I've got a weird platonic will-they-or-won't-they thing going on with a co-worker where it seems we'd make great friends, we're interested in similar stuff, but he seems to pull back whenever i get friendly and act all friendly and message memes and emoji when i'm least prepared. bizarre man.

There are criticisms to be made of the kolkata protests but god I'm still so proud of my city and the fierce women who go out in the streets in mass numbers and protest injustice.

haven't said it here in a hot minute so reiterating, zionists fuck off, Israel is exactly as evil as Nazi Germany, if you believe the zionist project can be reformed then kill yourself

it should not be this difficult to find out how to install something in something that's a package manager! it should not be this confusing to then have to find out that the method that they provide that's similar to stuff like yum and apt is actually NOT the way they've designed the package manager to be used! it took me like 5 hours to actually find arguments online that pointed me to the correct method and how configuration.nix actually even works!

dunno how to quantify it but i'm able to work on at least one medium sized task or three small sized tasks a week. Big projects vary more.

Fuck, nix is going to be the next big thing in dev now, isn't it
Might as well luck into this upskill

Survey by Upwork:
- 96% of bosses expect that AI will make their workers more productive
- 85% of companies are either requiring or strongly encouraging workers to use AI
- 49% of workers have no idea how AI is supposed to increase their productivity
- 77% of workers say using AI decreases their productivity

> There is a tremendous amount of tacit knowledge that workers have... both French and British trade unions in their history have experimented with these types of strikes where workers just follow the rules. They do exactly what the rule book says their responsibilities are. And it turns out to be quite disastrous for the companies. Because most of what actually workers do is much more adaptive than just following the rules.

Good interview about AI and the industry.

slightly related but i'm seeing so much anger on the new tax code that automatically assumes 30% tax on salary, makes me realize how much of the groups clustered around me or on my social media have 15L+ earnings per annum.

on one hand it's v funny that Kamala Harris immediately has a stronger public image and odds than Hillary Clinton
on the other hand i'm seeing posts here saying "look at this immigrant family's scion taking on an anti-immigrant orange" as if she didn't go to a South American country to explicitly discourage them from immigrating

Masto, how we feeling about Biden's dropout
Is it going to be the convicted orange felon vs the prosecutor who's infamous for delivering harsh prison sentences for weed possession
Will we have our first Hindu* president in the US who's also symbolically named after the BJP's election symbol*

the problem with being a really good coder is that when you see a near-insurmountable issue you can't just give up, you have to waste lots of time trying to find a solution because it's juuuust out of reach
(I spent 4 days on a defect that didn't even on a repo i worked on, though that part I realized yesterday - still didn't give up until i found a solution)
(I have problems)

also my libido's taken a massive hit as well, and it was already impacted due to my poor physical health, so all the meds have done is make me last longer, lol

with work pressures, the ongoing care work for the medical case kitten we've taken on, and the fact that we're STILL living paycheck to paycheck, i just feel so tired all the time man

The BIGGEST THING developers don't talk about when it comes to big MNCs investing in GenAI - and they should talk more about it! - the successful projects WE work on for the company are funding their GenAI investments.
Sure, there's stockmarket valuation as well, but that doesn't give a market position by itself - it's the workers whose work is entrenching, funding and empowering these CEOs to invest in these datacenters and compute licenses required to keep up with GenAI's massive bills.

btw my company's shooting itself in the foot actively. There's BusinessInsider articles every month about how the employees hate it here and the leadership's trying to hide it, but even beyond that, some of our products are getting cancelled and teams getting merged, and there's a general air of desperation from leadership to get things both good and in the market ASAP.
all this and they dove headfirst into AI, so we're bleeding money with no revenue on the horizon

2024-07-19 08:51:26

i feel much more drained these days, as if there's nothing i can do that i want to
this is after adhd meds - inspiral doesn't work on me the same way it did in 2019, i feel at most like my brain is jogging, but that gap between thought and action isn't contracting
the shrink said vortioxetene will need a long-term time investment, all it does to me right now is make me feel nauseous and fatigued

would be interested in that too, i feel wfh increased the catch-up meetings leadership wanted, now they're forcing us out of wfh and keeping the same number of meetings anyway, so meetings+commute ends up taking so much time that there's none left for work.

> Back in Washington, there have been clear signs throughout his term of Biden being increasingly stage-managed, with lists of talking points, names of questioners and drawings of where he should walk presented to him by aides
Amazing lmao, an actively genocidal president who is losing his mind while in the most powerful seat in the world.

feel like I've always heard schoolkids keep coming to Snapchat, insta is where the oldies are + maintaining streaks is addictive to people who haven't spent much time on the net by comparison

Finally listened to Solar Power by Lorde. Most of what I heard about it was wrong! This is an album about positivity, but it's not a happy album - she's doing therapy on it, trying to move on from the fame, cracking dark jokes about the worst people she's met on the way. A lot of it ends up being minimalist as a result, simple guitars and occasional drums backing a lot of melancholy - that's the main difference, i think, the music itself. Liability wouldn't feel out of place on here.

"When a minister tells Parliament they will do something specific, the statement is considered an assurance... All such assurances by the government have to be implemented within three months... In this case of alleged corruption by Adani Group, the BJP government... instead asked Parliament to forget all about it.
