A coworker was asked in a meeting how he was holding up after pulling an epic two day sprint to deliver a project that saved our butts. He replied “I felt like jumping out of a window.”

Someone reported him for not warning the room about suicidal ideation before saying it and not considering that it might be triggering. He was actually reprimanded.

Unfortunately typical of the place. I left soon after.

I miss the days when these low effort comments were frowned upon here.

Beyond the aggressive reply, I mean you are partially right? In addition to the battle for attention the financial model of windowing was destroyed or collapsed into streaming, changing the types/quality/choices of movies that get made, the nuances of what happens in movies and tv shows (fewer character actors) and many other dynamics including change in financial risk and borrowing costs, which in aggregate had an impact that many could argue was on par with the attention battle. Current trends may be able to shift downward the risk/cost trend as well as unlock new formats which may result in the rise of new producers/inputs.

I think it is a “yes, and…”

Though what do I know.

Yes, the fact that is the plague is less worrying than it is plague from a bio research lab that escaped. The only unfounded, non verified news i have read is that it can from collecting of samples, not post experimenting. But your guess is as good as mine at this point

What shows that they are more intelligent? They might be better at extracting value from enterprise, but is that generally “more intelligent?”

I have found that it’s useful generally speaking to get the intent of contracts and red lines, but actual drafting I agree is where I lose all confidence. My guess is that the significance of the difference between using a word like “and“ or “or“ can be so meaningful that that level of nuance can often be lost. But I know nothing I’m not in the space, I just pay too much money for lawyers.

We hire “AI engineers,” and honestly the expectation most of the time is that they can demonstrate an actual interest and real work in or with AI. Mind you, we are not a frontier lab, but AI gaming company, and someone with senior dev knowledge is hugely valuable to the team if they actually have rolled up their sleeves and built with AI and push to improve our operations with AI. There isn’t an academic signal that would tell us you are really AI forward, and so much of the engineering job is super charged by having a real dev background for us.

I can’t say if this will change of course, and I only speak for a small gaming startup.

Listening to the heads of the American and European car companies say the same and driving in them in china. I know that is different than personally disassembling one and reviewing it, but I am not sure the incentive for the other companies to say they have inferior products, unless it was a play for subsidies or deregulation of some form.

Personally I feel that the rest of the world continues to dramatically under estimate China’s progress and technological advancement at our own peril. Is there fluff and are their lots of untrue claims, of course, but that is certainly not something they have a monopoly on.

I wonder if this letter has anything to do with why anything even remotely related to biology is getting flagged.

If you are so outright against using AI, why would he care if you read his article about AI?

Even HN is astroturfed to heck and filled with bots. The ratio of good faith informed dialog to Reddit like slop in these threads is wild. The old HN would never have such “obvious” black and white answers.

My guess is you are right for some properties that WB owns outright, but legacy IP that has rights shared, especially pre-streaming rights will still have a lot of barriers/untangling to do.

I think Netflix is the most well run media company today by a mile, but also on the spectrum of quality/art -vs- straight money/tech domination they fall into the latter category, and they are the among the least friendly to creators as far as contract/rights.

We will see.

Why the down votes? Should I not believe my own eyes?

If not us tax dollars, how are they funded? Are the backed with full faith of credit of the us government? It’s hard to search for answers on this one.

Would you happen to have a stack ranked list of favorites off the top of your head?

Can you explain your comment a bit more please?

In person you could also see their supplies of sodium and potassium in sealed glass containers. I always wanted to get my hands on those.

Like you said, so many motors and switches; likely a big part of the reason I do what I do for a living today.

First comment. No submissions. This is the first and only reply that you had enough motivation to make?

We are working directly with the Notebook team from the outside, and while they have lost the original product lead, the team in general is seemingly really well supported, staffed with talented folks, and actively trying to understand what the end user wants from the product. Hardly a day goes by that they are not actively trying to get more feedback and share where they are heading.

I do think it is fair to say they had been caught off guard by the success of the program and are trying to catch up. Maybe this is just a bit of drift as they are figuring it all out? Or maybe I am too charitable.

There were hundreds of failed automotive companies and parts suppliers though. I think the argument is that many will die, some will survive and take all (most)

I kept my dishwashing job on my resume for far too long under the title “hydro ceramics engineer.”

It was grueling work, but I met a lot of interesting people, one in particular turned me on to studying Chinese which changed the whole path of my life. Also gave me entre into bussing then waitstaff. Paid my way through high school car insurance and college surviving. Definitely under appreciated and under paid, but I learned a ton about working for a living.

From my experience crossing eras; the tools have improved, and there are still some amazingly brilliant people, but the amount of overhead and the ratio of top level, passionate builders has dropped meaningfully. I have had a priority project stuck in legal hell for six months because it’s just a morass of logistics. The project is benign but it doesn’t matter. We are ossified.

I look at it as somewhat inevitable considering the path the company has taken, but it is certainly different. We are cranking out money and that’s fine, but it is a change.

Small nit - coffee beans are often times better after 10-14 days of roasting and have had some time for degassing when making espresso. Earlier than that and you will get a lot more creme than you really want if you are going for a balanced shot. But in the end it’s all taste so I can also be wrong for your personal situation.

One of my friends I grew up with was “that kid;” smartest in the community, funny, played a mean guitar. Everyone loved him. Top of class. Harvard. Harvard med. Top placement for residency. Something happened during that time and he killed himself. It was absolutely unexpected from all of his friends. Shocking to say the least. Apparently it turned out to be stress from work, his hours, his fear of failing. Who will ever know, but it has been many years and it still stings.

I used to be into Olympic weightlifting and worked out at a gym of people that also took it very seriously. They were for the most part the farthest thing from “meat heads” as one could imagine. Except the one guy…

He found a container of powdered caffeine someone had brought and decided that he didn’t have to follow the instructions like normal humans. Not only that, he mixed up the measurements. In the end he took what very well could have been a fatal dose. Even with a visit to the hospital his heart rate was above 200 resting for over a day. They had to work to flush his system and whatever but he said it took weeks to sleep normally again.

When my wife was diagnosed with thyroid cancer our doctor said the same thing was being discussed about reclassifying her diagnosis as well. His assertion was that a lot of thyroid cancers aren’t even discovered until post mortem from another cause of death. Also that the standard treatments are so effective, and in some ways unique to thyroid cancer (radioactive iodine treatment specifically) that the cure rate was very high.

This was a decade ago and while I remember reading up on it at the time, I don’t have any primary research to back this up so take it with a grain of salt.

Can you clarify what you mean please? And what evidence you have to support the social dynamics whichever way you are saying they are being swayed?

This is a genuine question because I may be the one with the religious beliefs, but I am not beyond them being questioned.

First visit? Welcome!

I used drizly often for presents, especially for out of town people. Never once for myself actually.

The censorship levels are off the charts; I am at a basketball game with my wife who is ethnically Chinese. I asked for an image of a Chinese woman dunking a basketball. I was told not only is this inappropriate, but also unrealistic and objectifying.
