boodleboodle··on Are You Enjoying Our Linguine? (2025)
I kinda disagree with the general sentiment of the article. IMO the author mistakes a low context social style for imperial tastelessness. I, a Korean, lived in the US for a decade so I do have experience with this "imperialism" the author tries to illustrate.

However, the American behavior the author is describing is more attributed to how American social norms don't force anyone to "read the room" and "know your place". At least, not as much as Italians and Koreans. Americans have simple rules they abide by, like general etiquette and the constitution. And Americans are brought up to neither refrain from nor judge others acting within that boundary.

So I don't agree Americans are "tasteless". I find Americans to be more tolerant and accepting, at least compared to cultures with longer history. And that is the American "taste" in my opinion. This has its cons, one of which is someone from my culture thinking they are oblivious to others around them.

Could Codex CLI get this support also? I am sure a lot of us are running remote linux machines with Nvidia GPUs, with codex CLI running

boodleboodle··on Building Better Country Selects
Yes this is a pain in the ass for many many Koreans.

Your eyes have to scan for:

- South Korea - Korea, South - Republic of Korea - Korea, Republic of

And then you have - North Korea - Korea, North - Democratic People's Republic of Korea - Korea, Democratic People's Republic of

boodleboodle··on “Car Wash” test with 53 models
Fun fact: this probably originates from a viral Korean dude who actually walked to a car wash because it was close. So this is a case where a human actually failed

boodleboodle··on I DM'd a Korean presidential candidate and ended up building his core campaign
This politician is basically a Korean knockoff of Charlie Kirk.

In his 40s, touring the country "debating" college kids. Selling middle-school level economic arguments that appeal to online community addicts.

Basically a spokesman for the "I tell it like it is" crowd.

boodleboodle··on South Korea's President says US investment demands would spark financial crisis
Average korean:

We just hope Americans realize some day that the world is not taking advantage of them like Trump wants them to believe.

Korea is very dependent on America but this is a mutually beneficial situation. We are their customers and they are ours. Except Korea is more desparate so the US can afford to rip us off or kill contracts whenever it feels like it. We are always thankful to UN allies and the US for freeing SK from NK but Americans are not here to save us. They are here to snoop into beijing and control the pacific ocean.

boodleboodle··on PaperBench
Wow I just tried this and it's great!

I regularly paste papers into LLM interfaces but they all spit out generic non-helpful answers. Your app is the only one i've seen that actually helps me understand.

boodleboodle··on Tracing the thoughts of a large language model
This is why, whenever I can, I call RLHF/DPO "sequence level calibration" instead of "alignment tuning".

boodleboodle··on Bun 1.2 Is Released
Bun is amazing. It’s a life hack for me. Chatgpt doesnt know much about it so there’s some productivity hit but i love bun.
boodleboodle··on Bun 1.2 Is Released
Same for me. I was in the “whats the point npm will have all these next year” camp. Finally tried bun and was blown away. Subtle things in DX add up. For my project Bun is so “next generation”.
boodleboodle··on I am (not) a failure: Lessons learned from six failed startup attempts
Hmm.. if anybody feels the blunt force of failure it's them. But they feel it was a success so I believe it must have been. Also they don't need to cope now.
boodleboodle··on The origin of the cargo cult metaphor
What? When did I call anyone a nazi? Whatever you perceive happened for the last 15 years has nothing to do with my comment. I said what you yourself said: lets recognize what is potentially hurtful
boodleboodle··on The origin of the cargo cult metaphor
I fall on the opposite spectrum: I don't think the author's call for consideracy deserves shaming with a term like "language policing". Instead in my mind, I label comments like this that reject calls for compassion as "defensive insensitivity". I think terms can still be demeaning even without demeaning intentions. Like "orientals".
boodleboodle··on The origin of the cargo cult metaphor
I agree. What's so hard about acting a bit more considerate instead of telling others to stop getting hurt? Nobody is out to criticize anyone's intentions or accuse them of being colonialists. Sometimes it costs to be considerate but not this instance.
boodleboodle··on Why was there a wall near runway at S Korea plane crash airport?
Safety hazards and disregard for accesibility as well
boodleboodle··on Why was there a wall near runway at S Korea plane crash airport?
South Korean communities are fixated on this wall issue to an abnormal degree. Discussion of this wall has become a congregation of people who 1. See this tragedy as an opportunity to deride province the airport is located in. 2. Want to be contrarian to those who tell them to wait until official results are out. 3. Feel like the society is "forcing them to mourn" (whatever that means) and would like to look at the cold hard "FACTS". It's a mess.
