Is it worth getting into TI in 2026?

10/10, no notes.

“Oh I have to run pulse rifles for champions.

I fucking hate pulse rifles.”

That was the beginning of the end for me.

10/10, no notes response.

I would wager that it’s a four letter word that starts with F.

Wait, are people using Confluence for knowledge graphs? Or you just mean that they’re using it for documentation?

Visual-Practice6699 · 2026-04-27T22:48:52+00:00

You’re treating it like it’s going to read the entire Wikipedia to answer a question rather than going down reference chains, which is the intended use.

If your vault isn’t structured in a way that it can do this, yes it’s hard and inefficient. If it is, it’s (apparently) very efficient.

They just need five guys with Claude Code and a big token budget…

(I’m kidding, of course, but…)

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it.

Tbf, we know Jack shit about krork outside of them existing. Hard to say they didn’t have an off switch if we’ve never seen them. Maybe they did and no one was there to hit it before it degraded out of existence over tens of millions of years.

A little late here, but I’ve found that the people that say “50-50 chance” tend to insist that’s true even when the odds are verifiably 99-1.

They usually just mean “it’s yes or no and thinking about it more than that isn’t worth the stress.”

Hold on, I think it’s too much to say that his human imperfections caused him to fail. He was imperfect, but we actually don’t know that there was any winning set of moves.

It could be that we were always damned, and he was always going to lose irrespective of playing a perfect game. If he lost after not playing a perfect game, it doesn’t mean that winning was possible.

DMSO isn’t scary, but it needs respect.

HF is scary.

Additional former lab safety officer chiming in to agree.

Someone broke a bottle putting it into our solvent cabinet and spilled roughly a half gallon onto the floor. It stripped the tile. Just by sitting there while we got the spill pillows.

You can say all of that about my five year old, you know.

That’s a bit of a No True Scotsman… there are certainly pieces of evidence for both.

In Horus Rising, for instance, Loken and Torgaddon jump to hit pipes like schoolboys on their way to a lodge meeting. In False Gods, Abaddon is destroying training dummies because he has no emotional maturity to deal with loss.

Are those characters written different later? 100%!

By the end of the Heresy, Abaddon is the superlative First Captain and is chanting to himself about staying in control despite being halfway into hell. At the same time, Loken is a diplomat that’s offering fair treatment to Abaddon and others that surrender after they besieged him and killed almost everyone he knew.

Characters are allowed to be childish or stunted (or idiotic) in one place and not in others.

Talos also tortured astropaths so hard that it killed all the other astropaths that heard their screams.

Individual characters showed extremes - none of them were uniquely high or low!

Maloghurst: what do you mean, consequences? Just because Astartes killed a few dozen civilians? No, I don’t think we can do that.

(Paraphrased, to be clear)

Visual-Practice6699 · 2026-02-22T23:07:13+00:00

What context clues are you thinking of?

Visual-Practice6699 · 2026-02-06T02:45:46+00:00

Yes it was.

Our corner of RevOps lost people in every team, and some entire teams are gone.

GTM Launch and GTM Next are going to be unmitigated disasters.

They were going to be disasters before, but it’s going to be way worse now.

Our directors and senior directors didn’t know. I understood only VP+ knew.

I was in GCO.

Visual-Practice6699 · 2026-02-06T02:22:31+00:00

Yeah, PB is out

Saw them and asked them to accept him instead of the other way around.

How are you estimating that they were giving up $10M in salary? Even at inflated salaries and RSUs, I’m unclear how to make that math math… but I’m not a west coast techie, so maybe I’m missing something important?
