In Turkish, the bishop is also called "fil" (elephant).

The best way to stop eating ice cream is to stop buying ice cream. If it's in the freezer, it'll be eaten.

But how do you stop buying ice cream?

Fill your freezer with frozen food other than ice cream.

You buy your groceries while that piece of your brain has no excuse to make loud demands ;-)

Eat your dinner before going to the shop.

Also, doing high-effort endurance exercise for long enough suppresses grelin production (the hunger hormone). I've seen 30+ minutes of running or 60+ minutes of cycling as the most common rules of thumb.

So in order to stack all these effects to maximum effect: plan exercise before meal, plan mean before doing groceries.

I think there is a better way: The colder something is, the less sweet it will taste. if you warm-up ice cream and taste how sickeningly sweet that soup is, you won't be having so much for a while...

The best ice cream I ever had was at a small shop in Athens that had unsweetened ice cream.

I have no doubt it'll be attempted, but they won't be clones, they'll be clowns.

Even if they were pixel perfect clones with exactly the same play. As a person who vibe codes like there's no tomorrow to have custom software, I still find the color of the bytes important for something like a retrogame.

Otherwise it's like color photocopy of an art piece.

So we cannot say anything bad about the current administration without being divisive? What does criticising them tell you about tribalism?

The point is that no matter which party rules, they are bribed by big business to represent the interest of big business. Criticism without change does not really work well.

Be ambitious to be happy.

The trick is not making it about being very productive, but productive "enough".

Elon and many others act like if not everyone is giving it their 110%, the world will be doomed, however the world is full of communities that otherwise were living happily getting destroyed by 110ers.

If you accept your (and everyone elses) insignificance, focus on your community, and just try to be compatible with your kids or colleagues or random people on the street , while at the same keeping your ability to reject judgement, life gets much easier.

One weirdness I experienced: It suddenly decided to test how my software behaves under load and summoned 100s of processed that just burned CPU when running the e2e suite. My poor mac was not happy (too hot to touch).

Well it was nice while it lasted. Built so much stuff for basically free. I can only thank them for that.

I guess this means that this powerful model for very cheap concept does not work?

They were showing notices about doubling pricing during american working timezones a week ago, so it seems likely to be demand related.

Their v4 flash is brilliant, and I expect they have had a huge, and expensive to handle at short notice, surge in customers as a result.

You mean Beijing working time zones?

No?

The one I saw was 9a-12n and 2p-6p China time. (China is one time zone.)

Nearly irrelevant for US/Eastern unless you’ve got major insomnia.

> I guess this means that this powerful model for very cheap concept does not work?

Remember how cheap Uber rides were? That being said, current models are absolutely incredible. And I’ll think they’re going to get cheaper when the next generation is released.

It was insane how much you could get done for a couple of dollars.

The good times never last.

Good grief, you guys make it sound like like they're going up 100x. I'm pretty sure it will continue to deliver good value.

you can also do this with an esp32 as long as you don't insist using a browser to draw a clock

That's what i wanted to say also. The raspberry is a total overkill here.

Nice implementation though!

Yeah, LVGL is probably what you'd want in that environment.

Also works wonderful for generating AI scripts, goal being increasing the elo rating after a tournament run. Also having deep and shallow tests save a lot of time. Deep tests are run sparingly while shallow tests are run after each change.

devops monster! crazy how intelligently it debugs/solves any devops problem I could throw at it!
