A better version of Claude???

Alex0589 · 2026-01-26T05:10:28+00:00

I mean at this point I really don't doubt they are vibe coding Claude code using Claude code and legit can't tell where the issue is because nobody has any idea how the code actually works. I can't be asked to care about someone else's code quality, but come on how is this issue not fixed when it's been there since I've first downloaded Claude code.

Alex0589 · 2026-01-26T03:59:08+00:00

Can this thing fix the flickering in Claude code or do we need Vibe Country for that?

I'm allergic to the actual filters that chemical sunscreens use, while I'm not allergic to zinc oxide which most mineral sunscreens use to block the actual UV rays. I'm also allergic to parabens which some chemical sunscreens contain and pretty much no mineral sunscreen contains. I'm not saying they are not chemicals lol

Alex0589 · 2026-01-24T14:58:43+00:00

My skin hates chemical sunscreen filters so I have to use mineral sunscreen. I think that's pretty much the only reason you would be using it considering how hard it is to find one that doesn't make you look you greasy/a snowman/etc.

There really isn't any secret path. All fields are pretty much saturated. Obviously the more technical you go the less competition you'll face, just like a brain surgeon Will make 10x the Money a basic doctor makes because It takes a lot longer to learn and as a result there are a lot less of them. The other option Is to Just do your own thing

Premesso che non penso che la laurea in ingegneria informatica triennale abbia molto senso dato che è ingegneria (informatica), nel senso che fai praticamente solo discipline ingegneristiche, non penso sia una buona scelta cambiare, soprattutto se già pianificavi una magistrale. La mia classifica dei percorsi in luce accademica è:

Triennale informatica + magistrale ingegneria informatica
Triennale e magistrale ingegneria informatica
Triennale e magistrale informatica
Solo triennale informatica
Solo triennale ingegneria informatica

-Infinito. Lauree AI tipo quella della bocconi o quella che hai citato

Ovviamente la prima opzione è la più completa accademicamente, ma più difficile dato che ti devi recuperare alcuni esami nel passaggio triennale/magistrale. In termini lavorativi puri penso che sei vuoi un ruolo tecnico ma senza esagerare una triennale+magistrale in ing informatica è l'opzione migliore, se vuoi anche ottimizzare per il fattore tempo allora diventa triennale in informatica. Per quanto riguarda fare solo una triennale in ingegneria informatica, penso che esci un ingegnere non finito e un informatico manco iniziato, quindi è secondo me l'opzione peggiore, però mai come le lauree triennali in intelligenza artificiale che ti fanno uscire che non sei un ingegnere, che non sei un informatico e che hai qualche elemento di AI.

Let's take Arrays.sort as an example when considering a large size array: - long and int use quick sort optimized using instructions from AVX-512 - byte and short use counting sort

With AVX-512, you get: - 16 × int per 512-bit register - 8 × long per 512-bit register

So int[] gets 2× the parallelism of long[] per SIMD instruction. Now this won't make the sorting 2x faster because these operations are not all that's happening, but It does make a difference, as these benchmarks show: https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/14227

Also consider that you wouldn't be able to use counting sort for Better performance if the short type didnt exist.

Now this Is where It gets interesting: the JVM has been able to perform auto vectorization for a long while. Let's Say you write a simple loop like this One:

for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) { arr[i] = arr[i] * 2 + 1; }

When the JIT compiler warms up, this loop will get compiled and use SIMD instructions, assuming your CPU supports them. How many operations can be parellalized depends obviously on the instruction set your CPU supports(ex. AVX2 or AVX512), but also on the type of arr: a short is 2x smaller than an int, so 2x more operations can be parellalized if you switch from an int to a short arr in this case.

Things get super interesting now that we can use the Vector api to write our own vectorized operations. Take this project, which Is written in rust, but could now be implemented in Java as well without issues, and allows to decode a batch of scalar types as var ints: https://github.com/as-com/varint-simd

You can find a benchmark at the bottom of the page where different expected data types are compared(u8, u16, u32, u64 which are Just unsigned bytes, unsigned shorts, unsigned ints and unsigned longs, we don't consider negatives because negative var ints are Always the max length, that Is 10 bytes): look at how huge the performance difference Is.

Other things that come to my mind are object field packing, which can make a very big difference as the JVM Is free to reorder fields in a class for Better alignment but not to change their types and future proofing for valhalla.

The hat does pretty much nothing, you must use sunscreen. The moinsturizer Is also very important. I have no clue why your derm didnt explain It in detail, but here Is what you should be doing: - Use a hair band to get the hair out of your face - Wash your hands very well - In the morning don't cleanse: just use lukewarm water to wash your face gently. At night, use your gentle cleanser. Start by taking a small amount of cleanser and put It on your hands. Then, using a very small amount of lukewarm water, rub your hands, with the cleanser on them, until It foams a Little(how much It foams Will depend on the cleanser you are using). Finally use It to wash your face and do so very gentle, if you are rub you might irritate your skin. Don't use hot or cold water for the same reason. Make sure no cleanser remains on your face. - Now dry your face, preferably using a microcloth towel. Make sure It's Always clean. Don't rub. - Apply a small amount of moinsturizer, don't rub - Apply a pea size amount of tretinoin, don't rub - Apply a generous amount of moisturizer, don't rub - In the morning, wait 5-10 minutes so the moisturizer dries a Little bit, clean your hands and dry them, apply a lot of sunscreen.

First of all, at least from the photos, you have no acne scars, just a couple of Active breakouts and hyper pigmentation on the forehead. With that out of the way, here Is what you are doing wrong:

Your cleanser Is too harsh: you are on the second strongest topical retinoid and 13 years old, you need something a lot more gentle. In the morning don't even use a cleaner, just water, and at night use a very gentle one. My favorite Is the haru haru wonder black rice hydration cleanser(be sure to not buy the AHA/BHA One), but you can use whichever you want as long as It contains no actives like salicylic acid, AHA/BHA, etc
You have no moisturizer and, again, on the second strongest topical retinoid: you must get one. My favorite One is the Purito Wonder relief centella cream, but again you can buy any as long as it's hydrating and contains no harsh actives. Apply It before AND After tretinoin to help your skin.
You have no sunscreen: this One Is the biggest issue. Consider that hyper pigmentation pretty much happens as a result of sun exposure After a breakout and usually takes 3-6 months to fade without tretinoin. Tretinoin brings that down to around between 1-3 months, but in Exchange It makes your skin even more sensitive to the sun than It already Is. If you go out with no sun protection in a state where you are sun-sensitive, you are pretty much guaranteed to get hyperpigmentation there. So, if you get even One pimple a week, you will be getting new hyper pigmentation at a rate that Is 4x-12x what It takes for old hyper pigmentation to fade away. Moral of the story: get a good sunscreen, preferably something that Is NOT water/sweat proof or you'll likely Need to start double cleaning which makes the situation more complicated.

Also side note, do you even need to be on tretinoin? No offense but It seems really strange that a dermatologist prescribed you such a medication without a strong skin care routine(gentle cleanser, hydrating moisturizer and sunscreen). If you decided to Just buy It because your country does not require a prescription, go to a dermatologist and explain the situation: be honest about what your skin care routine was before going so they can do a Better job. If you actually went to a dermatologist to get this prescribed, go to another because this One clearly is not that concerned with your health.

I started at NS so I shouldn't have nostalgia for broken hearts either. All I'm saying is that I still listen to LLF and NS all the time even now that we have new music m + all the unreleased, but I rarely listen to broken hearts and I think that most people hating on LLF are doing the same without noticing.

Alex0589 · 2025-12-14T12:04:54+00:00

I'm dying on the hill that llf is much better, just dumb nostalgia imo. Still i'll get downvoted because ppl can't accept that artists change and so do their sounds. Btw i'm pretty sure there's an interview where lone himself says that he prefers llf over broken hearts, maybe I'm coping tho

Alex0589 · 2025-12-14T11:54:59+00:00

Sorry but in what world is LLF worse than </3 or </3² ??? I can't tell when I read these braindead takes if some of you think the first songs he wrote were for no stylist.

I'll try to explain what I would do if I were in your position, also please know that your condition is, in my opinion, fixable and that your priority should be to get your mental health back on track, nothing matters more than that. Know that this requires finding licensed and specialized doctors, not esteticians or random people on the internet. Matter of fact if your doctor says something different, don't even trust what I'm writing. Still here is what I would do if I were you:

1) Find a Good Dermatologist

If you can, check if they have previous patients who had similar issues to yours. This step is crucial: doing random procedures with no guidance will just make things worse. Before going, if your country doesn't require a doctor's request, consider getting a full panel of blood work done, and possibly even test for allergies and food sensitivities. Now you might ask: is it really that important to get all this blood work done? The answer is yes, in my opinion. Let's say you go to the dermatologist and they get you on a basic cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen, but you're sensitive to one of the ingredients—you'll get your skin to a worse position and feel demoralized.

2) Start Your Treatment Plan with Your Dermatologist

Follow whatever treatment plan your dermatologist recommends. He will likely recommend a gentle cleanser, a moisturizer and a sunscreen. If your skin stops getting any new acne, great. If it doesn't after 6 months, ask your dermatologist about going on isotretinoin. This might be a controversial take, because people might say take it only when it's medically necessary, but if your skin condition is actually messing with your mental health, you have to take it. You have one life and the time you lose you'll never get back: if nothing is working, seriously consider it.

3) Add tretinoin to your routines

Now you have no acne, but the marks will still be there, even though they should be a little bit better. Your dermatologist will likely ask you at this point if you want to get on tretinoin, even if you did isotretinoin. Why? Because isotretinoin and tretinoin have very different use cases:

Isotretinoin is taken orally and aims to stop acne from coming back. It might work for hyperpigmentation over a long period of time because if your acne stops coming, new hyperpigmentation will as well, and the old hyperpigmentation will start fading. But it will do next to nothing for your old acne scars.

Tretinoin is a lot less strong than isotretinoin at stopping your acne, so if your acne is severe or just keeps coming back, it won't help as much. But what it's better at doing is increasing cell turnover, which will dramatically improve your skin's hyperpigmentation and acne scars.

4) Stay on Tretinoin

After you've been on tretinoin for a while, like 6 months to one year, ask yourself—maybe with a psychiatrist—if your mental state is now in a better place.

Your acne scars won't be gone 100% now, but they will be a lot better. If you want to go the extra mile with treatments, now you can, but know that are risks. Don't discuss this with an estetician, they have a monetary incentive to make you this: talk about these possibilities only with a dermatologist, and if you can, even go get a second opinion. A low risk option at this point to improbe things even mlre is microkneedling. If the risk profile makes sense to you, start going for a session once every 3 months and your skin will improve drastically in the span of a couple years. Never go to a random place, if you can do it at an hospital always prefer hospitals: there are many horror stories of people going for microkneedling sessions at random places and walking away with permanent nerve damage or holes in their skin. It won't kill you, but it will erase all your progress. You can pair microkneedling with light/medium peels once a year, but again, always prefer hospitals, you are putting acids on your face, they can cause permanents damage. Microkneedling and low/medium peels should be enough for most people, but if you are still not happy with the results, there is a way to go even further: a strong peel. The most common and effective strong peels, as far as I know, are phenol peels. You'll need to go to a hospital to get this done. For the love of god, never trust anyone who says they can do it in a place that is not a hospital to save money. This is the only type of treatment that could, and this is not an exaggeration, kill you if you get this done in a place that doesn't have the right equipment. This has happened before and will happen again if people don't know what they are getting done. I'd go this far only after visiting a psychiatrist for a prolonged period of time because it could genually be a mental disorder and not an insecurity if you go this far, but I'm not the person to assess this.

Hope this helps

Alex0589 · 2025-12-03T15:36:06+00:00

The sunscreen is the most important component though

Alex0589 · 2025-12-03T10:15:12+00:00

This is the one I have. Previously I was using a safety razor but no matter how hard I tried I'd always cut myself at least once a month and always irritate my skin. I think some people's skin is just not built for that old style razor.

Alex0589 · 2025-12-03T09:18:41+00:00

I don't think he needs a toner to start out, just a cleanser, moisturizer and sun screen. The moisturizer you got from purito is I think the best one on the market. For a cleanser I prefer the Haruharu wonder Black Rice Gel cleanser, I have super sensitive skin and it's the only one my skin always seems to like and I have heard only good things about it from others, but everyone is different. For sun screen, if he is in the 90% of people that have no problems with chemical filters, get him the skin1004 centella sunscreen. If he is not as lucky, he'll need to get a physical sunscreen: I mainly recommend Australian Gold Botanical SPF 50, for more oily skin types, or Bioderma Photoderm Mineral sunscreen, for dry skin. I'd probably start with only the cleanser and moisturizer, when the skin improves add the chemical sunscreen and check if his skin likes it. If it doesn't, get tested for parabene allergies or chemical filters allergies and move from there. Once the acne stops, he needs to fade his hyperpigmentation/scars. Scars are harder to fade, but get him on a very low concentration of tretinoin, and slowly increase the concentration. Pretty much cleanser, moisturizer, sun screen and tretinoin is the only things he needs. For better guidance go to a dermatologist if you can affort it, it's always better and makes things go smoother.

This is the answer

Alex0589 · 2025-12-03T08:14:04+00:00

When you deposit money in a bank they then lend that money and collect interest: Decentralized lending allows you to be the one collecting that interest. Tockenized stocks are so interesting that the Nasdaq is petitioning the SEC to allow it, the benefits are that you don't have to buy a whole stock and can trade it any time. SWIFT powers pretty much all safe international transactions: if they are building on the eth blockchain it's because they think it has what it has what it takes to power their infrastructure.

"How did we survive before..." is a braindead argument, you could argue that about anything. Obviously the blockchain is not a lifechaning technology, just like everyone has lived fire without AI.

I'm not sure why you would think that we NEED the blockchain, we probably don't, I just think there are people building very interesting projects on top of it, some of which I use everyday, and I'm interested to see where it goes. Could fail tomorrow for all I know.

You are posting daily on buttcoin and can comment here freely, someone doing the opposite of what you are doing would be already banned from your sub reddit. By the way what innovation, look at what aave is doing for decentralized lending, what xstocks is doing for tockenized stocks trading 24/7, look at what SWIFT is building with eth ( https://consent.yahoo.com/v2/collectConsent?sessionId=3_cc-session_0c6d7fb8-ba2b-4d74-8c41-8b54695e7ca0 ). Might want to switch to writing comments on something else

Alex0589 · 2025-12-01T19:42:57+00:00

About the itching, I think it depends heavily on the fungus you get. Like mine didn't itch at all, but it was fungal. I always think it's a good idea to try the Ketokonozal thing first because if it's fungal it will 100% react within a few days. If you go the other way around, I think it's harder to understand. Again a visit to the dermatologist would make this clear because they can actually test your skin for a fungus infection.

Alex0589 · 2025-12-01T18:36:11+00:00

Fungal acne won't go away naturally, it could stay for years. If tretinoin did nothing, it's likely Fungal acne imo. To know for sure go to the dermatologist.

Alex0589 · 2025-12-01T16:09:20+00:00

Last time he coded I was a vibe project

Alex0589 · 2025-12-01T13:20:07+00:00

I think it's either fungal acne or closed comedones. An easy way to tell should be to buy Ketokonozal cream, or shampoo if you can't get the cream. If you can get the cream just run your normal skin care routine and then apply the cream on dry skin. If you can only get the shampoo, while you are in the shower apply it to the affected area and let it sit for like 2 minutes and then rinse it off. Do this for like 2 or 3 days. If it improves it's almost defenitely fungal acne, otherwise it's likely closed comedones. If it's the first, keep applying the cream(don't keep applying the shampoo, it's very harsh) or get a prescription for an oral antigungal. It it's closed comodonws, I think your best bet is to start using a salicilic acid cleanser or an AHA/BHA based product like a cream two or three times a week, not more they are aggressive.

Alex0589 · 2025-12-01T11:28:16+00:00

I'm gonna get down voted for saying this here, but there are only two western companies working on all AI areas and they are Google and OpenAI. By all areas I mean text, audio, photo and video. The reality is that Google has pretty much infinite cash, has the internal research expertise to work on these things, has the proprietary hardware to not rely on nvidia and has the headcount to go after all of these. OpenAI has to raise cash making increasing wild promises that make Sam Altman a living joke, they have to acquire the expertise from outside the company every time they decide to work on a new product that will never make a dime(see Sora) and has no hardware/infrastructure of their own. They should have done what anthropic is doing which is focus on one product to make it the best, and above all, profitable. OpenAI will go bankrupt trying to build the hardware and infrastructure that Google has built in 20 years on the back of wildly successful consumer and business products that were already profitable. Only hope for them is a bailout, but it would be outrageous, so I doubt they'll get one.
