My local locations are busy even during those times. it's a constant battle.

I park in the back any time I go to Costco. the locations nearest to me are always packed to the brim. even the sort of "secret" extra spots that are behind the building and could be considered employee spots.

ample parking? Not at any locations in my area. Even on weekdays.

When I was a kid I needed growth hormone shots. we used regular syringes that fit into this tan plastic "gun" thing. you pulled back the top into a locked position. placed the tip of the gun to the skin where the needle should inj

there have got to be better ways to optimize pipelines. maybe set a limit on number of applications for a role based on the number you/your team can reliably go through them. if more are needed then open the role for another wave of ap

If you're not already, try to see if those companies have engineering blogs or open github repos where you can see how they feel about AI beforehand.

what are you using on yours? I've got a M4 Pro 24GB also. tried the open source gpt one. it's alright but I found it can get stuck at times. maybe just my config in LM Studio.

I think planning is a big part. ironically, this wasn't a part of my typical routine as an engineer before AI came around. Sure I thought through the work or ticket I was assigned but not always at as much of a birds eye view. Nowadays

One time I hopped in an Uber and got a missionary-like lecture on Islam and an invite to go to a mosque. More typical of Christians so it kind of threw me off. But anyway, a paid service shouldn't be starting that kind of conversation

we were doing the same thing and giggling a bit that it's basically "AI AI" now. realistically a lot of people thought of Siri as AI already.

While I partly agree, I also disagree. I still use Instagram a lot to keep in touch with friends I've made in different places. Generally as long as they are making posts then my feeds have those posts. It's only when they do not

I tried creating an entirely separate account for a meetup group and had the same problem. Nothing I tried worked.

as a student back in 2012, the CS program i was in was mostly people who wanted to make games. that's just one person's POV but most people i knew at the time weren't really into anything else in software.

At my most recent role we were definitely being judged by output metrics (both jira tickets completed and github prs merged). They showed us the jellyfish tool they used to check those metrics. Well, some of it. Regular ICs themselves didn&

A while back I had a reservation with a hotel on Booking and I received a phish attempt that came directly via the Booking site domain email and also DMs but "sent" by the hotel. When I looked into it at the time, it seemed less l

Are markers being removed here the same or similar to ones tools might add if you use an AI tool just to edit a photo? like a more complicated object removal in a photo editor?

I had a neighbor with a car they clearly wouldn't fix that desperately needed a smog check. reported them also. they moved away shortly after though, so i'm not sure if CARB ever followed through.

we were acquired and part of our org moved into cisco HQ. the entire floor were Indian other than our org, and over time our org was filled out with incoming transfers and new hires. i'll never forget some irony in that one of the engi

My current job is doing the exact same thing. My manager even showed me a tool with graphs showing token use and related metrics.

I'll have to try some more. I've been playing with gpt-oss 20b on my M4 24GB but it hasn't been the best experience.

Not only for those but being able to nitpick jira tickets or github PRs.

I have multiple Chase cards but they do look different from each other physically and in the Wallet app. Isn't that just a bank issue of not making cards differentiate from each other?

I saw someone else mention this idea, which is that GameStops could be used somewhat like Whole Foods is for Amazon. Basically a drop-off location if you're selling items, especially collectibles, and want to make the process of sendin

On a visit to Hiroshima, Japan, I went to the Mazda HQ for a factory tour. They took the group on a shuttle bus through their massive city-like complex and then we got to walk through one of the assembly-line buildings. Real fascinating exp

I'm not sure in this case it's AI per se so much as a change over time. At the first role I ever had 10+ years ago, we had a TV in our team's office space constantly showing our dashboard for our critical services and health.

I was recently job hunting and did something similar. Had it check my bullets and see if they "read well" and it suggested many many tweaks. I tried a few. I'm not sure how much more it helped the applications though.

I very vaguely recall using it right before I started using google. very early 2000s. it was ok.
