VP @ RedShelf, Cofounder at Ungambled. Drifting w/o intention is a waste. You make yourself through your actions; choose to be someone worth being. 🇵🇸

@engineering_bae maybe a little of both haha

note that it relies on jobs being fed to it in a json file; i used @DrSCoffin's excellent open source job scraper to feed it what it needs. check it out, feedback welcome

i just open sourced my autonomous job hunter project.

the state of job hunting today is absolutely broken, so I made a tool which lets everyone automatically apply to jobs, hopefully pushing companies to adopt better processes by burning the system down

@BentleyAudrey Def worth going, though in terms of museums, imo the Natural History Museum and the Udvar Hazy Air and Space museum are better (but the latter is 30 min outside the city). As for what else to do, FDR / MLK / TJ memorials + Roosevelt Island + the National Mall + Georgetown imo

Slow down and remember this:

Most things make no difference.

Being busy is a form of laziness��lazy thinking and indiscriminate action.

Being overwhelmed is often as unproductive as doing nothing, and is far more unpleasant.

Being selective—doing less—is the path of the productive.

Focus on the important few and ignore the rest.

@DrCatharineY The *first*?! Gotta make it a habit, everyone needs regular, true breaks to be at their best. Plus there's no way to even know what true long term relaxation will unlock in you unless you try 🙂

i’m uncomfortable with how much my baby wants to please me. sometimes if he’s getting all dysregulated while playing i suggest he look for his bunny, which reliably gives him a mission that makes him happy. but now when he gets his bunny he holds it up like “look mom, just as you wanted!”

and sometimes i’ve asked him if he wants to give his bunny a kiss, and now he just by default looks at me, kisses the bunny, and then checks back to see if i’m pleased.

ahhh i don’t want this! i want him to follow his own heart. there’s something so sad about it to me. all he wants is for me to be happy but he doesn’t need to worry about that. i’m just happy he exists.

@Microsoft @MicrosoftHelps 20 calls and over 4 hours on the phone later, I still have received zero help in dealing with a fraudulent Exchange account made on my website. And your phone system is so bad that several numbers just hang up randomly. What the actual fuck!

@AnjaliVBhatt It's so insane just how warped people's perceptions become when they spend too much time in a bubble, especially when that bubble is online and not even comprised of real life interactions 🤦🏽‍♂️😂

[Sahil Talwar @_pwep]

@GergelyOrosz I suspect it's due as much to the management and culture churn they've been experiencing lately as it is to architecture, tech debt, etc. I've heard some real horror stories about how rough it's been over there over the past couple of years. Do you have any insight there?

@joelgascoigne Ah - @joelgascoigne, are you familiar with the ICM approach? I think the reason I can get away with just a max subscription is because I use that for my agents. Happy to share if not!

[Sahil Talwar @_pwep]

@joelgascoigne I've been thinking similarly. But a prereq is upgrading my hardware; I've found a YouTube channel which covers great alternatives to Nvidia chips for far less money.....but still thousands. So it still feels early to me, because I can get by on a max subscription. Soon, though

Not really sure how we explain to later generations how there was a highly televised ethnic cleansing in 4K

@notsoErudite They CAN help small towns if they aren't shoved through under NDA with towns bidding to give them the biggest tax breaks, are situated away from residential areas, use modern cooling systems, and don't negatively impact the local environment - but that's not usually the case atm

[Shaiel Ben-Ephraim @academic_la]

This investigation by the Financial Times is staggering in its findings and in its scope and methodological rigor. Some of the findings, backed up by incredible levels of forensic evidence:

1) Israel completed much of its systematic destruction across Israeli-occupied southern Lebanon after Israeli forces took control of already-emptied villages in mid-April, and after the April 17 ceasefire. The ceasefire was used to make these areas completely uninhabitable.

2) The scale of destruction is incredible. Roughly 85,000 housing units damaged or destroyed (likely an undercount); 62 villages and farms inside the "yellow line" occupation zone, covering ~6% of Lebanon and extending ~10km inland, with ~270,000 residents barred from returning. Over 20% of the south's farmland and forest destroyed, ancient olive groves worst hit. All Litani river bridges destroyed; at least 2,500km of water infrastructure gone.

3) This is stated policy and an intentional plan to make an entire area uninhabitable and never allow the population to return. Defence minister Israel Katz explicitly invoked the "Rafah and Beit Hanoun model" and later boasted of destroying "24 Lebanese villages… not house by house, but entire villages."

4) This is without a doubt a war crime. Destruction of property requires immediate military necessity and not speculative ideas that Hezbollah may use a building some day. Not allowing the return amounts to the ethnic cleansing of the area.

The lack of any real consequences for Gaza, meant that Israel felt free to do the same in Lebanon. It is now doing the same in the West Bank. This will stop unless we stop it.

The treasury department has now removed the requirement for US companies to report who owns them….

A key piece of preventing international money laundering via foreign ownership structures.

The rationale given? None.

It cuts both ways - the same thing can be said for sitting at your desk working heads down. Beyond a point, that's not moving the needle either, productive though it may feel.

Different personalities will avoid one or the other, but both are needed for real success.

[Gurpriya @GurpriyaSidhu]

Everything you do outside of the actual work, say networking, research, studying, events, beyond a point, is a distraction. It feels productive. It feels in service of the craft. But the hard thing is to sit at your desk. What happens between you and a piece of paper, or a screen, is what matters. It is the only thing that matters. You will try to avoid it for as long as you can but that is what you must come back to again and again.
