I stumbled across his site (and this post) two days ago lol! I think I saw someone had mentioned/linked the palm control method which I found pretty ingenious. Mice are definitely terrible and one day I’ll get around to adding full mou

I would expand that to the general ability to parse bs. Just understanding the different incentives of each actor, why a certain agenda by an individual/brand/group is being pushed, etc.

Sports is easy enough. The hardest part is getting around limits and finding new accounts cuz anyone with a brain inevitably gets kicked. But overall relatively easy side income

Yea good point it’s lacking that nuance between senior/entry level. Grouping them together seems intentionally alarmist because they have very different roles

Tbf, MPL can be an absolute pain to work with. Generally tho idk if it’s a good idea to optimize for usability from sales dude

There’s no need to hide behind the salary figure. If you and your colleagues r fine with a tool that’s “good enough” and would rather not undertake the mental burden of learning a new thing that’s fine. But don’t toss out all these irreleva

Interesting. So I’d imagine it’s less predetermined but people still end up taking a certain side and from there all the same toxicity appears

Good points I actively avoid allergies nearly all political discourse (especially online) for the reasons u stated. Unless ur also masochistic, any normal person would be driven insane at the sheer absurdity of it all (“normal” being us abn

Hm I never realized the parallel between politics and sports lol (and more than just the ra ra fandom sense). I think why I enjoy sports so much more than politics—my ministry is the NBA and WNBA—is that it’s inherently a game so you don’t

And the concept of intuition is discussed in ch22 of thinking fast and slow (can’t find my copy atm) with regards to how firefighters are able to make those split second decisions. If you’re interested/havent already read: https:&#x2F

Definitely. And at a slightly higher level, open mindedness is paramount to this. Engaging with other perspectives in good faith not only expands ur worldview but also pushes you to reconsider why you believe/do a thing a certain way

Lol true tho that might be one step above. Anecdotally I know a lot of people that don’t even know what a command line is so that’s y I went with that

Love this. And it’s very disheartening how society fetishizes how much personal wealth one accrues, so much so that it’s natural for the youth to grow up idolizing that and not once step back and consider the larger effect it has on the co

Yea “greedy” customers is probably unfair but I get that it was for effect. To flesh out the point I assume they were making is that customers unfairly adjust their expectations around an unsustainable, too-good-to-be-true edge case, rather

Eloquently put. And regarding the iPhone it’s absurd one needs to jailbreak it simply to access their own phone’s file system!

Consult the geniuses (no pun intended) that patrol the Apple help forums!! But yea it’s terrible. Whether intentional or not, ignoring “power users” cuz they’ll figure it out regardless vs coddling the rest and not overwhelming them sucks a

It’s insane. I don’t wanna generalize but anecdotally (I’m gen z or whatever is younger than millennial), it’s staggering how illiterate most peers are. Several times I’ve explained memory in the “u ever have a bunch of tabs open, Spotify,

None of my ideas are practical cuz I assume they believe their current system is “good enough” but anyway: I would scrap the standardized tests that we are most accustomed to. Yes ideally we’d want some more objective way of determining a b

Must’ve not occurred to them that if students simply looking things up is such a massive concern maybe you should test something else?

There’s some irony here about being a journalist yet not even considering individual privacy. Seems indicative of a missing journalistic quality lol

Then what use cases are the general public using LLMs for other than automation for it to have exploded in popularity? Tho anecdotally it seems to be used for “wisdom” of the crowds coupled with blind trust in the objectivity of a language

Hahah the other day a buddy asked me about Nord and after suggesting Mullvad for the life of me I couldn’t remember why I was wary about Nord. But that’s what it was, their incessant advertising.

Not denying the validity of that but if we agree that “teaching” as the ability to relay unintuitive concepts in a way relevant to the student, there’s not an section on standardized tests where that burgeoning skill would be detectable. A

Good to make that distinction of intentionality (tho the people buying a good solely to purport “status” is a whole different topic lol)
