Drives better, isn't distracted, doesn't get lost, care are always clean, will always take you where you want to go day or night, and yeah, no human.

It's a race to retool. If he can retool to an agentic coding environment quickly he will be OK. Might have to build up the skills outside of work if the current job doesn't allow f…

Yes! I was able to drink an Italian soda this week and not feel like "oh God I'm drinking my calories I'm going to be punished for this on the scales later".

Nothing in this world is free, GLP-1s have their downsides (excluding cost). Mostly it's nausea and gastrointestinal distress side effects. These tend to cool down over time, but i…

Yeah, you see, this is the same thinking that leads you to say "People who are depressed should just think happier thoughts."

This is it. I am on GLP-1 (Zepbound). I have done Weight Watchers multiple times. I'd lose the weight for a little bit, then it would come back. The reason was _I was hungry all th…

Yes, it can do. At Big Tech Company I Work At the LLM is quite happy to make raw API calls. If it thinks the data is big, then it'll write a Python tool to do it. The reason crafte…

I think having highways turned off has really hurt pickup times and availability in South Bay right now. It pays to always book as far ahead in advance as you can. There are places…

This is a male perspective. My wife will not ride alone in Uber's because she's had one too many uncomfortable -> possibly dangerous situations. This appears to be true for all of …

I switched from iPhone to Pixel after I couldn't stand Liquid Glass and found myself using Gemini more than I expected. If you're in the Google ecosystem like Gmail and Calendar, i…

I would love for this to be more public knowledge. I think the general public (and myself for a long time) believes the AI people know how this stuff works end to end, and so it mu…

The majority of people in the world cannot complete a half marathon, let alone under two hours. I was pleased to train enough that I managed under three. You're doing great!

I'm going to be charitable and say that the papers from prestigious universities were honest mistakes rather than paper mill university fabrications. One thing that has bothered me…

"only if you are Yahoo!" is one of the best line reads of all time.

I honestly have no idea; I left academia 12 years ago now. I do know that game research continued (e.g. the conference I published that paper in continues: http://fdg2025.org/ and …

I'm a co-author of the first paper cited in the citations page, "Dark Patterns in the Design of Games" http://www.fdg2013.org/program/papers/paper06_zagal_etal.pdf I see at least s…

This happens to me >70% in the Bay peninsula now.

RDNA 3 is going to hold this machine back. DLSS is far and away better, but Nvidia's apathy towards Linux has made playing on something like Bazzite a worse experience. Nvidia has …

I've been really happy with the TP-Link smart plugs. I keep upgrading them as The Latest Standard That's Definitely The Real One This Time Trust Us Bro comes out, and the Matter on…

I think it's a "yes but" here. AI is the first transition point since the smartphone. Apple knows how to make hardware, and knows how to make software. I am extremely unconvinced A…

How does the finger thing work? What's he doing? I saw him tippy-tappy but it didn't seem like he's moving through some invisible keyboard.

Yeah, not going to lie, working at Google and having unlimited access to Gemini sure is nice (even if it has performance issues vs Claude Code… I can’t say as I can’t use it at wor…

Agreed. The most unique thing I find with vibecoding is not that it presses all the keyboard buttons. That’s a big timesaver, but it’s not going to make your code “better” as it ha…

I managed to get a Waymo after a big event at Intuit Dome. It found a reasonable place to pick me up a couple blocks away. I didn’t have to try calling the driver to get them to fi…
