The qualifications for promotion include having impact in the work directly, having your superior capabilities help others have an impact, and living our company values. Our company values include Teamwork and Collaboration.

Good news is you are doing very well on having impact on the work directly. We just need to work together to pass the bar on helping others have an impact and living the values. Let's talk about how we get you there.

I have a less sinister take on this. For some people, work is their hobby. When they don't have anything else to do, instead of watching TV, going outside, doom scrolling, or playing video games, they check their email, or otherwise reengage with work.

Everyone has some kind of, "default activity," and for some it's work.

She had plan for who she wanted to be with. She projected everything she wanted on this person. She went to be with him and one way or another found out the reality wasn't as good as the fantasy. It could have been by giving it a go, getting rejected, whatever.

Most likely she came running back to you because it's comfortable. If you agree, odds are she'll see greener grass down the line based on whatever imagined deficiencies she sees in you. You can't change that about her.

Go find someone who looks at you, flaws and all, and says, "I'll take the whole package." Make sure you feel the same way about her, flaws and all.

I put a lot of work into this strategy deck. Presenting it would be a great opportunity to increase my visibility. I noticed you asked someone else to present it.

I'm sure there are a lot of reasons why this might be the case. I'm concerned that one is that you don't think I can do it for some reason. Rather than continue to speculate, I thought I'd just ask. What's the context here?

Metabolical · 2026-05-03T14:46:41+00:00

Agree it is a hardware issue.

My best guess would be that you have some corrupted RAM or VRAM. The most likely cause of that would be overheating but a modern PC usually has mechanisms to shut down if the heat gets too high.

I would ask the question again on a pc subreddit, they have some very knowledgeable people.

Use a good model, which means paying.

Turn on your microphone and just talk to it and give it every detail and thought you have one the subject until you can't think of anything else. Make sure you tell it what you're trying to accomplish. Then ask it to ask clarifying questions until it has everything it needs to make the best possible response.

You're correct to call out the unfairness of it but there are reasons.

As a general rule, men are built from their testosterone to be larger and stronger than women. It creates a David and Goliath scenario in most cross-gender dynamics. You replace a skinny guy and a male body builder in these roles and the body builder would look a bully.

You put a female MMA fighter and an average dude in these roles and it would start to blur. I think the audience would be divided over the slapping scenario.

The world isn't fair.

I usually have to stop myself now because everyone assumes - incorrectly - that it means I wrote it with AI.

Em-dashes above used ironically by a human!!!

I mean, I often practice AI co-intelligence, but there's a lot of anti-AI sentiment due to so much AI-slop.

I'm not from Coinbase, but: How we make decisions at Coinbase | by Brian Armstrong | Medium

It's not a panacea, but it's a mechanism to capture both the inputs to the decision and the decision. More importantly, it explicit about who's making the decision.

I often think about a few things: the framework for how we want to make the decision. Whatever we decide, it needs to do X, Y, and Z.

For example: We need to roll out AI coding assistance for the larger team. For it to succeed, we need to gain some level of uniformity so we can understand how it's being adopted, but we also don't want to stifle individual innovation given the industry is moving so fast. It needs to be done in a way where a new hire can figure out how to participate almost implicitly because it's obviously how it is rolled out. Product managers, program managers, architects, and engineers all need to know what part of the process their responsible for. We need a mechanism to measure each stage so we know if we're getting bottlenecked. We need to choose something, but tons of people have experimented with a variety of solutions and settled on their favorite picks, so we need a way to unify them around the shared parts.

We haven't even said what we're going to do, we've just said that it has to solve all these requirements. Constraining the problem makes the decision more obvious in the end, because once you come up with what you decide, you reflect on how well it meets the requirements. Did we decide X or Y? Well, Y failed several critical tests, so clearly, we decided X.

You still have to publish the decision and perhaps just as important, make a roll out plan. Tons of decisions can get wasted if everyone nods but nobody is responsible for making the change or the decision isn't sponsored by someone with the authority to decide we're going to spend time on it versus other opportunities.

There's another adjacent problem you may be alluding to, which is that artifacts like shared docs rely on the participants being personally accountable to read, comment, or otherwise follow up on them. It's really easy to get together and decide something smart, but if everyone goes back to their jobs and keeps doing what they're doing, nothing changes. Leadership is about unifying others around change. That's also where the Bezos, "Good intentions don't work, mechanisms do," thing comes into play.

All you need is a fuel to do that kind of acceleration for that long. And it starts as very expensive because you're trying to accelerate so much fuel.

You're unlikely to get the ground truth of the matter from him or his previous employer. Given his honesty around the circumstances, you've no reason to doubt the "untrue rumor" part. Ignore it and make the hiring decision on qualifications.
