I know how it works and I’ve seen coffee plants in real life. I didn’t know the fruit is called a cherry in English. They don’t look much like cherries apart from being red…

I guess you mean “berries”

You should try this one, it’s not fun either.

Also beware the AI Explained channel, where the creator is full-time investigating and evaluating cutting edge development in AI. You might even glimpse what’s coming.

It only mentions the snapshot storage and processing. It’s a perfect solution for them. The AI will crunch the data and report only it’s findings to Microsoft for advertising purposes. They save on storage and electricity by offloading the data harvesting to your machine.

One Second After - W. R. Forstchen

Please everyone, read this book. It’s sad, disgusting and heavy, but it’s probably a documentary for events that may happen one day. It’s very well researched and the plausibility and realism make it even scarier. It hasn’t turned me into a prepper, but in part motivated me to make our house as self-sufficient as possible. Also it made me aware of small useful things in my surroundings that I used to be blind to.

That’s just a charity…

I took up online tutoring and teaching programming for kids. It has great benefits:

• It’s an hour or so after work, it has a fixed schedule so it forces me to clock out
• it makes me focus hard so I completely forget about work
• it pays for itself (not my corporate day-job rate, but I’m not doing it for free)
• I can try out languages and tech I’d normally wouldn’t be able to in my day job, or I’d have to invest my free time gor a side project
• I have a background in teaching… I like it, it’s fun and refreshing
• I’ve helped many kids jump start their interest in programming even in families that know nothing about tech at all. I’ve helped a few of them to get accepted to the school they wanted to and pursue a career in programming

All in all, teaching after work makes for a great hobby and a strong barrier for my day job so I don’t find myself working late anymore.

The requirement for Recall is a neural coprocessor with substantial performance, specifically to be able to run the model locally.

You know you can configure to not autoskip those segments, right? You can always skip manually, if it’s that kind of video.

I’m gonna just leave this link to the official speedrun.com asset page that may or may not have a freely available Android APK of the original Peggle Deluxe that works on modern devices.

Why not use winget or chocolatey instead? They allow for auto updates and have much wider library. Winget can even pull from msstore if necessary. There’s even a convenient WingetUI that consolidates them and others (winget, choco, scoop, npm, .net, pip, etc.) to a single app manager.

I collect unfinished projects.

There’s OSTRAJava, a parody esoteric language based on a very specific regional accent of the Czech language.
