Voter: I am a Republican that’s no longer registered. Your inaction during your presidency was a little disturbing to me. What happened during January 6th and the fact that you waited so long to take action while your supporters were attacking the Capitol. Coronavirus, I thought the public was misled and many more lives could’ve been saved.. I’m curious how people close to you in your administration don’t want to support you so why would I support you? Your own VP doesn’t want to support you.

Olen Ylellä töissä. Monimuotoisuuskohu on nyt melko kovaa.

Olen ollut tunnin infossa, jossa käytiin läpi todella mielenkiintoisia lukuja suomalaisista. Aiheina:

Asuinpaikat, mieli, kielet, ihmissuhteet, perheet, työ, toimeentulo, keho, opiskelu ja ajattelumaailma.

Developer compensation by Country 2023 from Stack Overflow Developer Survey... 🤔💰

Crazy that high end of some countries isn't even at the US low end!

AI saved my life.

- I caught a ultra-rare (1.3 in 100k) autoimmune disorder (EGPA) out of nowhere. I used GPT-4 to navigate it in a state full of neanderthals which allow people with rare or hard-to-treat disorders to die at significantly higher rates than the average.

- I found medication, developed with computational biology and machine learning by GSK (mepolizumab) which returned my heart function to normal and controls the propagation of eosinophils in my body by shutting off the IL-5 messenger, preventing them from reproducing. I found the medication by asking a council of LLM API calls possible biotherapies to treat the disorder.

- I prevented myself from bankruptcy by using GPT-4 to negotiate prior authorization requirements, check inattentive doctors' notes, and summarize my lab results for me to learn about tracking and controlling my disease. I further used these tools to negotiate with insurance and credit reporting agencies to prevent myself from getting mired in debt

- I gave myself a new career path by reskilling from an ML hobbyist, to a Prompt Engineer on salary, to an AI Systems Engineer on salary, to Director of AI Systems Engineering on salary, to Head of AI at a different company, allowing me to work 100% remote and asynchronously to have enough income to treat my disease without putting me at risk of dying by being forced into an office full of brain-poisoned boomers.

- I will continue to use these tools in extremely complex ways, including dispatching a farm of agents to augment every single one of my tasks and skills. Now I can run them locally. You cannot stop me from doing this, and I will continue to have them eat whatever material I need to feed them to perform better for their use cases. For "research purposes"

Consider taking control of your life. Consider using these tools to become free

Urging people to be positive doesn’t boost their resilience. It denies their reality.

When times are tough, we don’t need good vibes only. We need a hand to keep us steady through all the vibrations.

Strength doesn’t come from forced smiles. It comes from feeling supported.

StackOverflow is a dinosaur that's going extinct.

I mostly use Copilot, ChatGPT, and Perplexity. I haven't found a single reason to visit StackOverflow anymore.

StackOverflow can't compete, and I don't see how they can stay relevant any longer.

I use Copilot for inline suggestions. As I type, Copilot takes care of the little things. It saves me from dozens of searches every day.

ChatGPT is the workhorse. I use it to solve more complex tasks with my code. Here are some examples:

• Explain what this code does
• Simplify it
• Rewrite it in a more efficient way
• Rewrite it in a more readable way
• Replace the use of a library with another
• Write documentation for it
• Describe potential edge cases
• Write unit tests for those edge cases

I use Perplexity to ask questions. Google is broken. If you don't believe me, try Perplexity for a day.

(Google is still king as a navigation tool. I never type a complete URL in my browser. I google it instead.)

Modern AI-powered tools are replacing boomer tech.

StackOverflow is dead to me.

Type variables are what we're heads down on right now. These will be released soon.

Export to JSON is something we're waiting on the W3C community group to lock in their spec support for theming: https://t.co/eczJJwrQQ5

What we want to heavily avoid is supporting an interim standard, which ends up forking the standard and becoming its own standard. It's the XKCD standards problem:

[Hannu Aarniala (He/Him/Hän) @[email protected] @Haarniala]

Ooh yes 🙏🏼

[Brad Frost @brad_frost]

We're all eagerly awaiting Figma to roll out:

- Typography variables
- Easy variable export to JSON

Why is Madrid the capital of Spain?

Madrid is quite unique:
• No river
• Very recent
• Tiny when it became a capital
So why?

WARNING: Meteorologists are currently debating whether California is about to get hit by something that they've been dreading for a long time: A series of storms that will drop multiple feet of rain over a few weeks.

They're not certain (yet), but it is entirely possible that what is brewing in the Pacific right now heralds the beginning of the dreaded #ARkStorm. (Atmospheric River 1000 = A.R.k.)

Multiple feet of rain. In a month.
100 inches of rain, in some areas.

Yeah. That's a big deal.

The ARkStorm is a cyclical catastrophic event happens every 150-200 years. The last one hit in 1861. When it returns, it will do more damage to the state than a major 8.0 earthquake (the big one) would.

It will displace MILLIONS of people up and down the state. It will destroy roads and bridges. It will leave major metro areas like Los Angeles without clean running water and electricity for weeks.

The biggest danger?
By the time city officials realize that they need to evacuate neighborhoods, there won't be enough time and resources to evacuate everyone.

The Central Valley will be especially hard hit. It will become a 300 mile long, 20 mile wide lake. Their homes will be covered in 10-20 feet of flood water.

I know it sounds impossible.
But this is a real danger.
And it might be here. Now.

So follow meteorologists on Twitter. Keep your eye on the local news. Sign up for local Nixle alerts on your phone. Make a plan, and be ready to go.

But remember, they won't be able to definitively say it's an ARkStorm until it's probably too late to leave. So if you're not up for this, evacuate early, if circumstances allow.

Privacy is hard. Everything can be a microphone. You can recover audio data from:
🛍️The vibrations of chip bags in a video
💡The slight fluctuations of light as hanging lightbulbs are moved by speech
🤖The lidar beams of robot vacuum cleaners
🤳The autofocus in your phone picture

6. An AI mirror for mental health by Baracoda

It analyzes your expressions, gestures, and tones and adapts to your mood with light therapy, meditational walkthroughs, and self-affirmations.

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

Hot take: NO ONE actually wants AI to:
1) Book their vacations
2) Order a random pizza
3) Have access to their bank account

Why are we creating tech no one wants?
