It would be better for the stated goal of understanding the culture & challenges of living as an actual barista at Starbucks, rather than just a publicity stunt.
PEDs do not make you a world class athlete, but you likely cannot be a world class athlete without some sort of PEDs. Much like PED use, top performers will take advantage of the new tools to widen the skill gap with their peers even further.
Completely agree. I've been frequently using ChatGPT to learn new things in my free time. I realize that there's a huge amount of downplay regarding the accuracy of responses, but unless you're asking specifically for verified references or quotes, it does remarkably well in smoothly guiding you towards new keywords/concepts/ideas. Treat it like a map, rather than a full-self-driving tesla, and it's tremendously useful for learning.
I try to do this for myself, & often request that nobody take photos of me if possible, but definitely to not to post images of me online without my explicit permission. Even amongst my close friends & family, it frequently causes friction & outright anger.
In what way does it not work, when perhaps my position only requires that I attend virtual meetings, push code to a remote repository/depot, & edit online documents? What does my presence in the office, offer in value to the business? What does my presence in the office, offer in value to ME?
Agree, the commute is 90% of the reason I'd like to stay remote. I think I'd prefer an office in some cases, but wasting an additional 1-2 hours is unreasonable.
Here's an idea, I'd be willing to return to office if my workday was 6 hours - with no change in pay - to make up for the time I'm wasting in traffic.
Not necessarily, no. I still need to refer to the docs, but now I get some additional context. As a simple example, if there’s some library that needs initialization I can ask “how do I initialize a new <library thing>?”. Then it’ll spit out a maybe correct example of initialization, but most importantly it’ll have some new keywords/functions/buzzwords that provide extra context for my manual search through documentation & source code.
If I were a student, yeah it could probably do my homework. As a professional, I find that it greatly helps me navigate through related ideas.
Completely agree. It gives me the headstart I need that would otherwise take hours of careful searching + crawling through docs, source code, examples, issue trackers, etc.
Yeah I like them both a lot, having tried deploying small projects on each. However, I’ve defaulted to render at the moment because I’ve found it painless for my current project, and edge compute is low on my list of priorities.
Though to be fair, even if render collapsed overnight, I think I’d still be equally satisfied after moving to fly.
The testimonials on the homepage are aggressively positive, what has your existence been like? I’m interested in revisiting the various University topics, particularly DiffEQ/stats/LinAlg, and have been looking for an excuse/resource to study.
Thanks for sharing this, I’ll have to try making my own brag docs. I’ve recently started a new position & I can feel the imposter syndrome creeping back in.
Completely agree with this opinion. Teens expected to attend college are under tremendous admissions pressure. You don’t even realize how much more difficult it gets every year for them. For some students, nearly every waking moment is spent on something to fill an application/study/practice. While this itself isn’t new, I’d wager that the number of students having this experience has grown tremendously.
However, as someone who was in high school right when Facebook/Instagram became ubiquitous amongst teens, I can’t emphasize enough how horrible the pressure of appealing to your peers was. There is a constant, deeply unsettling fear of being publicly shamed/embarrassed online at any time & for any reason. I am confident that this is still present & stronger than ever.
I really like ChatGPT & I similarly enjoy GitHub Copilot. The combination of these two technologies has eliminated a large chunk of the time I previously spent referencing documentation, repo issues, man pages, & stack overflow.
If you treat ChatGPT as the expert, you’re going to be disappointed. But when YOU are the expert & can verify what ChatGPT outputs, then it makes a fantastic automated reference.
It's not a replacement for git. I used the github cli recently to search for all repos in a specific language, above a certain star count, no archives, & no forks; then piped it into other commands to clone, rename, and archive the repos. It's a very convenient way to interact with github features without visiting the site in a browser.
Rollback hasn’t been in fighting games for very long at all. It’s a relatively recent addition to the genre, and has resulted in dramatically improved online play. It’s still new enough that it’s even touted as a feature & selling point in marketing. Within the fighting game community, online play/tournaments have typically been regarded as a joke & not representative of skill at all because delay-based networking woes. However nowadays, with rollback, online tournaments are held regularly, more accessible than ever, and regarded more highly than before. Rollback is greatly helping the genre stay alive.
I can agree with this, though I’m presumably (based on the language) earlier into my career. The deeply technical parts & the counter culture found in reversing forums & places like DEFCON are still thriving & always awesome.
However, it’s also full of bullshit & marketing that want to convince you that every little technical detail is a vector for a potential cyberattack! You don’t want to be the next business suffering from ransomware gangs, do you? Better purchase our advanced endpoint detection powered by AI/“Neural Networks”, and don’t forget your automated security scanning designed with ChatGPT and quantum encrypted database backups to stop the Chinese/Russian state actors/hackers in their tracks!
Copilot/Gpt has removed many of the situations where I need to consult documentation or stackoverflow for something quick. In some cases it’s much better than official docs for clarifying how to use a particular function/class/parameter/etc. I haven’t used it at work, mostly because I don’t think my employer wants copilot phoning home while I’m working on NDA’d projects. For my personal projects & experiments I use it all the time. I find it to be an extraordinary productivity boost & really helps me stay in the editor without interrupting flow. If nothing else, that’s worth $10/month.
Hey, I’ve seen this one! “Public company ruins their reputation by intentionally making their products worse in an attempt to extort longtime customers.”
I've been toying with the idea of designing my own keyboard too. I'm in love with the keeb.io iris & ergodox EZ. They're both pretty awesome, but now I'm thinking I would love to be able to take my split/iris everywhere by using choc low-profile switches & a case that would let me snap the two sides together, face-to-face, such that I could slip it in my backpack along with my laptop (and maybe some extra keys here & there).
So the public schools will turn a profit from the increasingly depressed teens... and then what? Business as usual with some bonus cash for counseling services? What's the real goal here? Precedent?
I don't see the (non-monetary) benefit unless there are new laws introduced that severely restrict how social media is allowed to operate or outright ban various addictive techniques employed by their platforms (which will need to be constantly amended because they'll come with addictive ideas faster than they can possibly be proven addictive).
> And there's zero reason to believe that they're substantially unhealthy unless consumed to the point of sustained caloric surplus.
I have a hard time believing this without some very strong evidence for this claim. There's already existing evidence for greatly varying health effects of differences in cooking method, oil-type, omega ratios in fats, amino-acid ratios in proteins, glycemic index of carbs, sodium content, etc etc. It's hard for me to reconcile the suggestion that the content of food does not affect whether it is "substantially unhealthy"...
The stereotypical American helicopter-parent/soccer-mom can be viewed as a direct result of poor zoning practices & the resulting suburban sprawl. A typical child is completely incapable of going anywhere without the guidance of a car-driving parent. It is unlikely, either on foot or bike, that they are able to get to school, get to/from sports practice, meet with friends, shop at local stores, run errands, have a part-time job, etc etc. No wonder they're too sheltered & unable to navigate independence: they've never even had the option of independence.
