The vast majority of relationships don't work. That is absolutely not a good reason not to play.

It hurts but folks should be ante-ing anyways. And one of the only ways to make better experiences is with practice & experience. Don't deny that XP gain.
Have you even been on 4chan before? This isn't some nuanced "what actually is systemic bigotry?" question. "Ni**s and tra**s should all be burned alive and there should be bounties that pay for it" is not a subtle message. Yet it is a sentiment that is visible (and often verbatim) in every thread, and which receives supportive replies.
Good point, though I guess the point of the disagreement is then for me that the question's "dictionary words" implies to me an english dictionary, rather than an abstract dictionary of words of potentially infinite length
Hey, I worked through this same question for myself when deciding how to move from data analyst -> software engineer (all the way down to the same OSU program!) and decided that the tradeoffs were worth it. I had enough CS credits from my first degree that I was able to finish the program in one year, so that made the decision easier.

What you get from the program will depend on what you put in. The program itself is solid, but you'll definitely need to work on your own to become hireable - mainly leetcoding, real world projects, etc. I would highly suggest taking the more rigorous classes. There's an active slack that helped me to make friends, debug code, and workshop ideas.

All in all, it was worth it for me. It helped me get a job at Intel after graduation, so I guess it was a success.

I wrote a bit about my decision to do another degree on my blog, in case you're interested: https://mdrake.sh/blog/whats_next/

I'm also down to answer any questions about my experience in the program :)
color me skeptical. what are those large companies that are replacing devs with LLMs?
I've been single for all but 5 years of my adult (>20) life. After my 5-year relationship ended, I tried the dating scene for 2-3 years, but it's a lot of work for a gay introvert, and I decided that the effort-to-reward was not worth it for me personally and haven't dated for a long time.

Am I completely happy with this? No. But I don't know any couples who are completely happy either. For me, it's like 2 sides of the same coin: I'm happy most of the time, unhappy sometimes. And I think it would be the same if I was in a relationship.

A big difference is, if I notice I'm unhappy, usually lonesome, it's easy to fix by getting involved in some activity with friends, family or just by myself, like taking a walk outside. But when I was in a relationship, being unhappy, usually because of some relationship issue, was more like misery. And because this other person is part of the unhappiness, it's very difficult/impossible to solve on my own. We were living together, so it's not easy to ignore the issue: it's in your face all the time.

Another way I look at it is having a life with highs and lows vs a life that's more "even", without a lot of ups and downs. To some people, a life without highs and lows may be boring. Or, it can be viewed as basically content.

I do think there's a big difference between never having had a relationship of any kind, and having had one and deciding it's not your thing. Before I was in a relationship, I felt like an alien: everyone around me was dating or in a relationship and I had no idea what that was like. It made me feel defective and isolated from everyone, and I'm not sure that would have gotten better with time. So I'm glad I did get to experience love in a relationship, but as we were both pretty miserable by the end of it, I'm not sorry it ended. We are still friends and still talk/text occasionally.

Wow. This is way more useful than google. I popped in a query I have been trying to figure out for the last 20 minutes and this directed me right to the page I needed.
Nice! A tacit admission you have zero facts to back up your claim.
Somehow I don't think this is going to be a problem. I can't exactly articulate why, but I'm going to try.

The success of an LLM is quite subjective. We have metrics that try to quantitatively measure the performance of an LLM, but the "real" test are the users that the LLM does work for. Those users are ultimately human, even if there are layers and layers of LLMs collaborating under a human interface.

I think what ultimately matters is that the output is considered high quality by the end user. I don't think that it actually matters if an input is AI generated or human generated when training a model, as long as the LLM continues producing high quality results. I think implicit in your argument is that the _quality_ of the _training set_ is going to deteriorate due to LLM generated content. But:

1) I don't know how much quality of the input actually impacts the outcome. Almost certainly an entire corpus of noise isn't going to generate signal when passed through an LLM, but what an acceptable signal/noise ratio is seems to be an unanswered question.

2) AI generated content doesn't necessarily mean it is low quality content. In fact, if we find a high quality training set yields substantially better AI, I'd rather have a training set of 100% AI generated content that is human reviewed to be high quality vs. one that is 100% human generated content but unfiltered for quality.

I don't necessarily think this feedback loop, of LLM outputs feeding LLM inputs, is necessarily the problem people say it is. But might be wrong!

> Something about relationships or my partners slowly erodes them.

Simply put: fear of losing access to sex will make many men compromise a lot. There are other things that can contribute to this, such as "wanting her to be happy" being conflated with "she will only be happy if she gets her way".

I recommend you read No More Mr. Nice Guy and see if it rings any bells for you.

A strong commitment to boundaries doesn't do a lot for you if you capitulate every time.
Data is from the US Census which has a narrow view of relationships.

>Because they wanted to support a family man that was dedicated to providing a good living for his family, who also worked for him.

If you want to give someone money based on whether they deserve it, rather than in a market transaction based on the value of the goods they are selling, I'm pretty sure there are better charities around than "pick the nearest produce farmer".
Does that mean the Dunning-Krueger effect has no basis in truth?

I see these pictures and think "How did they possibly think black people's lips were that big??"

But here's a different take: this is a visual language, and non-realistic by definition. Nobody's nose is shaped like a finger, as in every one of these cartoons. No one's eyes are blank disks. Heads aren't that big and bellies aren't that round. Yet we all understand how to read these cartoons.

Maybe that's just how it was then too, and was just meant to convey "this is a black person." No ill will, no hate, no judgement.
It's categorically unfair, but everyone says it when the "teacher isn't looking": Tech companies are just riding the wave to get rid of low performers and troublemakers while they can. Signalling that you're part of that group (and I know it's unfair, I already said that) is unlikely to work to your advantage, in my view. It's a signal to the counterparty that they have leverage over you. It's going to attract people who want/need that leverage disproportionately. It probably will increase the raw number of contacts you make, but for the reasons above, I would avoid doing it until I crossed some threshold of "desperation".
Wow. I had no idea, I've been taking that for years. It's in every single OTC cold and flu medication with painkillers.

>No! What you have here is a bunch of confused girls that will do whatever tiktok influencers tell them to do. Do nothing and it'll pass in 99.99% of the cases.

The evidence does not support this claim. You're flat out making shit up to argue for denying treatment to people who untreated are at great risk of harm. However, it is right that it resolves for many. This is why puberty blockers are important as a means to minimise harm by reducing the risk either way by failing to accurately asses for whom it will resolve without transitioning.

What you're arguing for is an approach that maximises harm to one of the groups. It is then rather vile when you make this statement:

> How many people temporally confused by social contagion are you willing to sacrifice for each "real case" that you catch earlier? Where's your line? Ten, a hundred? A thousand? All of them?

You've set up a strawman, but you're the one who is willing to sacrifice - in your view 0.01%, but in reality far more - the wellbeing of those for whom it won't pass by arguing against harm reducing treatment.

What we know is that transitioning carries a lower risk of regret than almost all other kinds of cosmetic surgery, which is clear evidence that those who do go ahead with it have gone through a much more rigorous process before going ahead than the cosmetic surgeries pretty much nobody are arguing people shouldn't be able to consent to.

> Yeah, because the sunk cost fallacy develops only after puberty, or what? No. As you very well know, once they start on that road the identity kicks in and it's "who they are now".

Nothing to do with sunk cost, and that you bring it up suggests you're too ignorant to understand the issues.

No, we don't know that, because there's absolutely no evidence to support that. What we actually know is that for a significant number of people, dysphoria does resolve. Hence deferring irreversible changes is important.

At the same time, how very dare you want to tell people who by then are adults what is best for them? This kind of authoritarian, oppressive desire to force your view of what is best for other people on them, despite their wishes is a trait usually found in ideologies like fascism or nazism (fittingly, given the nazis destroyed the first institute focusing on helping trans people)

> Which is exactly what you want, a normal person comes in, an activist for life comes out. Who cares about the actual person, right?

It's exactly because I care about the person I don't want them oppressed by authoritarian people like you who want to strip them of agency over their own life.

It is good to have a place where people can exist as themselves and be exposed to different ideas. I would wager that most people who go there are far more accepting than the general population.

Very poor anecdotal evidence.

I know not a single person with Windows 11 Home, but I am not making swooping generalizations.
I do think it can be especially hard in this industry, being male-dominated, with less social interaction, and not masculine in any traditional sense. I think of careers as containers, or vases, that we eventually grow to fit. Some vases are particularly odd-shaped and hard for potential partners to evaluate.
I am a 30 year old gay man living in a city of 2 million. By now, to some degree at least, I personally know every single gay man that passes my requirements regarding socioeconomic status, personality and physical attractivity. It didn‘t work out because they didn‘t want me, I didn‘t want them or chatting with them was so uninspiring, we didn‘t even meet. But to answer your question more concretely, generally it didn‘t work out because my lack of physical attraction or the lack of the spark, the click, the compatibility in conversation.

I have literally played through the video games called Tinder and Grindr. I was on OkCupid and I had phases where I went out a lot.

The only chances I have are men leaving long term relationships or men that move here. Though dating anyone whose native language isn‘t German is frustrating to me, because others fluency and eloquence in English is usually even more limited than mine.

Desiring someone with abs and a penis that doesn‘t turn me off in the upper 20% income bracket, who is much more bottom than top, doesn‘t need my help to get stuff from shelves and has a sharp mind leaves me very little choice to begin with.

The one and only realistic thing to increase my chances would be to move to Switzerland or Germany, where I would get a whole new dating pool.

My difficult standards are out of my control and I really tried! My second partner was a great man, totally "marriage material", but his reluctance to turn his pear shaped dough body into a more chiseled form while at the same time enjoying my pornstar body ultimately made me resent him to the point where I ended things. I am either physically turned on by someone or not and loving them or not has absolutely nothing to do with it.

I cannot even use Google Photos in the same way that I use iCloud.

With iCloud I can set the system up to only retain low-resolution versions and only fetch high-quality when needed.

I can't do that with Google Photos. ANY app that requires me to open a photo opens up with the standard iOS photo viewer which does not allow anything. I can't even write an integration for iOS photos so I can browse my NAS, or Google Photos or DropBox or whatever.

> you’re assuming that people manage to stick it out at places like Meta even when there are morale problems and layoffs. It may be fair to assume promotions, but not everyone gets those promotions and we should hope that the people who don’t get promoted are still able to live their lives.

Facebook has up or out; I don't remember the timelines, but if our IC3 data scientist doesn't get promoted to IC4 and then IC5, they're not going to be there in 12.7 years, so we may as well go ahead and assume they will be promoted, since the analysis only applies if they are.

Recent Bank Failures and the Path Ahead
I'd wonder how many women this guy (and guys who relate to this post) are incidentally meeting every week.

When I was in my mid 20s after uni, it was basically zero. Just women at work, if even that.

If so, this is basically the result you can expect and nothing is going to change until you get those numbers up.

The common thread I see with guys not meeting women is almost never "I meet a lot of women but they never like me". It almost always cashes out into "oh yeah, I don't really meet women anyways." Yet they'll carry around this whole constellation of self-limiting beliefs as if they were living the former scenario.
I've been waiting for that kind of option for years. Decades even! But the reigning paradigm among all businesses these days seems to be subscription-based recurring revenue, so I'm not holding my breathe.
A few examples:

* My company has a very large codebase, and I am not familiar with 99% of it. I can use an AI assistant like Sourcegraph Cody to explain parts of the codebase to me at a high level, and suggest areas where I should dive in to address my specific problem.

* If I am working with a language, library, or framework I have not used before, I can ask ChatGPT to explain how a certain function works, and provide some code examples. If I write some code an get unexpected results, I can paste my code and results into ChatGPT, and ask it to tell me what went wrong.

* Someone sends me a spreadsheet that specifies some business logic, and I want to transform that spreadsheet into a YAML file, and write some code to parse the YAML config and take some action based on user-supplied data. ChatGPT is pretty good at this.

In all of these cases, I have to take the AI output with a grain of salt, and may have to do some supplementary research or debugging. But that's also the case when I ask coworkers for help. Right now, I would say generative AI provides a small boost to my productivity, but I can see that boost growing larger as language models improve.
Gaming is literally the only reason to own a Windows these days. The experience is genuinely miserable.
Just tried it with a PHP question regarding type safety, and it completely made up some lovely syntax I wish the language had, but doesn’t. It got lots of things right, but that one crucial detail wrong.

That makes it the same dangerous tool as ChatGPT that is useful to experienced coders, but utterly disastrous for newcomers.

I mean, this might have been the case when standards of medical practice were so bad that the homeopathic hospital was one of the safest places to be because whilst the medical care there was purely placebo, that was better than a doctor with unwashed hands attempting crude surgery.

But modern treatments are evaluated based on having demonstrable net positive effects above and beyond placebo.

1) Developer installs Google Tag Manager at the request of someone in marketing

2) Marketing department has free reign (via Google Tag Manager) to add arbitrary javascript on any page with Google Tag Manager installed. Namely tracking scripts, adwords conversions, retargeting pixels, or really any arbitrary javascript without limitation.

Edit: Google Tag Manager can also be used to inject scripts that aren't inherently bad, like a 3rd party support/chat widget (Zendesk, Intercom, etc)
T levels aren't everything, though. Get a full hormone panel. I got one and found my adrenals weren't producing enough DHEA.

Also note that HRT, and specifically testosterone supplementation may not address core issues. I was a candidate for test, but this would have allowed my adrenals to stay suppressed and ruined my balls.

The spread of the "ranged weapon"/"melee weapon" classification terminology from the roleplaying games world into writings on real-world anthropology and military history (without acknowledgement of the direction of the borrowing!) is a personal pet peeve.

Resist is a better word than prevent here.

I don't agree with this take - I joined mastodon with the best intentions and really wish I could have found my folks there. I did not want it to be like Twitter.

The challenge is that it's intentionally difficult to find your community on there unless you're invited in from an existing connection outside of Mastodon. I understand that's how some people want it - but blaming users for not understanding how to "learn a new way" in the first place IS hostile - whether you want to hear it or not.

Ultimately, doesn't matter. Mastodon will be what it will be, and folks like me will find something else that's a little more welcoming to people who aren't quite as my-tribe-only focused.
