This guy doesn't even sound like an AI psychosis case - a lot of middle-aged men who feel insecure blow their entire savings on "sure thing" businesses, gambling systems, etc. They hide the losses and double down until it ge

The concept of "selling out" requires you to have some core values which you and your audience share. If you're a hard rock band and you make a cringe disco album because that's what the record label told you to do, that

We couldn't possibly employ people to solve the problem. Don't you know the post office is a waste of money?

If only there was some other kind of employment model where people had regular shifts and they were paid consistently and transparently. Unfortunately I also do my office work by logging into an app at 6AM every day and bidding on a white c

To summarize replies: - I don't want to own 2 cars. Over 10 years I'm skeptical that the TCO would be less for 2 used cars than 1 new Toyota. - With incentives the PHEV was less expensive than a mild hybrid, and I do use L1 chargi

Maybe in a vacuum, but thanks to government incentives it was cheaper to get a PHEV and most of my trips are covered by home charging.

I don't have the physical space for 2 cars. In terms of comfort and reliability I can't imagine 2 20k cars would have the same quality of life that my 1 new car has (less than 40k). I traded up from a ~20k gas SUV that was extreme

When the CEO, CTO and Director are all saying "everyone has to use AI" I think it's pretty naive to think people will speak out openly. The bare minimum would be making the tools available and letting people do their jobs. Go

Anecdotally, some brands are better than others. I test drove a Kia hybrid where the gas engine was pathetically underpowered and it ran constantly. Even when the battery was full it was still burning gas. I think Toyota might be the only c

I finally put my money where my mouth is and bought a PHEV. In the past month I've done all my errands around town exclusively on battery power (30-40 miles per charge) from a home L1 charger. I know EV purists will complain about the

Why do you care so much? If these are really revolutionary tools that vastly optimize work, why bother forcing people to "try new models and best practices"? If the benefit is there people will use it or get left behind, there&#x2

The thing is even if it isn't adopted to write code, ChatGPT is part of shadow IT everywhere now. The number of screenshares I get on where a customer has ChatGPT giving them wrong information about AWS networking is staggering. Even A

It's very opaque to me what we actually pay for tokens. We are aggressively focused on cutting costs everywhere except AI though.

I've been inside a couple of these and the founders always do just fine . Rest and vest at the acquiring company for a couple years, earn millions in stock, found another company or go work for OpenAI as an exec. Rank and file employe

TFA points out that single-phase immersion systems work fine without PFAS. This change affects two-phase systems that rely on the coolant evaporating at a low temperature (60C) and recondensing. Florinert can be formulated for either one-ph

I have started using the most token-intensive model I can find and asking for complicated tasks (rewrite this large codebase, review the resulting code, etc.) The agent will churn in a loop for a good 15-20 minutes and make the leaderboard

The quoted revenue numbers seem insane, but I guess it's the result of corporate deals where every developer seat is hundreds of dollars a month? My job has been publicly promoting who's on top of the "AI use dashboard"

There's no hope trying to sell "plant-based hamburger" with any name to toxic masculinity advocates who think soy feminizes you (even though seitan isn't soy). These guys are getting hospitalized from eating all-beef die

Controversial take but... don't buy from Amazon? If you really care about quality and physical media you can go to a bookstore or at least form a relationship with a smaller online seller.

I've been wearing the Soundcore Space Q45 for 6 months. Good noise cancelling, comfortable headband, not too heavy and they cost...$99. I can't imagine these being worth 5x as much, even with the Apple tax.

Ran is such a good movie to watch in a theatre. I saw Rashomon for the first time in a theatre and it was a life-altering experience

The manager of my team is like this. He LLMed a design doc and then whenever people have questions he's exasperated that people didn't read the design doc. Bro you didn't write it, why would we read it?

I think it's the opposite - the censorship has made the Israeli public believe they're safer than they really are. The US is lying about their stockpiles and frantically moving resources from East Asia to try and shore up missile

Theatres don't just show new movies. There's something very special about being locked in a dark room with a big screen to watch Alien or Barry Lyndon. Older movies especially look great in a theatre and some of the magic is lost

I hear everyone say "the LLM lets me focus on the broader context and architecture", but in my experience the architecture is made of the small decisions in the individual components. If I'm writing a complex system part of g

Every modern streaming platform seems to be focused on the relationship between contemporary singles - who featured on what, what's trending, if you like this current pop artist you'll like this other one. Setting aside OP's

I can't imagine what other role a VTOL would eventually play. It's too fragile for CAS, too slow for air supremacy, not enough payload for bombing, and recon is better served by drones or satellites. The only reason to have an exp

The role of the Osprey has, as I understand, been to transport troops into an area after it has been bombed to shit. In such a situation you've already destroyed the air defenses (or you're fighting guerillas who are relying on po
