Had to click through and look, he looks great IMO. There are people who look odd at a sub 15% bf at any age but he isn’t one, to my eye. He does have a bit of the TRT look but not extreme. Edit after actually reading: the article is a co

Also the unexpectedly large mass of the Higgs, which suggested (to string theorists), super symmetry. Which unfortunately turned out to not exist unless it’s at some configuration that’s quite different from what was suggested

Good for her. The exit tech alone should be proof enough that you don’t have to be physically close to tHe bUsINeSs to bring value to millions of customers.

No doubt true but I laughed reading this because I have an A/C technician working at my house right now, for like the tenth time this year.

> For me to be wrong, there will have to be sudden, remarkable changes in either enterprise software spend, or the capabilities and costs of generative AI itself. The former could but wouldn’t necessarily follow from the latter. And why

It looks dire but it seems too early for the nearly-always-wrong naysayer crowd to be right & take their victory lap. Maybe not. But I always thought that, especially with their lobbying efforts and desire to project a sense of serious

Yes, ClickUp was the worst I’ve used out of Pivotal Tracker, Trello, Wrike, Jira, Excel, Notion Calvinball, threatening emails, or text files

Interesting! It would be nice to solve dark matter & excise inflation in one stroke (or a few strokes). My lay understanding of PBHs—as-dark-matter is that it has been whittled down to a pretty tight range of their masses, though, bound

Interesting read. Her proposal for a “bounce” cosmology sounds like it has a neat explanation for why things appear smooth, but as far as why/how the universe should bounce at all (especially given current consensus that the current un

It’s honestly top of mind question for someone like me, who loves Clojure but doesn’t want to be disadvantaged for this reason. Like I wonder if the “Blub paradox” is still real or if we’re in a world where “if Blub isn’t the answer you ar

Not asking, and pressing on, “How?” in most of these is journalistic malpractice. “Does it involve creation of technology that doesn’t exist now?” “Does it involve physically impossible nanotech?” “Does it involve assuming the personal safe

I grew up in the country & enjoy the sounds mostly. Except the time I was camping and there was a whippoorwill nearby; I was just about crazy by the time the sun came up

OKCupid, Manhattan. NYC is OP for 30-ish dating. I understand it’s gotten worse —not nyc specifically but online dating generally - but idk if that’s just noise that Xitter inexplicably wants to fill my timeline with. This was 2014, just

Not sure about the others but I don’t think Ellison is walking. Her reward for cooperation was just a letter to the sentencing judge noting her cooperation.

This is me. Just bought a CRV Hybrid, as a long time Honda driver, and I love it. I would’ve bought electric except that most of them have taken Tesla’s example and decided that electric has to also mean “screens and weird design decisions

1 in 1.8 million for HIV and 1 in 750k for Hep C according to Google. When I had my surgery 10 years ago I remember them quoting worse numbers, I think 1 in 300k for the latter. I went with the self-graft, though moreso bc they said cadav

Like others downthread I recommend White Noise. But I highly recommend the Viking Critical Edition — which will explain what you’re missing. (I mean, skip if you loathe postmodern litcrit; but I found the batch of essays/analyses wel

One time I had to take a ride in a stretch limo for a long ride to an airport because it was the only thing the car service had on short notice. I know they’re not meant for highway travel, but it was easily the worst ride I’ve ever experie

Same experience. My wife ate extra peanut butter while pregnant and nursing (offtopic but maybe relevant), and we tried giving my daughter the tiniest dab of peanut butter very early, and the reaction was nuts. We watched with rising panic

I did this transition in my late 20s, and it changed my life for the better. It wasn’t easy; I wrote about it here some years ago (I’m now almost 40): http://jeremyraines.com/2015/12/20/the-road-to-in-demand-d
