Become healthier through diet and exercise. Don't worry about your weight. Gaining muscle through weight lifting will increase your weight. Cardio exercise will increase your weight due to increasing blood volume.

Just cut the sugar calories. You probably eat the appropriate amount of calories for you, just eliminate the calories you drink.

Why not both? LLMs are hilarious when they aren't trying to be funny. They are pretty bad at jokes normally, but when LLMs hallucinate more than normal it has the right amount of absurdity to be funny.

Another great feature of Tcl for writing servers it that you can reload the code while it is running and keep all the state and connections open. Code up/bootstrap your server while it is running the whole time. Sure this is a security nightmare, but it is fun to code.

Nice! Did AOLServer (now Naviserver) do that? That was the major Tcl webserver that I remember.

Most of your steam games will run on linux with proton.

I worked the Rete algorithm into ansible-rulebook for condition matching events. https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/rulebook/en/stable/r... This does use Drools underneath now.

There will be a lot more competition in five years when the cost of running a company is much lower.

I have half a MUD that uses TTS and speech-to-text as the interface with LLMs generating the content and a database keeping the context. It works surprisingly well.

Meta's customers are advertisers. Their tools for advertisers are the best in the business. Facebook and Instagram users are the product.

If you had a little more software in your car it could automatically remediate the issue and you'd be on your way with no repairman involved or at least tell the repairman exactly what to fix. Maybe you could fix it with the step-by-step workflow on your console.

Half the time there’s a light on my car, it’s a damn sensor! More components mean more points of failure.

Check Engine Light being on comes standard

Mechanics call this the money light. :)

Indeed. When I took my car in last winter because the light had come on for no apparent reason, as the car was running fine, they charged me $140 to take it out on the road to try to find the reason. No reason was found. Two weeks later, the light came on again (towards the end of 2022). The car was and is running fine. The light will remain on until July when I take it in for a scheduled oil change.

Sounds like it was an intermittent fault? If so, those are notoriously hard for any mechanic to diagnose. Cars _usually_ store code history but it's up to the manufacturer and often the data they provide to the mechanic with a scan tool is misleading or an outright pack of lies.

Or you could buy a $20 code reader and see what's causing the light yourself.

But the mechanics using their professional grade code reader and related equipment couldn't figure out what's causing it. At least I'm comfortable with "unknown" after that's their diagnosis; I don't think that would be the case if I did it and got that result.

Nah it would figure out what is the best time and place to break, order you an uber, and Uber would psy you manufacturer for the order flow.

It would also show you ads while you wait

Oh no. I wrote a mini-language with a PEG parser and an AST. I guess I'm a compiler engineer now.
