    A recent survey (n=1) has come to the following conclusions regarding goodness of members of the Brassica family:

    • broccoli: 5/5. Godly. Fry in pan on very high heat, severly searing the outside, but keeping the inside crisp.
    • savoy: 4.5/5. Very versatile. Easy to grow yourself. Smells amazing.
    • kale: 4.5/5. Must have in winter.
    • green cabbage: 4.5/5. Cheers from Sauerkraut country!
    • turnip: 3/5. Alright. Sometimes nice to have. Great raw with dip.
    • cauliflower: 2/5. Tastes like nothing. Only this high up because my control group girlfriend loves it.
    • Brussel sprouts: 0.5/5. Technically edible.
    • Broccoli, cooked: warcrime.







  • Fuck Amazon, fuck Alexa.

    But that wall clock is glorious. It’s a decently look clock, but seeing how much time you have left on multiple timers with a single glance is so incredibly useful. Especially when you’re cooking.

    I’m currently in the process of migrating away from the shit Alexa ecosystem, but no matter what I end up with, I’ll have to find an alternative for this clock






  • For me personally, there is only two applications of LLMs in programming:

    • doing tasks I kinda know how to do, but don’t want to properly learn (recent example: generate pgf plots from csv data in matplotlib. 90% boilerplate, I last had to do it 3 years ago and vaguely remember some pitfalls so can steer the LLM in that direction. Will probably never again have to do this, so not worth the extra couple hours to properly learn
    • things I would ordinarily write a script for, but aren’t worth automating because they won’t come up in the future again (example: convert this Lua table to a Nix set)

    Essentially, one-off things that you know how to check for correctness.
