Always Original, Never Sponsored
I recently bought myself a new GoPro to complete some promo work for a project. When I had gotten it home I unpacked it, excited to test it out. You see, it has been a while since I last used any sort of action camera (the last one I broke within a few minutes of […] The post You’re absolutely right! GoPro’s support is just AI Slop appeared first on Something Decent .
Take a look around you and have a deep ponder on your surroundings. You’ll likely see a number of things which are pretty standard across modern society. Maybe a car driving past, maybe a person speaking on the phone as they walk to the shop, you might even see a rodent scurrying around for some […] The post Comfort in the chaos appeared first on Something Decent .
This is more of a brain dump than a well constructed blog post. Just a warning. Since the inception of LLMs and their quirky ways we, as a society, have been seeing the magical letters ‘AI’ shoehorned into any space they will fit. So far I have seen all sorts from AI toothbrushes to code […] The post The AI Dilemma appeared first on Something Decent .
Last night I found myself sitting at my local viewpoint watching the glittering lights of London flicker against the backdrop of a night sky. As I sat there watching Wembley Stadium’s arch gradually change colour from white to blue and numerous commercial aircraft glide into Heathrow Airport I set off down one of many rabbit […] The post If One Thing is Infinite, Everything is Infinite appeared…
While on my current trip to India, I had one of many conversations with my brother (technically my cousin, but you know, culture) about life and existence. During our conversation, he said something that stuck with me: “Bhai, people think I’m weird. Everybody does.” I obviously asked him why he felt that way. He then […] The post Everybody’s Weird appeared first on Something Decent .
The title of this post could easily be misconstrued as a cry for help. It is not. It is merely an acknowledgement of the current situation in which our species finds itself. Obviously I expect that people will instantly spout a response along the lines of “how can everything be fucked when [INSERT_NATURAL_PHENOMENON] exists”? The […] The post Everything is F*ck’d and That’s Perfect appeared first…
I’ve decided to take a break from random blogs and try to put something useful out. How useful remains to be seen, but still, useful is the goal here. I am currently rewriting my dad’s business’s website in order to bring it out of a village in Punjab, in the early 2000’s, and into the […] The post React Components and Dynamic HTML Data Attributes appeared first on Something Decent .
Other than the work I do for freelance clients and hobby projects, my professional career has been largely in the realm of A/B testing. I was an in-house engineer in my previous employer’s optimisation department and when started at my current employer. In both roles I joined a company writing code directly into the editor […] The post The Problem with A/B Testing (Stop Calling it Conversion Rate…
Cryptocurrencies have been varying in popularity over the past 4 years. This is largely down to the almost systematic bull runs which loosely follow the Bitcoin halving cycles. And are then followed by a bear market which completely wipes any gains for multiple gamblers/investors. While the application and utility of cryptocurrencies is something which seems […] The post Proposal for an…
I can distinctly remember my introduction to the concept of race. It occurred when I was 5 – 6 years old. I was walking home from school with my mother and my older sister. We walked between the now non-existent Salisbury Court and rear garden fences of the houses on Kings Drive. I turned to […] The post Being Mixed-Race is Weird appeared first on Something Decent .
