Big tech companies don't really know what to do with 10x engineers. 1x engineers they manage out or warehouse until the next layoff, 1.5x engineers get promoted, but when they get a 10x engineer they try to make them into something different. Typically this means taking them away from hands-on engineering and trying to get them to do things that are more "high impact", such as engineering management or tech leadership. If they're not good at these things this frustrates everyone involved. If they are... well, they've probably traded a 10x engineer for a 1x manager or tech lead, which likely isn't a good trade.

Wow, you trust the Trump administrations values so much you want to pass those along to kids?

That's certainly a choice.

Most employees at big companies, including tech companies, don't innovate. They're not allowed to innovate, and if they try to do so they're told to keep working on their TPS reports or Jira tickets. Laying off such engineers won't reduce innovation at a big company.

The people big companies allow to innovate are either product/marketing types, or in tech companies people with titles like "principal" and "distinguished". Most of these people don't actually innovate either (and the innovation coming from the product/marketing types is usually bad), but occasionally you get people who can, and that's where all the innovation from big companies is.

If you want to innovate, become a founder. If you're at a big tech company, you can probably ask management and they'll tell you the same thing.

Thank you, National Education Association and American Federation of Teachers. But we've been hearing this song about underfunding for decades now and funding has gone up by massive amounts while education has not, in fact, gotten better.

This code was made available (if less than lawfully, nobody who matters complained) over ten years ago; I believe the conclusion of that story is here.

The thing about adopting evidence-based policy is that you also need to review and if necessary change policy when more evidence becomes available. The kind of situation you're describing would surely qualify.

Worth researching the history of vaccinations. The first polio vaccine, for instance, killed and maimed thousands of children, yet there was the government pressuring everyone to take it.

We eventually perfected it, yes, but all that means is we were experimenting on the public under the guise of "public health".

Well...ok. Then you see my point? Regardless of who abused it, it was always going to be abused, so advocating for the government to dictate medical interventions is a recipe for disaster in this day and age.

Probably any day and age, to be honest.

True, if you're concerned about diabetes, then you are 100% correct.

Otherwise...meh. Pasta is a good carb, particularly for those that do a lot of cardio or weights ( or both! ). And for the most part, you really can't eat too much fruit. I know I know, it has a ton of simple carbs, but it also has a ton of water and fiber. For a health, semi-active adult, fruit is fine.

Juiced is a different story, and I agree with that, but things like apple sauce ( as long as they contain the whole fruit ) are perfectly fine.

Karo is not HFCS , but yeah, lot of kitchens have hydrogenated oils (a.k.a "shortening", also "margarine"), artificial colors ("food coloring"), and flavors (vanillin probably is most common). HFCS would be unusual in a home kitchen, but "invert sugar" is less so and pretty much the same thing. Sucrose itself is already highly processed, it doesn't exactly come out of the beet as a white granular substance.

The UPF thing is woo, by people who should know better. At least the bro science people know they're bro science people. Or it's just a scam.

Pretty odd to complain about the Dutch being the US' bitch on an article on how they just bent over to the Chinese.

So because we did trust previous administrations, we should continue to trust them?

Poor logic, particularly in the face of today's nonsense.

Beef, chicken, eggs. Fruits, veggies, pasta.

It's relatively easy and tasty to eat healthy, and it's often cheaper too, even if you get the fancier cuts. Certainly when compared to the processed crap.

Call it whatever you will, GP is right; giving the gov that much power is asking for problems.

Maybe you trust this administration enough to be OK with it, but what about the next one? Or the one after that? The drug companies have deep deep pockets, how much do you trust their influence? Remember, they've already been busted a bunch of times killing/maiming people in pursuit of profit. The fact that anyone has any kind of positive association with them is a result of just how much money they can spend.

I found GP2.5 to be great at academic-style research and writing; it was absolutely awful at writing code. So; I would tell it to plan some thing for me and write it in a way that could be used by another agent (Claude Code) to build the code to do the thing. In this way, it has been great! I haven't yet attempted it with 3.

That said, I found GP3.0's page to be hilarious:

It demonstrates PhD-level reasoning with top scores on Humanityâ(TM)s Last Exam (37.5% without the usage of any tools) and GPQA Diamond (91.9%). It also sets a new standard for frontier models in mathematics, achieving a new state-of-the-art of 23.4% on MathArena Apex.

It then proceeds to show, lower down on the page, an example of what it can do, by showing off 'Our Family Recipes". If there's anything that touts PhD-level reasoning and writing, it's a recipe book.
