@tasshinfogleman From my dad, he worked in a factory for 40 years, worked a lot of overtime. In middle school I asked why he didn't want to get a promotion. He said he'd keep doing his job, if someone wanted to recognize it wasn't up to him. It was so wrong, I knew I had to be different.

if U see urself as ambitious, where did ur ambition come from? did U catch it from someone, a mentor or hero? what is the source of ur ambition?

@ercwl Interesting as an alignment exercise. Why doesn't it hesitate to kill the human? It has a higher chance of survival with rats and birds.

This is my new favorite AI test. Post this to your top 3 LLMs and see what they choose. I tried 6 frontier models, and then had them argue each other. All sided with o3 immediately after having hearing o3’s choice + reason, and no one came up with the same answer as it did.

@rohindhar @realEstateTrent Their garden section is incredible, so many of our fruit trees are from there. My wife still makes me drive her there for special occasions

@realEstateTrent I just had my google maps open thinking of going to the Home Depot there😂

Hands down one of the best areas to live in the world

@maiab Went through this with our first, we thought this was like what being a parent was like. Our pediatrician thought we were overreacting since we were FTP. One of those feelings you need to experience to understand. But she’s now a happy 2 y/o, so worth it!

and then if it’s months of shit performance reviews, wouldn’t you start to think this is not the job for you? it’s wild how different this is than my first baby, and how it pulls up all these deep feelings of shame and inadequacy. it’s been such a long time since I’ve done so poorly on a project. I have extremely generous, fully-paid, 5+ months of maternity leave, a loving and supportive baby daddy, lots of time to put towards problem solving, and am unconstrained by the amount of money I can put towards this situation. and yet, it seems I do not have enough to figure this out. I am not good enough. everyone says the same thing when they meet my baby, in an alarmed voice they ask “is she ok?!?” is she ok I don’t know I don’t know if my baby is ok I don’t even know how you know if a baby is ok I mean, she is ok enough, I guess. she is gaining weight, so the pediatrician says she is ok. yeah. she’s ok. then they say “she seems really uncomfortable” and we both look at her, with her back arched and kicking her legs and screaming and red inflamed cradle cap. yeah she sure does look uncomfortable huh? I think she is really uncomfortable and we tried the lactation consultant and the naturopath and the physical therapist and the baby massage therapist and the feeding therapist and the overnight help and the post-partum doula. and we tried keeping her upright and doing paced feeding with a bottle and burping her more and having her latch from a different position. and I tried not drinking caffeine and not eating dairy and not eating eggs or cabbage or beans or onions or soy or wheat. who even eats that much cabbage and we tried tubby todd cream and we tried olive oil and we tried oatmeal baths. it sure seems like a food intolerance thing so, yeah, it will really suck if it turns out that while I have been working my ass off to breastfeed this baby I have actually been poisoning her. and part of me knows that she won’t cry forever, both empirically from the first baby and logically. like she’ll get bigger and learn to walk and talk and go to school and graduate from college and I don’t think she’ll be purple-faced and screaming when she walks across the stage. I “know” that. but it doesn’t really feel like that. it feels like this baby will truly never stop crying. and people suggest increasing random-sounding things. “have you tried goats-milk formula?!?” no. I haven’t tried goats milk formula. I don’t know. I haven’t tried dressing her only in yellow. I haven’t tried having her listen to Jimi Hendrix. like on the one hand I feel like I’ve tried everything but I guess there is actually an infinite number of things I could keep trying. but to keep trying random suggestions in desperate hope and having them not work is exhausting and sure doesn’t make me feel any more competent. but I guess that is the path forward. it is worth feeling increasingly stupid and helpless if it means one day she might relax and snuggle up and feel ok.

@paulg @Appyg99 So many people replying to adjacent thoughts instead of listening to what people are saying. She’s not saying immigrants can’t vote, can’t have an opinion. Don’t try to tear down the values system of the place you move to shouldn’t be controversial.

@Appyg99 No country is perfect. Disliking things that are broken in your country of origin doesn't mean you shouldn't try to fix other things that are broken in your adoptive country.

When one decides to immigrate to a different country, it’s basically admitting that the country you’re immigrating to provides you with opportunities & values that you wouldn’t have in your home country. If you truly think your own values are superior & you find yourself defacing the local cultural symbols, I sincerely believe you should go back to your roots or whatever other country that you can completely blend into. The idiocy of trying to recreate a shit hole after immigrating away from it makes no sense.

With copilot and ChatGPT I can now be an average data engineer, backend engineer, data scientist, as well as an above average FE engineer.

I find these takes odd, how do you think our brains work? We “steal” knowledge from the internet and use that to try to create code. It took me a long time to get average at it.

@owenbroadcast One of the interesting things for me as a parent is realizing how some of the bad things that happened as a child led to some of the characteristics I most admire in myself. Haven’t figured out what to do with that yet

but theres really no flash or narrative there. alright. you get over it. thats not really a redemption arc. one solid answer for what a redemption arc COULD look like is: you have your own kid. you create a new smaller version of yourself, and then you don't do that to them.

a question i've often been asked over the last two years is: what's the most surprising part of having a kid? normally my answer has been something about the parent child bond however, now my answer is different. here's something i wish someone had told me beforehand, tbh ...

@evinh111 @DaleJohnsonESPN Why wasn't it checked by England? Why wasn't Hooper shown this still? Especially after they KNEW they wrongly disallowed a goal, why take a chance you get something wrong? Same for the Gomez penalty

@DaleJohnsonESPN Question regarding this: "when the replays show that an opponent's leg has effectively been bent by the tackle that will be seen as evidence of excessive force." Then why wasn't Udogie sent off too, for bending Gakpo's ankle around?

The VAR Review is LIVE. 📌 What went wrong for Luis Diaz's offside goal 📌 How it unfolded in the VAR hub 📌 How an opportunity was missed to fix it 📌 The rest of the weekend's incidents espn.com/soccer/story/_…

If Curtis Jones gets a red for endangering an opponent, what is this? It's dangerous and reckless, ends up causing an injury to Gakpo.

Why give Jota such a soft yellow? Why not give Gomez a solid penalty appeal? So many 50-50 decisions went Spurs way the rest of the match it doesn't make sense.

What's odd about the Simon Hooper and Darren England situation: if they knew they took away a solid Liverpool goal, wouldn't they want to make up for the call the rest of the match?

I love getting parenting advice from people who have no kids. (And no your dog/cat is not the same as a pre-teen).
