the type of noise that bothers me the most living in an area with lots of nightlife is all the dumb pointless (intoxicated) fighting over random nothingburger drama you overhear

watching Claude often feels a bit like watching that 60y/o guy who's an absolute genius miles ahead of you at getting the job done, but whose arcane tool choices regularly make you go "damn bi***, you live like this?!"

My favourite bit of trivia is still that the self-service luggage belts at Munich airport, when you put it to russian, show you occasionally not the translations, but rather transcriptions, i.e. for "Gewicht" it just writtes it in cyrillic as "Гевихт", not "весь". Same with "Fertig" - "Фертиг".

my memory is quite weird sometimes, I was playing around with some specific data and tool and thought "six years ago this guy at a party told me he'd spent three days doing something manually that this would have solved in fifteen minutes" — I remember nothing else about said guy

one reason why it can be hard to figure out what you want to do with your life is that most discussions of what you could do with your life are entirely decoupled from this kind of day-to-day texture of the work
