could they have a pervasive brain rot from staring at oversaturated instagram shots for too long? 🤔

instead of setting reciprocal tariffs, USA should’ve cut the red tape and excessive regulation, and that would do way more good than instigating a trade war with the whole world wanna bring production back home? cut the manufacturers some slack

i wonder how splitting Ubisoft is going to save it from the toxic treadmill of trend chasing game dev slop, they’ve been on for pretty much a decade at this point any ideas?

those comics showing how the LLMs “perceive” their existence has serious “ghost in the machine” vibes

when I go to a 20-minute lunch in town I will be unlikely to leave a tip, because service is expected to be at a baseline however, when I go to a romantic dinner and I see staff taking good care of my and my partner, my wallet suddenly has an extra 15% but if I see a “20% service charge” on top of my food charge, I refuse to pay it, because it’s an insult to me as a customer. I want staff to be well compensated for their baseline service so that I don’t have to subsidize their wages with an optional service charge. it’s an insult to the staff, where the business owner doesn’t value their work in bringing people food enough to include them in the price of my meal if you think your staff’s work is worth 20% add it to the food and let me decide whether I think these prices are fair. otherwise, fuck off with this extortion racket

as far as I understand, tipping is about rewarding someone going beyond the baseline expectations of their job title a server who brings food and asks whether everything is okay with my meal is basic service. it’s included in the price of my meal. or am I supposed to go and fetch the meal myself? a server who can explain what I might like from the menu if I have no idea what to order, chimes in with chef’s specials, recommends an underrated wine I enjoy, and proactively ensures we’re not abandoned for 40 minutes when the kitchen is running behind… that’s going beyond baseline service, and that level of care and attention begs for a tip and repeat business the American-style culture of tipping is toxic, because tipping is expected. it creates a dysfunctional relationship between the customer, the staff, and the place of business. because of our biases, we all, on each side of this relationship, are unwilling to see the issue: tips are extras at the customer’s sole discretion

totally agree. it’s inevitable, and so we ought to find ways to prevent churn and burn from information overload well, we already do, just look at the work and the research body of Jonathan Haidt teaching our kids healthy coping strategies is definitely a step in the right direction

We’ve completely revamped the Ponder leaderboard to be more aligned with quality usage. Each prediction now has a difficulty score. You earn points for: 1. Any vote ⬆️ 2. Difficulty (+ up to a 3X multiplier) ⬆️ ⬆️ This will nerf those who only choose to vote on the easy ones, and boost those who take more risks and vote more 🫡

you say it like it’s a good thing there’s only so much we can process; above a certain threshold we induce instability, like overclocking a CPU that has insufficient cooling people outside of (or after) the tech bubble naturally (or purposefully) gravitate towards slow lives

Happy Sunday. I’d post the final result but we’ve devoured these delicious rib-eyes before I realized I might want to take a commemorative photo. 🥩 Obligatory half-pot of peppercorn sauce.
