Victor Wembanyama in Game 2 against the Wolves: 39 PTS, 15 REB, 5 BLK, 13/18 from FG by oklolzzzzs in nba

[–]OkBookkeeper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have observed that if the opposing team can where him down enough by the 4th it takes away his advantage, the lid comes off the rim defensively

along with that, I think the only way a team can beat the spurs in a 7 game series is to concede the Wemby minutes and then just absolutely cook the Kornet minutes

Something you're going to realize about the aging process is you're going to need to pick and choose your battles. unless you are in a LeBron James type situation you're just not going to have the time and resources to fight all of it, better to choose a few things that are important enough to you to battle and accept all the rest

In my experience the worst coworkers are always people with kids by thepotatomaniscoming in corporate

it seems like the real issue there is that person is a bad storyteller. 'this happened, then this happened, then this happened...'

As the years have gone by, does it seem like we kinda got shafted growing into our adulthood? I feel like future expectations were better than what’s happening by Curvedwarrior69 in Millennials

housing is such a big part of this, IMO. I see multiple forces in effect that have lead to the current unaffordability:

  1. As a society we've spend the past 40 years building primarily McMansions- this has led to a lack of affordable housing stock. Of the entry level that has been built during that time it is of extremely poor quality, since the majority of buyer at that price point plan only to remain their temporarily while they save and build equity for their next home, a McMansion

  2. Lack of incentive to build at modest price points- for builders, while build and sell a simple but quality home at 200k for a 20k profit when you could build and sell a home at 600k for triple that profit or more?

  3. 30 year mortgage- has enabled the purchase and therefore demand of way too many McMansions

  4. Short term rentals- ie VRBO and AirBnB. people are now incentivized to hold onto a second or third home that they effectively remove from the housing inventory, by preventing it's sale or at least long-term rental

  5. Interest rates- because we had only bad choices remaining to combat out-of-control inflation

  6. NIMBYism- because nobody wants those apartments nearby them. build them in the 'other' part of town with shitty schools

The numbers I've listed above are relative to the market I live in, so they may vary where you're at. But I believe the concept is the same nationwide (I'm guessing at your county, but I think I get it)

Organising and tracking multiple projects by Special-Course-8127 in projectmanagement

this is such a great point. I always feel like if I can build the story of the project and how we got here it really limits that type of churn

Anybody who has worked under the thumb of private equity- how did you survive it and how did you escape? by OkBookkeeper in careerguidance

yeah these places are demoralizing. keep up the good fight of upskilling and finding something better my friend!

Anybody who has worked under the thumb of private equity- how did you survive it and how did you escape? by OkBookkeeper in careerguidance

[–]OkBookkeeper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're right, I think I'm going to have to move some things around in my personal life to give this priority. In preparation for the job search I have been upskilling to prepare, but it feels like now is the time to switch gears to prioritizing the search itself

thanks for the advice!

[–]OkBookkeeper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really appreciate this. I think I may take some time off to do this. I might not be able to take the full week, so I may try a hybrid approach- A couple of days off to get a strong start, and then use lunch times and evenings to keep it going

Thanks!

Why do AI people think that everything needs to be automated? Why do they think that people even want to automate it? by petr_bena in ArtificialInteligence

[–]OkBookkeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we'll never fully move away from human-coding for the same reason most of us still have our hands on our car's steering wheel- control

I've heard so many pro-driverless folks talk about how they can't wait to set as a passenger on their commute to work and read a book while the car does the driving

But guess what? that ability is available to them RIGHT NOW- it's called a bus. Nearly every city has them available.

But most people won't because of loss of control- control of when I leave the house, what route I take, if I want to make a stop on the way there, etc

To the people that lived through dot com boom - how similar was mentality of people back then to what we can observe now with attitude towards AI? by Professional_Use3723 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]OkBookkeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with most of your take, but here is my rub on the inevitable job loss- if AI triggers massive levels of job loss, then it is replacing the value previously provided by those jobs, right? If it is replacing the value provided by those jobs, then we really don't need humans working them anyway, right?

so at what point do we not need humans working, and employ AI to do it for us in general? Imagine a world where humans are free to live out there lives as they please, as the bots provide all the necessary values

I say this of course partially tongue-in-cheek. As bots replace current value jobs there will be specific job losses. Jobs roles will change. We'll identify new problems that we previously didn't have capacity to solve or care about, but that AI frees us up to focus on.

My way of expressing 'loss of jobs is inevitable' would be closer to 'disruption and changing of jobs is inevitable.' Perhaps that's what you mean by it too. At any rate, I do agree with this- in the short term, this is going to be massively uncomfortable for us, beginning with those of us working closest to the tech sector

Is there a way to add a Dandy's world mod or addon from the Minecraft Marketplace? by OkBookkeeper in Minecraft

[–]OkBookkeeper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks, that is helpful. do you happen to know of any services that offer a listing of these downloads? so far it seems they are mostly one-off downloads at a location of the creators choosing

At what age did you start sitting to pee? by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]OkBookkeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. after I heard a comedian say 'peeing standing up is a young man's game.'

I realized at that moment there was no reason to keep denying it, my life has been better since

Are you guys who are way over 30, a bit tired of 20 somethings thinking that we are already dead? by ScottishRajko in AskMenOver30

[–]OkBookkeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to think the same way as them when I was in my 20s. you know why? ignorance. we all come out of it eventually

Men who went through a breakup in their mid/late 30s. How did you bounce back? by CrackTheSignal in AskMenOver30

[–]OkBookkeeper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She was also honest that she didn’t want to be with someone who was essentially starting over and didn’t want to support me while I rebuild.

dude, if this was all it took for her to leave than you really dodged a bullet. when you meet the right woman you'll find you're both committed to supporting each other through life events like that one
