The only two people I know in real life who consistently posts leadership nonsense on there are: 1. Consistently "underused" at every job and "stifled" by management that doesn't understand that talent comes with di

Choose the right distro and automate updates of possible. Mint is the softest landing for Windows users. But they never ever ever ever update anything on their own. Ever. Forever.

The problem with setting a nearly maintenance free nas is that you tend to forget about it just running away in the background. Then a drive fails spectacularly. And that's the story of how I thought I lost all our home movies. Luckily

I don't mind them in the distance. I would love if these stupid things were 40km away. The closest is like 500 meters away from my house. They're awful. I live in the country for the peace and quiet and dark at night. Now with a w

Ford. The town is medium to low income. So I'm guessing that's their motivation?

8 or 10 year loan. Then you roll that remainder into the next loan when you get another car. It's absurd, to be honest. We financed our last vehicle, because we got a price discount via financing. The FIRST payment term they brought us

Yeah but Young Frankenstein? Come on. That's going to be good. Sven is one of the few things I miss about living in Chicago.

I guess you're assuming that power will be used locally and not sold to a different city/state? Source: the butt tons of wind farms that sell their power to the state next door and the fact that our power bill has doubled in that

I see you've never accidentally really pissed someone off in a comments section about an inane topic. I got e-mail blasted on my linked e-mail here for a user called u/Loughla on reddit (who has deleted their account now). It&#x

Correct. The faculty at my institution do not want any use of LLM or 'AI' technology. End of sentence. If they learn that a student used an LLM, regardless of how it was used, they send a formal academic discipline complaint to ad

Yes if you lie about your past, you can do those things. Correct. Not sure how that's relevant.

That's just false though. For poor people, if you have a conviction, it follows you forever and impacts your life negatively in a multitude of ways.

Sure but there's also a continuum of practice between banning outright and letting the students use llm's to just write for them. Use it as a peer review. Use it during brainstorming. Use it to clarify ambiguous thoughts. Use it t

Faculty at the college I work for are kicking and screaming about AI and students using AI. They don't want to use new tools so they're just trying to outright ban students from using them. One smug English faculty said, "wel

This needs to be stressed. It's not just uncertainty of grants. That's a given, even when fed is stable. Schools are questioning basic financial aid now. If Trump follows through on eliminating ED, no one is confident that there&#

So for the purposes of this I'm talking about success at work. Because that's what the article and discussion are about. No that's not how I define personal success. But that's also not relevant to this.

With the number of narcissists I've seen be wildly successful, I have to disagree with you. There is a very clear and well established path to the top for people who only care about themselves.

Parasocial relationships have always been a thing. People felt like they 'knew' celebrities and would commit weird acts of stalking or violence when that worldview was shattered. but now it's ABSOLUTELY EVERYWHERE and almost

I love excel and use it daily in my bullshit admin job. But google sheets is so much easier if you have more than one person interacting with the data. It just works, easily, every time. Even with 365 or whatever for MS products, they'

The problem with acting antisocial during someone else's filming is that they are then free to blow you up with whatever lies they feel like, just because they're angry. People get their lives ruined by doing that. That's whe

Informed, yes. Allowed to make critical choices as children? No. I'm with you, people act like children don't exist when they're talking about serious matters. But you do have to remember that they lack critical reasoning (pa

And that's what makes baseball awesome. Everyone knows the tie goes to the runner but it's not an official rule apparently. The soul of baseball is in the squishy parts. Quantifying the life out of it is not a good idea.

The entire premise of sports relies on the assumption that the rules are adjudicated fairly . Part of the soul of the game is learning the umpire's particular strike zone and adjusting accordingly. I'm with OP. Fun is being repla

No, I'm with you. And maybe it's just because I'm an old man, but this is another place where joy and wonder (meaning arguing with friends lol) are replaced with data. It just sucks some of the fun out. The quest for eternal
