Comment on How to get into camping/hiking again? in ~hobbies

Or you might just find a large group of people who hike at all different speeds, but provide "buddy system" so you're not out there alone.
You might also be shocked if you ask your existing friends who wants to come. I did the same, and found out that a friendly book-worm was super keen on exploring but felt like he didn't know anyone like-minded.

Comment on "Suspended" as a Doctor - AI misinformation saying I've been suspended by the medical council in June 2025. Thanks Google! in ~tech

I feel terrible for this man, and I wish he could just sue google and retire. Companies need to be accountable. Too big to fail? Too big to be accountable? Too big to care.

Comment on Part of me wishes it wasn't true but: AI coding is legit in ~tech

Yes, it will give you a functional prototype. It will get the bare-minimum to work, without considering readibility, maintainability or upgradability. You won't understand it, and anyone you pay to understand it, will prefer to write it their own way.
It writes what looks like working code, and is great for brainstorming, but it won't replace an engineer.

That is to say, I'm not just going to trust that I need to boil an egg for 5 minutes to make it perfect, I'm going to ask an engineer who wrote a cookbook.
Kenji Lopez-Alt's
The Food Labchanged cooking for me. The eggs on the title page from this review give you a perfect indication of what you're in for.He also writes for the NYT, and was a longtime contributor to Serious Eats, who are another great reference for many recipies.

Choose Private Browsing
Select "Open links in private windows"
Any time an email/website/app opens your browser, you'll get a nice purple border indicating that you're incognito, and none of your cookies/browsing history/sessions will be available to trackers etc. Comes in handy more than I'd figured. Also makes me feel pretty gleeful when I get a "Please accept all our cookies" message. Sure, I'll accept your cookies right into this incognito session which will be nuked as soon as I close it.

It was all the more heart-breaking when leadership decisions fundamentally sank one end of the boat, leading to a collapse of our end. You want a project you believe in to succeed. And it's all the worse when it doesn't.
I've also worked on projects where I didn't care about the product. My work was done, it met the spec, and it's upto the sales team to sell it. I don't have to be passionate about the product or leadership, to do the best at my job. And if it fails to succeed, I can be emotionally divorced from it.

Are we being competitive? I was pointing out that Pornhub is filled with violent and extreme pornography, and getting told that "oh, it's not that bad".
Cool. Cool cool cool cool.
