That's certainly a consideration. The story I tell myself is that brought a skill set to the job that the organization I work for otherwise couldn't afford and took a salary well below the market rate for the position. It's a

I struggle with this. I feel so guilty for replacing my four year old phone this week, even though my old phone has had hardware issues for more than a year. There wasn't really a puritanical element for me, it seems to be just from gr

I'm perhaps pathologically frugal myself. I've found for myself the best compromise is to force yourself to pick at least one feature other than cost. We've got a 17 year old Toyota Yaris that I tell myself is for fuel effici

It actually sits right about in the middle of all countries for percentage of GDP from industrial sectors. It's pretty heavily fossil-fuel powered right now, but like most of the rest of the world Morocco is planning to capture most of

At twelve cents for a half tail or twenty five cents for a full tail, I think I'll stick to just watching them climb trees and bury nuts. Especially since I'm expected to salt, straighten, and dry the tails first.

I've had to change my video and music consumption habits, because I fall asleep fairly often with either music or videos playing in the background (bad habit, I know). I'm always sure to switch to a playlist running locally when I

> The store exists, but employee didn't show up to open it. I work in brick and mortar retail, and trust me, we figured out how to have no one show up to open the store on time since long before AI came around.

These are actually really great examples, because I've done several similar things with a more code-based deterministic approach, still utilizing an LLM. I also have a number of sites that I query regularly with LLMs, but I use a combi

That's actually the best hypothesis I've heard to date. My immediate reaction to anything someone says they're using OpenClaw for is "That's great, but it would have taken the same amount of effort to ask your LLM t

That was the one I struggled the most with. I generally mean social invitations sincerely, and expect that other people do too, but also my social anxiety leaves me somewhat relieved if we don't follow through.

I think where the analogy falls apart isn't whether or not there may be expired products on the shelves, it's whether or not the store will make a reasonable effort to make it right and either refund your money or replace the prod

I'd offer an edit that the most important skill may be knowing when the agent is wrong. There's so much hand wringing about people not understanding how LLMs work and not nearly enough hand wringing about people not understanding

Some of us live off-grid. Some of us live on-grid but the grid is unstable (or we think it may become unstable in the future). Some of us do not have the same time/effort versus money tradeoffs that you do. Some of us want to reduce ou

I mean, I'm not arguing that if you can find a way to make a large amount of money in an ethical way without enriching yourself or the wealthy further and then find a way to accurately evaluate charities to maximize impact, that you sh

Being a quant is inherently accumulating and growing someone's wealth for them, even if it's not your own. If there were a way to be a true Robin Hood and only extract wealth from the wealthy and redistribute that to poor, I'

I knew this canned rebuttal was coming and almost addressed it in my previous comment. I've not found this to be true at all, for a variety of reasons. One of my moral principles that extreme wealth accumulation by any individual is ul

I guess it depends on what games you play. I have an AI Max 395 (Framework Desktop) and it runs every game in my library flawlessly. I'm sure if I played this year's most resource-intensive games it might stutter, but I don't

I think it depends. Honestly, for me, the alternative to automated notes from meetings is that I don't take notes. I know, I should, but I don't. I've tried numerous times to instill the habit unsuccessfully. Where the value

I've owned cars with backup cameras since about 2014. I still mostly back up the old fashioned way, and really only use the camera for very tight situations where a few inches matter.

Wages and time off are not frictionlessly interchangeable in the vast majority of jobs. Mandating minimum levels for both helps make sure people have access to both.

A standardized hammer can just be a carpenter's hammer, though. Putting a nail pull on the back side is making it opinionated in a way that gives users access to a tool that they may not have thought of if they built their own hammer,
