i have now attended one of those community data center meetings where the entire audience is so hostile their glares could peel paint none of them could explain how a cooling system works or the difference between "edge" and "hyperscaler" or "100MW" and "1GW", but they knew they hated Data Centers

“if you don’t use ai you’ll fall behind!!! stop writing code manually you’re misguided if you’re not doing it for the end result only! you could’ve done this in half the time!!! no one will hire you in three years, you’re like a farmer refusing new tools!!!“ Please just stop talking to me

I don't think this is necessarily a monocausal thing, but we need to confront that "slop" (talking way more broadly than AI here) is popular because a lot of people like it, not because it's being "shoved down your throat"

I think my most genuinely unpopular take is that a widely held and genuine consumer preference for cheaper, lower-quality goods, not private equity, is driving the decline in quality of consumer goods like clothing and housewares.

Let me say that again: waiting 1-2 years to let trans teens start HRT really is not supported by the research literature any longer. The kids so infrequently stop HRT that the delay in treatment probably causes more harm than it prevents. It's time to phase out puberty blockers for trans teens.

To say the obvious part first: if your kid tells you they're trans, they're virtually guaranteed to be right. But there really is a broader point here, and it needs to be said plainly at this point: puberty blockers--the compromise position on HRT--are unneeded. Just let them start HRT.

It’s hard to undersell the importance of Steve in our warehouse. Twenty years on the floor, runs night ops solo, and every morning we come in and the whole place has been moved — eight hundred pallets stacked to the rafters. Turns out he’s using a forklift.

It’s hard to undersell the importance of Hank Green in our space. Co-creator of Crash Course and SciShow, OG YouTuber, and a really good novelist to boot. Turns out he’s using AI.

I can’t help but notice everyone’s been really gloomy and irritable since the large hadron collider was shut off. Coincidence?
