One rather sobering thing is to search both mean and median net worth for your age. For mine, mean is over 4x the median. You'd expect some divergence, but not nearly that much.

I'm going to doubt that. I was pushing GPT a couple weeks ago to test its limits. It's 100% unable to write compilable Go ASM syntax. In fairness it's slightly oddball, but enough exists that it's not esoteric. In the

I'm definitely one of those people. The first time I smelled it on someone I thought they were sick, it was sour just like pickle vinegar. Not overly dissimilar to a sour sweat smell. I couldn't believe it when I found out it wa

I have not. Feel free to educate me/post numbers or links. How impactful would a say, 1 year pause be to that? Is the number of jobs created by H1B each year > the number of H1B entries each year?

This is an absolute farce. I'm not so cold hearted or extreme to say 'shut it all down tomorrow', but it feels like at the very very least, in this job climate, we could suspend new entries? But it just keeps humming along li

It's pretty sickening, to be honest. For sobering data, check out the link below and look what happened in just 20 years. Unfortunately it stops at 2013, it's probably a solid orange blob today... https://www.bls.gov&#

Agreed. Feels like it would be rather wise to figure out a generally agreed upon upper and lower limit, and snip it on both ends. But we both know that every party will accuse the other of cheating, voter disenfranchisement, possibly even

I noticed this recently when I decided to watch Hitchcock's 'The Birds.' It was almost absurd to me not only how bland and drawn out most scenes were, but how absolutely poorly acted it was. If it were not famous(ie didn&#x2

This is mainly about A pillars, but one related problem I noticed and went through in particular are cars getting taller. Not just to sit in, but the entire body. My wife is only about 5' tall which to be fair is fairly short, but she

Years ago I watched a video of a young woman foreign worker from I think Philippines kill herself because of abuse. It really haunted me. And more research showed it's pretty common, as well as unsafe labor to the point of death, mos

I've always been a bit flummoxed we haven't expanded a ton on this given how long it's been. I'm not sure if it's wrong or right, and not smart enough to posit much, other than it -feels- wrong. But it wouldn'

I think that's long been the argument of simplicity. 'Simple to remember' vs 'simple to perform.' I tend to fall into the former camp. Something like BF would be the ultimate simple language, even if not particula

That's kinda my experience with watching Zig. It went from 'look how simple this is' to 'look at this new feature syntax' long ago. People used to compare it as simpler than Rust. I don't agree that it's

AFAIK, this generation has been widely slammed as a failure due to lack of new blockbuster games. Most things that came out were either for PS4, or remasters of said games. There have been a few decent sized games, but nothing at grand sca

Most of my use is actually local pickup or delivery, so I often use the 'In Store' filter often. It lasts only as long as that session, unfortunately.
