I've only used an LLM (you can guess which one) once to write code. Mostly because I didn't feel like writing down some numbers and making a little drawing for myself to solve the problem.
And because a friend insisted that it writes code just fine.
But it didn't. It confidently didn't. Instead, it made up something weird and kept telling me that it had now “fixed” the problem, when in reality it was trying random fixes that were related to the error message but had nothing to do with the actual core problem. It just guessed and prayed.
In the end, I solved the problem in 10 minutes with a small scribble and a pen. And most of the time was spend drawing small boxes, because my solution relied on a coordinate system, I needed to visualize.
Isn't it mostly 9*10+2? 9 * ty (implying 10) + 2.
Even german does that, although weirdly the way you can't just write down long numbers reasily one by one: Zwei (2) und ((and) neun- (9) -zig (*10)).
Half-Life Alyx looks fantastic. It's a modern but faithful representation of the Half-Life universe. You can jump from HL2 to Alyx and feel like you're part of the same narrative and story. Even though there are almost two decades in between.
Half-Life RTX has more polygons, higher-resolution textures and a much more resource-hungry lighting system. The entire Half-Life universe was cast as a cameo to star in another guys remake.
Shaped charges are extremly good for wiping larger clusters.
These two are cool tho'.
If you are non-german or OOTL: One refuses to bite a demonstrator (who is protesting against Nazis) even though it is literally shoved into one, and the other one just bites another cop.
Whatever I have on hand or fit's the dish.
Mostly rapeseed oil, sometimes olive oil. When I first started (before I was able to just guess), I put a drop of water in the pan. As soon as the water started to boil, I added the oil and was ready to go.
Nothing stuck for quite a while. But if it did, sometimes it was enough to wait a bit for everything to release by itself.
Aside from that: butter. Butter does some magic.
And you don't even have to use a cast iron. I've been cooking on stainless steel for a decade. I chuck it in the dishwasher when I'm done.
And as long as it's oiled and hot, nothing sticks; not even eggs or fish. Especially if you use butter. But oil's just fine.

I finally managed to pollinate my cherimoya!
For the uninitiated: Pollinating cherimoyas is a bit tricky, because their flowers only bloom for a single day. During this time, they are initially female and can absorb pollen, but only turn male in the evening to harvest pollen from.
To pollinate them successfully, you have to sacrifice at least one flower, take its pollen and hope that the next flower opens before the pollen is no longer viable.
They also develop large velvety leaves:
TLDR: Citrus keeps turning black and oozing resin. But I can't find the problem. I thought it must be root rot, but they look perfectly healthy:
Long version: Because my first and second citrus trees fell victim to root rot, I started using a very airy substrate made of pine bark, perlite and some humus/worm castings in a 5:1:1 ratio for all my plants (figs, pineapple, cherimoya, monstera, etc.) with little adjustment. You may recognize this as 'aroid mix'. But it works surprisingly well in my indoor space with a west-facing window and terracotta planters (and my tendency to overwater).
But I can't wrap my head around citrus.
It always starts with rapid growth, followed by very suddenly dropping and crisping leaves, black stems and finally death.
I thought I must be root rot again, which I need to mind during winter. But today, when I dumped my fifth (!) tree, I found only perfectly healthy roots and nice smelling substrate.
I think it must be a pathogen… but what? I am at a loss. I keep killing my citrus trees and I don't know why. :'(
EDIT: replaced "5:1:1 mix" with "5:1:1 ratio" for clearification.
One of my smaller monstera pots keeps growing these little mushrooms and I'm wondering what exactly they are.
They come after every watering and dry off pretty quickly in about half a day or so.
EDIT: They are 'fairy inkcaps'. Thanks to [email protected]!
