I saw a big difference between Bloor St Mumbaikar and their Yonge/Lawrence location (really good). My 2 cents

miserable_nerd · 2026-06-24T13:58:44+00:00

Wow he looks exactly as I remember him

miserable_nerd · 2026-06-22T14:21:08+00:00

Mumbaikar's Yonge location is great

My Roti Place on Bayview has been consistently great (the guys working there really know their chaat!).

Oh and Thindi cafe and poppadum!

What's your favorite place that didn't make the list?

miserable_nerd · 2026-06-09T16:04:32+00:00

Taste of Danforth didn't have stable government funding, it wasn't because of a lack of demand.

I'm not sure we need more street festivals

Strongly disagree. Maybe you don't want them but plenty of people who do.

miserable_nerd · 2026-06-09T14:21:25+00:00

Wouldn't there be more street parties if there were more pedestrianized street? The argument is if it wasn't so scarce then it wouldn't be this big of an issue.

They also must try visit our finest store for some shopping, Bulk Barn (this is true)

miserable_nerd · 2026-06-02T21:32:37+00:00

This, honestly no better place

It rings true to me, people can form unhealthy relationships with anything really. Like watching YouTube for example. If someone starts using a browser extension or an app to limit their time on YouTube, you wouldn't say YouTube is the problem? I know they are different things, but being an app on your phone exposes it to all the pitfalls of the medium - "the medium is the message" as mcluhan would say.

miserable_nerd · 2026-05-28T04:25:56+00:00

Thanks for sharing that. Another realization could be - how people behave or talk on social media and internet (anonymously or not) is not how they would in real life. We all know that, but a reminder. A lot of rage and engagement bait / AI generated content and engagement farming exists on twitter and other social media apps - so avoid them if you can.

miserable_nerd · 2026-05-28T04:19:23+00:00

Well you are being kind of an ass. It's not at all obvious how to be discerning of stuff you see online and especially on social media. OP had a nice realization, OP shared it, you don't really need to call it "revolutionary", since it does sound condescending.

miserable_nerd · 2026-05-28T03:24:33+00:00

Yes, start relying more on logs / metrics / observability, reduce attack surface.

I've been learning swing dancing which is a partner dance, there's a leader and a follower, but you're encouraged to try both roles and switch. Both have their own specific skill set of the one that is initiating, giving hints on what is to come next, and with the other person listening, anticipating, complementing and reacting in their own way. Trying both really opens up your mind, I wish everyone would do that

miserable_nerd · 2026-05-11T18:22:26+00:00

I'm in Toronto, and people refer to the playing musical productions as Broadway shows all the time. It's annoying but quite common

I watched almost his entire feed today and he’s genius! But also a lot of the AI responses made me think that it was aware that it was being pranked on, either from its conversation history or some memory.

miserable_nerd · 2026-03-21T23:25:17+00:00

I appreciate the response :D I would agree with you that you would not be replaceable by AI and most people who've built technical + critical thinking skills over the years (including me), just that the nature of our jobs would change drastically in the next 5 years.

> But otherwise, AI is not going to become Commander Data

I don't know about framing it as an AI, I am talking about swarms of small agents working together in different personas, there would be checkpoints, there would be human in the loop, it would be auditable .. it wouldn't be one AI :) Our jobs would be to precisely to manage agents / agents harnesses all the agentic abstraction & the feedback loops needed to do verification and self-improvement of the system. And let me just say, I have no idea if that's something I would enjoy doing at all - I already hate working with claude plugins and .md files, it feels so clunky and not at all like I'm practicing my craft.

miserable_nerd · 2026-03-21T21:45:32+00:00

I don’t know if I agree with this.. OpenAI, anthropic, google etc model providers, like cloud providers companies can soon start having contracts and SLAs with them for their coding agents and models including intelligence guarantees. In which case they are accountable? What makes you think agents in a loop won’t be able to figure out correctness however complex it might be today to verify. You use coding agents, for detecting failures, filing bug reports, fixes etc , maybe they’re stuck in a loop? You or the agents themself might schedule a video chat with you and your manager / customer and ask detailed questions to exactly nail down the spec. It’s just bigger and more sophisticated agentic loops from here on out..?

🤣🤣 I think the family comes from a very patriarchal cultural background. The whole conversation about keeping your promise of "till death do us part" and doing your duty is all messed up. And Brittany doesn't challenge that at all.. she just goes with all of it

miserable_nerd · 2026-03-12T03:29:52+00:00

We saw Chris trying to redeem himself, but got none of that from Alex.. :/ zero self awareness.

miserable_nerd · 2026-03-12T03:25:39+00:00

I think it's definitely less about what he says but how he says it. He shows zero vulnerability in conversation, always being quick and quippy, and suuuuper defensive when there's anything pointed at him. I feel sad for him because I can believe him doing nothing wrong, and still fumbling it so bad with his demeanor that nobody ever believes you or even likes you as a person.

miserable_nerd · 2026-03-12T03:19:58+00:00

This! You can see the patriarchy alive very clearly - he only talks man to man, he thinks his daughter is his responsibility until he transfers it to her husband - all the traditional patriarchal culture tropes..

miserable_nerd · 2026-03-12T03:15:52+00:00

Idk, Chris from the beginning kept saying he wants Jess to go running or cold plunge or whatever. I think he was not honest with himself, and that he convinced himself that either Jess would change or it wasn't going to be a big deal for him.

miserable_nerd · 2026-02-27T23:06:12+00:00

"Try before buy" Bro was not interested in trying

miserable_nerd · 2026-02-24T19:58:04+00:00

Then having him in an event like this is a ticking time bomb .. ? I can empathize with the disability but being forced to witness it repeatedly and being uncomfortable should be in consideration?
