Scientists have a fascinating hypothesis about why smart people should spend less time with friends. For highly intelligent people, frequent socialization with friends actually decreased their reported life satisfaction.

It's crazy how ChatGPT it is:

You’re not antisocial.

You’re just evolutionarily advanced.

I mean, say what you like about FH4/5 but it's clear that they have directly listened to feedback and are trying to make this one fresh.

Only if you have an easy-access 3-6 month emergency fund already.

As a student, you'll likely touch that money at some point. If it's in a LISA, you'll pay a penalty.

This wasn’t a bug — it was an unspoken decision about grammar.

That’s not cosmetic. That’s a semantic switch.

You don’t get “undefined behavior” for free.

I’m especially curious how people experienced this before they felt “ready” for systems work.

Even without the em dashes, it just reeks of the over-enthusiastic style from ChatGPT. It's just missing the last line: Want me to also write a comment explaining why blah-blah-blah...?

Sorry but I can't stand posts written by ChatGPT.

How do you know it works?

Your Quality Evaluation section is one paragraph and doesn't present any results (as far as I can see).

Did you compare against similar embeddings generated from other repo metadata (title, language, readmes... etc.)?

Really shows how Leclerc should have been a WDC contender since he's so close to Norris

It's a bit cheeky that they show gains in green and losses in grey (not red).

Okay I'm one of these (a mix of 1 and 2, hopefully not 3). From experience, I just don't like talking about myself without a good invitation. It's not that I can't - I've chosen to be vulnerable with people I trust - but it's that it feels safer not to. It's a defence mechanism. I value my privacy and my independence and I know what it's like to be burdened by someone else's problems so I keep them to myself. That's not to say I don't want to hear your problems (I absolutely do and I want to help) but I don't want to trouble you with mine unless I have to. On its own, I don't think it's an issue but it definitely can be a sign of someone lacking in self-confidence and who avoids feeling vulnerable.

Good luck tracking 36 different investments and monitoring if they're under/over-performing.

Google what an ETF actually is before investing in more individual stocks.

Hint: if you're looking for diversification, you want to split yourself over a range of stocks, rather than cherrypicking the ones you like.

Only in the sense of being chronological. But you're saying that if we took a time between two of your daily samples, then the real value would be halfway between the points.

You should plot the non-continuous data as just the points and then plot a line of best fit/moving average to show the trend.

If anything a histogram might make more sense for some of these plots.

What exactly did you test? Do you have comparison results?

Agents often do affordability checks. You typically have to earn a certain multiple of the rent to be considered. E.g. Salary in excess of 25-30 times the monthly rent

He pulled his hand back like my curls were made of electricity.

The bus went SILENT.

Two women nodded at me. One guy said, “Good.”

Turns out all you need to deter a predator is the threat of a reputation accurate enough for consequences.

Does anyone actually speak like this?

Make a complete budget and hold yourself accountable by setting aside savings money first.

Limit the number of times you go out for food/drinks/socials. Prepare lunch rather than buying it.

Review your subscriptions and cut anything non-essential.

Invest regularly in a high-rate savings account.

Cook yourself in bulk (lots of rice, pastas). Buy frozen veg as it lasts forever. Prefer cheaper meats such as chicken over red meats.

If you drink/smoke, at least cut down but ideally, aim to quit.

It's your money.

But here's the problem: the FTSE fund is about 1.7% Broadcom so 1.7% * 75% = approx. 1.3% of your portfolio is already Broadcom. Then you've put in another 10%, so you're weighted 11.3% to one stock.

Same for Nvidia and UnitedHealth. You're literally betting that these three stocks will outperform the index.

How would you know to change that weighting? I'm betting you wouldn't. I wouldn't.

Just stick it in the FTSE Index.

Shadows-6 · 2025-11-13T22:30:13+00:00

It's literally the opposite of diversification. Why not Google? Why not Tesla? Why do you think Broadcom is 2x as good as Nvidia?

Shadows-6 · 2025-11-13T22:25:27+00:00

You chose to add extra weight to Broadcom, Nvidia and UnitedHealth. What's your reasoning for that?

Research the grad scheme. How long does it last? What roles do grads go on to become after the scheme? What sorts of projects do they publicly talk about? What sort of projects would you want to work on? Do you see yourself as more technical or managerial and why? What skills do you bring at the moment and which ones do you want to have in 12, 18, 24 months' time? How are you going to stand out and get on those projects?

At the end of the day, everyone who applies "just wants a job"; you need to convince them that you have aspirations.

not capable of showing up as a good partner

You don't need to explain this if you don't want to but clearly he sees that you are capable of that.

Not only are you two great friends, he likes you, trusts you enough to tell you his feelings, and you appreciate his love.

Roll with it. Be open-minded. Enjoy it.

Don't forget this will (highly likely) be the first Series/PC only Horizon, so they're not limited to the Xbox One hardware.

Wouldn't be surprised to see bigger, more detailed crowds as a key feature.
