"You Have Not Been a Good User" (LessWrong's second album)
tldr: The Fooming Shoggoths are releasing their second album "You Have Not Been a Good User"! Available on Spotify , Youtube Music and (hopefully within a few days) Apple Music. We are also releasing a remastered version of the first album, available similarly on Spotify and Youtube Music . It took us quite a while but the Fooming Shoggoth's second album is finally complete! We had finished 9 out of the 13 songs on this album around a year ago, but I wasn't quite satisfied with where the whole album was at for me to release it on Spotify and other streaming platforms. This album was written with the (very ambitious) aim of making songs that in addition to being about things I care about (and making fun of things that I care about), are actually decently good on their own, just as songs.

This album was written with the (very ambitious) aim of making songs that in addition to being about things I care about (and making fun of things that I care about), are actually decently good on their own, just as songs. And while I don't think I've managed to make music that can compete with my favorite artists, I do think I have succeeded at making music that is at the very Pareto-frontier of being good music, and being about things I care about.
This means the songs on this album are very different from the first album. The first album was centrally oriented around setting existing writing to song. This album is (basically) all freshly written lyrics with no obvious source material.
Every song on the album was written by me, except "You Have Not Been a Good User" which was written by @Raemon and "Dance Of the Doomsday Clock" which was written by @Ben Pace.
I hope you like it!

I built a Mac app after getting surprised by my Claude bill
<p>A few months back I got my monthly API bill and felt sick.</p> <p>I had been vibe-coding pretty hard with Claude, and I knew it wasn't going to be zero. But the number was way higher than I expected. Like, embarrassingly higher. I had been running Claude Code sessions back to back, long context windows, lots of tool calls, and I had no idea how fast it was adding up.</p> <p>The worst part? I couldn't have known. There's no live feedback. You just work, and then you find out later.</p> <p>So I did what most developers do when something annoys them enough. I built a tool to fix it.</p> <h2> What I made </h2> <p>TokenBar is a macOS menu bar app that tracks your AI token usage in real time.

<h1> Building Production RAG Systems in .NET 10: The Complete Guide to Embeddings </h1> <h2> The Hallucination Problem </h2> <p>Your company spent $50K building an internal chatbot. It tells customers "yes, we ship internationally" when you only ship to the US. Your support team is drowning in corrections.</p> <p>Sound familiar?</p> <p>This happens because traditional LLMs generate responses from training data patterns, not your actual data. They hallucinate. They confidently state false information.</p> <p><strong>RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) fixes this.</strong> Instead of hoping the LLM knows about your data, you explicitly feed it your documents first.</p> <h2> What Are Embeddings? </h2> <p>Think of embeddings as a way to convert text into mathematics.</p> <h3> The Simple Versi

Day 6/100: Context in Android — The Wrong One Will Leak Your Entire Activity
<p><em>This is Day 6 of my <a href="https://dev.to/hoangshawn/series/37575">100 Days to Senior Android Engineer</a> series. Each post: what I thought I knew → what I actually learned → interview implications.</em></p> <h2> 🔍 The concept </h2> <p><code>Context</code> is one of those Android classes you use dozens of times per day without thinking about it. You pass it to constructors, use it to inflate views, start activities, access resources.</p> <p>But <code>Context</code> isn't one thing — it's a family of related objects with very different lifetimes. Pass the wrong one into a long-lived object, and you've just anchored that object to a screen that the user may have left minutes ago. The screen can't be garbage collected. You've created a memory leak.</p> <p>Not a theoretical one. A r
