Does this 5% include people who have fallen out of the unemployed bucket into some sort of long term bucket? I know multiple people who have been looking for 6 months+. Not to mention underemployed.

Nah, you'll just be on it for the rest of your life. Drug companies prefer chronic illnesses since they cannot be cured, and recipients take the drug for life. All these hormones (GLP, testosterones, hrt) will need to be taken forever.

Ancedata, but those around me on it seem to have a lower tolerance for fatty and oily food, also increased sensitivity to sugar.

I think AI as a tool versus AI as a product are different. Even in coding you can see it with tab completion/agents v vibe coding. It's a spectrum and people are trying to find their personal divider on it. Additionally there are

Until your spouse/SO/sister/mother/girlfriend spurns a LEO, and then the LEO uses it to stalk and harass them. Talk to any LEO, they constantly misuse their data access to look up friends/family/neighbors to fi

These tools tend to be very expensive in my experience unless you are running your own monitoring cloud. Either you end up sampling traces at low rates to save on costs, or your observability bill is more than your infrastructure bill.

I have seen pushback on this kind of behavior because "users don't like error codes" or other such nonsense. UX and Product like to pretend nothing will ever break, and when it does they want some funny little image, not usef

I used to share a similar sentiment about speed, especially after having burned out hard around 30. But after recovering, I think I may have overcorrected. Momentum is very powerful, and it's hard to gain momentum at low speed. Speed i

You are getting downvoted, but I have heard Japan has surprisingly low literacy rates (well below the 99% stated by the government) for just this reason.

It's easier to throw yourself into a programming project as a programmer than learn completely new skills: art, design, music. Instead the fantasy is that either the game engine is so great people will come make games, or the game engi

I always thought menus had icons so they could be matched to the same functionality on the toolbar. If a menu lacks an icon, then it's probably not on the toolbar. This falls apart when there is no toolbar. But I have definitely found

I think this is common sentiment right now. Although if we extend the analogy we arrive at towers replacing mounds. People used to spend generation piling dirt and rocks to reach just a fraction of what steel can reach in seasons. No one be

Because the web was made to render documents, but users want apps. CSS in part is so confusing because its original incarnations pulled heavily from traditional print media layout terms. Everything since then was an attempt to leverage JS t

I burned a ton of tokens this summer trying to document our legacy codebase in hopes of quantifying parts ahead of a refactor. My conclusion was that LLMs are bad at this. It waffled between unhelpfully verbose to omitting key aspects. I ha

Yeah that was my understanding. Most things have multiple genes controlling them. Like there is no single eye or hair color gene.

My hope is that GenX doesn't fall for the socialist panic tactic like Boomers do. Until then we are going to be stuck with this situation for at least another decade.

I work in a post Covid office and even with about 1 to 6 ratio of desks to rooms, along just as many fart pods, it can be a struggle to find space during peak hours.

What do you mean by a two chromosome species? A quick google says pea plants have 14 chromosomes. I only looked because I had never heard of a species only having two chromosomes. Do you mean the traits he was selecting for only had two all

I interviewed there in 2024. Said no because they said I would have to commute from SF to Menlo Park 4 days a week. They explicitly said I could not work from the SF office before I even asked.

Apple did buy part of Intel in 2019. From what I was told, Intel failed to deliver a competitive 5G modem in time. Afterwards they sold the entire department to Apple. https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2019/07/ap

Do you have any proof that AI written instructions are better than human ones? I don't see why an AI would have an innate understanding on how best to prompt itself.

Plenty of colleges and universities started as job training. The Morrill land grant colleges were founded to study mechanical and agricultural arts, and that was over 150 years ago. Many of those are now the top state schools in the USA.

The last reason is the biggest imo. Previously if you didn't pay attention you would crash relatively often. Now you aren't punished in the same way. In the same way spell check made us worse spellers. You aren't required to

For this reason, Earth will never make new coal. New oil will be formed, but coal is mostly compressed cellulose. Today it would be digested instead.

Saw a joke theory saying that why Real Housewives of SLC has gotten so crazy recently is that the salt lake drying up has increased heavy metal content in the air and lowering IQ in the region.

Not completely. It might end up on the floss but it might also end up on your teeth or gums.
