xor should toggle?


That's correct, a toUpper would just use OR.


I left out that the line before there was a check to make sure the input byte was between ‘a’ and ‘z’. This ensures that if the char is already upper case, you don’t do an extraneous OR. And at this point, OR, XOR, or even a subtract 0x20 would work. For some reason the LLM thought the XOR was faster.

I honestly wouldn’t have thought anything of it if I hadn’t seen it written as `b ^ 0x20`.


Incorporated a cli AI to my daily work. Just impressive, was working on some networking code, I could think of 100 ways to stress test it, then I ‘prompted’? AI to implement those ideas, found many issues, hangs. Shared agent those, asked it to add prints, retest, improve my implementation. Now I got a good solution in a day. Previously this would take a week at least with my worrying about all the things I could test, improve…


Good question, if it is such.

We keep a rabbit indoors, free roaming in the house, now for 7 years, I expect he will do 10+

Would you prefer to live freely for 6 months or have a hopefully comfortable life for ten times more. Before anyone jumping to say “freedom!” why don’t you do it already? Why are you keeping your body prisoner indoors?


YOU keep a rabbit indoors.

I do not blindly believe in a long life being a good life at all. Where is this argument coming from?

And yes I'm trying to use my time but I'm also from Europe and have 32 days of holiday per year and thinking about a sabbatical


> Why are you keeping your body prisoner indoors?

What does this even mean in the context of humans? People do go outside.


How do you measure/calculate 6GB/s?


For me it is a state of mind.


I remember asking to my friend how do you use ‘nc’ in Linux and he answering “type ‘mc’”.


I might miss visual aspects of CRTs, but I mean most of them had a coil sound or some kind of cracking sound. May be as TVs, screens for gaming consoles they were fun, but as monitors I don’t miss the heat burning my face.


> I’m not really out of time or energy or attention

Similar…

I think it is because you intuitively learn that you need to have some buffer of energy for crises.

I get that some families are lucky but these are the ages that health problems and losses starts to show up. Even more for your parents. Every year it is something…


African or European swallow?
