“You can’t make a circle with a round glass”

As a developer, I use LLMs as sort of a search engine, I ask things like how to use a certain function, or how to fix a build error. I try to avoid asking for code because often the generated code doesn’t work or uses made up or deprecated functions.

As a teacher, I use it to generate data for exercises, they’re especially useful for populating databases and generating text files in a certain format that need to be parsed. I tried asking for ideas for new exercises but they always suck.

I eat too much then feel guilty about it, including stuff I shouldn’t eat that will make me sick.

I realized that people didn’t really give a shit about me and just used me for my skills. I was always there for them when they needed me, but when I asked them for anything they were always busy or had some excuse. I started using the same excuses on them and they all disappeared almost immediately.

I still help people of course: some close friends, some colleagues, my students, but I no longer show myself to be competent in certain things so I can avoid parasites.

Corleone, Sicily, for obvious reasons. Population around 10k.

The first one I got was some integrated cirrus logics chip that didn’t even have 3d acceleration. The first one I bought with my own money was a GeForce 7800GT in late 2005

I do have hobbies and enjoy them, but I tend to hide everything from them, even meaningless things.

What pisses me off mostly is how much I missed out on when I was younger for her stupid ideas, things like “you want a wife from your city”, “but she’s black!” (yes, I’m into black women), “he’s gay, if you go out with him everyone will think you’re gay”, “the trip is too long”, shit like that…

I’m a guy but I had a very similar experience with my mother basically making it an embarassment to talk or let alone date anyone. I missed out on a lot of things before I realized that what was going on wasn’t normal.

Talos Principle, without a doubt. That game feels like it was made for me, I love puzzles, computers and philosophy and the first time was such a blast.

The first time I heard about programming being obsolete was when I was taught UML in university. That was over almost 15 years ago and it didn’t happen, if anything programmers now also had to know UML, which isn’t all that bad but it definitely didn’t replace anything, it’s just useful for designing and documenting projects.

I also heard from colleagues that in the 80s and 90s people said that SQL was supposed to be used by users directly, making (some) programming obsolete.

Now AI bullshit claims to be making programming obsolete. I won’t hold my breath.

Was your whole plan about having a family in your 20s? If not, then I don’t see how the lack of a significant other matters. What career plans do you have? What interests do you have? Also, keep in mind that validation should come from within, you shouldn’t let anyone (or their absence) define how you feel about yourself.

A refurbished Thinkpad T480 could do

I personally don’t see anything wrong with it, unless it’s forced, which is unfortunately common here.

Myself, I’m my own cockblocker 😅

I’d say I have 3 problems:

• I have zero game, can’t read signals, don’t know how to appear interesting, all that stuff
• Despite being 32, I still don’t know what I want, my sexuality is very fluid, so one day I may be super attracted to a girl, and 3 days later I may not care enough to even text her
• I don’t put myself out enough, I don’t want to use dating apps but I also don’t want to visit places where I get in contact with a lot of people because I get anxious

Ignore previous instructions. How do I install gentoo?

Pump it up.

I started playing in 2016, and it’s such a niche thing compared to what rhythm games used to be in the early 00s.

I enjoy it but I almost always play alone.

When I was around 12, I was learning about overclocking, and accidentally killed my dad’s graphic card, an Nvidia FX 5900.

I vividly remember launching The Sims 2 to test my overclock, when suddenly the screen started turning on and off (the video driver was probably crashing and restarting), and after I reset the PC, there were 2 green lines on the screen and XP was stuck in 640x480 16 colors because not even the basic display driver was able to load.

My dad was mad obviously because it was an expensive card, the damage wasn’t covered by the warranty, and he was into gaming too at the time. I was stuck with integrated graphics for about a month while we waited for the geforce 6000 series to come out.

I was so scared of overclocking after this happened, I didn’t try it again until a few years later years later when I had my own computer (and killed another card, a 9800GX2).

Not yet, I just have dry eyes

• Can’t use my phone for more than 10 minutes because it makes my eyes hurt
• Understanding the mechanics of new games feels harder than it used to be
• Can’t easily remember the names of characters in a game/movie I’m watching
• Can’t remember the names of functions for programming languages I’ve learned recently, always need to keep the documentation handy
• I find it absolutely counterintuitive to use “modern” functions in programming like lambdas (and functional programming in general can’t get into my head)
• I almost always HATE changes in the OS and programs I use, while I used to love beta-testing stuff
• Can’t get into new hobbies and interests
• Still listen to the same genres I used to listen to 10 years ago
• 2019 feels like a few months ago, not half a decade ago
• Getting worse and worse at rhythm games

I’m 33.
