  • As someone who went on a run before breakfast this morning: I feel like the penguin on the right most of the time. I’m barely keeping up with my chores and social life, I reduced my working hours to 36 per week because 40 was too much. Being able to go on a run is one of the few things I am sort of keeping up with.


  • I might misunderstand what you mean with “implementing” an LLM, but unless you have a good understanding of deep learning and math I wouldn’t recommend to implement one from scratch. There’s a lot of complex math involved in these kind of topics. If you mean implementing an application around an existing LLM, for example writing a chat website that interfaces with ChatGPT or a local LLM, then it’s doable (depending on you current skills).




  • I do, but I’ve gotten better at it. More often than not I just struggle to get started. So just forcing myself to get started results in actually doing what I wanted to do. Sometimes I’m just exhausted, and I accept that I’m just gonna “waste” the evening with video games or something. Rather have some enjoyment than nothing.

    That being said, I’m still learning to be better. I’m still too judgemental and unrealistic to myself





  • My first experience with the Sims was jumping behind a random computer at some kind of event that was running the Sims 1. Most of the family had just died because the previous person behind the PC had let the house burn down. Needless to say, I was a bit confused. I’ve played the Sims quite a bit after that, and I honestly like messing around with it.

    I don’t think I’ve ever played a game without cheating a lot of money. I don’t like that the Sims that I made have to go off to work or school, so usually I just build a big fence around the property to keep them all there. From there on it used to devolve into chaos when I was younger. Building huge mazes to access basic necessities, launching fireworks indoors, etc. Nowadays im a bit more behaved though.

    Imo the Sims 4 is the best nowadays. The older ones are showing their age. That being said, the Sims 4 is definitely in need of some competition. It’s inexcusably buggy sometimes, and I personally think there’s a lot more that can be done with a game like this. Hopefully the upcoming competitors can spark some fire into this genre.





  • So they’re just gonna cry that the EU is the cause of all of our problems. It’s Wilders, he always needs someone else to blame. I’m afraid that he’ll try to convince a substantial part of Dutch society that “we need to take back control” from Brussels just like they did in the UK. A lot of people don’t like nuance and complexity, they just want a silver bullet and people like the PVV and BBB promise them that. Let’s pray that NSC and the VVD (lol) have some integrity.

    Many of the new bottle caps I encounter will actively push back into the closed position, meaning I have to keep them out of the way when pouring if I don’t want to pour over the cap. Since I tend to encounter them on drink cartons rather than bottles, because I don’t drink soda etc, it becomes even more annoying. Bottles you can turn whichever way, but drink cartons need to be kept at a certain angle for optimal pouring. Quite often the cap is in the way and there isn’t really a nice place to put it.

    This is even more frustrating because I never lost these caps anyway, I always threw them away with the packaging. I understand that it probably helps in the bigger picture, but for me personally it solves nothing and is incredibly annoying.

    Edit: two examples

    This one is fine, it snaps into a position that’s handy and out of the way:

    This one is very annoying. It’ll stay in this position and requires constant force to keep out of this position. When opening or closing the packaging the attachment point also rotes, meaning it’s always in the wrong place:
