I was expecting more like, "translate it into many languages your website users won't keep updating and give them access to edit your site's design freely as they see fit..."

This article feels machine generated

Very nice article as I’ve felt the same.

Throughout my 20’s I’ve accumulated a huge amount of mental models, diary entries, ambitions, goals, knowledge, thoughts, interests and everything in-between.

It helped me a lot and truly let me excel in some things – surprisingly enough.

Since I turned 30 last year I’ve almost sort of been afraid to look into that repository whatsoever. It’s a mix of amusement and anxiety. What felt like unlimited potential and a nearing of the “apex”, my motivation is still there somewhere in my head, but I’ve suppressed it and opened my eyes to almost half of my life being lived.

Sometimes I’m even afraid to stop and think deeply like I tended to do before. I distract myself.

Was that a some sort of a religion carrying me week by week month to month?

I take it step-by-step, day by day now and try to worry less while bringing back the focus of what I’d want to achieve. I calm myself down and work on things more gradually, cutting myself some slack.

Nonetheless, I wouldn’t just delete it all.

Instead I’m just using it less and less, only adding some truly profound things and thoughts when I come across them. My reading list keeps filling up… I fulfill some of my ambitions, but also leave many of them undone by the time I thought I should’ve been done with them trying not to not feel bad about it.

This techno-masochistic models-oriented mega-productive way of living is already perhaps disillusioning a lot of people out there, and we are entering the next stage.

Feels like end of an era, at least for me personally.

To me this looks like a false dichotomy. Writing beautifully and having a good argument are not mutually exclusive. So I think the article sets out a false proposition and discusses it at length.

Even here people don’t seem to realize, or even consider the likely fact that Klarna CEO has been bullsh**ing all along. I read a hugely viral post of them replacing their entire CRM with AI. It’s ridiculous to me people took that seriously!

Amazing how we keep searching for meaning and purpose, a direction in our lives. I guess this is something eternal and universal.

This is very similar to Crystal Ball and @Risk software but for Google Sheets instead of Excel. My next goal would be to add correlation functionality and increase overall simulation performance.

Love this! Would be interesting to know why they chose Django. Will support by giving my upvote!

Hahahaha, do they even know what they are doing to their US hegemony?! This kind of short-term thinking leads to the US enemies laughing all their way into the bank. They don‘t even understand what they‘re losing here. If they don’t try to path-correct very soon this is the beginning of a gradual decline. Is the current U.S. leadership really that afraid? There is no reason to act like this otherwise. Or this is some very very incredibly smart way of ”peace through strength”. Go figure and good luck all.

I‘ve been playing OpenRA for over a year now. After all the hardcore triple-A games this is the one I‘ve settled on. Maybe because I played it as a kid when it came out. It‘s pretty balanced and the community is awesome. Despite it being very unforgiving at start, as you get up to speed it becomes amazingly deep and competitive. So much fun!

”EU must take action!” Jeez, what a disaster… I feel bad for the poor guy.

I guess it is more along the lines of trusting that he is in on the right path in terms of seeing things we don’t see. It’s a feeling. It’s hard to describe it as a solid argument by ”qualifying”, but I bet that most of us ”feel” something’s wrong. There are agendas, there are destructive powers at play. He might be one of them himself, so nobody should trust him blindly – if at all. But something large is at play. I don’t know… I guess it’s time to sleep.

Docker Swarm mode? I know it’s not as well maintained, but I think it’s exactly what you talk about here (forget K3s, etc). I believe smaller companies run it still and it’s perfect for personal projects. I myself run mostly docker compose + shell scripts though because I don’t really need zero-downtime deployments or redundancy/fault tolerance.

I just switched to iPhone 15 Pro from my old iPhone X, and I thought my old phone was big and heavy. This new one sitting on my desk looks absolutely ginormous, and I paid quite a bit of money for the device. Before iPhone X many years ago I rocked an even older iPhone 6 for multiple years.

Maybe a lot of people haven't noticed this creeping in, but with my upgrade cycle, I can tell you the footprint of these things is getting wild. Maybe I only feel this way because I set up my 15 Pro yesterday, but I don't know man...

It definitely rings a bell to me that Apple senses this sentiment when evaluating their lineup, and I understand why they'd go and make a slimmer model. No wonder then Samsung will join the competition right away.

At some point our phones were slim nice and pocketable, but somewhere in-between, they've gotten just huge boxy and crazy. I love the performance and hardware, but on a device like this I tend to wear a case which worsens the problem. This is not even a Plus or Max model, and it's just massive.

Looking back at my last device it feels to me like my X was a thin elegant slab of beauty, and I'm not even talking about my older 6 which was just super light and slim.

I bet if there are more people like me, the rumored "Slim" and "Air" models will be a hit.

For how much?

I just wrote my name and asked questions about who it is, what he does, what he writes about etc. I have a personal blog, and I wrote a master's thesis recently. I also have a pretty detailed partially public LinkedIn profile and GitHub so if it can dig around it will find out more than enough for me to assess its ability to provide information. I also have a relatively rare name, there's only five or so of us with my full name globally so it cannot get too confused.

I was thinking about this myself, so I went to another search engine (Bing) which I never use otherwise, and jumped right into their "Copilot" search via the top navbar.

Man, it was pretty incredible!

I asked a lot of questions about myself (whom I know best, of course) and first of all, it answered super quickly to all my queries letting me drill in further. After reading through its brief, on-point answers and the sources it provided, I'm just shocked at how well it worked while giving me the feeling that yes, it can potentially – fundamentally change things. There are problems to solve here, but to me it seems that if this is where we're at today, yes in the future it has the potential to change things to some extent for sure!

I agree with others that this can be seen as market abuse since it disrupts the essential functioning of our labor markets. After completing my Master's, I've since struggled to find a job, only signing a contract yesterday thanks to my past connections and proven work from before I returned to academia. The current job market in my country has been absolutely brutal. I've applied to hundreds of roles. For many interviews, I traveled to other cities only to learn later that the positions I was being interviewed for were canceled entirely, with no one hired.

But the real issue are these "ghost" job postings where there's no intention to hire anyone at all in the first place. Some companies use them to, I guess, just gather some data and CVs + salary expectations, while others want to appear active and growing to investors, but don’t engage whatsoever when people spend time and apply. This distorts the job market and creates a lot of frustration in applicants. 90% of people I know here and more broadly in Europe have gotten their jobs via connections and people they know. I wouldn’t be surprised if some regulation comes soon, as I doubt I'm the only one impacted by this situation.

I love how they don't seem to be calling it "AgenticAI" or something like that.

It’s interesting that I perceive my hearing is still pretty stellar albeit during a surprise attack in my military service, a guy started firing his assault rifle right next to my unprotected ear…

After watching this the project of changing brakes on my old car doesn't feel like that big of a project anymore.

Right exactly, so GitOps doesn't necessarily mean that after merging the pull request, the rest HAS to happen automatically? Judging by what you say there's indeed some ambiguity here in that sense. I guess after I hear "GitOps" being mentioned, I'll have to ask for details and dig in more to understand what people actually mean by that, haha. At least there will probably be Git there somewhere and the infrastructure is version controlled then I guess...

I'm currently downloading a Google takeout backup of my Keep and all Google Drive files. Will try uploading these gigabytes worth of data from the past years all in here. There is an audio function which automatically lets two voices discuss all the data you give it in a podcast fashion. You can try it with the sample notebook they give you at the start. I'm really pumped to see how far this can get me.

Is it normal for abstracts to not include any more detailed results or outcomes, or did they only realize that it needs to run a Linux-layer for the containers and that’s it? Isn’t this a well-known technical aspect of Docker?

I think people are missing the fact that this could be just a power play situation and intel gathering at intelligence services level. We don’t know everything, and the stakes may be high right now, so maybe the French and more broadly the west, are trying to gather info and see what is really going on while trying to get an advantage. So a larger geopolitical power play here and way less about morals, laws, ethics, precedents, comparable other cases etc, etc…

I think this book was 2/5 stars for me max. Way overhyped and indeed, only mostly applicable to some FBI hostage situation negotiators. Even a rather toxic book I'd say, but some small things here or there are admittedly quite useful.

So will this serve as a stand-in replacement for something like Airflow?

What would be the best way for me to create a truly random approach to sampling from a specified distribution in my Monte Carlo simulator app? In my current MVP Beta app I’m just using Math.random() as I cannot access or install any external libraries. How would you go about implementing something more robust in something like, say, Apps Script (a Google proprietary derivative of JavaScript for cloud apps)?

Isn’t this literally what all sorts of analysts do as their core jobs? Are they getting automated away?

Here's also the report the NYTimes article is referring to: https://www.burningglassinstitute.org/research/underemployme...
