When you have too many toys.
If you’re looking for prefab, just get a bottle of Kewpie Deep Roasted Sesame dressing and marinade: https://www.kewpieshop.com/products/deep-roasted-sesame
Doesn’t matter how you cook the chicken. Bake, BBQ, sous-vide. Just slather some of this afterward on top. It’s like goddamn crack.
Have found it in many places, from local supermarket, to Trader Joe’s, Costco, 99 Ranch, even Dollar General. Costco’s is cheaper in bulk, but they don’t always carry it. Also good on pasta or rice with veggies and ANY protein, including tofu. Baked salmon. Check.
Only caveats: don’t cook with it in oven (smokes). Add it afterward. Also, don’t overuse it.
Years ago. Client on-site meeting had run long past lunch. Was in a hurry to drive back home and beat the traffic. It was 1-hour normally, but 2-3x during rush hour.
Saw a sign for a ‘natural’ market. Pulled in. They had an open-face cooler with prepackaged foods and drinks. Sandwiches looked a bit stale. Grabbed a ‘Fresh Vietnamese Shrimp Spring Roll’ and a drink. Hopped on the freeway. Ate in the car.
Never Again.
PS: Still got stuck in traffic.

Software guy. Most productive/distraction free time of the day is mid-afternoon. Drinking at lunch would just take that zone away and push everything to the next day.
Happy to wait till 5pm, or whenever feels like a good time to do a git push.
Say it isn’t so…

2312·4 days agoI’ve always appreciated the feature of AI coding tools, where they confidently tell you they’ve done something completely wrong. Then if you call them on it, they super-confidently say: “Of course, here’s what needs to be done…”
Then proceed to do something even worse.
There’s a very simple solution to autonomous driving vehicles plowing into walls, cars, or people:
Congress will pass a law that makes NOBODY liable – as long as a human wasn’t involved in the decision making process during the incident.
This will be backed by car makers, software providers, and insurance companies, who will lobby hard for it. After all, no SINGLE person or company made the decision to swerve into oncoming traffic. Surely they can’t be held liable. 🤷🏻♂️
Once that happens, Level 4 driving will come standard and likely be the default mode on most cars. Best of luck everyone else!

So… if you own an inexpensive Alexa device, it just doesn’t have the horsepower to process your requests on-device. Your basic $35 device is just a microphone and a wifi streamer (ok, it also handles buttons and fun LED light effects). The Alexa device SDK can run on a $5 ESP-32. That’s how little it needs to work on-site.
Everything you say is getting sent to the cloud where it is NLP processed, parsed, then turned into command intents and matched against the devices and services you’ve installed. It does a match against the phrase ‘slots’ and returns results which are then turned into voice and played back on the speaker.
With the new LLM-based Alexa+ services, it’s all on the cloud. Very little of the processing can happen on-device. If you want to use the service, don’t be surprised the voice commands end up on the cloud. In most cases, it already was.
If you don’t like it, look into Home Assistant. But last I checked, to keep everything local and not too laggy, you’ll need a super beefy (expensive) local home server. Otherwise, it’s shipping your audio bits out to the cloud as well. There’s no free lunch.
