Are we still doing BMI?

I wanted to email my doctor about this. There doesn t seem to be a way to do that, so it s going on my blog instead. I went into my yearly checkup with more paperwork than usual. The past year included a strange medical episode that turned out to be nothing, which meant I arrived with [ ]

WordPress AI Daemon

One thing that s becoming increasingly clear as I ve continued my adventure in the land of Vibe Coding is just that software as we know it is going to disappear. I strongly believe that as LLMs continue to both prefect coding, and becoming more embedded into our devices and system, end users will be able to [ ]
