Dang I felt like shit today. Gotta cold. Talked to doctor to make sure not strepp. He said I have to go to work tomorrow. I told him I got the wrong doctor then. He laughed. I went to doc because this morning I was wheezing when I exhaled. He said its just gunk in my throat. Lungs are fine.

Went to store for about an hour and felt like horrible shit when I got home. Lame.

The Bloch sphere is basically a haggis.

The two crimped-off ends are |0> and |1>, and as you move along the tube the probability it collapses to moves from 0 to 1. Where you are around the circumference of the haggis determines the phase.

The stuff inside the haggis doesn't represent anything in particular, and that doesn't matter because I have eaten it.

Tell me something you would say in 2065

My work fired their marketing department half a year ago and the new marketing guy still has yet to start.

But we released one week ago their first AI-generated ad, there are multiple things wrong:
- The logo of our company is wrong
- Our company colours are wrong
- Mixing of English and our (different) language
- Has "screenshots" of our application but our application does not look like that
- AI generated faces that look like PS1 graphics
- Multiple typos
- The font for our company name is wrong

And yet, they decided to publish it. That is maybe 1 hour of time to fix all mistakes if you are experienced in Photoshop but they can't be bothered lol.

Once upon a Time

Windows imgae viewer is a fucking spamming bloatware.

This comic is completely generated by AI. Yes, the new image generator update in GPT-4o is insane! 🚀

Good afternoon everyone!

My chocolate covered bacon is cooling right now:

so I added a sleek UI upgrade with 3.7 sonnet on windsurf but that was on the dev branch which was pulled from the faulty deployed branch...
couldn't track the changes I made so I created a different branch from the main branch and modified the endpoint issue...

return to GitHub to see how the merge conflict could be resolved in order to maintain the UI mods only for me to realize I deleted the branch while dozing off last night 🥲

summary - I think I'm done ❌

dude1: Some man died from euthanasia.
dude2: He committed suicide?
dude1: No, he was killed by a gang of kids in China.

So I thought of this joke today so its definitely a work in progress. But then I wondered what happened with the suicide machine in Europe. So I found this horrifying account.

I mean, she got what she paid for...but...this is so fucked. I have seen a few discussions on this and there are complications to this account of what happened. I expect it will take months if not years to sort out what actually happened.

Imagine if it failed due to a dev bug? Who would want to work on such a machine? Seems so fucked.

Have you tried chatgpt's text-to-speech feature?
It’s so much better than anything that I tried before. You can even choose different "personalities" or tones or whatever.

I‘d even say that it‘s perfect. I can’t think of anything that could be improved in terms of how well it pronounces words and puts emphasis on specific words. It’s 100% natural sounding.

All hail, king of the losers!
Ah, being rushed!
Don't point that thing at me!
Yes. No. Yes. I mean so. Commandament?
Start the game already!
It is good to be the king.
Hahaha..ha...ha!
Gold, please.
Wood, please.
Food, please.
Stone, please.

Only accepted if at least 50% of your code is AI generated / vibe coded. Imagine, they're even asking for it.

But that's very interesting. There is not a decent vibe coding tool in the market imho.

So, where the fuck do all those people that coding in? Just with copilot or so?

Afaik - real vibe coding is just not possible. Those people who say they generated games with vibe coding are actually just programmers tweaking a lot.

I have to say, there is quite some to learn about vibe coding (using my own tool) but to call it really a skill... It's stuff that is learned very fast. So especially asking for vibe coding experience is just idiotic.

Oh the irony. I gotta ask a JS question here...

How come I can't do this?
<button type="button" id="idGetData1" onclick="{async()=>{ await get_data();}}">getDataFromWebserver</button>

But I have to do this?
document.getElementById("idGetData1").onclick=async() => {
await get_data();
};

Why the extra steps and need to run in onload?

Playing around with fetch instead of XMLHttpRequest for testing an embedded board.

Who needs BDSM when we have comms channels' outages in the middle of a PROD release.

Then again, who in his right mind uses Telegram for company comms....

How novel would it be to link vector entries or variables' importance to the correlation between the function's derivatives and frequency components?

Isn't the importance of variables determined typically through things like coefficient analysis in regression or other?

I can’t feel anything
it hurts.

Current job is making me hate developing software. Am I cooked?

I've been getting better at typing with 9 fingers. I am managing to ruin the only health benefit of smoking; the break.
