grozmovoi··on Poland's Most Famous Dish: Pierogi
"Ruskie" vs "Rosyjskie" is a difference between common speech and more proper grammar, but in regular usage of the language they both mean the adjective "Russian". I'm native.
grozmovoi··on Poland's Most Famous Dish: Pierogi
I'm born and raised in Poland until I was 22, and I visit often. Now living abroad.

Pierogi Ruskie is my #1 food when going back. That cheese filling with onion + a good dollop of sour cream. They are the best pierogi for me.

you can upload zips. Make a new GPT and go to the custom settings.
grozmovoi··on Ask HN: I'm a SWE without a CS degree. Will online certs help me get into FAANG?
I'm an alumni of https://bradfieldcs.com/, and it enabled plenty of us to prepare to work at FAANGs. The courses aren't really for that though, but if you were to take one (I strongly recommend CSI), you will find yourself surrounded by people who crave knowledge and betterment of their craft and are very driven about their careers.

The CSI course itself isn't a FAANG prep nor will you take interviewing or leetcode classes.

Here's a free version (and larger in volume of knowledge) of what CSI offers to enable you to understand and interact with: teachyourselfcs.com/

lol the irony
grozmovoi··on Show HN: Odin – the integration of LLMs with Obsidian note taking
> It lets me clear my mind of all of the random things that pop up so I can focus more on the tasks at hand.

I think this is key here. It's the same for me. If I don't dump my thoughts int o an organized form they will nag me. When I write them down (and about most of them, I forget or delete later), it allows me to work on the task at hand. If I don't, I end up thinking about all the avenues of exploration of those ideas, todos, etc...

It's akin to how instead of keeping those thoughts in RAM I put them in my SSD. RAM is just for what's happening now.

grozmovoi··on Teaching with AI
That's how I've been using it for a week now to clarify certain concepts from computer science that I always had little confidence in and it has been excellent.
grozmovoi··on ChatGPT Is Down
yeah I have been using it so much that I definitely know when it's down.
grozmovoi··on Runme – Interactive Runbooks Built with Markdown
While in principle I agree with the usefulness of this approach I wonder about how actually it benefits orgs and projects.

Seems to me that the fact that there exist extensive runbooks that are maintained separately from the scripts of the project that either duplicate actions between them or those just only exist in runbooks are massive smells.

grozmovoi··on UltiSnips – Snippet Solution for Vim
point for utilsnips
grozmovoi··on UltiSnips – Snippet Solution for Vim
that's valid
grozmovoi··on UltiSnips – Snippet Solution for Vim
I wonder how the health of this project will be affected by cody/copilot? Genuinely wondering if it's wort spending time setting up ultisnips vs. learning to use copilot well.

Like, I prefer to have my own snippets and set them up the way I want, but hey - the convenience of LLMs... idk

grozmovoi··on Vim Boss
I think this is one of the main important things about vim. The longer it exists , the longer it will. It has outlived so many modern text editors. I hope that it lives on as long as I live and longer.

grozmovoi··on The unix69 keyboard layout: nerdy and nice
I like this layout. I'm used to the F keys tho...
grozmovoi··on Remote work requires communicating more, but less frequently
Absolutely agree. I think remote engineering work is a skill that is hard to acquire when you're very junior.
grozmovoi··on ChatGPT trying to convert hexadecimal to an int
That's true. It does not acknowledge this limitation when communicating with the user, even when I prompted the model with suggestions.
grozmovoi··on ChatGPT trying to convert hexadecimal to an int
It's interesting how the formulas for the conversion are correct, but the result keeps being missed.
grozmovoi··on Borges: The Library of Babel [pdf]
ah that looks great! Does it go into a possible implementation of it? I have been toying with the idea of making one but I lack the training and I'd love some guidance.

as a pole, I confirm this is polish.
