I’m always interested in reading how people use language models for automating boring tasks or performing what they wouldn’t be able to do manually. In his post, Dries explores using several local language models for generating alt text for 10,000 photos! This is double-interesting topic to me, since I also love photography . I recommend reading the original post if you’re interested in generating alt text with local llm, specially s..

I liked this post’s rules of thumbs for when to avoid scheduling meetings at work: Before calling a meeting, ask yourself: What’s the goal? If it’s just to convey information—like a status update—then yes, this meeting can (and should) be an email. Meetings should be dialogues, not monologues. If all you’re doing is delivering information that doesn’t require back-and-forth discussion, spare your team the calendar block and just se..

You know when you are on a hike, and there is a point where you are exactly midway through it? There is always a reflection moment in there, where some thinking happens. Sometimes you look back and realize: it’s been a long journey so far, hasn’t it? I recently turned 30, which, like all numbers that arbitrarily end with a zero, is a special time for reflection. For funsies and to reflect, I wrote what I’ve been up to the last 12 years and ..

Summary One of the (many) things that keeps my work interesting is that the system I work on is very dynamic. Today I want to highlight one such dynamic situation by comparing the first quarter of 2025 with the first quarter of 2024. Here we will see that the grid constraints that limit the market have shifted from one TSO to another due to changing grid situation. RTE (TSO of France) in particular shows up a lot more in list of constrai....

A Dark Mirror ideology stands only in moral opposition to its counterpart, while otherwise making the exact same factual claims about how the world works. The only thing the belief systems disagree about is what we're supposed to do about it.

How to annoy folks who use busybox: $ touch `printf "\033[1;33m\033[44mhello"` $ ls ''$'\033''[1;33m'$'\033''[44mhello' $ tar cf 1.tar *hello $ busybox tar tf 1.tar hello $ rpm -q busybox busybox-1.36.1-8.fc41.x86_64 $ Oopsie-daisy. A simple ls|cat or ls|less -r produces the same effect. This won't work with gnu tar & bsdtar, for they both properly escape escape sequences.

One year ago, I checked the top 1 million “websites” for a security.txt file and then posted the results in this blog. As it was described at the time, I used a tool written by someone else who had already run this “experiment” in 2022. You can look at the post, if you are keen […]

After about 11 months or so of poking at Duolingo, a few weeks ago, I finally finished their Finnish course. So now I blog, as is my tradition. I originally started in anticipation of a trip to Helsinki last year , and then I continued on my return because frankly, I was having fun stretching my brain in a new direction. Something that I have learned about myself is that I enjoy challenging myself. I do it with guitar , reading classi....

Here's a document containing a line of text: {type='text', data={'hello, world'}} I'm building in Lua, so I'm reusing Lua syntax. Here's how it looks: Such text boxes are the workhorse of this markup language. There are 3 other kinds of boxes: rows, cols and filler. Rows and cols can nest other boxes. But let's focus on text boxes for a bit. Here's a text box containing two lines of text: {type='text', data={ 'hello', 'world....

Link: How to Write Blog Posts that Developers Read · Refactoring English I think this post would be good for every developer to read. It's more about communication than just blogging. The biggest mistake software bloggers make is meandering. Often, the author has some valuable insight to share, but they squander their first seven paragraphs on the history of functional programming and a trip they took to Bell Labs in 1973.
