I'll be honest, I'm not sure why I should feel nostalgic about inconvenience. Getting lost is a major inconvenience, it creates anxiety, wastes time, and all around just sucks. GPS greatly reduces all of those things at the expens

Think about it. If you're great at the job you're doing, companies tend to promote you because they assume you'll be good at the next one up too. That happens until you're at the top or no longer doing your current job w

I have it give me a punchlist and a tldr in a table format for every turn. It helps cut through the incessant babbling.

Lots of people saying the same about Deepseek v4 Flash. Seems like it's an artifact of that model.

Are they? Or do they just have superior recall? Or maybe lack test-taking anxiety? Or write or type quicker or...? Lots of reasons a slow student can be just as smart or smarter than a fast one.

Acceptable is different from being an accurate assessment of knowledge. The question is what is the teacher attempting to measure?

Because those folks don't move the needle on sales. They're buying one, maybe two firesticks and using them OOB. I'd bet a significant portion of sales go to people 'jailbreaking' them and buying in bulk.

Agreed. They won by having the best product. And it wasn't even close.

One thing I'd point out is that there are only so many ways to write a document or build a spreadsheet. There are a ton of business processes that are custom enough to that org that they have to decide to go custom, change their proces

I don't think we use CGMs enough. There's nothing that tells you more about your food choice than the way your blood sugar reacts after you eat it. Teaching that can actually help folks manage their weight better because they can

There are also many subskills not worth learning to some people. Sometimes traversal is what's needed and not understanding. (Though I'm never going to knock gaining more understanding) Tools allow traversal of poorly understood,

I love this. A teacher that actually engages with change instead of just pretending it's evil or doesn't exist. Refreshing.

THIS. Companies establish the minimum level of productivity acceptable by keeping the lowest performer. There's very little benefit in producing much beyond that level in most organizations. What do you do with all the extra time if yo

This hits home. I love the thrill of the build and I immediately stop caring once it's done. I love the 'rewire for action' perspective because I've conditioned myself that seeking information IS action. But it's no

Yep. What this shows is that companies sway with what they perceive is public opinion. From Floyd to Trump, companies are shaping their internal public facing policies to mirror where they think the public is on social issues. Lesson taught

>But I also think it's pretty hard to foster an environment where people of every seniority level feel comfortable doing that. That's because pretending to be unsinkable is much easier than working to prevent the ship from sink

Thanks for this! I use a Perrix 835 and I'm quite happy with it except that the keys are rubbing raw and I need new key caps. But I'm always looking to trade up if possible.

When folks are engaging in mass circumventing of pervasive processes, it's because the process has broken 'typical' attempts to interact with it. You're being penalized for doing right by candidates but it's likely

This sounds like a situation that I know about at the placed identified by name in your comment. It took months to track down the issue.

If they could adjust for LED headlights at night, this would be even more of a no-brainer. I'd still wear them if needed.

You don't even need to charge, just some sort of validation wall before submission. I bet a non-functional AI checker would discourage the great majority of these.

The most valuable thing AI has done for me with coding is commenting my code and creating documentation from it. It saves so much time doing a task that hardly any of us actually want to do - and it does it well.

Seriously! I've tried a few times off and on and it just isn't something to tackle without having a ton of time and effort and stamina and stubbornness. And then still likely failing.

Damn near the same study conclusion. Uncanningly similar.
