I work in IT for a Fortune 500 org.

We use LLMs to improve worker efficiency. There is a ton of taking info from here and there and entering it into our system. AI took the workload from humans doing data entry and freed the humans up to do less tedious things.

I don’t skip intros. It sets the tone for what is about to come.

Is an algorithm not a formula?

Is it really any different than when the formula did it?

When Apple launched their credit card it was super biased against applicants with female names. They blamed it on the formula.

Ai is just the newest fancy word for programming.

Taco Bell doesn’t deserve the hate it gets

I knew a health inspector. He commented that guaranteed the cleanest restaurant kitchen in every town was a taco bell. Apparently they aggressively train employees and managers to clean way more than other restaurants.

My wife was very offended when I started doing this 3-4 years ago from learning about it in /r/CalvinandHobbs

Needless to say, I no longer do that.

I’m no doctor, but I’m told dehydration causes vision problems. As your said, eyeballs are balls of liquid. When you’re dehydrated they don’t work right.

Amazon was never able to honor the next day or even two day shipping

I used to travel a lot for work and needed deliveries on specific days. Amazon guaranteed delivery days were crap.

I know a guy who actually got an official response from Amazon about that. Their response was “We guarantee 2 day shipping once the items are shipped. We may not start shipping for a day or two depending on how busy we are.”

The fact they’re still running on dos is a clue that either they can’t figure out how to upgrade or they don’t want to upgrade or they simply won’t allocate the budget to upgrade.

It generally boils down to money. Shops like that are toxic. They somehow don’t have the budget to keep their business afloat, means you’re not getting a raise.

If you take this job, you’re obsolete. Getting the next job will be tough. You’re interview at the next potential role what did you do at your current role? I ran dos on 30 year old machines. Interviewer: I’m sorry, but we need someone with experience in Windows ME.

As in part off his pension is free coal for life?

Delta is primarily an Airbus fleet. They do not currently fly any 737 MAX planes, though they have ordered 100 Max 10s for delivery starting in 2025.

I’ll assume they’re being pressured into it by the significant fuel savings the max offers over their current fleet.

Or, if are willing to fly any of the big 3’s regional brands it’ll be on a regional jet which Boeing doesn’t make. Generally those are made by Bombardier or less commonly Embraer. Though, bigger plane means smoother flight.

The article talked a lot about school buses in rural areas. Mass Transit isn’t a thing in most rural areas.

In urban cities, yes that’s a feasible idea. Most people in the USA live in places where mass transit isn’t feasible.

We are a nation of car drivers who bought into the dream of having a house on a large lot in the suburbs. Mass Transit exists, but in the burb it’s generally a parking lot where you take a bus to your job downtown.

I’m literally not buying a Tesla because he’s a douchbag.

When I see a Tesla on the road I assume they are a Musk fan boy. There’s no prestige in that brand. There are a lot of us that assume that.

Stew so potatoes, carrots, onion.

If you want to lean into the stronger flavors parsnips or leeks.

I’ve made stew from wild game before. It always comes out really gamey. I eat game, but I usually stick to the grill with it. The entire stew picks up on the game flavor, which I’m not keen on.

So now you can get 5.1G or 4.9G?

2 flaws I see.

All countries have a gentleman agreement not to launch nuclear material into space. If the launch failed, it’d be catrostrophic for people here in earth.

It’s really expensive to launch stuff into space, getting stuff out of the earths orbit is another level of power beyond getting it above the atmosphere.

I’m more worried about it going into another skyscraper.

A decade ago, my pilot friend informed me that after 4 years of college, starting pay was $18,000 a year. After a year of experience suddenly you’re making 4 times that. Not a lot of people can afford to make that measley income for a year. It’s not a sustainable way to recruit talent.

Then there’s the issue is being on call when you’re the lowest seniority in you’re position where they can call you anytime a pilot calls in sick and you have to be at the airport in 30 minutes.

You can make a lot of money, but there’s a lot of bullshit to deal with at the start of your career.

Bring comfortable noise cancelling headphones.

I like audio books. Many people like movies. It’s something to focus on that isn’t flying.

Seats closer to the middle of the plane have the smoothest flight. Middle if the plane as in both over the wing and aisle.

Turbulence, a pilot friend explained it just as a boat encounters waves, a plane encounters bumps in the air. It’s nothing to worry about.

If you find it, please let me know. I looked around and struck out. It sounds so odd, is like to try it. Perhaps bring it camping to compare its flavor to a forest’s!
