The author of the article had an interesting solution to this. Flip a coin to see who implements the feature.

Heads you code. Tails you review.


Where does one apply for a generalist role / any flexibility on Visa sponsoring if I relocate myself? (My experience is lock and key for what you've got going e.g. I founded a robotic tile laying company, and an IoT Ag-tech company)


Drop me an email (see my website, link in bio) with some details. We can sponsor visas for engineering positions.


A wishlist as short as it is improbable:

1. Overturn citizens united. (get money out of politics)

2. Rank-choice voting. (get extremists out of politics)

3. Remove cap on House of Representatives (washington only wanted 1 rep per 30,000 people... we're currently at 1 per 750,000...) (get lack of representation out of politics)

4. Mandatory voting / national holiday.

e.g. at its core, people are not being heard (or even worse, feel like their voice doesn't matter) and vested interests have fully taken the wheel.


Hard to multiply without a host.


I think it's worth noting that we can't even combat the real horrors. The fox is already in the henhouse. The quote that sticks with me is:

"We've already lost our first encounter with AI" - I think Yuval Hurari.

Algorithms heavily thumbed the scales on our social contracts. Where did all of the division come from? Why is extremism blossoming everywhere? Because it gets clicks. Maybe we're just better observing what's been going on under the hood all along, but it seems like there's about 350 million little cans of gasoline dousing American eyeballs.

Make Algorithms Govern All indeed.


Genetic diversity is a damnable thing. Listen to your body. Mine gets "hot" when I drink (I suspect it's general inflammation when my liver is working overtime to break everything down), which then disallows proper sleep.

If I've been dry for ~ a week, I'll notice sleep degradation around two beers drank <4 hours before going to bed.

If I've been in a groove of going out, the limit is higher.


Generally it's not that the limit is higher - it's that your body gets used to it and you don't notice your worsened baseline.


I would watch this romcom.


If you ever get the opportunity, have a chicken perch on your finger.

First thing you'll notice is much lighter they are than they look.

Second thing you'll notice is how hot their feet are.

A tangible lesson in the importance of surface area vs volume wrt mechanical, thermo, aero systems.


Hey I'm trying to alleviate this issue from a technical standpoint and am trying to find others to join me. It's no cure-all, but the other paths would upend a century of legal precedence. Shoot me a PM if you're looking for work.


"You’re supposed to make only two quarts of Kool-Aid from a package, but he always made a gallon, so his Kool-Aid was a mere shadow of its desired potency. And you’re supposed to add a cup of sugar to every package of Kool-Aid, but he never put any sugar in his Kool-Aid because there wasn’t any sugar to put in it.

He created his own Kool-Aid reality and was able to illuminate himself by it." -Brautigan
