The idea of prompt “engineering” strikes me as nonsense. I’ve spent many hours on Midjourney, and it makes some astonishing artworks. But it essentially never makes what you expect. I see that as a feature rather than a bug. Instead of prof

I am diagnosed with ADHD and despite feeling like I’ve learned a lot about my condition I found ideas in this article new and stimulating. The idea of “pathologized” inattention makes complete sense on paper—of course if you sell attention-

This is definitely the standard view among a lot of people, though I personally fear we’ll instead be saying “AI is the only story that matters” in 5-10 years if not sooner.

You can help with writing skills-wise, but the thing with essays is that they are subjective and do not have a single correct answer. I took a few STEM courses and found that it was common for STEM students to work together on problem sets

I guess the “study finds” part of this article is about the specific numbers of migrants and the evidence being used to calculate them. I don’t think it’s news that there was a huge amount of European migration to the British isles from Rom

I think about this often with regards to my mood. Due to brain chemical imbalances I often just feel depressed. But this is tolerable and not the end of the world—the problem comes when my brain starts to invent (confabulate!) explanation

I sympathize with this take but as someone who was fortunate enough to attend private schools throughout my education let me just say, I also have stress dreams about school. I finished college 8 years ago.

It may amuse you to know that, as a sociology major myself, I always envied my engineering school friends because they didn’t have to do nearly as much reading as me and it was possible for them to help one another on problem sets in a way

I’ve been waiting for an article like this. I feel much the same way. My question for the author is, what do we do about it? I’d love to make some friends who share my worldview and go camp off-grid with them once a month to be in touch wit

This is fun, we used to do something like this in high school called Five Clicks to Jesus, which is exactly what it sounds like. I find this particular version a bit tedious because you aren't allowed to Find on a page. What good is ha

I work for myself and love it but it isn't for the faint of heart. If you want to work for yourself I recommend first working for other people for 5-10 years—basically, get paid to learn your industry. Then when you can't rise any

On one hand, headlines like this come off as so cliche as to be a literal Twitter joke—"Oh you're depressed? Why don't you just cheer up?"—but on the other hand, I think that people dismiss the potential of cognitive tec

I love and agree with this article, but I do want to defend the Pomodoro method. In brief, if you already don't enjoy what you are doing for work, applying a new time management strategy to that work will not increase your enjoyment. H

This is the consultant training course I never received but wish I had. Even now, 8 years into my consulting career (not tech but many of these ideas still apply), I found a lot here that either confirms what I've learned the hard way

I literally received one of these today. When I clicked the spam button in Gmail it asked not just if I wanted to "mark as spam" but also "mark as spam and unsubscribe." I clicked the latter, and it took me to a seemingl

What discrimination did he face? Surely you aren't arguing that his book—which, crucially, did ultimately sell and get published—being initially rejected by a couple of publishers constitutes "discrimination." Books, as I sai

I don't consider any internet forums I visit to be actual communities. I'm glad you got to experience this idyllic small-town community. That wasn't an option for me. My town was the poorest in my state, so I went to the best

I'm not a digital nomad, just a person who isn't as cynical as you. I've known digital nomads though. One of them bought a house with the woman he met in that country and remains to this day. Maybe you should reflect on why y

> Communities are created over years or decades by people who stick around to plant roots and build homes, lives, and businesses This is nonsense, community is simply about about shared experience and can absolutely happen with strangers

I feel like I read a completely different article than some other commenters here. This article is a clear and persuasive statement on how unoriginal "critiques" of wokeness are, as well as on the irony of a white man complaining

Feels like I'm missing some context here. I guess the point is to chuckle, since this was posted in 1999 before it became evident that in fact markets are dumb and gullible and if you have a popular enough website you can own entire on

All the facts here are fine but I'm left wondering, what are the stakes of "proving" how great America is? What good do all those aircraft carriers do me? Holding down the Chinese, I guess. But then, isn't holding the re

The important thing seems to be heart rate. If you're a slow runner distance alone might not get you there. A series of sufficiently hard sprints and breaks that stretches over 30 minutes is better than 30 minutes of continuous jogging

Interesting article. I agree with other commenters that change in medical science over time probably necessitates changes in the industry, but I don't think this precludes making the work of medical professionals less onerous and expen

I don't intend any criticism of you personally but I wouldn't appreciate a friend or coworker who behaved this way. Making bold, wrong statements all the time is bound to annoy people and drive them off, not entice them to tailor

Wonderful share, thank you. The voice of this is so pitch-perfectly 20th century American. Full of folksy little observations that are actually enormous in their scope without being remotely alienating, like this one: "It looked like o

Judging by the name of the blog (FAANG FIRE) I suspect this person is plenty well compensated in some sort of prestigious tech job, and if that's the case, then this number doesn't surprise me at all. There are lots of trendy athl

Just a small contribution to the discussion: my understanding is that alcohol also had a lot to do with loosening soldiers up enough that they'd be willing to actually charge the enemy. They don't call it "liquid courage&quot

So relieved I'm not alone in this. BR was top of my to-watch list after years of recommendations from friends, family, and the culture at large. And I finally sat down to watch it and it was downright bizarre. I read the book it's
