just realised because anthropic doesn’t have an altman-type figurehead my brain just substitutes in claude himself. he’s just a guy

Having LLMs is a total Godsend when dealing with Linux as a semi-knowledgeable user! it's literally like being able to have a convo with the forums/docs instead of scouring them manually for hours!

Ok I’m actually getting excited about reading nonfiction again and getting bored of manga/anime woohoo! :DDDD

Probably not the best use of my time but I spent 2 hours today figuring out how to get manga onto my Kindle including creating proper ebooks with webscraping! The end result was quite satisfying even if time consuming!

Ok the weirdest fucking thing about recovering from a Major Depressive Episode is now I’ve hit the point where I need to “relearn” executive function skills that I’d more or less mastered before. But, I guess it’s a good sign overall cause it means the light at the end of the tunnel is visible!

Goddamn it, o1-mini actually is tempting me to spend $$ on OAI API credits again :') Sometimes even our beloved Claude can't cut it for STEM problems.

There are a surprising number of Cantonese uncles just yapping at Tim Hortons at 1am 😅 Just glad I brought earplugs

Ok so like I haven’t had coffee in like over a year cause I don’t really need caffeine as a stimulant anymore but like this decaf latte was surprisingly enjoyable from a taste perspective! Perhaps I should touch grass more often!

Just binged all 4 Rebuild of Evangelion movies and man, I must say, I unironically like these more than the original series. Counters the incredibly depressive nature of the original while still being engaging and thought-provoking and actually has a happy ending :)

Ok good news it looks like vortioxetine is going generic around mid 2025 in Canada!

That moment when your meds have sufficiently kicked in that depressive thoughts seem like *just* a lack of perspective 🙏

There are few things to which I feel more raw antipathy than medical paternalism.

Hell yeah! A bit of breathing room for the next 2 years, but gotta make sure they don't succeed in 2026 when they try again...

Woot woot!

e/acc is to techno-optimism what aum shinrikyo is to buddhism

Bupropion is, as they say, fucking based! Easily blows vortioxetine out of the water even at the starter dose right now!
