  • I’d say don’t be hesitant to try to get her into things. Don’t push it multiple times, but if she’s genuinely never heard of, for example, South Park, just show her an episode. If she doesn’t like it, that’s that and it’s not your fault or anything and it sounds like she’s at least willing to give things a shot for you.

    Then of course try to find things you’ll both like. But do it together cause it’s more fun that way and it sucks to feel like you’re the only one trying.

    But also maybe you don’t have a ton of interests to share and just enjoy each other’s company and that’s fine 🤷






  • Having tried simple bidets in both warm, cold, and neutral-ish climates, I find that cold water bidets seem to stiffen the poo bits and make it hard to actually get them off your butt esp since they stick to the hairs. You and I might be talking about different levels of cold, though.



  • You should give Claude Code a shot if you have a Claude subscription. I’d say this is where AI actually does a decent job: picking up human slack, under supervision, not replacing humans at anything. AI tools won’t suddenly be productive enough to employ, but I as a professional can use it to accelerate my own workflow. It’s actually where the risk of them taking jobs is real: for example, instead of 10 support people you can have 2 who just supervise the responses of an AI.

    But of course, the Devil’s in the detail. The only reason this is cost effective is because of VC money subsidizing and hiding the real cost of running these models.




  • Compilation is CPU bound and, depending on what language mostly single core per compilation unit (I.e. in LLVM that’s roughly per file, but incremental compilations will probably only touch a file or two at a time, so the highest benefit will be from higher single core clock speed, not higher core count). So you want to focus on higher clock speed CPUs.

    Also, high speed disks (NVME or at least a regular SSD) gives you performance gains for larger codebases.
