“Attention is all you need” came out in 2017…

You can only manipulate one particle at a time.

Everyone knows where the gold is stored.

The box for HTC HD2 had <---- BIG ----> as dimensions of the phone. It had a 4.3" screen that actually was huge at the time (2009), but it’s hilarious from today’s perspective.

Use Rufus, skip online account and automatically opt out of telemetry.

Avoiding MS account and many manual parts of the installation (opting out of shit) is like two clicks in Rufus before installation. Everyone should do it.

Also plenty of youtube channels, like Numberphile (many of the featured hosts have their own channels), 3Blue1Brown, Mathologer, Wrath of Math and many more. They have vast libraries covering pretty much any topic imaginable. It’s all top tier presentation, so intersting they made me study math for fun - I’d rather watch Numberphile than Netflix.

He’d skip after 3

You realize the models you’re running locally had to be trained the same way as the proprietary ones, right?

I know how it works and I’ve seen coffee plants in real life. I didn’t know the fruit is called a cherry in English. They don’t look much like cherries apart from being red…

I guess you mean “berries”

What would be the impact on everyday life if a nuclear EMP destroyed all electronics in our lives instantly? First there are a lot of dead from car / plane crashes, then most patients in hospitals, then many due to running out of water and food. And what’s left of the society then collapses into barbarism, violence and fighting for resources.

It’s possible something like this would happen should the nuclear weapons of today be used. The book is hard to stomach, but everyone should be aware of the possibility and be at least knowledgeable in survival without modern technology (if not outright stocked up in a doomsday vault).

One Second After - W. R. Forstchen

Please everyone, read this book. It’s sad, disgusting and heavy, but it’s probably a documentary for events that may happen one day. It’s very well researched and the plausibility and realism make it even scarier. It hasn’t turned me into a prepper, but in part motivated me to make our house as self-sufficient as possible. Also it made me aware of small useful things in my surroundings that I used to be blind to.

I’ll do one better: UniGetUI. It handles Chocolatey, Winget, Python system packages and even other managers. All in a neat UI, nice search, auto updates.

Standing desk (electric, not crank operated) + tiny under-desk stationary bike. Sitting the whole day working/gaming and still getting to do some physical activity is great.

3D printer (I’ve got Prusa MK4+MMU3). It’s an amazing versatile utility, great skill to have, and a fun hobby. Don’t buy cheap chinese clones, it’s not worth the hassle.

That’s just a charity…

I took up online tutoring and teaching programming for kids. It has great benefits:

• It’s an hour or so after work, it has a fixed schedule so it forces me to clock out
• it makes me focus hard so I completely forget about work
• it pays for itself (not my corporate day-job rate, but I’m not doing it for free)
• I can try out languages and tech I’d normally wouldn’t be able to in my day job, or I’d have to invest my free time for a side project
• I have a background in teaching… I like it, it’s fun and refreshing
• I’ve helped many kids jump start their interest in programming even in families that know nothing about tech at all. I’ve helped a few of them to get accepted to the school they wanted to and pursue a career in programming

All in all, teaching after work makes for a great hobby and a strong barrier for my day job so I don’t find myself working late anymore.

The requirement for Recall is a neural coprocessor with substantial performance, specifically to be able to run the model locally.
