I'd also be interested to know what the speed of cognitive decline is OUTSDE the times that you are <birdwatching/hiking/whatever is claimed to cognitive decline>. Like, if you have a cognitive decline of 25% in 10…
I like to think of nuances as nuisances. Sometimes I wonder if we can just merge these two words because they're pretty much the same thing most of the time.
Also, nobody has any time for entertainment. Office workers all working 80 hours a week fearing stack ranking, PIPs, layoffs, needing to scramble to get a new H1B job or risk getting kicked out of the country and having…
Until some website of some service you're using embeds an Indian-sourced JavaScript required for its support chat and you're unable to get a refund on a defective product you purchased. Or worse, you were billed…
The useful thing I actually want to do with this: Zero-latency ssh. 1. Train a smaller (<10M-50M) model. Lower accuracy is fine; I want latency <10ms. 2. Then create a "reactive" version of `ssh` that gives you the…
I'm also wondering who the hell would use a registrar called "eMudhra" with Arial font in the subtext in their logo. It's so incredibly 90s. I'm actually being serious, I do judge companies by their logo and website…
It seems everyone has gone to Substack and Medium now because those are the only things people actually read. :(
The real problem is generating leads that are more likely to yield positive results than throwing darts at hypotheses.
Okay so one of the reasons I post on Meta platforms less nowadays is that they often don't show my content to my own followers and friends. I'm tired of talking to walls. I'm tired of having communication between…

Yeah all the 3rd party printer cartridges do this. Their reviews are for other random products. Drives me nuts. They sell paperclips for a while, accumulate hundreds of 5-star reviews because it's hard to screw up…
> you've had too many people use it to mean "people whose future is on the line based on the outcome of the product." This is pretty much the only way I've ever heard it used in the companies I've been at.
To clarify, I don't want people holding any stakes other than the equity of the company itself. I don't want people holding stakes because they want a promotion, because their direct manager wants to launch a corporate…
The real culprit is a combination of too many levels of hierarchy and performance reviews IMO. Especially when multiple levels along a management chain disagree on what a report must work on. This is the kind of shit I…
Yeah I fucking hate them. I have to mention words like "stakeholder" at behavioral interviews and to leadership just to sound like I belong at my seniority level. But I don't want anyone holding any stakes. I wish…
About 80% of my software engineering job is fighting disagreements between "stakeholders".
Meanwhile these degenerate folk play these things irresponsibly, become public charges, and I have to pay the brunt of it as a taxpayer who isn't going to get any of my money back in the form of things that benefit me.…

Sneaky pricing. Offers you plans when you sign up, if you decline them, it offers you a discount. Just offer the discounted price up front. If your business cannot survive without sneaky pricing, it's not a good…
Just get a second phone number for all these websites
