I’ve been reading Marcus Aurielius’ Meditations and, very appropriately and scaringly, YouTube algorithm thought I would be interested in Marcus Aurelius, the Man Who Solved The Universe . The title is bombastic and misplaced, but the video is well executed and correctly summarizes some of the Emperor-Philosopher’s thoughts.

First 24 hours with Vision Pro. It feels like a generation 1 product. Similar to how I felt with Apple Watch or Macbook M1, when they just came out. A lot of small issues here and there, but overall very impressed with the potential. Issue 1: Glare from very bright light on lens. Watching movies or playing games on Vision Pro is very straightforward. The screen does not have a lot of white lights, so it does not reflect on the lens. Howev..

Introduction: Next.js is a popular React framework that enables developers to create server-side rendered applications with ease. Two essential functions in Next.js are getServerSideProps and getStaticProps, which help developers pre-render pages and optimize performance. Although they share similarities, they have significant differences in terms of functionality and usage. In this blog, we will explore the differences between getServerSid..

Why you should regularly and systematically evaluate your LLM results

This robot would have known this is just a random skull had anyone spent time evaluating results from the Yorick Identification Model. Credit: katiebcartoons. Evaluating results from LLM pipelines is time-consuming and often I’d rather poke my eye with stick instead of looking at another 100 results to decide if they are “good”. But I do it anyway and I cannot understate how beneficial it is. Here’s why you should do it:

Just brought home your Apple Vision Pro and are ready to start developing? Well hold on a second – the process for setting it up isn’t super clear and doesn’t exist anywhere in Apple’s documentation that I could find. The steps are pretty simple, but you will be jumping back and forth between the headset...

The “Method of Differences” is a mathematical technique for reducing the computation of polynomials to repeated addition. Once the system is setup, relatively unskilled human computers can populate dense mathematical tables. This is the “difference” in the Charles Babbage’s Difference Engine which aimed to automate the creation and printing of these tables. I have created a playground where you can experiment with the method and in this a....

A lot of the things David describes in this post resonate with me. As far as I’ve been able to figure out so far, the things my mind is best at are details and systems. It‘s part of what makes me a good programmer: I can hold a lot of detail in my head about how a system fits together, I can mess around with it more easily than most people, and I can pick up on details other people might miss, such as potential bugs. A lot of the thin..

Since starting out as an independent contractor, I’ve always felt a tension between being a generalist software engineer, yet having to market myself as a specialist. I’ve been wanting to write about it for years and even have kept some notes for that purpose. Recently I came across an article by Ben Collins-Sussman, which gave me the last bit of inspiration I needed, even though his article only indirectly touches on the topic.

We recently became interested in Minecraft again, n we figured we might wanna host our own server (which's sth we hadn't ever done yet, fwiw). We like the Aether mod a lot, n that doesn't run on Fabric or Quilt, so we hada set up a server using NeoForge (the original Forge seemsa be dead). Turns out tho, there's no easily findable guides online on howa do this? They might, generally speaking, assume ya got an environment where ya can easily....

I’m an avid user of CTRL-w to close tabs in Firefox. It turns out when there is an update to Samsung Magician pending, it will capture that keypress and stop any application or game to use CTRL-w system wide. And I thought it was the Tree Style Tabs extension acting weird, since it also had some problems. The problem is not confined within Firefix, all other browsers using CTRL-w will also be subject to the same bug. Possible so..

Recently a friend had to set up some cloud infrastructure on Azure. He was trying to create a VPN Gateway through the web UI, but couldn’t find the “Basic” tier (the cheapest on Azure). The only available options started at more than $100 / month! He later stumbled upon this support request (archived), where a Microsoft employee shamelessly explains what’s going on: the Basic SKU is no longer available in Azure portal.
