The thing about upright bass is that you must play it on a regular basis. At least several times a week, ideally daily. It requires quite a bit of strength and it’s very easy to lose those muscles again – at least I don’t use them that much otherwise. 🤣 I’ve been through several cycles of “gain strength → lose strength → goto 0” now …

slowing working away at my latest code project: learning PHP by recreating the 2000s fandom mainstay known as a fanlisting! it’s been super fun i added a dynamic nav bar and other modifications in the latest commit

fanlistings even to this day rely on old PHP scripts dating back to the early 2000s that need whole ass mySQL or postgres DBs and are incredibly insecure. you can look at them here they’re like super jank lol it’s sad that new fanlistings have to use them because there’s no other options….

We havet an AI assistant at work, new version came out today “nearby restaurant recommendations” mentioned. Gotta try that!

Ask it where I can get a burger, knowing there’s 3 spots that had it on the menu, AI says there’s none. Ask it to list all the restaurants nearby it can check… it knows 3, of the 10 or so around, but 1/3, even has a burger, on the menu.

Ask it to list the whole menu at restaurant 1: it hallucinates random meals, none of which they had (I ate there).

Restaurant 2 (the one most people go to, so they must have at least tested it with this one): it lists the soup of the day and ¾ meals available. Incomplete, but better than false.

Restaurant 3: it says “food” and gives a general description of food. You have to be fucking kidding me!

bon en fait mon script pour convertir ma bibliothèque en mp3 faisait du caca. J’ai revu ma copie en 3 parties : rsync des fichiers, find avec print0 pour la conversion et éviter les soucis de noms de fichier, xargs pour convertir plusieurs fichiers en parallèle, find pour supprimer les fichiers d’origine. Pas très efficace, prend de la place, mais ça marche…

In Spain, electricity has already been restored. Amazing experience! Luckily, I will only have to throw away some food. But there are stories of all kinds. It has been 12 hours where we have gone back to the middle ages.
