Gym is the steepest. Three years in and I still hate it.

It's been true for almost every business. "Cheap and good enough" usually trumps "excellent but expensive". Ikea, McDonald's, Ryanair, AliExpress, Aldi - these brands prove that ca…

The goal of human-in-the-loop is to have someone liable for potential damages, rather than to prevent disasters.

If my manager prefers to pay for SaaS while I sit on my ass rather than have me develop an in-house solution, how do LLMs drastically change the equation?

I know a North Korean guy who is rich. This proves that all other North Koreans who consider themselves poor are just whiny bitches.

I thought I'd care more, but all EA is releasing nowadays is normie slop anyway, so yeah.

Eh. Recently I invited a friend over to play games. I have Linux so it's normal that shit doesn't work but I came across a bug where Steam would just casually take 300% of CPU when…

> If you couldn't present it in a way such that it's obvious to Bob and everybody else that your solution is better, that's a failure on your part, not Bob's, the other participant…

Not wrong, especially at the time. I excel when I'm given my own chunk of job to work on with certain degree of freedom. I don't butt uninvited into other people's decisions, I exp…

This is one of the reasons why I want to exit the workforce and retire ASAP. I just cannot function in an environment where ignoring the elephant in the room is the expected behavi…

Once I've been to an interview where first they made us solve a problem in a group and then we had 1-1 interviews. After the group task the guy immediately asked me "Don't you have…

> You always knew that 80% of the people on any team or in any large company just didn’t care. But now you see who these people are out in the open. The system does NOT reward cari…

Big codebases tend to become a mess anyway so if your company has experience dealing with shit, the fact that now shit is AI-generated doesn't substantially change anything. And I'…

Good that you made the comparison with defense budget because it's becoming evident that AI is the new "nuclear bomb". First, if you have more advanced AI than your opponent, you j…

It works as intended. It's a part of cutthroat capitalism. The goal here is to make sure that basic service is unevenly distributed so that people who don't have it are motivated t…

It's okay, I can still repurpose it and make a handbag.

The problem is that most shopping we do is one-off, as opposed to being a recurring customer. For example, if you're selling bread, your potential customers are 1000 locals and if …

Yes, I've heard of this effect in marketing. If you make any reference to Switzerland, it's instant sales bump, even if you hold everything else equal. This is also how you got "Hä…

It's so weird to me that I'm on same social media as people worthy of targeted attacks. Like, I'm a total nobody, all I get is "Free Spins For You!" and "I am a dying German billio…

You're joking but done cleverly, it could legitimately be good business. Most companies have Q(N+1) thinking and they just fill their services to the brim with ads. Meanwhile I wou…

https://www.cbs.nl/nl-nl/nieuws/2024/36/1-op-de-5-mensen-woo... It's basically this graph. In 60's almost nobody was living alone (less than 400k people). In 2024 about 3,3 million…

I've posted it already, but at least in my country (Netherlands) it seems like the problem isn't the lack of housing, but lack of marriages. If people ages 30-60 married each other…

>People always want high trust societies. Disagree. High-trust can only exist in the absence of class disparity. You're not going to steal from your neighbor if your neighbor has e…
