Seems like people forget that work is not the goal, but economical freedom is. And its all about politics. Humanity reached a production capacity that human work is barely needed to sustain everyone. But there is greed and wars. Also, humans are social creatures, we still need one another for relationships. Hell, removing work will let us enjoy our relationships even more. Also, as long as there are wars, rest assured there are plenty of jobs. War is, sadly, a huge industry

I guess I'll have an agent for that one day. News agent.

I am interested in a post that will teach me how to consume only the news that really relevant for me

I am determined to find real life local connections. No doom scrolling, no “social” media no hacker news

In my opinion - just do it. What you want. Message someone you haven’t talked with for years. Ask someone out. Smile :-). Say hello. Strike a conversation with a stranger.

You deserve it, because you are a human

The future of problem solving is problem solvers

So many new facts to learn and I like how popular a post about the natural world is here

The smaller the job market relative to candidates, the more the differentiators are both important and also meaningless to the actual job

I think the unhappiness we experience from AI is not because of AI, but a symptom of a society that lacks more humanism. I currently like to define AI's level of intelligence as its ability to reduce human suffering. By this definition, if AI failed to keep you and society happy for whatever reason, then it is stupid. If you or people around you feeling worthless, anxious, depressed, starving, because of AI, it is stupid! And society needs you to fix it!

We are living in the internet era.

I think one can do an engineering job as easily with or without a degree.

I think attending college may have value in terms of social life.

I think degrees are used today as a mean to filter job candidates in the absence of better ways to assess candidates. So degrees are inflationary in the sense that if everyone had X degrees, jobs would require X+1 degrees as they have to filter out candidates if they are saturated with applications.

They wrote mega defensive and very boring code How I love boring code, and I am getting more defensive. Good-sleep-oriented-programming. For much of my career I took technical debt on myself because I felt uncomfortable giving generous time estimations with ample buffers. I am ashamed. But now I learn to push the breaks, ask for help and escalate unexpected problems as early as possible in the project. I don't need the trendiest tech on my resume as long as the team is happy and sleep well.

What also important in what you do to minimize personal footprint, is that you influence others by sharing it

I feel like the important skill to learn is learning itself, and it becomes more and more pronounced. I think the idea of learning and adjusting to each and every company you are about to apply can be intimidating at first. The world is changing fast. Skills and tools deprecate quickly – and it is getting even faster now. It only make sense the recruiter will pay more attention to core traits such as motivation, communication, creativity and ability to learn – vs technical knowledge which is still necessary but has less weight. So having an applicant learned about your company and demonstrating why this particular match could work, could hint about the traits aforementioned.

No control. I don't believe I am affected by placebo.

I like experimenting with different lifestyles to see how I feel. Most of the times there are too many variables to make conclusions. Anyway, I tried going vegetarian for few weeks, then introduced fish to diet and felt noticeably better. Then, I tried remove fish and take fish oil instead. Felt absolutely no benefits. At-least feeling wise. I repeated this experiment multiple times so I am sure it isn't coincidence

I can relate to the career anxiety aspect. The way I want to look at it is, if AI is smart enough to occupy creative jobs such as engineers, the world could be heaven. The "only" problem left is politics. Humans will spend the rest of their unoccupied time negotiating distribution of all resources produced by robots.

For me, the solution to work-from-home loneliness (or even loneliness in general), would be having more local work spaces where you can meet other work-from-home peers from your local town.

Face-to-face interactions and sense of belonging are as important as sleep, exercise and nutrition.

There is only now.

Finally, you're still very young

I am 34 and want to say to the 23 yo regretting their high-school/college years: Learn and reflect on your past but don't dwell too much, because there is a hell you can do now. By learning from your past, you turn it into gold.

Taken NMN 500g pill in morning for the first time last week, for 4 days. I felt physically and mentally very energized. My sleep length reduced to only couple of hours at night, so I stopped completely. First night after stopping was completely sleepless. Second night was solid and back to normal sleep pattern and energy.

In the last couple of years I felt like a party pooper when I brought global warming topic and its connection to consumption such as fossil fuel, meat, etc. My personal lifestyle is obviously insignificant no matter how low in CO2. But I still express my bad feeling about it and I hope more people make the same associations, if that what will permeate the issue up to top decision makers.

Thanks for the TL/DR

It is all about tangibility. That is why we install car reverse parking sensors. If people had glasses that see air pollution, they would revolt. If people had access to a very accurate live and high-res computer simulation of climate-change, or anything, they would take it more seriously. People are spoiled with regard to the level of accuracy and tangibility they require to be convinced.

That kind of change can feel scary or threatening...

....a hot-swap start-up promises something familiar but better.

I was thinking in this regard about "AI" being hard to trust, as it is inherently a magical black box.

I am thinking the same, and in a midst of self experiment where I ensure I get a decent dose of just seeing the world in bright daylight. Week into it and my sleep feels pretty solid. Easy to avoid daylight when working indoors all day.

I have set myself a daily dose of daylight exposure, either by going out or looking through windows. I feel my sleep has improved since I started a week ago. Although I don't want to jump to conclusions early. So maybe nature, or daylight, or good weather, or all of them - does it to me.

I write this comment while sitting in a local garden to start my day.

With all of the modernization and streamlining that has happened in other parts of our lives, apartment hunting remains unstructured, messy, frustrating, stressful.

If multiple candidates compete over the same apt, no searching method in the world will resolve the issue. Either you have high supply of apts, or a super intelligent city software that matches people to available apartments based on their socioeconomic and professional profiles.

Seems it happens at the same time of the day in each case.

I have galaxy s7. I don't get why I cannot remove apps like "Samsung Health", "Samsung Internet", "Samsung Members", etc. I constantly pushed with updates on these, and all I can do is flaging the updates as inappropriate.
