The hubris that circulates around LLMs is astounding.

I believe the focus on LDL as 'bad' has been misguided. It's an improvement from 'all cholesterol is bad', but we just don't understand very much about how it all works, and so as we discover more, we slowly refine our understanding.

A lot of the theory about why LDL is 'bad' is based on the fact that arterial damage is repaired with the stuff, causing plaque. There's no evidence that LDL is causing the damage, just that it has a role in how it's fixed (in an ultimately detrimental way).

If you're a manager, your job is to do things that make you uncomfortable.

Yep, one thing I noticed when I moved into a management role, was that the things that would make you move along as an employee, are the things it's now your job to fix or deal with. Maybe this is obvious, but there's kind of a visceral shift in perception that goes along with it.

An experienced CEO joined a mid-sized company that I worked at a few years. His opening line, in his first all hands was a joke about firing the people who were a few minutes late to the call. It was obviously a joke, but you really can't make a worse impression and he was gone within a year.

It's not a great job market (and unlikely to wildly improve), but you're young and have savings. There will never be a better time to feel the satisfaction of quitting because you plain just don't like it there.

Some of the other comments have advice like trying to get furloughed, and all those seem worth a shot, but yeah.... just walk!

I know that for piston engine aircraft, it is critical that the engine be properly warmed up before takeoff. Otherwise, the engine would likely stall shortly after liftoff, leading inevitably to a crash. This is a common cause of accidents.

This is not true. Engine start to takeoff is usually at least a few minutes, but there is no critical temperature factor for the engine (barring extreme heat or cold).

It's a lot like a car, you don't want to overly stress by flooring it when cold, before oil is circulating comfortable -- but running for 10s of seconds is plenty to get going.

People don't trust a random pipe that serves up free water literally because of the business model of selling a basic commodity like water.

"Ewww look at that dirty TAP water ugh, get some beautiful island fresh water in this bottle!" Of course, it's the same water anyway, but now someone has made money off it.

Capitalism (and since saying that word makes people so mad, let's say "capital seeking behavior" instead) is so hilariously perverse, we've now got advertisement supported tap water, because we advertised tap water v1.0 into obsolescence. And then realized tap water v2.0 (bottled water) actually had unintended consequences (plastic). So THIS time it'll work! Tap Water v3.0!

I don't disagree, but our current socioeconomic/government system leads us to wildly bad situations where we have privatized industries hellbent on extracting every last cent possible from disadvantaged populations (in every sense of the word) and then using that money to further their aims and resource extraction via influencing legislature.

It spreads, it's self perpetuating, it's sick, and it is a disease.

NetApp Kubernetes Service | Senior Golang Developers | REMOTE (US timezones) | Full-time

NKS offers customers a simple click-to-deploy production Kubernetes cluster across clouds and on-premise. My team builds application management features on top of this platform, using tools like Golang, Tekton, KNative, Helm. Example projects: develop secure tunnel for remote access to on-premise clusters, design buildpack workflow for building and deploying services directly into Kubernetes clusters, build GraphQL API for exposing remote cluster logs and metrics.

We're looking for experienced developers to write applications and tools in Golang. Kubernetes experience is nice, but not required.

You're missing the point that the war on drugs is racist, oppressive, expensive and counterproductive. Adding technology does not improve any aspect of that.

FWIW I do not think driving high is safe at all, but I don't think it's a serious problem either (by the numbers).
