I was in the national forest (very near the fires here) on Labor Day and there were so many people with campfires shooting guns that the hills echoed in gunfire. Its like they feel entitled to do whatever they want because Trump is president.
Depends on the procedure. Orthopedic surgery in the USA is pretty fast to get. Getting an MRI approved when compared to, say Japan, takes forever.
48yo alpinist who climbs 5.12+ here. I’m constantly injured. If you’re not doing regular training for injury prevention it will come back to bite you in your 50’s or 60’s and you will not have the framework to navigate the injury without further fitness loss and a downward spiral of capabilities.
Your product might not benefit from AI but you definitely can get more VC investment dollars if you bolt an LLM onto the side of it and feature AI as central to what you’re offering. This is because VCs treat tech like fashion and don’t actually understand how it works or how it would integrate into our lives.
This was true for the nascent internet, and for blockchain even more, but truly nobody really understands how llms work so its way worse.
Had they summited NEWS theres a bolted rappel. The old descent route went the way they were going down. Its possible they tried to rap off ancient webbing and pitons from before the bolts were installed.
They were rappelling in a snowy couloir on a winter scramble route. A piton pulled and the shock load ripped what meager protection they had for an anchor. Its possible they didn’t have rock pro at all.
In Yosemite it is illegal to use power tools so all those bolts were drilled by hand by hitting a masonry drill bit with a hammer and twisting.
Not if it was just a one off. My car is fine and people dont flip me off when I drive it.
14 years of heavy heroin addiction leaves a toll. Kudos for him for getting clean, but also its reasonable to think that massive iv drug use at a young age causes developmental deficits.
If you like sound design, the sound design in Don’t Starve is by far the best ive ever heard. It is the game that convinced me of your point.
Former twitter engineer here. Maybe he paid more attention at his other companies but Elon was comically clueless about how the twitter machine worked. Hiring geohot and thinking a firmware cracker could make heads or tails of a massively distributed system was pure idiocy.
Totally. Matt Yglesias calls this the “crank realignment.”

That’s been my survival mechanism. I’d be homeless otherwise but I was able to hyperfixate on work related things and become a workaholic after failing out of school (where I couldn’t focus on courses I didn’t like).
My life/work balance has never been good, but its awesome to be fixated on the thing people pay you money to do.
Hi… happy to answer any questions about my work here if this sorta thing interests you.
