My recent experiment with LLMs to aid my studies.
Not too long ago I started doing something similar. I feed the LLM a url or a pdf, and then ask it to generate a questionnaire.
It's easier for me to ingest content about a subject by having in mind a couple of questions about said subject.
I haven't yet dealt with hallucinations. 10/10

Kubernetes the hard way completed.
Having done that, I have become more understanding about how long it takes for GCP or AWS to provision a Kubernetes cluster.

“Dear friend, you have built a Kubernetes” - this is a great write up of the slippery slope many people go down because they think k8s is too complex. Not saying it can work everywhere but this is a common story. (h/t to @timothysc.bsky.social for finding it)

It took me a while to finally add this, but 0x45.st finally has a web based form for submissions rather than being solely API based. Turns out API's are nice some of the time, but sometimes you just want to copy paste into a form. #WhoKnew

How do you check if an executable binary compiled from Golang code is static or dynamically linked?
Do you know the side effects of using the os/user, and net packages?
