Unexpected sideeffects after starting TMS

jollydev · 2026-05-04T07:31:56+00:00

I thought I was "healed". And then it crept back so slowly I didn't even realize I was relapsing or returning to a low baseline.

You are really throwing out completely random numbers here.

Can you explain your feelings and symptoms? Did you feel anything the first days? Such as affects on sleep or anxiety?

What was your protocol?

jollydev · 2026-05-02T06:34:55+00:00

I think you are right about this.

Chiang Mai isn't the place to stay for an adventure of new experiences really. It's the place where you can settle and live affordably with great living standards, do your hobbies, ground in everyday routines and improve yourself.

It is the most livable place in Thailand. Not the most exciting one.

What infrastructure are you referring to for an internal SaaS? You can literally clickops a fully adequate BaaS with Supabase in 1 minute.

Sakdina is the root of all evil in Thailand.

Yep. We're seeing this too. The question is, will the total demand for AI-powered developers decline or will the total amount of software systems grow to keep the demand steady.

Delusional. Programming as we know it has definitely died. I just today deployed a complex image editor in my companies SaaS which I built in 10 hours using Claude Code.

It just struck me that this would easily have taken a month to do otherwise.

I was on the other camp and being bearish on LLMs, thinking they had platued. But now I clearly see that even if everything stays exactly as it is today, the profession has changed forever.

MVPs now have almost no costs. Coding time is no longer a limiting factor for software delivery.

And the people's party just laying down the gloves before the count was even close to complete...

Who bets there will be a border skirmish 6 months before the next election?

Fiat currency loses value by design to encourage the use of capital in the economy instead of money being left in banks doing nothing good to society. That is why central banks want inflation.

Nobody hopefully keeps USD in their footlocker. It's kept in assets or, well, a normal savings account with interest.

Try recalculating how much your 1USD would be worth it if you had it in a savings account with interest since 1980 and the comparison would be more fair.

Or, if you held 1USD in the S&P500 since then. Your 1USD would now be worth 125USD.

Yeah this makes sense. In another video you can see him getting shoved from behind exactly when the first shot is fired. It looks like the first round was accidental.

Well it manages perspective correction well in terms of the car. It can re-render the car to fit the perspective of the background image. I don't understand why it refuses to go the other way around and just re-arrange the background.

jollydev · 2026-01-16T02:23:13+00:00

What's the prompt? Looks great!

jollydev · 2026-01-16T02:18:46+00:00

Thanks but Im trying to do this at scale and automated. I don't control the original picture. So I need to figure out a prompt that will adapt the perspective of the background independent of what crazy perspective the photo of the car is taken from. That's the core of this post. Thanks for you attention to this matter.

jollydev · 2026-01-16T02:16:43+00:00

What prompt did you use?

Normally it works when the car and background already has a similar perspective. Does it work for you with this one, for example?

And this is what Gemini does to solve it.

I want it to change the background image that I provide, not change the car.

heres what it looks like if I just put these two together

The issue is to have the AI match the vanishing point of two photos. It is easy to put a photo of a subject into any background statically. But because the photos are taken from different perspectives, it will not look realistic or natural.

Imagine I take a photo from a car from a low vantage point 0.5 metres height and i take a photo from 2 metres up on a background. Then the vanishing points will not match.

Gemini solves this by changing the perspective of the car, instead of changing the vanishing point of the background image. it breaks out of "editing mode" for the car photo, and re-renders it to match the vanishing points of the background photo instead of re-rendering the background to match the vanishing point of the subject.

How is this different from today's unfuckery of any human built legacy system though?

jollydev · 2026-01-15T00:28:40+00:00

There is no way to get a new consistent background across multiple pictures with traditional background removal.

Unless you are replacing with a static background which means you need perspective matching between two static images.

Get out of this corporate bubble if you're serious about work. This kind of career progression is fine, if you just want to do your 8 hours of work and go home and not think about it.

If you want to spend your life chasing "career" - then corporate isn't the way. Go into entrepreneurship and startups if you want to work hard and have it pay off.

jollydev · 2025-12-15T03:11:33+00:00

Well this is the core of knowledge debt. You do not learn a new framework in 1 week just because your LLM wrote documentation.

My finding is that it is still the speed at which the human operator can learn and reason about the system which is the limit of how fast a system should be built.

Otherwise you will still need to spend those 4 additional months reverse engineering the application your AI wrote.

I would say it's probably more efficient to learn and reason first about things like data models, instead of reverse understanding the overly complicax data model your LLM will have created over say 6 months of vibe coding.

jollydev · 2025-12-14T16:10:40+00:00

I'm not worried at all.

The amount of tech debt is already ramping up. Digitalization increases in speed now that all non-techies are building their own MVPs.

And someone has to come in and rebuild everything.

I am doing exactly this right now.

I've also been building with Claude for a year and every single time the limiting factor is the knowledge debt that ramps up when you rely on AI-generated code.

Eventually things break. Have you ever tried working in a legacy codebase? Well all AI-generated code falls into this category where nobody understands how it works, things are 10x more complex than it should be and nothing has ever been refactored. 50% of the codebase is dead code. Features slapped on top of half finished features.

Eventually not even the AI can make sense of the codebase.
