This. It's the only major reason to bring people back to Urban centers. Real estate, both commercial and residential, would take a hit in every high cost of living urban center. City centers, like Seattle, have been begging Amazon to b

I haven't explored the API yet, but their interface for GPT-4 has been getting increasingly worse over the past month. Things that GPT-4 would easily, and correctly, reason through in April/May it just doesn't do any longer.

It has gotten pretty bad. I drive a Subaru Crosstrek and I'm routinely blinded by larger SUVs and trucks headlights literally filling my cabin with light. I'll continue slowing down until they pass me. Other countries have already

Honestly, I started Amazon with some kick ass managers and a great leadership team. However, that changed after a year or two and I ended up with some of the shittiest leaders I've had in the industry. I couldn't bail quick enough

I used MarkoJS / LassoJS for a startup a ~4 years ago and it was an extremely successful product. Moving away from it into ReactJS felt like taking a huge step backwards in terms of capabilities and speed. It's a bummer it's

The price point just doesn't make sense any more. The 15 inch model starts out at $2800. You can get a much better machine, hardware wise, from competitors at the same price.

In most cases, better technology is just as expensive, if not more expensive. You need better trained and better staffed crew on ships, regardless of the systems in place. As an example: Deck division will have 5/6 people on watch for

It's always like this, or worse. Active war-zones are a bit different if we are sailing through "hazardous" waters. Usually on top of work and normal watches, you'll man up some different watches since the crew will have

I served on both a FFGs and DDGs as a BM. This is pretty much a normal routine out at Sea. Doesn't matter if it's a week, month, or year. It's fairly similar sleep and work schedule. Combine it with other collateral duties, F
