Doing the things you care about instead of the things you are induced to care about, that is something I agree with. However, what is there to live for, if I am strictly unaffected by the world around me?
Input: I shat this morning.

Output: I started my day by prioritizing a critical release and streamlining my internal processes for peak performance. It’s all about consistency and maintaining a healthy flow to ensure I’m operating at my full potential. #Efficiency #MorningRoutine #Optimization

That feature speaks volumes about what's wrong with Linkedin. Nice touch.

Clicking the link with a prejudice in my mind, I found the definitions cleverly clean and easy to understand. I would be pleased to see a German version of it, just to have a good laugh.
Ok, it can create a long-lived complex codebase for a product that is extensible and scalable over the long term, but it doesn't have cool tattoos and can't fancy a matcha

Mubi can be a slightly cheaper alternative. They now provide one movie-theater ticket per week in some countries, which is a good deal if you enjoy watching films on a slightly bigger screen with slightly louder speakers.

Why do you think the shelf life is short?
Re:Generative AI's Energy Needs Are Reshaping Our World on Sunday October 05, 2025 @11:16PM (#45487329)
Without knowing the cumulative amount of energy consumption it is not a fair comparison. If there are one billion llm sessions every day, it is still a lot of energy.

What you suggest is saving the information somewhere else and putting a number to represent it. That is not compression, that is mapping. By using this logic, one can argue that one bit is enough as well.

It requires at leadt few bytes, there is no way to represent 10GB of data in 8 bits.
Switching to an alternative on Android, like GrapheneOS or CalyxOS, can help you regain some of the privacy you've lost. If you are an Apple user, good luck.
Re:Money lessons without money: The financial literacy fallacy on Saturday February 22, 2025 @04:25AM (#43137516)
It is beneficial for your kids to have the opportunity to make mistakes with the small amount of money they receive. These lessons learned will save them from future troubles. 50 bucks may not be much, but it’s enough to keep it real.

Are there any privacy-friendly wearables in the fitness tech scene? It seems like most wearable gadgets send data to remote servers, whenever possible.

Workday is a hostile environment for applicants. Perhaps that is intended.

Strangely, the most comfortable I've felt with symbols was when learning quantum computing. At the time, there was no established standard (perhaps it has a standard now), but the symbols were used more intuitively than any other math class I've taken.
