When I've done them, I always feel like I benefit from reflective practices like these. Does anyone have tips for successfully building reflection into one's life? In the mean time I'll reflect on it.

I share some of your concerns and I'd not thought about this angle - folks outside the west doing this kind of work. So thanks for sharing. I have attempted to shift my mindset a little, thinking about how I might become an effective u

It was a chain (Sherwin Williams), so I assume they could afford an in house dev team.

I worked at a paint store in my teens (2010s) that operated a beautiful text only PoS system that had been built decades ago and it was incredible. So efficient, purpose built, nary a click.

Why would we want an AI that writes novels though? Is this a "to see if we can" thing? Let's say this or some future AI system writes better novels than any human author at a fraction of the cost. Novel writing is solved. Wha

I sort of assume this is always happening to varying degrees. The net effect even for a skeptic is that you are less trusting of all media. Feels like a nearly unsolvable problem. Btw I'm sure it's a two way street.

Maybe it's not "elaborate", relative term, but it's multi step, several fake accounts, a fake mail server, multi step interview, and it's tailored to a specific company and targeted to a relevant audience.

I mean, if you can write arbitrary jsx and react, seems like you can define your own components?

MySpace was my first coding experience and I think ultimately tipped me to CS in school. I remember laying out my page like a pink and black newspaper. All that work for no one to read lol. But now it is essentially my career

The situation OP described is really not that unbelievable to me. I've met one or two developers who really were "the best in the room" at a smaller company and I can imagine them writing something like this. Nobody hated the

Read a fantastic book that makes the case for 'composite cognitive processes' called "Self Comes to Mind". It touches upon the composite nature of sight and other senses and functions. It's ultimate goal is putting

It's all carved up for farming. This was the norm in my home state (Iowa). They're all gravel roads mind you, so not ideal driving if you don't live there. You kick up dust the whole way.

Maybe. A challenge in birding is getting close enough to look at things without scaring them away. The thing about both crows and ravens is they are (relatively) unafraid of humans. So, you shouldn't struggle much to get a good enough

I gave the original NYT article a read when it was published and I have no idea how it could have been approved outside of the opinion section. Really shameful to present the obviously pro crypto piece as neutral or informational and I have

I'll take the bait. Ravens' beaks are hooked s.t. the top curves slightly around the bottom, an over beak if you will. The crow's beak is roughly conical and does not hook in this manner. Additionally the raven's beak is

This has really got me thinking about the hidden costs of having one high tech device that does everything. Like, I wonder if someone is running ML models on all of our sleeping habits based on phone alarms. Would be interesting to get some

You could break the safe with a hammer or by smashing it on the ground, as others have mentioned. You know though, you are mostly using the safe in your own home or office, for increments of 30 minutes to a couple hours. For many folks I th

Along these lines, I just purchased a low tech solution called a KSafe for personal use and I love it. It's basically a safe with a timer and no override, so you can say, lock up for 2 hours, put your (de)vice inside, and push the butt

I'm probably making assumptions, so I'd like to clarify, which government prohibited travel to such a degree? In the my US Midwest jurisdiction, the truly restrictive lockdowns closed indoor business, and discouraged gathering, bu

Is it better to say nothing, or to meet each other -- those with differing views -- at the margins? Certainly some of the staff at SA seem to have read it.

I mean, at the baseline I think it's useful to know you're not meeting expectations. Of course it's more useful to know in a timely manner.

I guess I've been pretty skeptical of these numbers. Maybe it's wishful thinking on my part but I am unconvinced that the like dislike ratio on a YouTube video is really reflective of public opinion writ large.

Floored and pleased by this. A social media company making a real attempt to curb harassment by re-examining fundamental features. Obviously there's more these companies could do, but this feels significant.

I'd recommend checking out zen meditation as a moderately effective approach to confronting the terror of death and oblivion .
