There's this West Wing scene where Toby's asking Josh how he gets women and he says "the smart, funny thing... plus I have the boyish thing", and Toby says "I don't have that" (he …

It's been pretty disheartening to watch SWEs rediscover/reinvent the SDLC.

My partner is a sleep consultant, and most of the time the families she works with are at their wits end and their marriage is hanging by a thread. Having young kids is incredibly …

No one knows where that is. I've also heard this is very common in the northern Scandinavian countries, there are even little "houses" you can buy.

You're gonna get neck issues working off that tray table too my friend.

I honestly thought like, the protocol was seat up for take off/food/landing, reclining otherwise.

Yeah but you're also not like "my genius kid will put you all out of work".

What if you also recline?

Nilay Patel (I'm gonna get this slightly wrong) has this story where he was talking to an airline CEO about standing-only tickets and the guy said "I know two things. If we did sta…

TFA says "no hallucinations" but you can't fix hallucinations with rules or other models. I know I'm screaming into the void but whatever.

First, I beg people to read Annie Lowrey's "The Great Affordability Crisis" ( https://xcancel.com/i/article/2077113148524417439 ), which is criminally under read. Second and more f…

Cool looking forward to reams of AI slop in a language I can't possible know. A reasonable way to live your life is to do the opposite of whatever Thoughtworks says you should do.

Fine, let em have little video recorders then

The power balance is tilted heavily towards employers though, no? If I quit you still have things like income and health care. If you fire me, not so much.

I think this is actually the norm.

My hottest policy take is that all physicians have to watch House all the way through.

No, I/P is a huge purity test for the DSA. They explicitly do not endorse people, for example AOC, for having any nuance in their position whatsoever. They are looney tunes. https:…

Yeah, exactly. To be clear, I'm not advocating for loli hentai or CSAM. I'm closer to the ban Internet porn side of things. But it's not because I think it turns you into a degener…

Privacy is a requirement for freedom. You would act differently if everyone/the government knew everything you were thinking/saying/doing. The watchers would also act differently (…
