> I've declined 2 of the postions due their team being even worse than my current one. What's your criteria to determine that? Is it just insider knowledge from those departments or do you systematically go over a checklist?

Not in your case as a business but for majority of people being banned on facebook and other social media could be a blessing in disguise.

Yes, software engineering is different in many areas but today a lot of it is CRUD and plumbing. While SW engineering will not die it will certainly transform a lot, quite possibly there will be fewer generalists than today and more specia

I don’t know what your intention is but I imagine that’s how more and more are going to push LLM slop on all corners of the internet. It’ll be easy to do in massive quantities.

You could get there somewhat. Do you exercise? Ready to put in some effort?

Two options the kids could adapt to. One of the partners will have to make a concession too but if it’s for the overall better health of the family it’s worth it IMO. Whats the point to live an unhealthy life?

Same question applies to all social media. Facebook and X are ridden with them. Youtube as well. I think they are everywhere. I try to stay away as much as I can, I do check the pulse from time to time and seems like there is more and more

Hey, ChatGPT can’t taste and is not trained on any taste data. Whatever it comes up with is interpreted by you or your wife into some delicious dishes I hope. But it’s you/her who is being creative with a text suggestion. Cookbooks on

What would kegels do for hemorrhoids? Maybe would help with rectal prolapse somewhat but still sitting on the toilet for a long time regularly is probably bad for you. You could squat instead.

It is a simplification that makes easier to grasp a paradigm. Sure, it could be taken to extremes and pretend nothing else exists outside this ‘everything is a … “ bubble. Luckily we can learn from others’ mistakes and not fall into traps t

I do experience lucid dreaming ocasionally without any effort of my own and without paying for an application either. I’m trying to understand whether doing more of it benefits me in any way beyond the ocassional episodes that come natural

I find that part depressing as well, like who would even listen to gen AI podcasts? Not even vetted by a person but just pumped out as filler like it’s some kind of soil fertilizer. There is already so much good human made content on the w

That seems a bit too much to ask, I want the piece of mind of knowing the browser keeps isolated sandboxes, if that philosophy changes I would be very uncomfortable using the browser. How about we go back to thick clients, with LLMs the eff

But the internet will change too. Many people feel cheated that all their contributions were gobbled up by big tech and used to train their models without any remuneration or credit. In my life I experienced a very open internet but the clo

No doubt about it, things will get very competitive in the software space and while anyone will be able to use generative AI tools, I think more will be expected for less.

I wonder what are the benefits from lucid dreaming. I read some claims that it’s possible we could gain access to some ‘hidden registry’ figuratively speaking by using methods such as lucid dreaming. However, I had a few lucid dreams in my

When I was a kid we’d be spending a whole day playing in snow. When we’d come home in the evening with ice on the shoes, hair and cold hands and feet - but not as bad as getting real frost bites - would have a little warm up. My grandmothe

Whe sometimes I sleep on my one of my arms and they go numb, when I reposition and I start to feel it it comes with immediate and excruciate pain that luckily dies in intensity after a few moments. I wonder if this is just compressed nerves

You can’t feel anything on that side of your big toe after how long? Is full recovery ever expected?

Sounds dystopic to me. I don’t always look at the display when typing. Having no way to look away is visual prison to me.

LLMs like GPT aren’t built to play chess, and here’s why: they’re made for handling language, not playing games with strict rules and strategies. Chess engines, like Stockfish, are designed specifically for analyzing board positions and mak
