT or you will become a dinosaur, and people will laugh at you the same way how people laughed at those who did not know how to Google.

I wonder how much billions or even trillions are lost just because Windows has such a slow file system? It is ridiculous how slow it is.

Why do people react to the music harmony, feel emotions? I understand the melody; it kind of part of language. But harmony is usually three tones we don’t have analogs in nature; it is based on harmonics but feels like this explanation is far-fetched.

Is the code generated with the help of Copilot public domain? Similarly, how is it with image generation?

What if we do compute-intensive tasks on the orbit: mining bitcoin, protein folding, training AI? There is plenty of sunlight = plenty of electricity.

  • ☑ Light all engines on liftoff
  • ☑ Separation on the staging
  • ☐ Booster’s engines relight for landing
  • [partially] Opening of the Pez dispenser cargo door
  • ☑ Cryogenic propellant transfer test between tanks
  • ☑ Starship achieved orbital velocity
  • ☐ Heat shield test during re-entry

If flat-earthers exist, I wonder if flat-Marsians also exist.

Tim Sweeney is undoubtedly a genius and still I wish he would be able to see the feature and implement the serialization part of Unreal Engine in modern C++. I am completely lost on how FScriptMap is implemented.

I am wondering how many people instantly know it is safe to go in the water where a Tesla car is submerged. You will not be shocked by the battery. Initially, I thought it was obvious for people, but now I have second thoughts. So it is not going to shock you even if the terminals of batteries would be exposed (of course they are not) because the current will go between the terminals of the battery. Also, think: maybe it’s dangerous to wash a Tesla car; you know it’s electric? Or drive in the rain?

Remember, Singapore is not China. China cannot control TikTok because it is a Singaporean company with a Singaporean CEO.

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.

It does not matter which way we move the hands of the clock: one hour forward or one hour back. But every time for a couple of days, I feel like a zombie.

There is a quite effective metric in UI design: the number of mouse clicks to achieve the task. Less mouse clicks are better. For example, selection from radio buttons takes one mouse click; selection from a combo box takes two clicks. So radio buttons are better in sacrifice for the screen space of course.

YouTube changed. Objectively, I click away from the video way more often than I used to do. I did a spot check for 5, 6, and 7-year-old videos; watched them from start to finish with no problems. Good for me though, less distractions.

About a year ago, I bought 20 64GB USB flash drives for $150. It was a terrible deal in any terms; my thinking was that I could backup data and use the sharpie to mark the disks. What I learned is that they are very slow; it took about 8 hours to transfer data. So, they were sitting in the drawer for a year. I thought if I made a RAID array, it might be faster. So, I put 7 USB disks in a RAID5 arrangement, and it’s still slow. Any ideas on how I can recover the money?

Long COVID - still have it. I had a grace period for two months last year, November and December - no symptoms. Symptoms came back - a little. But today, full power: chest pain and phantom tobacco smell. And I cannot do anything; it just stays here, no matter what I do. I can make more pain but cannot take it away, and the smell. Usually, with real smells, it goes away as the nose stops sensing it, but this smoke just stays, and I cannot do anything about it. Suck.
