mileycyrusXOXO··on Artemis II Launch Day Updates
That’s awesome! I want to go watch IV in person
mileycyrusXOXO··on From zero to a RAG system: successes and failures
I did something similar to this for all the Cosmere stuff. I wanted to be able to find answers but only with the information I had read been exposed to so far. I didn't want to risk going to the wiki and getting spoilers for things I haven't read yet. It wasn't anything fancy, it was just giving the agent access to all the text I had read up to my current chapter. Probably too much context for it to handle efficiently - would be awesome to take it one step further and do it proper
mileycyrusXOXO··on How I made a shooter game in 64 KB
This is impressive on so many levels. I especially like how he casually created a VM to save 2Kb

I’m a full stack dev with 13+ years experience building everything from enterprise applications to VR / AR apps (even firmware for margarita machines ). I’ve led teams to build scalable cloud apps by providing a solid architecture, strong design patterns, reusable abstractions and accessibility guidelines. Teaching helped me realize I'm energized by mentoring others and supporting my team’s development.

LMK if you think I'd be a good fit!

mileycyrusXOXO··on Questions censored by DeepSeek
Is it just running on a 256gb server w/ CPU or do you have GPUs as well? I think I'm going to stand up a server tomorrow to do some testing myself
mileycyrusXOXO··on TikTok preparing for U.S. shut-off on Sunday
For years people have dogged on North Korea, Iran, China and Russia talking about how the government controls information by banning apps and by creating firewalls blocking access to parts of the internet. Now when the US introduces censorship people like you welcome it with open arms. Something of value is lost, our ability to access information freely

"The internet is obviously a massive national security risk, and I find it funny people don't see that"

"Libraries are obviously a massive national security risk, and I find it funny people don't see that."

I'd rather be able to choose to consume propaganda than for than the government to be able to decide what I should and should not consume.
mileycyrusXOXO··on TikTok preparing for U.S. shut-off on Sunday
That's a poor analogy. It's more like they censor their citizens so we should censor ours!

Exactly, Instagram started as a way for me to interact with my social circle. Show people I personally know what is going on in my life and see what is going on in their life. Instagram later on has slowly tried evolving into something else, but mentally I still view it as a place to share with people in my life. On the other hand, Tiktok is a both a global community and a small niche of people who share the same interests as you where you can make memes, enjoy the same content together, converse and witness trends and ideas in real time

mileycyrusXOXO··on Hyper-realistic digital humans in Unity
If anything Escape From Tarkov proves why Unity is not a robust game engine. I’m a huge Tarkov player, but that game is riddled with issues.
mileycyrusXOXO··on A submarine made from IKEA jar and legos
"legos" is an acceptable plural to "Lego bricks". Language evolves with common usage. Colloquially, the overwhelming majority of people refer to a brick as a "lego" and bricks as "legos".
mileycyrusXOXO··on It takes $420k per year to run Lichess
I think Stockfish usually runs clientside but it does look like they do some server side too

mileycyrusXOXO··on Thunderbird 91
I thought it had been laid to rest by Mozilla a few years back, looks like I was mistaken.
mileycyrusXOXO··on Google has a secret deal with FB called “Jedi Blue” that they knew was illegal
Not every discussion needs to be held in a formal context. It’s okay to have casual conversations
mileycyrusXOXO··on Things I’ve learned in my 20 years as a software engineer
Working a full time job with family and hobbies is incredibly time consuming. I'm not going to squeeze in 6-10 hours of interviews for a company before I ask an important questions about company culture, PTO, benefits, salary etc. I'll ask the questions I find important in the first interview, if it isn't a good fit I just saved me hours of time interviewing at a company I don't want to work at - and I just saved hours of interviewing an employee they don't want to have.

Even if you don’t like or use it, chess.com is a very popular platform with a very large user base
mileycyrusXOXO··on MDN Plus
Mozilla just let me donate directly to fund the projects I love.

instead of creating all these services that I’m not really sure if the money is going to the whole company or actually supporting development of these product I use

I would donate to MDN, I would donate to Firefox development

mileycyrusXOXO··on Welcome Yari: MDN Web Docs has a new platform
MDN is one of the most important websites in my day to day life a change like this makes me nervous. Hopefully it is for the better - but I'm worried it might be for the worse.

mileycyrusXOXO··on LinkedIn sued over allegation it secretly reads Apple users' clipboard content
How am I supposed to use a password manager if I can't copy paste?
mileycyrusXOXO··on Deno 1.0
I prefer a unix approach where each tool does a single thing.

The runtime does runtime things and someone can build a package manager to do package manager things.

The benefit of having runtime + package management bundled into one is you have an opinionated and standard way of doing things - the downside is if the package manager stinks then the whole ecosystem stinks.
