Like 7 years ago I read the most amazing book on biology..it described that inside cells literal skyscrapers of protein-based structures and machinery took individual ATP molecules and stripped them of an outer electron thus creating what I

Anytime you can turn a deep personal interest, like designing and building this impressive gearbox, into something that lands you a paid gig somewhere, you have basically hacked the typical employment system and you should be happy and prou

It's interesting to note that very often these same Republicans have no issues at all with large tax-based incentives when they help their employers or knock some dollars off they yearly property tax bills. It just boggles my mind how

I can think of very few things that I'd rather not do then to be an OS. Talk about a thankless "game"...and I'm glad this came up. Since when have games become more about just completing boring tasks and not about using

So if three Tech companies (Boston Dynamics, Google, and Softbank), very smart ones at that, couldn't think of a way to make Atlas profitable, well for sure an automotive company should have no problem at all figuring it out. Huh? I me

perhaps simply threatening to fire it would also do the trick...it sure has worked well on us for a long time now.

Well...what about a <BLINK> as well? For gramps.

> I'll see if my 6 year old can grow corn this year. Sure..put it in Kalshi while your at it and we can all bet on it. I'm pretty sure he could grow one plant with someone in the know prompting him.

> I think it is impressive if it works. It only works if you tell Claude..."grow me some fucking corn profitably and have it ready in 9 months" and it does it. If it's being used as manager to simply flesh out the daily co

Come on...haven't we all had to deal with the crazy smart lead who was loaded with those same types of annoying tics? Considering what these LLMs bring to the table, I think a little tolerance for their cringe phrases is in order.

I just turned 60. My first computer was a 4.77MHz IBM PC with an 8088 processor, two floppy drives, and that magnificent mechanical keyboard IBM shipped in those days. My father, clearly receiving excellent financial advice at the time, pic

I'm not at all sure you can make a blanket statement like this and expect it to be always true. This is classic Disruptive Technology stuff, and I'll spare everyone the tedious explanation of how the typical trajectory will go. Y

Typically, scams like this are very top-heavy with the vast majority of the pilfered cash going to a few well-placed "bros" at the top of the company pyramid. My guess? Most of the cash is socked away in BTC or some such wealth s

Spoken like a man who has never had to write a payroll check in his life. Of course human ownership is preferable, but it's also crazy expensive and since the point of all corporations is to "increase shareholder value" (not

Of course. Why would you expect anything but? Pride is actually a very good driver of change if you ask me because people often do their best work when they are proud of what they are building.

I find it almost completely mind boggling that with all the breathless new coverage on the "incredible shortage of qualified tower personnel", I have yet to hear even one mention of what I find to be the elephant in the room. Uhhh

Love the use of Playwright for the contest intel...I am currently using Playwright to redo some prior scraping projects and seeing real world examples such as these is a big help. You attack the problem like blackjack card-counter would. Y
