What is Mirai? Can you re-explain what you said in plain english?

Really great video... great job!!!

Ah ok so you have to paste entire files in 1 by 1, you can't just add it locally somehow? too bad you cant just upload a zip or something...

How do you make a custom gpt which knows a specific code base? I have been wanting to do this

Lol, I figured but given that it was like $800 I figured maybe it had to be doing something, even though I knew I'm falling for some marketing gimmick I had hope!

Wow I actually have just the model less. Man does it make good rice. It has an AI chip in it

Posting here so I can refer back to this...

There is nothing better than an ultra deep 12 hour sophisticated coding session while listening to Devin the Dude

An absolutely comically bad logo design. I mean, that is worse than atrocious. If you're going to attempt to design something, at least possess the intellect to know that you must be good at what you're spearheading.

Just looking at the horrible logo mashed into the header that is 100% illegible because its like 50px wide is all you need to know.

Crippling boredom

I would have to agree

I just had a call about the nuances of high volume email and I was like so are we going to talk about the details or ?

And he interrupted any time I would give details specific to PMTA config and architecture so he could show his useless diagram that just had

[MTA]

Then the owner on the call would hear parts of what I said and would say ooo can you diagram that

I just shook my head, and this went on for 1+ hours

I have no regret, only a slight loss at the sense of self. All of that energy does not come for "free." You must pay the piper so to speak. You only have a few surges like that in your lifetime, so far I'm on like #7 or something and I feel I don't have it in me to do too many more, at least at that intensity. Kind of like a cat that gets 9 lives. In my 20s I was a bit foolish on what I chose to invest those 9 lives in. Luckily, as I've gotten older I'm much smarter and I have chosen wisely.

Your statement contains a lot of nuance that would have to be unpacked which at this moment I don't have time for, but I would say...

For starters, nothing I ever do is JUST for "enjoyment" or "learning", explicitly, by itself, as some kind of standalone pursuit.

Everything I do has to have some kind of meaning behind it, even if the meaning is small, such as "I wonder if I'm smart enough to do ___?"

So to answer your question, the projects I did were not for the primary reason of enjoyment and learning, but not because I was focused on some monetary end goal, and moreso because that's not how I approach anything in life.

In this particular example, I was working with my business partner, the end goal was monetary, but also was a sort of "magnum opus" style project that was insanely difficult (algorithm wise) as well as an extreme creative pursuit (of which I'm very creative). So my creative energy was what powered me, and my endless pursuit of problem solving puzzles and challenges also motivated me.

I loved every second of it, at the expense of my health, relationships, etc.

The gist of my message I think is for me, there is no other way. I have to have the perfect harmony of meaning + creativity + problem solving + a single person I "vibe" with very very well. If those ingredients are right, I can achieve focus and motivation levels that are just absurd. I mean literally from 5am to 9pm i coded without moving out of bed, including weekends. I gave up all fun, entertainment.

I notice other people are drawn to the pursuit of knowledge simply for the sake of learning, or knowledge acquisition. That's not me though, and if the only purpose is to just pursue information I could have never done that simply due to the massive amount of energy required (and I have done year long projects... maybe 6-7 times now. Luckily some of the other ones were really successful)

I would absolutely encourage anyone take up a year long project if they're able, simply because I don't think many people possess the certain configuration in their mind of how to motivate themselves to have that much energy. It almost doesn't feel like a choice (to me). I dont wake up and go "well I guess I should spend a year on this." It is a hyperfocusing deep powerful energy, like a calling or life purpose, where the only thing that makes sense is to do it. AND....... if a person has this, they should absolutely never ignore it.

So yes, I would say any person who has even a hint of a calling, absolutely do it, and not focus on outcome.

The multi-year project that never sees usage is... almost a bit of a badge of honor. I feel and know the deep pain. It's definitely not a WISE badge of honor, but I feel it's an almost much-needed lesson for the type of developer, like myself, who just becomes hyper focused and consumed... in a good way.

When I speak about some of my past experiences, and the pain they bring, I feel like people's eyes glaze over.

I dont think until you've spent upwards of a year on something at 10+ hours a day.... you could ever really relate.... thousands of hours, almost HALF the time they say it takes to master something, and then nothing comes of it...

I can just say I look back on those times of my life with appreciation but also, damn does it hurt. The pain never really fades too much either. Despite all my successful projects, all my fingers in many pies, all my current success... I can't get back those multi-year projects. They were certainly required for learning, but I just feel sad and melancholy when I think back.

What do you mean multiple schemas ? What is an example of a non readable type?

Oh man I just googled the rainbow bridge Im not ready to read that yet it hurts too much. Thank you so much for your reply, I know this isn't a long reply but just know I read each word, and it really helped me digest this, somehow knowing other people go through the same thing helps a bit, I'm not sure why

Hmm so the vet doesnt deal with that? what do i actually do to make preparations, as theres no pet cemetaries that Im aware of?

That makes me feel a lot better... thank you

Thank you :( Your words make sense and I appreciate it. I havent really cried much in the last 10 years, maybe 2 times. So it feels very weird. I just started crying in the car while driving thinking of this post, and that is really new to me.

I am very sorry about Abbi

Ok I will definitely do it then.

How long did it take to not feel just truly awful? Like I said... Ive never experienced that much grief/pain from loss before. I am scared how bad it will be, or what to expect.

One of my favorite cats has a bad tumor and a 3 month expected life span. I found out a few days ago.

I’m shattered and the thought of having to be in the room or not is just super depressing.

I’ve never lost a pet before or even someone very close to me.

I’m scared for how bad it’s going to hurt

Part of me (most of me) wants to be there to feel the pain in the deepest way and not bitch out. To be there for the last breath

Oh man I feel so bad

Sadly she didn't give one, however.. if you live near the CSZ like I do, then check your city to see who does their flood maps, and then call that office. For my area specifically they had a whole branch devoted to earthquakes called the earthquake office or something.

I picked her brain for about an hour, asking about all different questions about liklihood of tsunami, how far inland, I asked her stuff about my foundation and my house etc.

Id say it would be worthwhile to try and call your local office.

This article actually is loaded with inaccuracies. I once called the local earthquake office where I live, where the local scientists and such work.

They said this article is the bane of their existence because of people calling into their office with false beliefs that have just propagated into fear over time.

I dont even think the sentence got out of my mouth "so about that article I saw...", I was calling to see if my area was in danger of a tsunami, and she gave relieved my fears greatly.

It will be bad, but also there's a lot more nuance to it.

Just say it… Brain Fuck

Let its syllables echo through your body

Let its phonetic oomph roll off your tongue

Or a golden parachute that’s been slashed with a knife

The article is cringe yolo for sure

With that said I was planning to use prisma and went and looked at issues on GitHub. They’re egregious … and I will not be using prisma

The library also looks like it was written in a yolo way as well.

My guess is the graphql background has permanently stunted it, as the project manager keeps wanting examples for performance issues instead of realizing the entire fact joins are missing to begin with is idiotic and absurd.

So my guess is they’re piecemeal fixing one off issues instead of fixing the problem at its root, probably because prisma code is not designed with that in mind from the beginning

Wow just one look at this issue was all I needed to see. https://github.com/prisma/prisma/discussions/12715 “Please open an issue if something really is unusable or breaks in any way so we have these concrete cases recorded. In our knowledge Prisma works just fine and returns the data that was requested, just using a different method.”

Good lord

Postgraphile looks awesome. Thx for pointing it out

They are not immune to terminal tumors... which I found out several days ago :(

Im absolutely shattered
