When you think about it, it's probably not actually that easy to kill 440 squirrels in a way that doesn't give everyone involved PTSD, if said people are not already used to doing such a task and already have methods and equipment

The sad thing about all those observations is, all these things surely happen anyway, and lots of people end up in jail anyway, because they don't have good representation to point out how they've been railroaded and they've

Buffett invested in boring industries like insurance. As unexciting as it is, businesses like that basically are the invisible infrastructure that makes society work smoothly. Don't misunderstand flashy at the only way to be important.

I agree and I think furthermore no one has really understood technology enough to have consistently made the right moves, because tech stocks fundamentally were blazing a new trail. Buffett invested in businesses that, relatively speaking,

I've worked at companies that use both Slack and Teams, and the chat culture that Slack creates is hugely different than Teams. Have you experienced both? Teams chat rooms are ghost towns compared to Slack. The UX of teams discourag

Been using it for over 10 years and I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. I suppose I didn't use the features you're mentioning. For me, it's basically exactly the same except the sidebar is now wider becau

In my experience the discussions move to insecure channels like WhatsApp too, which is hilarious.

Mostly the latter IMO. The most popular bar where I grew up is on a busy highway with no housing within walking distance. Parking lot reliably fills up every weekend night, mostly with single occupancy vehicles. You can do the math.

It's kind of funny to me how impossible it is to distinguish hype that's around an underlying technology that is going to really change things, and hype that is around an underlying technology that is not going to do anything. I t

Hah, honestly I have no idea, but that does sound like something that could have happened. It's funny how memory fades and we are only left with snippets as we get older.

It's the same for us in the US honestly, the shipping companies are ridiculous with this. Someone in my company sent me a hoodie, in a soft package, cost on it said $14.50. Ridiculous! And they don't even discount you for bringi

Also, didn't Deepseek demonstrate that enormous compute is not a pre-requisite? All these analyses completely ignore the possibility of a breakthrough in the technology that drives costs down by orders of magnitude.

This guy is verging on a crank at this point, every article I've read from him is just spewing FUD about OpenAI, and AI in general. Just click his name at the top of the article and read the titles. With someone like this, even with t

I did it this way back in 2007 when I didn't even have a smartphone, you can develop an eye for it at the ground level as well. I camped 8 nights without paying once and never had an issue. The only time I had to resort to help was i

I did a bike tour way back when, I really liked using a BOB trailer. It kept the weight off the bike, so when you weren't going uphill, you almost didn't notice it was there. My bike was clean though, only water bottles on it ba

Life is risk. Compared to journeys undertaken by those in the past, this trip had an extremely minimal chance of disaster. I mean, the guy had a satellite phone! Unless he literally crashed his bike and died on the side of the road, the

You can but while you wait your money is gone, you can't use it. With a credit card it's the bank's money that is missing in the case of fraud or charge back.

Even with the same nominal protection, with credit I don't lose anything. With debit the money is missing from my account until the case is resolved. I know I prefer to only put the bank's money at risk, not my own.

I think there is something to viruses being a big agent of aging. I'm 40 and recently came down with a bad case of norovirus, followed by some kind of flu-like thing. 3 weeks of illness. Afterwards, I felt as if I had aged 10 years,

This is probably the best description of the central issue I've seen. I know even in my own work, which is a very narrow domain in software, I've found it troublesome to automate myself. Not because the code I write is unique or

Spoken like someone who has never had to do it. I've been up and down the ladder and I can tell you that it's much harder up than down, even though from afar it doesn't look like it. If it's easy for someone it's b

Wait, so you're saying you had to do a chant as a SWE? That's wild. I'm really glad I never took up the recruiters for Walmart Labs now, that would have been a disaster for me.

Gotcha, yeah those are much more overt than I was expecting. I hope you get it figured out. I was expecting it would be more like generic concentration and memory issues. For what it's worth, my dad got a form of dementia and the hal

Are you willing to share more about how you detected/measured the decline? I have felt a bit paranoid it's happening to me but I'm not sure how to be sure.

I have a Google Keep note where I record the results from the last workout. I figured out I really only need that. I don't need history, I just need to know how long ago was the last workout, how much did I lift / time under ten

Some Starbucks orders can compress 4 cups of coffee into one. The MG of caffeine in one of the larger orders can be enormous.
