Boxing. I love boxing, but having proper sparrings multiple times a week is insanely hard on the body and recovery. Putting on my Quest 3 lets me enjoy a boxing match or two without any damage to my body and need for recovery.

Exactly this. While I might scratch the surface of some topics, it helps me cast a wider net of cognitive exploration in the free time I have. This in turn leads me into deeper rabbit holes for things that pique my interest, leading to fast

There is multiple levels of AI engineers: 1. The actual deep ML researchers that work on models 2. The "AI engineer" who creates products based on LLM's 3. The "AI researchers" who basically just stack LLM's to

Telemarketing is mostly just sleazy upselling. And the _sleazy_ feeling is why most people avoid selling and salesmen, but it might just be sleazy from your perpsective. The best salesman I ever met was peddling boat tour tickets. He wore t

While these are often useful for setting some internal guidelines for promotions, I've found such an approach to usually end up creating a giant inverse bell, where one side of the curve is constrained by the framework while the other

Sorry man, but I literally know of startups invested into by YC where CEO's for 80% of their management decisions/vision/comms use ChatGPT ... or should I say some use Claude now, as they think it's smarter and does not

While impressive at first, this still needs depth, i.e. the movements resemble the sample, but there is a giant lack of details (information) in those movements. They are more of a "compressed version of a common denominator for these

This was super fun! Weirdly, it was harder to play with Elvis and Trump than it was with Stalin. Too bad the game finishes once you convince everyone. I'm quite surprised by the smoothness tho - considering it's a browser based 3D

It's not just testosterone. Viral infections and stress can cause multiple hormonal issues, from testosterone to insulin to thyroid, out of which a lot will be skipped or only a partial picture will be given during average blood test (

All these "why AI" ads, addons, features et al makes me think it's just middle managers having ideas on how to make their jobs easier and work the least while getting credit for bringing AI to the table. Reviewing emails, sum

Not sure if it's still possible, but in eastern europe back in 2010s you could buy bottles of liquid ephedrine nose drops without a prescription. The pharmacists would get raw ephedrine and mix it in the back, filling the generic nose

Can't wait to read that, I'll gladly take up arms on your side. The "academies" are mostly incubator for future bureaucrats, professors and bullshitters. I've seen so much talented artists get their spirits broken w

"non-managers / not-business-owners" usually do have a better way of using these technologies, unless the former have actually worked in the field or in the frontlines and then advanced to managers. It might sound condescendi

Ah yes, because LLMs and Generative AI are the peak of AI technology. And in these two years they have been popular, we should have already seen trillion gazillion dollar revenues. While yes, it is "brute force" and we'll pr

Because we are more socially interconnected, so the strings of society that keep us connected are also the ones constraining us. The "risk" of non-uniformity outweighs the gain for most people. Back then, doing something that soci

That is insanely cool! I've heard countless war stories from older ex-yu people about Galaksija and the early beginnings of the tech scenes on the territories, even about setting up the first proper internet connections and servers wit

Similar thing. Had time and autonomy from a client, so took sweet time examining the domain, the existing systems et al. Spent a few months writing the basis and the framework around what will be done, based on years and years of experience

Yes - the context is different. Current context is low sales, lower margins, lots of competition, falling stock price. In 2018, it was restructuring. In 2019, it was "profitability cuts". In 2022, it was "elon has bad vibes a

I always heard about Caravaggio from books and Internet, finding his paintings "ok, realistic, cool for the time, skilfully made". Then I saw a few live. The chiaroscuro theatre of shadow and light, the insane details, the dynami

Admins not killing old accounts is a security hole that I'd say 50% of companies I worked with had/have. I can still log into the google workspace, slack, check out confidential documents on drive (not because of transparency, but

It's quite amusing to see how many obfuscation layers it goes through, but also how many different security issues it relies on to propagate. Seems like there is a ton of thought put into it, but it's most probably just a collecti

Sadly true, and it is influencing the tech scene as we know it a lot. While before, you would be a generalist first, specialist second - now it is demanded you are specialist first, generalist second, especially since programming is perceiv

Got the same feeling - this is designed for people who turn taking notes into a _thing_ in itself. The productivity nerds. Linking their notes, categorising, organising, diligently making sure their knowledge base is up to date. And that is
