Only Part of the Story
One of the reasons why I get frustrated reading the tech news is that there are often wild inaccuracies in a lot of different articles, usually on the account of sponsorships. It’s both a blessing and a curse to know as much as I do about technology. Well, in this case it’s more on the curse side. And now a lot of the inaccuracy I spot in the advent of the newly publicized 16-billion leak is half-truths spun up and over emphasized to sell more subscriptions.Posted at 2025 Jun 22 at 01:00PM
It Shows
As of April 29th, 2025, Microsoft has bragged about “as much as 30%” of their code is written in AI. And in the scope of things, I’m not sure if it’s something they should be bragging about. Article about AIPosted at 2025 Jun 16 at 05:42PM
Tariff Calculator
This post is to introduce my new tariff calculator web app, a small project I just created in an hour or two, to practice what I have been learning about web-app development. One of the reasons I made it is to correct a couple of pitfalls I have seen with tariff calculators thus far: Distribution Factor: Calling it this for now because I’m not sure if this already has a technical name. But this is a percentage of the price that accounts for USA-side costs and profit margins; including but not limited to: Final assembly: Some products may source parts or assemblies from the origin country, but the entire product’s final assembly may take place here in the USA (I’m a citizen of the USA). Transportation: Naturally, some of the cost of transporting the item to the warehouse from the port is built into the retail price of an item. Profit Margins: Importers typically build a profit margin into the final retail price of an item. Total Cost: While it’s a disclaimer for now (I may play around with toggling it), at some point in the future retailers will build tariffs into the retail price. While the tariff cost result of this calculator will still be somewhat accurate, you can disregard the total price if the tariff is already included in the price of the item. Feel free to comment and correct me if I’m wrong about any of this. I’ll issue corrections when I have time.Posted at 2025 May 03 at 03:15PM

Dead Internet Theory
Dead internet theory is a theory that the internet as we had gotten to know it is starting to die out. Some consider it a conspiracy theory due to them not noticing some signs that it could be true. It is safe to say that after the last couple of months, I’ve noticed enough signs to be a believer myself. Here’s why:Posted at 2025 Jan 03 at 10:03AM
I wrote this a little bit later but decided to post this on my website as well. On December 2nd, 2024; I lost my beloved Butterscotch to chronic kidney disease. She will be missed. This article is for her memory.
