What’s next? Soon you won’t be allowed to call it baby oil unless it’s made from real babies.

On a more serious note, I did order a “flexi” burger at Max by mistake. I thought it was a gateway burger with one patty replaced by halloumi. All I got was veg.

GPT has been quite hit and miss for me, but Claude is usually quite solid.

It needs micromanaging, otherwise it will do bad design decisions and go off on unrelated side quests. When micromanaged it’ll get you to that MVP very fast.

The trap is that you need to be able to find the errors it makes, or at least call them out immediately. Trying to have co-pilot fix it’s own mistakes is usually a neverending prompt-cycle.

It can summarise big code bases fast, and find how things fit together a lot faster than me. It’s been very useful when being thrown in head first into a new project.

Even a broken clock is right two times per day.

It’s been a while since I meddled with FreeBSD. It shouldn’t be hard - it’s just a web stack with some command line ffmpeg. I think the only thing that might be a challenge is hardware encoding.

There are sweet docker images, but I guess they might require virtualization on FreeBSD.

Plex bad. Jellyfin good.

I, too, need a car. But I choose not to go down this route.

I bought my current one five years ago for $4k and spent another $2k to get it reliable. Minimum liability insurance is like $20/mo.

I’m looking to trade up in a bit for something twice as pricy, and I’ll skip the loan part then, too.

Struggling with car payments, you say.

Our EU household doesn’t make $150k/y even if you’d consider the hidden supergross taxes.

I’ve never had a car loan in my life, nor anything beyond the most basic insurance.

If you can’t afford to buy a car, then you can’t afford to wreck it.

It’s better to send that extra money into my savings account or stock portfo rather than waste it on interest and extra insurance. Then I’ll at least get too see that money again some day.

Even I can sell $350B worth of energy if I increase the price enough.
