If I'm not completely natural, then the entire population should have access to subsidized ozempic. Got it.

Because you can buy sugar from the store, having the US subsidize ozempic for for the entire population makes logical sense. Got it.

Yeah, what could go wrong with screwing with the neurochemical reward system of the entire population. Surely that will have no unintended side effects. It's literally a free lunch!

Computer, shitpost memes all day that make me crypto while I raise my family and tend to my garden. The future is heading in the direction of only suckers using computers. Real wealth is not touching a computer for anything.

Exactly. Personalized ads are now prompt injection vectors.

How long until "computer use" is tricked into entering PII or PHI into an attackers website?

We are approaching FSD for the computer, with all of the lofty promises, and all of the horrible accidents.

As someone who has done fake work knowingly, what do you say to me? That I was actually providing real progress, just that it was difficult to measure, and I am fooling myself? No, it was fake work, and I've seen many peers do the same

It's not progress. Every organization has "load bearing" employees that do the brunt of the real work, and everyone else just creates a cloud of confusion about what they actually do and why it's important. Most people a

Thanks for sharing. It's an interesting idea, to try to trampoline it into another related commercial project. I just checked my RTD analytics, I get around 1k pageviews to `/` per month. Unfortunately I don't have a related

I've maintained a fairly popular open source project for over 13 years[1]. The software is basically "complete." How does funding work for someone like me? I have no initiatives with it that require funding. Occasionally, I n

I'm trying to give them the benefit of the doubt that it is a real experience, but yes it currently reads like marketing material aimed at the obese, depressed tech worker.

In the future, this would be indistinguishable from an ad.

Somewhat related, I have a short rant about embedded browsers killing the web. Embedded browsers make it impossible (literally in some cases, figuratively in others) to use social OAuth. If you click a link on Instagram, which by default op

Do any tech people here with strong neuroticism have experience or techniques for overcoming it? It feels ingrained in my personality.

Can you describe the incentive structure that makes sure Australians require less drugs in general? That's the bigger picture. Getting a discount on something you shouldn't need in the first place is not a win.

You seem to be under the impression that the government works on your behalf to save you money.

It isn't as binary as you're making it. You can hire people who don't have conflicts of interest, or the perception of conflicts of interests.

Pharma love when governments are on the hook for their outlandish prices. It's why there's a revolving door between public and private...to smooth deals like these.

I can't wait until little Johnny's AI assistant (that's been with him since birth) can communicate to Big Tech's Global HR Overlord AI and they can decide together that a good job is not a privilege that a wrongthinker l

Can you say more about how developers will use this? Is the api going to be exposed to participants?

>Honestly this is the future of call centers. This feels like retro futurism, where we take old ideas and apply a futuristic twist. It feels much more likely that call centers will cease to be relevant, before this tech is ever integrate

A company recently demoed to me that they have the ability to see the work history, credit report, and bank balance of a visitor that visits a site with some tracking code, in under 500ms. They use this information for a product that qualif

It's only going to get worse. There's a storm coming. The ageing open source engineers who hold up the whole house of cards cannot keep going indefinitely. It's going to turn into tragedy of the commons very quickly.
