I did laugh at this meme, then but I came in here to make sure there was a warning.

Doing this is an awful way to spend a month in the hospital, get permanently disgusted, and possibly die.

Edit: disgusted --> disfigured, but I don’t have the great to change the existing text

That has happened to me.

I’m currently running what was a team of three that all got fired and I got told to take over the whole thing alone.

It also looks horrific because ice is white and stains with blood easily, so as opposed to shooting a deer in grass, killing a seal looks incredibly gory.

Why are we talking about Russia when my Ontario elementary school showed videos of the seal hunt? I vividly remember that happening with a strong: this is wrong take.

You can only get so famous before the seal penis lobby come after you.

Canadians need to realize that eating seal is as normal as eating a lamb chop or a veal sandwich,” added Kolga.

Am I having a stroke? What? What the fuck is going on with this article?

Who talks about fucking veal sandwiches like it’s an every day thing? I’ve never in my life seen seal meat for sale, not heard of anyone having tried it.

I like to thread the needle between “useful verification of identity” and “not a horrifying invasion of privacy that puts everyone in our society at risk”

Reading these kinds of things will just result in is creating horrible identification laws like having to scan your face each time you want to watch porn.

I don’t know, last year I worked for a private firm that offered me a shitload of stock options then diluted them after I started.

You’re fucked unless you’re the boss.

I’m sorry to hear you got fired. Falling behind tickets is a failure of management not staff. If there’s too much work then you’re not scheduling enough workers

The more you learn about numbers, the more arbitrary you realize they are.

Careful, the tech CEOs will think this is a festival and coopt everything good about it.

Since Covid I think the tech CEOs only talk to other tech CEOs, VCs demanding their payout, and their EAs.

The CEO bubble was so clearly visible with NFTs and now AI.

I got into tech partially because you can scale a product much further and much cheaper than conventional industries. I was able to create and sell two small tech products/companies I made by myself, and that’s how I got into the industry.

I think in tech you can vastly cut jobs while keeping the product alive, but it’s impossible to grow a product without a solid team who knows the product deeply. These current cuts save money now and companies aren’t seeing the downside, but long term opportunities will become harder and harder to actually reach.

Having too many layers of hierarchy is bad because you can’t coordinate teams and move. Having too few means your staff will need to acquire tech debt and you’ll start seeing failures nobody understands.

This is short term gain for shareholders, long-term pain as companies will see lower growth and have to resort to more squeezing of existing customers.

Work in tech, I’m so fucking overworked lately that it’s massively cut down my productivity.

I can’t keep jumping from short deadline high priority to short deadline high priority and still do the baseline work needed to be efficient. So what ends up happening is I’m doing way more throw away work now than I ever have.

If I had more staff on my team we could balance the work out and get stable foundations to work from, but that doesn’t let leadership pretend we’re all better off now than a year ago and that the institutional failings of the org are all solved because they expertly threw the right people in the trash via randomly firing people.

For any depth D the tip experiences D^2/2 times the wear, so that’s natural.

Wendy’s had a recruitment campaign “a job at Wendy’s serves me right” and I could not think of a job there as anything other than a punishment for something

Always chasing cars but never knowing that to do when you catch them. OP is a Jack Russel terrier.

They’re nice dogs but I would never ever bring one into this world or super people who do.

I have family that foster dogs, they’ve had so many frenchies with severe back issues, or breathing issues, to the point the dog can’t do things like run around and enjoy themselves.

I just think we shouldn’t breed them anymore. They’re too good for the life we’re force them into for it own vanity.

Your parents didn’t give you blinding stew?

It’s not that bad. It doesn’t hurt, it’s scary at first but you adapt. It never made me want to get revenge on my parents, and I haven’t jaywalked since. I actually got it twice when I got suspended from school but the second time was baloney.

While sucky, this feels inevitable.

With LLMs and the massive wave of spam coming out right now make caching content way more expensive. And then Google gains no value from this. Long tail spam attacks are already strangling google lately.

I think the only way to run a search engine in the mid 2020s is to download the data, process the page in memory, extract to metadata+embeddings and store only those. There’s no value in storing the rendered page offline for later analysis since you’re likely not doing that later analysis.

Internet Archive hopefully can fare better by being curated by humans and storing data infrequently when important, whereas Google needs to scan a lot of info frequently with nearly no human input.
