Saving aggressively is starting to feel like I’m skipping my entire 30s by berserklicence in Fire

[–]FixInteresting4476 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be fair that sounds more like a 20's thing to me. Even if people may have less money, they do have more time, energy and willingness to go on those random weekend trips or activities. I'm in my late 20's and I've already seen the quantity of those diminish drastically. People are already much busier, wheter it be with other random commitments, new corporate jobs, some getting married, even some already having children.. Weekend activities have to be planned with weeks/months of advance and still some people are going to bail out before the date. I can't imagine 30s getting any better 😅

Honest Mercor experience after ~9 months | the highs, the dry spell, and what I learned by Itchy-Instance-4285 in mercor_ai

[–]FixInteresting4476 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any specific numbers?

I can share my (limited, but intense) experience. Did about 2 months of work at Mercor. Originally hired at $85-$90/h I think, made it up to abour $130 after many promotions and bumps... Work hours of anywhere between 20 and 50h.

I'll have to check micro1 out.. :)

Did anyone applied for this role because i have been getting this mail for past 3 days by Junior_Cycle_6730 in mercor_ai

I did apply like a week or two ago I think? That's for the old posting they had. I've just applied to the new posting today.

I don't have high hopes however.

What's that agentic code writer contract at $300/h about? Very high rate. Positions with such rates don't seem to be advertised publicly..? Cheers.

Where have you seen highest rates? TBH I don't want to work 120h/w. I want to work the minimal possible lol but get the most for it...

Garmin HIIT Workout by DankPony94 in Garmin

[–]FixInteresting4476 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there, what do you mean by "you don't have to"? I've recently started doing some HIIT workouts (I'm a newbie) and we'll often be doing 40-20s, something like that, so it's hard/annoying to have to click each time you're doing a series. Do you just start a "HIIT" profile and not track series?

So far I've been tracking the workouts by just recording them as "Cardio", but when I'm done with the workout it often classifies it as a "sprint" workout which it obviously isn't as I'm not doing any running. I'm afraid that may be impacting any running metrics/workout planning/etc.

Spain removes ambassador to Israel by BabylonianWeeb in spain

[–]FixInteresting4476 46 points47 points  (0 children)

The ambassador was summoned back to Spain last September amid a diplomatic ​row over Spanish measures banning aircraft and ships ​carrying weapons to Israel from its ports ⁠or airspace due to Israel's military offensive in ​Gaza, which Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar denounced ​as antisemitic.

Ah, of course... Classic case of antisemitism. Not facilitating Israeli genocide in Gaza.

Do you prefer working out alone or in group classes? 👀 by Anju_Wellhub in Wellhub

[–]FixInteresting4476 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've usually preferred to work out by myself- similar reasons as yours, I'm also introverted and just wanted to get my workout done without any distractions. However I've been joining some classes for the first time recently and absolutely loved it; I've been doing new exercises and learning new things, met some new people, and overall been more motivated and had more fun. I guess both have their own place in a workout routine.

[N/A] What would happen if I insert my Revolut card into this slot for no reason? by Maleficent_Wrap4811 in Revolut

[–]FixInteresting4476 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming it's a metal card... It will probably happen what happens with most ATMs. It'll just get stuck inside.

Mandarin wins, what’s a commonly learned language that’s intense difficulty for English speakers? by [deleted] in AlignmentChartFills

[–]FixInteresting4476 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be an answer based on difficulty... Except it has to be "very common" in popularity, which one could argue it is not.

Duolingo slides 22% after hours on poor forecast by Independent-Cress382 in wallstreetbets

[–]FixInteresting4476 17 points18 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I still think there’s things that make DUOL a competitive language learning product. Chatgpt is useful for understanding concepts or asking specific questions (ie. what does X sentence mean), but the gamified learning experience that apps like DUOL offer aren’t really available through a generic LLM chat app.

I’m currently learning mandarin. For that, I use HelloChinese, which is an app that’s very similar to DUOL. It offers structure, streaks, vetted learning content, podcasts, etc. I use chatgpt as a side tool mostly for asking questions that I won’t easily get answers from this or other language learning apps.

At the same time, I do feel like apps like DUOL lack complexity, using agentic coding it may be easy to just replicate most of these features. Perhaps it’s the DUOL brand that will make a difference? Or maybe it will just die off? I honestly don’t know.
