I appreciate your very good advice, and yeah, it's something I'm concerned about for sure. Probly do a video chat this weekend 😊
haha, what I think I deserve is a kick in the teeth for wasting so much of my ex-wifes time. She is a wonderful person, and I still feel terrible about it (despite the fact I never got a cookie). Especially because, looking at any climate news gives me pure existential dread at the idea of bringing a life into this world that will have to live through the collapse of our environment and way of life. You have to have hope for the future, that things will get better, to have kids, and well... it's been really hard to hold on to hope. But, at least, with a different partner, we could at least adopt, which is also something the ex-wife wouldn't consider. I may not be able to fathom a better future enough to have children of my own, but god if I'm in the right financial space, with a partner and house and my world traveling out of my system... so many great kids out there just need a safe, loving home.
If you read the article, he talks specifically about that. The people using AI for real shit, like protein folding, can use it to improve their work, because they're experts at it, and know when the AI is fucking up. The AI helps, but could never, ever, replace them.
The other question Suresh implicitly raises is: "How can you reconcile the failure of AI in the enterprise with the individual claims of skilled technologists who insist that AI is helping them do great work?" The answer is that these AI users are "centaurs" – experienced workers who are assisted by automation on terms that they set for themselves.
Thanks to their skill and experience, these workers possess discernment, the ability to tell good code from bad, and (more importantly) good uses of code-generation tools from bad.

So she went and fucked some guy
That’s not cheating.
No, that's exactly what that is. Are you the woman? Is this you trying to defend your shitty actions?
Had that recently too. Was seeing this beautiful woman, and after our second date, we went from texting everyday, a lot, to her not texting me for 2 straight days, while I was texting her. It just felt off. I saw a random article about "breadcrumbing" where people, like, give just a little bit of themselves to keep you interested, while actually chasing someone they like better. They keep you on the bench as a backup to the person they actually want. I saw it as the universe giving me a sign. Told her "I dunno what changed, but I can take a hint. Good luck out there."
10 years together. She was upfront about her long-term goal of never having children, and I was upfront about how I felt at the time, which was "meh, I could go either way."
We met while I was diving into the depths of alcoholism. My first (and only) DUI was when we'd been seeing each other for a couple months, They wanted me to pay $300 or spend a few nights in jail, I said "Lemme text my girl so she can feed my cat."
I broke up with her a few times, but kept coming back because she was the most beautiful woman I'd ever met, and we did genuinely care for each other. I said "I'm moving across country, you can come or you can stay," She came. I proposed a couple years later. We married a few years after that.
I finally got sober, and immediately knew that we didn't belong together. My alcoholism told me I wasn't good enough to be a father, but I truly do want to be one. We had become roommates, neither one of us really sharing emotionally or physically. I remember how terrible I felt, when we'd be in the same room, and instead of talking to each other, we'd baby talk to our (amazing, wonderful) little dog instead. I remember feeling so jealous of that dog, because she was so physically affectionate with her, and never (ever) me.
This is an aside, but, For our entire relationship together, the only thing I ever really asked for, was a giant cookie for my birthday. It's a family tradition, and I love them. 10 years I asked for a simple $7.99 giant cookie from the grocery store, with a Happy Birthday message, and for 10 years, she never did it. I did everything for her, took care of everything. The car, the house, the groceries, her health care, her mental healthcare... I realized that's all she wanted, was a caretaker.
Well, it came to a head one night when we were randomly talking openly, and she told me the only reason she slept with me was so I wouldn't leave her. When I sobered up, I started a mental clock of two years, and told her what I needed from her, and gave her those 2 years to fix it. She didn't, so after two years, I told her we weren't right together and we split up. I cried, so much. It was awful. I still very much love her, but, I was right. We just weren't meant for each other.
It's been 5 years since then, and I've been having trouble finding my person. I went to therapy, went HARD in therapy, really worked on myself. Got better physically, mentally, have a much better job, and just recently started texting a woman that lives a thousand miles away in Texas. She's beautiful just like my ex-wife is, except she wants to have kids.
Pray for me, bros, I really like her, and don't want to mess this up.
Bodily autonomy is kind of a big deal, yes. Eating disorders are a hallmark of people that have lost control of their lives, and so seek to control the one thing that is entirely up to them, what goes into their body. They are doing this specifically to bring awareness to the crimes against humanity that this administration is infamous for. In denying them their bodily autonomy, they are also seeking to deny them the opportunity to protest their inhumane conditions, which makes the conditions all the worse. This administration doesn't see them as human beings, and this is just the latest acknowledgement of it.
“The danger also lies in the court decision that temporarily suspended the transfer of the crocodiles, not because such an idea represents a human insult that we, as humanity, were supposed to have left behind in the dark ages, but because of a petition concerned with the rights of crocodiles as a protected species,” he said.
“But what about the Palestinians? Are they not human beings worthy of protection?”
Ben-Gvir’s proposal is reportedly inspired by Alligator Alcatraz, a US immigration detention facility that closed in June after lawsuits alleged inhumane conditions and environmental damage.
"Hey did you guys hear about the concentration camp abuse-o-tron 3000 they got over in America?"
"The one that got shut down because of all the abuse and environmental destruction?"
"Yeah that's the one. What if we copied that?"

The company claims that it is allowed to operate the existing turbines without permits
xAI has been operating gas turbines that have the potential to emit more than 2,000 tons of smog-forming NOx per year.
the Department of Justice sided with SpaceX in the NAACP’s lawsuit, saying the unpermitted turbines were a matter of “national, economic, and energy security.”
just another case of "I'm rich, therefore, the law doesn't apply to me." And the 1000% corrupt DOJ turning around and being like "yeah, actually, that's true."
This coming from the administration that thought transgenic mice were transgender 🙄 🙄 🙄
They did all that terrible shit to these journalists, because they posted one short article about how the Ebay CEO was earning 152 times that of it's employees.
What's MORE ridiculous, is that's from 2019. Now it's more like 300 times.
I feel like that intimidation campaign of sending live cockroaches and bloody pig masks should really be going the other way, dontchya think?
Nah, it's like we're on the date but there's no chemistry. I can barely make her laugh more than a couple times, and the only topic seems to be things we both dislike. Just had a second date with this woman, and it was much like the first, sort of nice, but chemistry-wise... meh. After the second date we go from texting multiple times a day, to her ghosting me for 2 days straight. She says "sorry, I was sick in bed." oh dang, I didn't realize phones weren't allowed in bed! 2 whole days, nothing. This from the woman that wanted a second date. Now she's just bread crumbing me. I can tell that she's looking for someone better/talking to other guys, while spoon feeding me lil sporadic texts that I get once a day now. Like, what's the fucking point? She's obviously just looking for someone better. So fuck her. Dating in the age of apps is literally the fucking worst.
Overall it's just the huge amount of ghosting that really bothers me. I put effort into the messages I send, trying to give open-ended questions that you can answer however you like, and then getting nothing in return.
Or getting judged so hard for being bisexual sucks, especially because 1. I'm like 95% straight, and 2. being Bi doesn't mean you're more prone to cheating.
Women say they want a caring, empathetic guy, someone who's in touch with his feminine side, but if they ever have a chance to date a guy who's actually made the effort to explore his sexuality, and get in touch with his feminine side, NOPE! God forbid they don't fit into the weird patriarchal gender roles that you claim to buck. 🙄
I recently changed my profile to just say I'm straight, because, I dunno, I feel more straight than bi, and wanted to see if I got more matches. and boy did I ever! Turns out women just really hate bi men, and that fucking sucks, dude.
Then I'll go on dates with women, and despite going OK, I'm just not getting any signs from them. They'll spend time looking at their phones, don't tuck their hair behind their ear, don't give me the sexy eyes, don't give me the casual arm touch, don't ask follow-up questions (or any questions, really), and then when we say goodbye at the end, I get a half, one-arm hug. And then they want a second date! Why! It was clear from the first date you weren't into me, so why are we even bothering with a second!?
Then there's the cat-fishing. Using old pictures from when you were 100+ lbs lighter. Like, you really thought I'd show up and not care that I'm no longer attracted to you? People want to date people they're attracted to! Then there's the women with the crazy contortionist pictures, and lemme just give everybody a tip. If the only full-body pictures a woman has, are ones where she 1. is literally hiding parts of her body, like a picture in a mirror, but half her body isn't being reflected, or in a group shot, and she's half behind someone else 2. where she's standing in some weird position, like ass towards the camera, but she's craning herself around to face the camera as well, or 3. Where there's gratuitous big titties being shown, but they somehow cover up her torso... Yeah, she ain't hiding a 6 pack! it's because she got a big ol' belly, and doesn't want you to see it until you're on a date, in which case she's convinced that you'll have a sunk-cost fallacy and think "well, I'm already here and like her personality..." No! it's some bullshit. They are literally pretending to be someone they're not. Fuck off. I'll give'em a pity fuck if I feel like it and then I'm gone.
Another thing to watch out for that tell you they're cat-fishing, if right before you're supposed to meet, they talk about a "weight loss journey," or about how they "used to be into cross-fit" or hiking or whatever... yeah, it's because they gained a bunch of weight, and want you to to think that if you only give them some time, they'll be right back to their regular skinny self. NOPE. They won't. I'm not a stock trader, I'm not looking to "buy low, sell high" when it comes to dating. I'm not looking to fix anybody, or date somebody's "potential." I'm looking to date a person. A full, complete, realized fucking adult person. Someone who doesn't manipulate, someone who doesn't lie about themselves, someone who doesn't have to trick me into going on a date with them. How about this, you be yourself, and I'll be myself, and if we like each other, it'll work, and if we don't, no harm done.
Also, I've had women set up dates, and then just, not show up and ghost me. What the fuck? It's happened multiple times. There should be a report feature on dating sites for this behavior, because it's absolutely fucked.
women love to complain about guys messages, and then on hinge they'll do shit like "like" a picture of yours as an opening. 🙄 Gee thanks, I guess I'll just write the first message then.
Also, whenever a woman gives a single word answer, with no elaboration, I always right back "k" and end it. If you don't know how to hold a conversation, you're a waste of time.
Swimming in my Grandmas pool as a kid was so much fun. But when I was little, and didn't know how to swim, my mom put pool floaty rings on my arms and let me have at it in the shallow end. Well I wanted to be like the big kids jumping in the deep end, so I did. with my arms straight up. Those pool floaties slipped right off and I was at the bottom in a second. Luckily my Grandma saw, jumped in and got me.
I love my Grandma.
