    It’s disturbing how normalized speeding is. It goes beyond normalization. I’ve had people get furious with me, flip me off, tailgate me aggressively and literally try to run me off the road for driving the speed limit.

    It’s especially stupid in the city. People get all pissed at me for driving the speed limit and maneuver recklessly around me before speeding off, only to get stuck at the red light a block ahead. I could feel smug as I pulled up beside them a moment later, that is if it weren’t for the disappointment and frustration I feel with how stupid people are behind the wheel of these speeding death machines.

    I can’t think of any other law we have where a significant proportion of society seems to be actively hostile towards those who care to abide. Why do we accept this as a society?





  • I find you get much better results if you talk to the LLM like you were instructing a robot, not a human. That means being very specific about everything.

    It’s the difference between, “I would like water” and, “I would like a glass filled with drinking water and a few cubes of ice mixed in”.














  • I stopped using Spotify long ago because of their shitty business practices. Producing a product they killed support for within just a couple years without reimbursing customers and producing huge amounts of e-waste. Jacking their subscription prices twice in one year. Apparently, they also donated to Trump despite not being an American company?? That’s to say nothing of their shitty recommendation algorithm, which just plays your most played tracks over and over. Good riddance.

    For those interested, I use Tidal now. I’m satisfied with, their recommendation algo is fine and the higher quality streaming is really nice but nothing I’ve used has ever been as good as Google Play Music, I found so much good music though that service and could upload whatever I was missing. Once Tidal inevitably pisses me off, I’m going to move on to self hosting.
