That wave of long COVID or possibly straight COVID (I did not test, what’s the point? Just self-isolate) is killing my productivity. I did not work on my game for 3 days, starting from Monday, and cannot motivate myself to work on it today. I’ll rest. It’s unhealthy to force myse…

I have a proposal to corporations: instead of laying off thousands of employees, fire the executive team and rehire professional, experienced, and competent executive leaders. I don’t believe it will ever happen, though.

The problem with AI technologies is that I have a hard time figuring out what to do with them. It is a powerful technology, but I usually think from the needs and motivation, and then consider what kind of technology we need to build to fulfill those needs. For example, I want pe…

You somehow messed up with your project settings in UE, and Lumen is grayed out. What to do? Try turning Forward Shading off from project settings. It is a checkbox. There is one in the mobile section; this is the wrong one. It is a checkbox. Check the box where you uncheck the t…

gm. Grandpa is fine. I call him Grandpa because he is the grandfather of my kids. I didn’t sleep well; the phantom cigarette smoke was bothering me, but I feel fine, not very sleepy; it may hit me later.

I just learned that my ex-father-in-law has got COVID from his friend, and now I know the source of the phantom smell wave.

What cigarette smoke phantom smell wave is longer than usual. What is going on? #longCOVID

I wish someone could come to me and say, “You’re an idiot,” and this and that why, and I’d be like, “Ah… yeah… I’m an idiot, and I should do this and that”.

Another wave of cigarette smoke phantom smells. Grrr… long COVID is not fun.

I am working on fixing a seemingly simple bug and finding more and more issues with the code. It reminds me of when the drain pipe snapped, and I tried to put it back together with duct tape until we could properly fix it. The pipe kept leaking because if the tape wasn’t applied …

I just finished writing the code for flying pedestrians for my game, Ordy. I think it looks quite nice.

The auto fill feature in Emacs is an ancient feature from a time when text software was unable to format paragraphs by itself. Now, we live in a world where software can format paragraphs automatically. This feature automatically adds line breaks if a line is too long.
Lately, I…

I created this drone to help with humming exercises.
Research has found that humming has therapeutic qualities, particularly in alleviating long COVID symptoms. [[1]](https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/coronavirus/coron…

This article is pretty good for beginners on prompt engineering, and some pieces I did not know before.

Astrophysicists say the age of the universe is 13.7 billion years, but do we agree on what is the duration of a year? 365, 365.25, or 365.24219?

About 3 weeks ago, Physics Girl made an 11-hour live stream to raise awareness about long-COVID:

I tried to watch the stream multiple times, as I’m interested due to my own long-COVID situation, but I only managed t…

If you are currently implementing or about to implement logging functionality, most likely you are thinking of doing it with a format string, and most likely the compiler would not be able to catch if the format string is not aligned with the parameters, and if the parameters are…

Yesterday, I had some dried Thai chili in my meal; it tasted delightful, and I had some thoughts: “probably will regret it later.” But I discarded that thought and continued to enjoy the meal. Today, I’m paying the price for yesterday’s enjoyment. 😄
Warnings in C++ are errors. Treat them as such, because they can lead to unexpected behavior or crashes. The code below gives you only a warning, and by the C++ standard, it is undefined behavior for 32-bit integers.
int n = 1e10; // undefined behavior for 32-bit int
I have a call of void situation quite often or intrusive thoughts, then I am watching the progress bar for 2 hours and at 99% I want to press the cancel button really really badly. Never did it, but oh boy!
LLaMA 3.1 is very bad at code completion, not sure exactly why, most likely I broke something, I’ll debug it later.
Yesterday, I spent some time upgrading from LLaMA 3.0 to LLaMA 3.1. I also updated the inference engine, llama.cpp, which was 3 months behind.
So far, the 8B parameters model is way faster and smarter. The 70B model barely fits in my GPU memory and is very slow. I don’t think it…
So far, Llama 3.1 is pretty good. It has some hiccups. It feels like it’s a bit worse on coding tasks, but it’s hard to judge after a couple of hours of using it.
