@Mappletons Skills are a great example of unmaintainable slop that will put a ceiling on ai productivity gains

How is everyone managing their agent SKILL.md files? Is it just chaos?
Global skills, repo-specific skills, keeping them in sync between machines, figuring out which ones you have installed, authoring new ones. What are we doing? Does anyone have a sane system?

There is probably no bigger crime against humanity than the destruction of the United Kingdom.
England in the 90s, where I grew up, was actual paradise.
The pub gardens, the white people, oasis with fish and chips.
There were full bars and clubs 7 nights a week in every single town let alone city.
Always something to do. Even if you were poor, go out with a tenner and have the best time.
10,000 pound night today is 1% of what a 10-pound night was back then.
Neighborly people.
Safe streets. Even the council estates were safe.
You had to live it to understand it.
Everything’s been destroyed.

@justindeanlee Many of us have decided that "challenging faith" is a waste of energy, because believers are so emotionally locked into their delusional systems trying to lift them out with rational argument is pointless.
English
Our civilization is no longer capable of producing atheists intellectually curious enough to challenge faith. The arguments of the most lauded living atheist philosophers amount to the dreck below. None of these guys can even define "God."
All atheism is reddit-tier atheism.

how do people actually believe in a literal resurrection without lobotomizing themselves? like the universe is causally closed and follows the laws of physics always except for that one time with very poor documentation and all the incentive in the world to fabricate?

is anyone at Anthropic even the slightest bit PR-minded? like do they at least realize ahead of time that people are gonna hate them, or does it really come as a big surprise somehow

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei: “50% of all tech jobs, entry-level lawyers, consultants, and finance professionals will be completely wiped out within 1–5 years.”

@bryan_johnson Just because your core hasn’t reached this higher temp doesn’t mean hsps aren’t being produced in your skin or outer layers. You don’t need to measure you’re temperature like you’re a thanksgiving turkey

Most people might miss the biggest benefit of sauna
You need to get really really hot…
Your core body temperature needs to hit 102.4°F (39°C).
For reference, a fever is anything above 100.4°F (38°C)
So I swallowed a temperature monitoring pill. It goes through your digestive tract and precisely measures your internal temperature every 30 seconds.
When your core body temperature hits the goal of 102°F, your body releases these proteins (heat shock proteins - HSPs) that clean up your body’s debris.
I was curious what time my body hits this goal because up until now, I’ve been doing 20 mins of 200°F dry sauna.
… it turns out it takes 31 minutes
It feels like you’re dying.
I didn't expert such pain and panic.
Before this experiment, I did over 200 sauna sessions at 200°F for 20 min.
This means I likely never achieved the heat shock protein (HSP) threshold at 102.4°F (39°C), which deprived me of so much sauna-health goodness.
If your sauna doesn’t heat up to temperatures allowing your core temperature to reach 102.4°F (39°C) or you struggle to tolerate heat, do not be discouraged. The dry sessions I did at 200°F (93°C) for 20 min still showed incredibly health benefits.
My previous 20 min sessions still showed:
1) 10+ yr reduction of my vascular age
2) 87% reduction of microplastics
3) detox of environmental toxins
4) fertility marker improvement
Will report back once I have results on this new protocol…

has there been a db winner for the AI era? next supabase or mongodb

Today, I’m feeling a bit worried about my career.
It’s not that I’m at risk of losing my job but the pace of change, especially with AI, feels unlike anything I’ve seen in the last 10 years.
Everything is evolving so fast that it’s hard to keep up. New tools, new expectations, new roles and honestly, even companies aren’t always sure what they want in this AI-driven world.
One day I create a structured plan to learn something deeply, and the next day priorities shift:
“We need this now. Can you implement it?”
So I switch.
And somewhere in between all of this, there’s this constant thought:
Am I really becoming good at anything?
Sometimes it feels like I’m just trying to survive the wave of AI and constant change learning a bit of everything but not mastering anything. That uncertainty is uncomfortable.
I’m trying my best - learning, adapting, doing what’s needed but there are moments where I question myself and wonder if I’m on the right path.
Maybe others in IT are feeling this too.
It's tough but I am trying to survive it.
