  • Are you happy? Is the vibe nice? Are people friendly? Are you being paid a fair amount or can you get more at an other job? Do they respect your private life, are they stressing you out? How is the commute?

    There are other things to consider then industry best practices. You might very well end up in a place that treats you like shit, is much farther and let’s you go the moment they don’t need you.


  • I overpressure myself, as if I was constipated, each time I get cravings. I basically make my body as uncomfortable as I can so it learns that cravings=pain.

    In the past, I’ve used hand rolled tobacco to ween myself off. It’s a lot harder to just grab a smoke when driving for instance. But cold turkey is best. I usually wait until I get sick before starting stopping since it tends to skip the nasty craving in the first few days. After a week or two, it gets much easier.

    Remember, having a smoke every now and then will work until it doesn’t.












  • These important limitations highlight why it’s still important to have humans involved in the analysis process here. The NYT notes that, after querying its LLMs to help identify “topics of interest” and “recurring themes,” its reporters “then manually reviewed each passage and used our own judgment to determine the meaning and relevance of each clip… Every quote and video clip from the meetings in this article was checked against the original recording to ensure it was accurate, correctly represented the speaker’s meaning and fairly represented the context in which it was said.”

    It’s literally the paragraph right after.

    They verify it.
