parimal7··on Trump to impose $100k fee for H-1B worker visas, White House says
Reddit and internet forums have a bias for negative anecdotes.
parimal7··on Why LLMs can't really build software
Has been my experience as well, never used ChatGPT for anything but as an interface to external documentations and understanding unfamiliar syntax.

Tried using it for the first time for vibe coding and was quite disappointed with the overall result, felt like a college student hastily copy pasting code from different sources for a project due tomorrow.

Maybe I just gave bad prompts…

parimal7··on Apertus – Open-Source Camera
Back in 2019, I submitted a GSOC proposal for Apertus. They wanted to add frame serving capability [1] to their RAW image processing software OpenCine [2]. Even though my proposal was rejected, I ended up learning a lot from their coding challenge [3] which was mandatory for submitting a proposal.

Reading research papers to understand Demosaicing [4], learning C++ coding guidelines, RAW file format, code reviews and feedback from Andrej and others at Apertus was really fun. At the time I was still a sophomore at college so I asked and made a ton of mistakes. Thanks Andrej [5] and team for being patient with so many of us! :)

EOC has no place in Runescape which has a global tick system. Ability usage feels sluggish compared to other games.
parimal7··on Atlassian to shed 5 per cent of workers
I can no longer tell the difference between most HN and Reddit comments. Shallow, hateful and opinionated.
parimal7··on Gaming CS Interviews
Recently gave an interview where they asked me to open my Leetcode profile, and checked if there are any prior submissions to the asked questions. ¯\(ツ)/¯
parimal7··on Using Emacs in an IDE World
I switched from ansi-term to vterm (https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm) and its performance is much better (specially when dealing with large bursts of output).
