I think we are in agreement on your points, I'm only stressing that we can't take an attitude of "sucks to be you!" if Social Security "runs out of money". Many folks will need this, no matter how they got to

"covers" is pulling a lot of weight here, I know a lot of folks with pretty small balances, and/or who "had" to withdraw due to medical or other emergencies. They need a govt pension, otherwise we are going to have

They really don't seem to work that way, it's not a calorie minusing weight loss pill.

Talking to everyday people you need to realize that many many folks count on this govt pension and Medicare to live at all when they can't work. It's not an option. Company pensions are long gone, and 401Ks are only somewhat rec

GLP-1 meds are so effective, and likely will be cheap enough for most that I worry that there will be a "RTO" type push from companies to ban or discourage them due to the financial impact on food, snack, booze companies.

Really neat, and made me realize we are getting close to having these type of cute robots at home. With LLMs and voice they would be pretty entertaining companions for many people.

Glassdoor pulled that crap with me ironically after a lot of interviews for a senior position that they reached out to me for.

Svelte has a pretty nice support for this via https://svelte.dev/docs/svelte/custom-elements It's not a no-build option though.

I use Claude and not crapping on it or the boosters, but most of the people who I've encountered in real life who really gush about it, are either semi-technical, and who struggle in some way when coding. Non technical CEO of small st

Nitpicking but I hate how "career" is always used when talking about women's choices, when it's just a damn job. Most women work because they have to. It's not a "career".

This is probably why there’s so much attention on LLM powered coding tools, as it’s one of the few use cases that seem like people would actually pay for it. Ironically mostly developers, who are being marketed as being replaced by AI.

I don't know what they are thinking, the kiosks are not cheap to install or maintain, they are buggy, and they've put me off from going into McDs anymore. The In-N-Out nearby is cheaper, friendlier with plenty of employees workin

I always took it as a plus for soft internationalization, e.g. we may not have translated or localized to the current user language, but icons area decent generic hint.

And I'm continually blown away that the modern titans of industry readily bow down to glorified twitter rants and non-technical HR busybodies who pushed DEI internally?

Not to be cynical but that's said a lot in acquisitions by bigger companies to motivate some people to stay, but just doesn't seem to happen.

My personal take is this would be like JavaScript adopting an optional Coffeescript[1] syntax. It's so different that it seems odd to make it an option vs a new language, etc. [1] https://coffeescript.org/#introduction

It's kinda funny that 20 years ago the Mac cases were translucent plastic, and the UI was brushed metal, now it's the opposite, lol.
