- Comment on Socially inept, introverted employees. How do you survive the workplace? Because I’m in dire need of some serious advice. 15 hours ago:
Honestly you’re fairly rude and defensive towards the comments here. People are genuinely taking time from their lives to help you, but you have an answer to everything. Very occasionally this statement is true:
If every person you see is an asshole, maybe it’s you who is the asshole.
This is a moment in your life when you can learn and grow. You still have a job. Take the opportunity and do better in the new role. A therapist would likely be very helpful here.
- Comment on GitHub CEO delivers stark message to developers: Embrace AI or get out. 1 day ago:
There’s plenty of room for improvement in the theory and application of any type of LLM. I think we’re closer to a plateau than people want to admit. The power and water needs scale wildly upward for slight performance increases. We need to go about this wildly differently for it to be sustainable.
- Comment on GitHub CEO delivers stark message to developers: Embrace AI or get out. 1 day ago:
Is it, though? AI has been around to stay for 20 years. The difference really is that a bunch of tech bros are worshiping it while trade rags talk it up.
- Comment on At this point who in the world could stop Trump over doing something totally illegal? Like lets say using bunker buster bombs to destroy DEM cities? Or is USA communially FUCKED? 1 week ago:
Who hurt you?

The difference is now there are countries who have their shit together and will happily let the US become irrelevant.
- Comment on "Pilot had to dive aggressively to avoid midair collision over Burbank airport." 1 week ago:
You should always jagger the belt on unless you are standing up for some reason. This story is exactly why.
- Comment on YSK De-banking is often how the US first declares you "homeless" 1 week ago:
Not really. People are just less ashamed than they used to be.
- Comment on Does anyone else find it suspicious that there wasn't any criticism on here about Stop Killing Games until after it hit 1.4M signatures? 2 weeks ago:
Are people criticizing it? There is a certain critical mass that when something becomes popular enough a subset of the population will automatically oppose it.
- Comment on Financially rewarding and you will always have a job 3 weeks ago:
It’s almost as if the real problem is opportunity. Hmm.
- Comment on Why Americans Can’t Buy the World’s Best Electric Car 3 weeks ago:
The US subsidizes farms and petroleum.
- Comment on You can only bring back one. Which do you choose? 4 weeks ago:
Radio shack for sure. Has anything electronic or computer related you need.
- Comment on Even conservatives use to boast the virtue of achieving a higher education. In MAGA times what is the pathway to success? 4 weeks ago:
The MAGA types used to talk about an education when it was a way to insult people who make the minimum wage and make it their fault that they were underpaid. They didn’t actually want peoples’ lives to be better, but rather to find a way to look down on entire classes of humans.
- Comment on Trump Team Has Full Meltdown Over CNN Story on ICE-Tracking App 5 weeks ago:
I have experienced some recent schadenfreude with farmers who no longer have workers to harvest because ICE scared them away.
- Comment on Trump Team Has Full Meltdown Over CNN Story on ICE-Tracking App 5 weeks ago:
You’ve made a potential error in underestimating just how horrible some peoples’ lives are and how filled with hatred they are over that fact. This is really what drives so much of politics in the world–disgruntled people with no future who choose to hate others who have nothing to do with it.

I love the quote about how it is putting federal agents in danger…and I sort of think that they are doing that themselves.
- Comment on Men are opening up about mental health to AI instead of humans 5 weeks ago:
The real problem becomes when bad or non scientific advice gets regurgitated to people over and over.
- Comment on Men are opening up about mental health to AI instead of humans 5 weeks ago:
Therapy is just littered with bad therapists, that do more harm than good and give the practice a bad name.
This has long been my experience. Although I believe that great therapists are out there, I have yet to encounter someone who didn’t blame me for the problems and cause me to feel rejected. The last person I went to looked over the intake testing and told me that nobody would want me as a client. No joke. I convinced him to let me stay but nothing happened and I burned out after 3 months or so and stopped going.
- Comment on Men are opening up about mental health to AI instead of humans 5 weeks ago:
Part of me is ok with this in that any avenue to get mental health resources can be better than nothing. What worries me is that people will use ChatGPT for this sort of thing and these models will not be good help.
- Comment on Why was file search much faster in Windows XP than in subsequent versions? 5 weeks ago:
Back in the day, you scanned the disk. Folder by folder, file by file. If what you were looking for appeared early in your search, you were golden. It turns out, though, that scanning a filesystem is computationally very complex and takes a long time. Not something you might notice so much on a PC, but something that you would notice on a server. So, instead, you want to index the disk, slowly and over time, and then you search against the index. This works well in a server, but no so much on a workstation. Well there’s really no difference between Windows 11 and Windows Server 2024 except for some fine tuning of resource allocation. Essentially, you get the very (for desktops) ineffective server version.

Sorry I work in tech and may take things for granted.

Those are some reasonable parts, congratulations.
- Comment on Sometimes when I think about US politics, I worry. But then I remember this is a country that had gone through a civil war, numerous scandals, a great depression and dust bowl, two world wars, 1 month ago:
Helpful to know that the country was markedly different before and after each of these events. Think of things before and after WWII, for instance. We will experience similar over the next 20 - 40 years.

Of course it was. I had it.
- Comment on Yes, this is what people did back then 1 month ago:
I have thought about this over the years. If I am in a loop, it’s “which PhD am I doing this lifetime?” or “so I guess I am going to be the world’s best cabinetmaker this round.”

I think for me it was before I moved counties and my disc was full so I put all my torrents on a couple DVDs. Early 2009.

How are those cost savings going, Elon? Some redundancy would look pretty good right about now.
