Our team is assessing some new tools and one of our VPs produced a document just like this and none of us read it because it was obvious that it was generated slop and way too long…

I'm wondering what this could mean to the future of software work and AI use, care to weight in? I don't have a good mental model for this period of time (I do agree with your sens…

This is the exact phrasing I was just searching for, and I fear the same thing that this pop stoicism revival is trying to formalize some really asocial behaviors.

Definitely want to talk about this too. I've been thinking of my own daily learning through tools like Anki and trying to devise a sort of "life stack" where I'm adding stuff and r…

I tried to teach a group of HS students about orbital mechanics as a high school physics teacher using KSP. It was... difficult. Not impossible. But I agree it's an excellent learn…

This so much this. We don’t even have a good model for how invertebrate minds work or a good theory of mind. We can keep imitating understanding but it’s far from any actual intell…

My personal version of this was realizing that the bar for being a functional, relatively successful adult is FAR lower than I realized as a kid. Many adults can't get things which…

Personally this is what I’m hoping for. Stories I read about services sold as AI turning out to be minimum wage workers tells me that as much as everyone thinks this is the dawn of…

You've sent me down a really interesting rabbit hole as someone who is trying to move away from just writing and understanding how React works. Can you explain a little more why th…

If I had my druthers on specific industries to focus on it would likely be in either finance or some sort of logistics field. My last role was an education CMS product and while th…

US East Coast === Also Dead. edit: I'm a frontend focused JS/TS dev with 5 years experience and I was laid off at the end of May and never before has my anxiety been this high abou…

"Get out of the way, phlogiston theory, electromagnetics are here to stay."

I've been doing the same, my next car and hopefully my last will be an old Grand Marquis. I can fix it myself, no tracking, and just goes forever.

It does at the end of the article: "The procedure was performed under a Food and Drug Administration protocol known as a compassionate use provision, which is granted to patients w…

Glad to see that the Silverball Museum in Asbury Park, NJ has more machines than anywhere else to the state. Love that place.

NB/EB resident, has construction ever stopped in this area since 2000? I'm glad that 18 is finally (mostly) done as you say

Your 3rd bullet really hits hard, I had many colleagues at an old job who would do insane things for our company because they were on a visa and had purchased a home and they expla…

I'm so jealous of this. I live in a major metro area of NYC and there's still no fiber out to my town. This is so cool.

I totally agree I just feel like there's a sweet spot in the early 2000s where crash safety was better (not the best, but way closer to modern) and traction controls were standard …

Same here, I bought mine just as pandemic car prices plunged. It's not my primary right now but it might just become it. It's sad because I'm a car guy and I like some of the newer…

The more I read about these things, the more I think I'll be driving my 23 year old Toyota 4Runner until the end of my life

I taught physics for about 7 years and I completely agree. I had a number of students who suggested teaching as a "backup" or a "temporary" career between college and something els…

When the engine on top of a helicopter spins the blades, they exert an equal torque force back on the body of the helicopter. In order to just spin the blades and keep the body str…
