There is a joy and psychological benefit to having minor, positive social interactions. If you are mostly seeing your partner and coworkers, or even working from home, you may not realize how little human interaction you have. This is not t

This makes a lot of sense and as you said probably accounts for fewer than 10% of drive through users.

I don't have kids because I value the 5-10 minutes I save when getting out of my car to interact with people face to face in a restaurant.

I appreciate your scholarly devotion to the language and it's diverse array of punctuation. In the future you may consider reading the letters in between the punctuation, which are often used to convey the thoughts and feelings of the

I don't understand the appeal of drive throughs?s? In my area there are dozens of people idling for 10-15 minutes in the Starbucks drive through even though we have a municipal "no idling" bylaw to reduce emissions. The line

The value isn't to the milk cartel, it's to alternative milk producers. Imagine an ad for a new oat milk with "milk.com" as the domain. It's got a ton of media value.

This story is giving "I leave OWASP top 10 vulns in my code because hacker mindset". It's not that hard to configure access controls, they're probably cutting corners on other areas as well. I wouldn't trust anythin

> I don't see the irony at all. But I guess your point is that posting 'on the "250k a year to type prompts into a AI to get the wrong answer" website' makes your comments somehow irrelevant and/or meaningle

As someone who is AI skeptical, there's so many breathless posts like "Jizz-7 Thinking (Good) (Big Balls) can order my morning coffee!" which are a lot of words talking about one person's subjective experience of using s

Segways existed for a long time and they never took off. Zeppelins too. Not every technology automatically gets good just because time passes.

I think Ed hits on an interesting point about the new user who spends $4 on a TODO file. Current LLM users are very enthusiastic about finding different models for different use cases and evaluating the cost-benefit of those models. But the

People who play professional sports basically sacrifice the first 20 years of their life for a lotto ticket to get, on average, 2-4 years of playing time. There's a high risk of debilitating injury even if they're successful. As o

Dorsey and Tobi (Shopify CEO) are insane crypto true believers. It feels like they're trying to realize some ancap dream of Randian ubermensch controlling the whole economy and being answerable to noone.

Did you read TFA, which shows that developers are slower with AI and think they're faster ? The two types of responses to AI I see are your very defensive type, and people saying "I don't get it".

Calgary also has a pretty extensive Skyway designed to avoid going outside during the frigid winters.

In my experience what the founders usually get is a bigger locked up retention package. The investors want the cash, and the acquirer wants the founders to stay.

10 is a lot for a first time manager, but too few reports is also bad for a new manager. 4-5 direct reports is probably the sweet spot where you actually get some experience and the team is big enough that interpersonal stuff averages out.

This was my experience in a TLM role - you have to manage down to your ICs but you have little lateral or upward power. You're basically just conveying whatever your manager decides to do with your team, but with all the additional res

Don't worry, the US military will recoup the loss by extorting some more natural resources from Ukraine and building some sea-side condos in Gaza.

There's a paywall, but does TFA actually confirm if this is done for "image quality" or if it's used to improve compression ratios? I've seen both theories - that YouTube is deliberately applying an AI aesthetic to

As a Canadian I don't understand why people think Canada is different. We're just one step behind the US because there's less money to be made. But look at the concentration of wealth in the Weston family, the McCains, Rogers

Steam isn't the right place to sell a game that does 1M in total lifetime sales. Because like you said, it won't hit any recommendations and they'll take a huge cut. This is like complaining that AMC won't screen your st

NorthGuard looks like a clean sheet redesign of Kafka. The OSS Kafka community has taken a long time to implement things like KRaft, which addressed metadata scalability concerns by storing metadata in the brokers themselves (it used to be
