4 days of my shitposting have gone from my website, and I take full responsibility. Lesson for me: do not SSH to your pet projects from the office.

The COVID-19 pandemic has just started and I had a dry cough. I was pretty sure it was a nocebo effect, but even knowing it wasn’t helping, at some point it was so bad that I had to constantly mute myself on the streams. And you know when my cough stopped? After I got my first vaccine.
We need more research in this area; we cannot just discard it and say it is all in your head. Even knowing it is not real, it does have an effect on the body and can affect your real life.

I am wondering what percentage of people are actually self-motivated. It is frustrating to see that everything in the work environment is designed around control, key performance indicators, and essentially making sure workers are constantly monitored. I do not mind being monitored, at the end of the day, a large portion of my side projects I made on the Twitch stream, but sometimes it is annoying. I assume the push to return to the office is driven by the fact that they want to monitor us working.

I am stepping into the world of diet, as I am trying to figure out which foods are low in fructose or have a balanced amount of fructose and glucose. It is a total mess, as all websites seem to contradict each other. ChatGPT is also confused, I assume because it was trained on this conflicting data. For one prompt it says cantaloupe is low in fructose, and for another prompt it says it is high. Also, if 30% of the population is affected, why is it not part of the nutritional breakdown?

I finished my coffee and had some oranges. I listened to music and danced. Now I am going to focus on my work.
Because of an imbalance of power between employees and supervisors (employees' financial situation depends on whether they will have a job the next day or not), supervisors must be extremely explicit in their requests. For example, if a supervisor sees an employee is sick, they should very explicitly say to the employee, almost in the orderly manner, that they should take a sick day. This should not leave any uncertainty on the side of the employee. Similarly, if a supervisor is asking something of an employee that is outside of their responsibilities (ideally, this should not happen), and the employee says “no”, the supervisor should recognize that it took a lot of courage for the employee to say “no”. They should also give a clear sign to the employee that the request was outside of their responsibilities and that the “no” answer does not change anything in the future relationship.

Every once in a while, my mind replays the moment back in Russia when I got an F on the physics exam and the professor said, “What are you doing here? Go back to your village.” He said it because I am Asian, and he made assumptions based on my appearance. I don’t blame him; the system and collapsing country had likely caused him to say this. When I arrived in the United States, I did not see much racism because the country had made tremendous efforts to combat racism and xenophobia. Now, I can see that there is still a lot of work to be done in this direction, so let’s keep pushing forward and not let the progress made be reversed.
I was wondering what the heck “lorder” is, like “little lord” or something; it appeared to be “i order”.
I like the feel I get from wearing reading glasses; it gives everything a cinematic look. I have never been nearsighted, so the background has never been blurry. When I wear reading glasses, the background is blurry and it gives me a feeling like I am in some fancy movie.
I learned roughly 30% of people have some sort of intolerance to fructose, and it looks like my body reacts quite badly to fructose. My current solution is to minimize the amount of sugar in my diet. As I learned glucose is fine, it would be nice to be able to know how much glucose and fructose by reading nutritional facts. I would love to have some sweet treats every once in a while.
I cannot shake the feeling that THIS emote ʌ (usually it is an animated caret symbol, or an arrow pointing up with “this” words underneath, or just “THIS TBH”) is slightly offensive. Talk me out of it.
The Twitter algorithm was open-sourced about a month ago, and it had been active for a while; I saw a couple of pull requests were merged, but currently I see the last commit was two weeks ago. I am assuming the best of intentions, but it does not look good not having any commits for two weeks. So my question is: what is going on?
I am testing the game in different languages and Russian worked perfectly; I switched to French and the controllers stopped working. It doesn’t make any sense. Do controllers speak English to consoles, or do I need to make the controller speak French now?
Guys, let’s start paying attention to what the government is doing. I’ve only touched the tip of the iceberg and it is completely messed up. We should fix it.
TIL; a whole new word: “lane”. I used to call it “line” before.
I think Notch wanted to make Factoria, but accidentally made Minecraft
Here is a thought from Elon Musk that I found while browsing Twitter. I’m going to rephrase it a little, but the idea is: when developing a new technology, initially target it as something luxurious for wealthy people. The point is that the new technology is not yet polished or optimized to be cost-effective. This will bring in some revenue and also make the technology appear prestigious in the eyes of people. Meanwhile, you can continue to refine the technology and bring down the cost. This is what happened with the Roadster, and this is what is happening with FSD.
Now I have gotten Elon’s joke about him being an alien. I was an alien also for 6 years until I got my US passport.
I thought about how we can fix healthcare in the US. I think the first step should be banning insurance institutions. Insurance essentially is gambling based on human fear, and only insurance companies are winning in this setup. Additionally, it inflates prices.
Yeee… TyePodDog is back to life. Long live TyePodDog!
Game Idea: “Among Us,” but the imposter is an AI. Players have to find out who is the AI.
I love ChatGPT; it is so smart, patient, and always cool. As humans, we should learn from it.
I am looking at my 14-year-old son; he behaves like an adult, he thinks and talks like an adult. That is crazy; I don’t think I was like this at my 14 years old.
