Re:Are You Enjoying Our Linguine? (2025) on Wednesday June 03, 2026 @01:04PM (#48386624)
I kinda disagree with the general sentiment of the article. IMO the author mistakes a low context social style for imperial tastelessness. I, a Korean, lived in the US for a decade so I do have experience with this "imperialism" the author tries to illustrate.

However, the American behavior the author is describing is more attributed to how American social norms don't force anyone to "read the room" and "know your place". At least, not as much as Italians and Koreans. Americans have simple rules they abide by, like general etiquette and the constitution. And Americans are brought up to neither refrain from nor judge others acting within that boundary.

So I don't agree Americans are "tasteless". I find Americans to be more tolerant and accepting, at least compared to cultures with longer history. And that is the American "taste" in my opinion. This has its cons, one of which is someone from my culture thinking they are oblivious to others around them.

Seems we must have a macOS Codex App running to enable linux box - phone communication

Could Codex CLI get this support also? I am sure a lot of us are running remote linux machines with Nvidia GPUs, with codex CLI running

Yes this is a pain in the ass for many many Koreans.

Your eyes have to scan for:

And then you have - North Korea - Korea, North - Democratic People's Republic of Korea - Korea, Democratic People's Republic of

Re:"Car Wash" test with 53 models on Monday February 23, 2026 @11:38PM (#47132923)
Fun fact: this probably originates from a viral Korean dude who actually walked to a car wash because it was close. So this is a case where a human actually failed

This politician is basically a Korean knockoff of Charlie Kirk.

In his 40s, touring the country "debating" college kids. Selling middle-school level economic arguments that appeal to online community addicts.

Basically a spokesman for the "I tell it like it is" crowd.

We excel at things that look good on paper.
Average korean:

We just hope Americans realize some day that the world is not taking advantage of them like Trump wants them to believe.

Korea is very dependent on America but this is a mutually beneficial situation. We are their customers and they are ours. Except Korea is more desparate so the US can afford to rip us off or kill contracts whenever it feels like it. We are always thankful to UN allies and the US for freeing SK from NK but Americans are not here to save us. They are here to snoop into beijing and control the pacific ocean.

That my friend is the Korean Way (^tm).

I regularly paste papers into LLM interfaces but they all spit out generic non-helpful answers. Your app is the only one i've seen that actually helps me understand.

This is why, whenever I can, I call RLHF/DPO "sequence level calibration" instead of "alignment tuning".

Bun is amazing. It’s a life hack for me. Chatgpt doesnt know much about it so there’s some productivity hit but i love bun.
Re:Bun 1.2 Is Released on Thursday January 23, 2025 @11:10PM (#42810466)
Same for me. I was in the “whats the point npm will have all these next year” camp. Finally tried bun and was blown away. Subtle things in DX add up. For my project Bun is so “next generation”.
