You should watch this.

It just shows how disconnected we are from the small group of people making decisions that will impact our future heavily.

These people have so much ai psychosis. If you listen to how she speaks, everything is personified, it is undoubtable she believes this is a living computational organism.

Just like how a model can hype up an individual into psychosis through reinforcement, a small group of people are giving themselves psychosis through reinforcement.

Wild times we live in

@shresthrana_ Waiting for the link drop!

@shresthrana_ Looks slick! This is always a debate in Bangalore while meeting folks!

built a tool that finds the fairest spot for a group of friends to meet.

tested it on Bangalore because of course I did. :)

my homelab was running abnormally hot after shifting it to a new spot. asked claude code to investigate.

it ssh'd into the machine, found beszel (monitoring tool) stores metrics in sqlite, wrote a python script to analyze 30 days of temperature data across all sensors - cpu, gpu, nvme, wifi module etc.

the script detected spikes: cpu went from ~46°C baseline to 82°C. cleverly, it used the wifi module (which generates almost no heat) as an ambient temperature proxy inside the case. wifi went from 34°C → 54°C, suggesting that the air inside the case itself was hotter.

then it checked thermal throttle states via sysfs, correlated cpu load vs temperature, and confirmed the cpu cooler was working fine but the case exhaust fan is likely dead.. and it was right! 🤯the header connection became loose during relocation.

pretty neat for a vibe debugging session.

@swatimodi Tch tch tch...

[Karan Sharma @mrkaran_]

cooked a smol macOS menu bar app that passively watches DNS traffic using BPF. shows cool stats :) all local, no proxy or resolver hijacking.

but this was more of an exercise in writing code in a completely unfamiliar stack (swift) with LLMs assisting me. so ofcourse i couldn't understand the entire code, but it really helps that i've a working version right in front of me and now if i want to dive deeper into swiftui stack, i can :)

@nachimak28 i actually hate it, it executes code for even the simplest of questions, taking longer time to respond and consuming more tokens!

@AnandaniNisha @ReheSamay I know! Lucky Samay!

met a random guy on the flight today;

@algoholic09 You quote random people?

The Math That Secures India's Identity - Verhoeff checksum

This morning I had to update set of aadhaar numbers in company's database. I needed to know whether they are legit or not.

Not whether they belong to a person, but whether they are structurally valid.

[Ameya Shenoy @codingcoffeeX]

@shubhporwal24 seems like you'll be busy today ;)

[Ameya Shenoy @codingcoffeeX]

does documentation even make sense now?

earlier it was to abstract out complexity for easier understanding, and even then nothing was ever documented very well. and even if it was it never used to keep up with the latest changes

now one can simply use LLMs to directly generate the documentation when needed from the source of truth
