saintradon··on Show HN: Phrasing – learn every language, to any level
How many hours a day were you putting in?
saintradon··on Anki – Powerful, intelligent flash cards
I love anki, I've used it from everything to Japanese to my college lectures, but my only issue is that it's UI/UX is a bit subpar, there's quite a learning curve to figure out all the little bits and details of the program, and it's easy to waste your time tweaking flashcard layout settings instead of actually studying. Then again, for me, I found often times for college lectures I rarely actually used the flashcards in traditional anki format - I found the act of cultivating all my notes, homework, organizing questions, creating layouts, creating the flashcards - that alone was 50% of the review that I needed to study the material.

saintradon··on Easy Stable Diffusion XL in your device, offline
Very much enjoying this, but, I BSOD'd very hard after making an image. (Maybe my PSU or GPU is bad, I need to take a look).
saintradon··on Extracting training data from ChatGPT
I've seen something like this posted on Twitter a few times as well but it seemed to have flown under the radar for some reason.

saintradon··on Ethernet Is Still Going Strong After 50 Years
My personal experience with VR is 1gbps is plenty, the issues with VR more boil down to things like latency (for instance, streaming a quest wirelessly with VR desktop basically requires Ethernet, with regular wifi the experience is just awful).

saintradon··on Twitter has officially changed its logo to ‘X’
That's simply nonsensical selection bias. You just simply don't hear about the quiet,family oriented billionaires because they're quiet!

saintradon··on Open source code with profanity in comments is statistically better
Isn't there a study that shows that people can tolerate pain better when they swear? This doesn't really surprise me. I'll swear in my code if I really feel like it but commits and everything else I keep more presentable.
saintradon··on Introducing Superalignment
Even if this is marketing fluff it's still a remarkable statement, especially considering what they've already done with AI as of now.
saintradon··on Microsoft opens MIDI 2.0 repo
I wonder what took so long. Maybe it's partially due to midi being perfectly fine for 90% of its use cases. Still, seeing "midi 2" legitimately announced reminds of that meme of "Music 2" being announced.
saintradon··on Stack Overflow Is Down

First reddit and now Stack Overflow? Rough couple of days for anyone googling things.
