    Went on our yearly Pattaya trip

    August 4, 2025 /

    Me and T have been going there every year to visit interns or attend conferences and the like. I took a lot of food photos to add to Maps in hopes of reaching level 10 as a Guide. The trip started out with a great bowl of pork blood noodles for lunch on the way to Borabu, the next town over. Unless otherwise indicated, all of the many bowls of noodles consumed on this trip were yellow bami noodles, which I crave when I’m on keto (I’m off due to uni trips at the moment, so game on!). What made this bowl stand out were the type of noodles used…

    Firefox has big issues with ChatGPT

    July 6, 2025 /

    I basically lost two days of work on a textbook because of Firefox. I just switched back to Firefox from Chrome. Fuck. Hello, Opera, my old friend. Pro tip: If you experience a sudden slowdown, stupidity, hallucinations, or other issues with ChatGPT, try using it with a Chromium-based browser. ———–Below is some GPT shit. ⚠️ Why Firefox Sometimes Causes ChatGPT Issues ChatGPT’s web app heavily relies on modern JavaScript frameworks, dynamic APIs, WebSockets, and real-time interactions. While Firefox is generally excellent, it can sometimes experience issues with: 🛑 Common Firefox-Specific Symptoms (Exactly Matching Yours): These precisely match your described scenario—sudden issues after previously stable performance, including looping, hallucinations, and severe…

    Pickle carrier

    July 4, 2025 /

    Pickle’s son, Marmalade, sadly passed a while back, and they were both afflicted with some strain of flu. This made them weak and moody. I took Pickle to the vet several times over the course of a few months, and she got even more annoying and meowy in the car than she normally is… But she sure is a cute derp sometimes.

    Dall-e can’t spell (humans can’t spell)

    June 25, 2025 /

    Asking ChatGPT to generate line drawings for my textbook resulted in the curious and repeated misspelling of the word “performed” (never mind the “s” missing from “actions”). At first it left out the “f,” and then the “r.” Asking it to correct the mistake caused it to regenerate the exact same graphic several times. When asked why this was happening, Chat GPT responded with: The image model isn’t a true spelling checker. It “draws” letters based on patterns it’s seen, and sometimes misrenders them, especially in words that aren’t visually distinct or are less frequent in visual training datasets. I said just get it done, man. So ChatGPT got clever…

    I went on an excursion to the nearby town of Kut Lang on a social development training course for our students. This consisted of locals gathering at a temple, Wat Nong Saen Nuea, and showing off their handmade product crafting skills while students watched and asked questions, with the intention of offering improvement strategies at a future date. For me, however, this meant a chance to do a side quest and add a new skill, so I embraced it and sat on the concrete floor and learned to weave dried bamboo strips and reeds for five hours. The old ladies were surprised that a foreigner was so interested in their…

    Andor made Star Wars relevant to me again, after ignoring everything that came out the past years. It was really good, especially because I followed it up with Rogue One (and almost A New Hope as well, but I prefer to keep that one in my mind’s Pee-Chee folders/bubble memory). Anil Dash has a great run down of all the extras.

    Max took private Muay Thai lessons when he came back during the summer last year. He really enjoyed it, especially since private lessons in the states are too expensive. His gym and teacher were the same from when he studied with Mina when they were bobies.
