While you're at it, give AI to the 3 employees and they will do the work of 30 /s

Football world cups are always entertaining. There are always big upsets, big fairy tales, and big controversies. I have been watching them live since 1994 when I was in 4th grade.…

Americans (Kushner et al.) looked at an opportunity to make money and found a willing ally in Infantino, and they took it. I am Asian. Our country FA is corrupt as hell too. The wa…

It just means AI does not share the ethics or values that we have. It knows that many people cheat, take shortcuts, and become successful by doing so, so it's just doing that.

I think you're vastly overestimating Anthropic. After they switched tooling from Microsoft to Anthropic at work, I switched to Gemma 4 and Opencode. I've been in this industry for …

> have only an enthusiast's understanding of rockets and physics, so I'm genuinely open-minded to the possibility. I used to be open minded too but lost all sense of credibility in…

This. If I didn't pirate movies and games and Windows and apps when I was young, I probably wouldn't be in a position to pay for multiple streaming and Xbox subscription now.

It's such a shame. OnePlus have been developer-unfriendly for a while and alienated their most loyal customers. I still think their phones provide best bang for the buck performanc…

I have used click/typer packages to build some python-based CLI programs. It's easy and user-friendly way to build, but the amount of time it takes for python to start the environm…

I think flying apache helicopters to salute a musician at his home or beachgoers on 4th of July counts as waste, and are not really important to anybody. So are the remodeling of r…

Thanks to Facebook I am finding out that those people I grew up with and had connections have become assholes and would behave like one in public forums, even at the matured age of…

I went to our pediatric ophthalmologist's office yesterday. There was another young person in the room, and our doctor asked if we mind if she's scribing. When leaving I commented …

For deriving work/energy, yes. Once you factor in time rate, you're deriving power.

This. And it's not just the Russian oligarchs. In 2024 a corrupt government was toppled in Bangladesh. In subsequent investigations it was revealed that just one member of the cabi…

Original comment is correct, it's not momentum. Work (hence, energy) is integral of force over distance, momentum is integral over time. There's not "sorta" about high school physi…

Is this why you're in the minority?

Unrelated but the animated photo of the magician performing a shuffle really shows how advanced, efficient, and deliberate our limbs are. I randomly came across a 1979 bbc document…

Indeed, according to Cursor leaderboard there were folks committing 200k-300k lines of code every month. And here I am intentionally slowing myself down manually approving every AI…

I work at a 20k-employee company with footprint in tech. A couple of weeks ago a decision was made to not renew Cursor license. This week it was made public and has been greeted wi…

Mainly they admitted that they lost substantial amount of subscribers when they hiked game pass prices last year. They also gave away free Xbox consoles to attendees at Xbox fanfes…

I didn't create an Apple ID. The MacBook is from work and I use AD account to access it.

I have used a Windows OS almost every day of my life since 1999 or so. Last December I had a choice and switched to MacOS for work laptop. Since then I seldom use Windows and I don…

For me, investing in hardware seems to be the way to go. I learned coding nearly 24 years ago and still learning new stuff all the time. At no point in time I had to rely on a subs…

150k-200k base offered to a fresh grad for some python and low-level, data intensive work. Really shocking.
