Ugh well hopefully there will come a point when there’s not actually enough people to layoff anymore. Then maybe the game of follow the leader will stop. Or maybe another one starts up where they start over hiring again, who knows

At first I was confused about the books comment, since most books are just black text on white paper, but then I realized you were probably including comic books and manga in that too (and probably textbooks that include a lot of graphics)

I feel ya man, I don’t work at Amazon but at a fintech startup, and I’ve survived through so many rounds of layoffs, demotions, and “restructurings” that I’m kinda numb to it all and just waiting for my turn too haha

Don’t worry, once the hype fades, we can start calling LLMs “machine learning” again

Why would this even impact you if you’re using their index funds? Twitter isn’t even public so it can’t be in any index

A frog that is slowly boiled will jump out. However, if it’s dropped in boiling water, it’ll die because it doesn’t have time to jump out before the proteins in its body get destroyed. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_frog

Relevant because I don’t think slow change is as irreversible as fast change, and might actually be more manageable

I can tell you that I’ve been using Kagi for a few months and it hasn’t been life changing or anything. But I would say that it has been useful enough to keep around. I honestly like the info dense layout over the other search sites, and I use the ability to push down or block sites entirely so I don’t see the spam sites I don’t want to see. Also, “quick answers” is actually pretty useful sometimes when I don’t want to click on any of the search results. Plus, with the $10 sub, you get unlimited uses of the summarizer, which has been great for arxiv papers.

I wouldn’t say it’s for everyone and I don’t know if there’s astroturfing going on, but it’s been useful enough for me to keep paying the $10 a month

Maybe they should have spent some of the money they used on this questionable design update on improving their app or working with third party app developers.

Now that I see the product, I know what you mean, but man your description sounded so wrong before I had a visual to go off of

Maybe one day I’ll see something that says the opposite happened, which will truly be news to me

2 pages is fine, most resumes I see is two pages, especially if you have 10+ years of relevant experience to cover

If it’s only food, it’s definitely possible. Rice and beans is probably less than 50 cents a day. Then you can get some cheap chicken thighs for like 1.50 a pound. Then get some carrots, broccoli, and onions. It should cover the majority of your nutrient needs for $4 dollars a day.

Are either centipedes or spiders insects? I thought insects only had 6 legs

I really want to buy from Gog but

1. Their games often don’t work as well in multiplayer, at least not with steam users where the majority of my friends have their games. Along with this, it’s a pain getting steam workshop mods working
2. Their bundles kinda suck without sites like Fanatical or Humble offering gog codes

That said, I do buy from them when it’s an older game like heroes of might and magic (goes back to the site’s roots as Good Old Games I guess). Or when it’s a single player experience without a lot of mod support, like Jrpgs

I think that’s fine. Since when did streamers become paragons of virtue anyways? Back when I started watching someone like HotshotGG, they were always thought of as degens living in their mom’s basement

What happens to bodies that can’t pay burial or cremation costs? Do they just get thrown into a compost bin?

Huh TIL that the average age of the Senate and the House has steadily increased over time: https://www.nbcnews.com/data-graphics/118th-congress-age-third-oldest-1789-rcna64117

This should be an ongoing 150k a month until the satellite is decommissioned in order for it to be anywhere near meaningful

No way any of my friends would pay 10 bucks a month for kagi, so yeah most people just don’t care enough or search enough to want to look into alternatives

Not only can I not download a car, but now I can’t even download inside my car?
