• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Updates that don't tell me what is being updated⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, you might be inclined to not roll the feature out at all, depending on the results you see from the rollout/an A/B-test. Also, having it written out with a date in the changelog binds you to that date, unless you want the embarrassment of not shipping on a promised time. Maintaining a changelog for very large app development organizations is also a pretty damn hard task, trying to coordinate whatever all teams are releasing in a particular build.

  I agree that getting cute with the changelog messages is a bit stale. Might as well not add anything at that point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Updates that don't tell me what is being updated⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Modern mobile app development almost always releases features gradually behind feature flags, so changelogging things is not necessarily practical to do.

  The dose makes the poison, really. It’s quite hard to reach a harmful amount of sugar by just eating fruit - you’re likely to get either full or bored with eating fruit before you start reaching unhealthy levels of sugar. Combine this with fruits and berries generally being a good source of dietary fiber, this makes for a good combination of attributes you want in healthy food.

  No, I’m talking about where the urine hits the toilet. If it hits a part that doesn’t get washed by the flush, the urine dries out there and smells.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hmm this "unisex" bathroom seems biased...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
  • Cleaner for your penis: sitting down eliminates the last drops remaining that are common when standing up
  • Cleaner for the bathroom: zero risk foreskin messing up your aim and having pee hit areas that don’t get washed by the flush
  • Better urine elimination for men that have prostate issues or lower urinary tract symptoms. I don’t, but it’s a factor
  • More chill to sit down and check your phone while in the bathroom
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For people who relocated: when did you realize you want to live in the new place long-term & why?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I knew I felt completely done with the town I grew up in at the point where I graduated high school. Through some funny circumstances, I then spent an additional 3 years there attending University.

  Then I moved to the biggest city in our country in search of better job prospects. It was mostly about the availability of jobs at that point, I didn’t have a specific desire to move to this particular city for any other reasons, as I didn’t really know how it would be to live in a different city. I figured I could always move back - or to another place - if things didn’t work out.

  I have never looked back, as I learned that I really enjoy living in larger cities over smaller more car-dependent ones. I miss nothing from my old city, except maybe vicinity to my parents, which was never something I valued particularly highly anyway.

  Same with not drinking the water in Mexico.

  Wait, why would this be racist? Tap water is not potable in Mexico, locals drink bottled/filter their water. Am I missing something here?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Doxxed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  More space isn’t necessarily a better thing, there are very real diminishing returns after a certain point. Plus, living space is both an asset and a liability - you have to pay to keep the space warm or cool depending on your local climate, and you also have to clean the space.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨leading ai company⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a bit different with mass market mobile applications because of the supply chain constraints - most notably the Apple reviewing process. Your next app release may for whatever reason they feel like unexpectedly take an additional week, so do ensure that your QA is in order before releasing.

  Another significant factor is the lack of control you have over the software once released - any bugs you ship may potentially be out there for a long, long time.

  Web applications don’t have these constraints and can as such be deployed an infinite amount of times per day. The same goes for backend services, deploy to your hearts content.

  This basically means that most larger mobile applications have adopted approximately weekly release cadences, and that we’ve had to get very good at using feature flagging to control our software in the wild, and avoid large impact of shipped bugs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨leading ai company⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  On the contrary, the rate of mobile app updates being high is more of a red flag of an app development team not having the situation under control, being forced to panic-ship fixes.

  This is true. They do not think, because they are next token predictors, not brains.

  Having this in mind, you can still harness a few usable properties from them. Nothing like the kind of hype the techbros and VCs imagine, but a few moderately beneficial use-cases exist.

  Yep, that’s leptin resistance for you. Obesity is really a hormonal condition, and this is why GLP-1 inhibitors are so effective - they actually treat the hormonal condition and allow the recipient to manage their food intake without having their body hormonally work against them.

  A layman’s explanation of my best understanding of the subject:

  Hunger is controlled by 2 hormones:

  • Ghrelin, which causes hunger and is produced by the stomach
  • Leptin, which suppresses hunger and is produced by fat cells

  As fat cells accumulate, leptin levels also increase, but a person that has developed leptin resistance will not feel the appropriate amount of hunger suppression from the leptin, leading to chronic hunger unless large energy intake is sustained.

  LLMs are fundamentally unsuitable for character counting on account of how they ‘see’ the world - as a sequence of tokens, which can split words in non-intuitive ways.

  Regular programs already excel at counting characters in words, and LLMs can be used to generate such programs with ease.
