Took me a few seconds to figure this out. Register for VibeCon – the biggest vibe coding conference! .
The funny part is that a lot of folks who are ‘Vibe Coding’ will not get the joke here…

Changing passwords regularly is a good way to ensure that your accounts are secure. Yes I know about the new NIST guidelines on password changing but I disagree with it. If you are using a password manager (and you should be) then changing passwords on a regular basis is not a hard thing to do.
In any case, I noticed that the password on a bunch of my accounts had not been changed in a while so was updating them; one of the accounts is on OpenAI that I had created when it had launched but not really used much after that. After logging in I spent a few minutes trying to find the option to change my password but couldn’t find it, finally had to go to the FAQ’s to find out how to change the password and I saw the following:
How to reset your ChatGPT password
They really don’t know how to implement a simple change password functionality… I mean this is not something I expect from a billion dollar company. I have seen this on sites created by startups but never at a large company. Although, if their site is created using their AI code generation then that would kind of explains this. 😉

We all have heard about Corporate Jargon and some of us have used it (willingly or unwilling) as well. If you haven’t then Wikipedia defines Corporate Jargon as:
Corporate jargon (variously known as corporate speak, corporate lingo, business speak, business jargon, management speak, workplace jargon, corpospeak, corporatese, or commercialese) is the jargon often used in large corporations, bureaucracies, and similar workplaces. The language register of the term is generally being presented in a negative light or disapprovingly. It is often considered to be needlessly obscure or, alternatively, used to disguise an absence of information. Its use in corporations and other large organisations has been widely noted in media
A marriage proposal can be quite stressful and people go out of their way to make their proposal unique. Evan Barber from McSweeney’s decided to explore what
a marriage proposal spoken entirely in office jargon would look like and it is hilarious.
GARY: Me too. You said you wanted to see hockey-stick growth. Well, I’ve realized that I want to see hockey-stick growth too—in our relationship.
CINDY: Unpack that for me.
GARY: This relationship has been such a value-add. Some of my friends were worried that it would take too long for us to get into alignment. But you have been an absolute rockstar.
CINDY: I feel the same way, Gary. The ROI on this relationship has been unbelievable. You’ve really given 110 percent.
I understood all of the words and terms in the proposal and that is a little scary to think about.

I need to get this shirt for myself: 🙂

I guess actually fixing the problems with the drainage that cause the roads in Bangalore to get flooded would have been too much work for BBMP, so instead of fixing the root issue they prohibit driving on the road during rainy season (which is half the year in Bangalore).
This sign is on the Wind Tunnel road, posted recently.

You have to admire this person’s dedication and the effort they put in to ensure that the recipient regrets winning the $15 gift card from him.
It would have been even more fun if they shared the video of the persons reaction to getting this package, but… we will have to do with our imagination.

Saw this car parked in DD a few days ago. I have heard of offsetting your carbon emissions but this is a bit much… 🙂 The plant is literally growing in the mud-flap of the car.

Kensyouen_Y has created a video using Blender depicting an Anime character model who becomes sentient and starts playing around with Blender’s UI, messing around with different tools and functionalities, changing her own hair color via Shader Nodes, and eventually crashing the software with her boisterous high jinks.
This is a phenomenally creative video, something that I couldn’t create in a 100 years. 🙂 Check it out below.

Saw this sign while stuck in Bangalore traffic and it made me laugh. I mean, how annoyed do you have to be about the miss pronunciation of the name to take actual billboards out to correct people.

I have always thought that the food in most western countries was insufficiently spicy and in some places felt like they just boiled the food before serving it. This was a great problem for me during my years in the US till I discovered Mexican food and I have similar issues in other western countries as well.
I was surfing the web earlier today and found this news article that talks about how Denmark is recalling three flavors of instant ramen noodles because they were too spicy and it made me laugh. Even better was the response from the company (emphasis added by me):
We understand that the Danish food authority recalled the products, not because of a problem in their quality but because they were too spicy,” Samyang told the BBC News. “The products are being exported globally. But this is the first time they have been recalled for the above reason.”
The recall note states:
The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration says that the amount of the chili pepper extract in one pack of 3x Spicy & Hot Chicken, 2x Spicy & Hot Chicken, or Hot Chicken Stew “is so high that they pose a risk of the consumer developing acute poisoning.”
“If you have the products, you should discard them or return them to the store where they were purchased,” the agency implores
Considering the folks there think a dish spiced with just pepper is too spicy this is not too surprising but is funny. I wonder how the MTR Ready to Eat Meals would fare over there. My guess is that it would face similar issues unless the spice level was reduced drastically.
