Firing someone for being opposed to same-sex marriage is political in the same way firing someone for robbing a bank is.

I got shingles-ish rash after sitting in an outdoor jacuzzi in Salinas, California. Visited the urgent care and the Standard-trained doctor of immigrant farm laborers said it was related to the pesticides. Said he lost both parents in their 40s and suspects it was the indiscriminate spraying from the air in the 70/80/90s. Eye-opening and thought-provoking.
The weird thing about this sort of stuff is I believe genetics play a role. My father in law has worked in ag his whole life. Specifically spraying fertilizer and pesticides. He is obese and has a terrible diet. One would think he is riddle with cancer and died at 50. He retired at 67 and is overall somewhat healthy for someone who is 300 lbs. Life is weird.
Top comments in this thread have a serious “my hands are registered as deadly weapons” energy to them. Nonsensical LARPing.
Someone in a quarter zip with pants from 5.11 tactical talked to me at conference once. From then on I decided to burn all my poop, walk everywhere with a face mask, only communicate with smoke signals and only use cash.
Despite the flashy title that's the first "sober" analysis from a CEO I read about the technology. While not even really news, it's also worth mentioning that the energy requirements are impossible to fulfill
Also now using ChatGPT intensely since months for all kinds of tasks and having tried Claude etc. None of this is on par with a human. The code snippets are straight out of Stackoverflow...
I've had decent results hackin', wackin' and smashin'.
Take this "sober" analysis with a big pinch of salt.
IBM have totally missed the AI boat, and a large chunk of their revenue comes from selling expensive consultants to clients who do not have the expertise to do IT work themselves - this business model is at a high risk of being disrupted by those clients just using AI agents instead of paying $2-5000/day for a team of 20 barely-qualified new-grads in some far-off country.
IBM have an incentive to try and pour water on the AI fire to try and sustain their business.
Right. Just like Intel completely shitting the bed on GPUs then their CEO tweeted a prayer. Old tech companies are going to be left behind.

I suspect a lot of people do. Probably a massive number. They just silently derive utility out of it. Those who hate it are probably more vocal.
This.

As someone who was mildly familiar with Bourdain ("some sort of American TV cook", some badly-dubbed shows in our private TV channels which didn't really catch on, because 'cooking show') until he decided to end it ...
... it is fascinating to me that one person, especially in a very niche profession, has had that kind of cultural impact that his random writing is being discussed seven years after his death.
Kitchen Confidential is an excellent read. Any reader will come away having healthy respect and fear of the restaurant industry.

I highly recommend reading kitchen confidential. It is a great book.
Swapping one problem for another. Religion sounds like the worst place for someone who is mentally vulnerable. It's like pulling out your credit card in a shopping mall full of salesmen who are under tremendous pressure to make big sales asap
Right. No one makes money off of SSRIs.
