Imagine actually reading the article before commenting.


Imagine reading the title.


I am a linux desktop user shopping for a laptop and I disagree because of the windows laptop options with 2500+ cuda cores.

I just can't decide between a macbook air, thinkpad and msi windows machine with a nice NVIDIA card.


If you look Geoff Shullenberger other writings on that site, they are just some hack that writes about whatever hot political bullshit take there is to have at that time.

We are just drowning in stupid news opinion that is begging for clicks and not irrelevance.

I learned absolutely nothing from this article. Just a total waste of time to read.


I didn't browse any other articles by this author, but yeah, that's what this article had the ring of to me. "If I write an article that states the assumptions a bunch of people already have, those people will click on it!"


You need to use Occam's Razor more.

It it has been at least 20 years since anyone with a brain went into journalism and the results are painfully obvious.

There is no grand conspiracy. The news is just shit.


I'm willing to use Occam's Razor when it comes to xitter/reddit/tumblr nobodies spouting schizo shit, but media outlets have editors and senior editors, who dictate the agenda of the publication, approve/disapprove what gets published, and most importantly - report directly to the owners.

there is no 'conspiracy' because it is publicly known and easily verifiable that over 50% of mass media is owned by a handful of multinational corporations and oligarchs.

the tunes they all sing are so remarkably similar, it's impossible not to recognize the persistent patterns after you listen for a while.


It is not possible for you to know that there is no conspiracy, and Occam's Razor is for making fast predictions, not discerning truth (it is unreal how many smart people do not know this).

Our education system is shit, and I find it very hard to believe that very specific things being skipped is not intentional.


Time works wonderfully for books. It is a different problem with music though because I want to find newer stuff than Debussy and Miles Davis.


I wish everyone else would use this product as to eliminate themselves from interviews while I just talk.

Years back I even realized that I was far over-preparing for interviews because I like to be prepared. So I had a canned response to basically every question that was going to be asked. Not surprisingly, I didn't get any of those jobs.

Who would have guessed that hiring managers aren't looking to hire robots with zero personality and that an interview is not a trivia game show that the hiring manager is just adding up points from "correct" answers to see who wins and nothing else.


There are sometimes “wrong” answers in an interview but I try not to ask questions that have a “right” answer.

For example: “Describe a production issue you dealt with and how you approached it”. It doesn’t matter what the issue was, how you fixed it, etc. I want to see that you _have_ dealt with a prod issue and also talk through how you solved it or how you debugged the problem.

In an interview I’m trying gauge how you think, how you will interact with me/the team, how you approach problems. If you can talk and explain your reasoning you are already ahead of the pack. The worst thing you can do is freeze up. Give me a stream of consciousness over freezing up any day of the week.

I often ask questions like “What do you think about X tech?” just to get you talking about it, not because I want you to say “I love it” or “I hate it”.


"Everyone else is doing it wrong!"

From 30+ years of working out this seems to be the absolute standard line when it comes to fitness.

I just think the idea of $10 a month is a delusional value proposition when I pay $20 a month for chatGPT4o.


Hey, I appreciate you checking out the app and providing the feedback. If you download the top 20 personal fitness apps in any of the app stores you would see a stark difference. I know because I researched over a 100 apps and websites myself. This difference is not so much in the "standard features", though most lack support and customization capabilities - (PARIAN is still in a very early stage of development and has both), but the major difference is in the quality of workouts - what actually matters. I've spent almost two years researching and refining the PARIAN workout model, and as someone with 11+ years with domain experience - can clearly tell the difference. I can tell you now not only is PARIAN the best personalized workouts builder, but will significantly improve in the coming updates.

Regarding GPT4o, while it's amazing tech that only keeps getting better, PARIAN is an entire comprehensive platform that makes training seamless. To get something comparable out of ChatGPT, you would have to know exactly what you want and spend time prompting it (but if you have the expertise to prompt you're probably not the target dem), and periodically make sure it's not hallucinating. Additionally, we provide workout video tutorials and keep track of your workouts and progress along the way. ChatGPT does not. The $10 PARIAN Plan you mentioned is also a one time payment for the personalized workout program, and is half the price of ChatGPT monthly.


In the revolutionary war, Washington commanded an army with a 1lb of bread ration a day.

The energy efficiency of the human body is what is actually mind boggling vs robotics.


This is all delusional.

I am basically anti-marriage for myself but an expensive diamond ring is acting like a form of collateral. It is a form of insurance that one party is not completely fraudulent about their financial situation.

Imagine that, these long held traditions actually have practical purposes and are not just random nonsense that is so easily solved by technology.

People hopelessly addicted to social media and bullshit are just total suckers for these type of stories though.


“It is a form of insurance that one party is not completely fraudulent about their financial situation.”

The credit industry has entered the room.


IMO it is just missing a way to turn off quantize and then turn it back on so you can both be on the grid and also swing or be ahead/behind the beat.

As typical though with anything related to web audio, it is neat one off parlor trick to show web programming skill but isn't worth the effort.

A circle is a compact way to make a useless quantized beat but if you want to take this further it will just end up reinventing the DAW wheel timeline. Otherwise, you have to have a sequencer for the circles, and then a timeline and then just get rid of the circles and have the timeline. In other words, a piano roll.

On another level, it is the coolness but uselessness of circular data visualization.
