I suspect the "more likely to leave their jobs" is the part the executives actually care about. If you're remote and there's an "upgrade" remote job, there's very little friction to switch beyond the usual

When I was a teenager, I had an Italian greyhound who would collect fallen apples from our tree in our back yard. He'd make a pile and leave it for a week or so. Then he'd go out and chew on the apples before running around the ya

It's not really "random", there is a coherent story (and a moral to that story) underneath all the weirdness and you'll sometimes forget how crazy it's gotten because your current objective tends to make sense (ex:

Agreed. If you want to just make parts and not tinker with a CNC machine, get a Z1. I had near-zero experience with CNC and got a Cavera Air last year and it mostly "just works" from the hardware side. I just fixture stuff and run

I've been a watercooling "enthusiast" for about 20 years now and, while the DIY-ness of the old school builds was a lot of fun for young me, I'm also glad I can just buy some off-the-shelf (or at worst "small batch&

This is my experience as well. LLM currently produce pretty mediocre code. A lot of that is a "garbage in, garbage out" issue but it's just the current state of things. If the alternative is noob code or just not doing a task

Same with Chrome on desktop. There's an animated background element with shooting stars that seems to be updating per-pixel. The more pixels it draws, like for a high res screen, the slower the page seems to render. I deleted that elem
