and why you shouldn't sweat making mistakes (and poor design choices) it was the hot summer of 2021. I was sitting at home, occasionally playing Luanti and chatting online. I was using Windows, yet I had this sudden enthusiasm for free and open-source software that introduced me to all kinds of new tools, some of which I use to this very day. I was first trying out Linux distros on USBs, then I…
welcome again to the blog I forget a lot about :) it's finally September, the month I was dreading. why? well, because the school summer break in Siberia ends in the beginning of September, lasting for the whole calendar summer (90+ days). not bad, huh? especially compared to some other places in the world. normally I wouldn't have a lot to tell about my summer. "yes, I sat in my room for 3 months…
original post I fully agree with the premise of the post. however, I want to point out something else here. what data do you think AI models are trained on? the question of how IP and copyright apply to the training data is still here, kind of unsolved, but LLMs like GPT are trained on public data from the Internet, like articles, books and comments. now think about it when a big tech messenger…
yes you are, darling. no matter how bad you're feeling about yourself right now, you are gorgeous. yes, you've made mistakes. just like everybody else around you. look at the calendar and just take a moment to realize how much time had passed since the Chelyabinsk airburst. that was in february 2013. and even if (just like me) you don't remember it, you've still come a long way. an outstandingly…
according to the Cambridge Dictionary , a teenager is a young person between 13 and 19 years old. I'm almost 15, which means that I'm a teenager. in fact, I'm almost 2 years into being a teenager. I'm almost 2 years into growing tall very fast. I'm almost 2 years into my voice changing drastically without me noticing it. I'm almost 2 years into having acne on my face. I'm almost 2 years into…
I go to the staircase. it leads to the basement door. I'm going down the stairs. the deeper into the dark I go, the louder my procrastination demon becomes. it is trying to trick me. it is trying to fill my head with irrelevant thoughts and ideas, just to feel strong for a little bit longer. no, I don't need to go to the bathroom. and no, I'm not hungry. I'm ready. as I approach the basement door,…
we step into the tourist van that had just arrived to our hotel. it is pretty dark here compared to the sunny october day because of the tinted glass, but that's just what we need. the group slowly fills up the van, and thus it starts. the guide starts, "hello, dear guests, our today's destination is New Athos and-" the group (altogether) replies, "no!" "it's Lake Ritsa!" "no, Lake Ritsa!" the…
...or how I keep my files this isn't a particularly complicated system. in fact, it is stupid simple; hence "monkey". because of that, it can easily be automated if you really want that. I've "designed" it when moving some folders from "home"s from Windows to Linux and vice-versa. but it can be useful when moving to a different hardware too, or when just reinstalling the thing. this guide is…
I've noticed that many English-speaking people struggle with reading stuff written in Polish. for the Russians out there, Микита Вишневский . for everybody else, let's talk about this. first, Mikita. if you ever read Russian names, you are probably familiar with the name Nikita. but the first letter is different. so, what we get as a result is Mee-key-ta . use this YouTube video as a reference.…
just one of the topics I've been thinking about. so, whenever I talk to a person and their writing or talking style is different from mine, I tend to adapt it, but only for that person (though exceptions occur; I may keep something for my standard writing style if I liked it). usually that helps to build a stronger connection with that person: when you're communicating the same way it all just…
