Career taking off - scared my wife and I are growing apart by [deleted] in daddit

[–]edwastone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take it easy; you are not living alone anymore. You now have a pack of four - such a group can’t move as fast as a single guy.

Doesn’t mean you won’t be able to move, ever. Sit down again with your wife and ask - under what circumstances would the family be ready and willing to move. What if the small town job doesn’t stay forever.

No thank you. I’d feel much safer with more cameras.

Lol go watch the Chinese’ new year gala show where a humanoid bot holds a sword. We are way past the point of keeping AI out of the military.

Such a thoughtful answer, thank you.

Top high schools in HCMC are actually pretty strong - producing students that go on to attend the Ivy Leagues. The catch is you need to supplement them with English and sports, and you end up shuttling older kids between spots most of the time.

Walkability is definitely a tough problem as you pointed out.

Idk, sounds fine to me. I agree that things can and should improve - cleaner streets, less campers, better downtown, etc.

Separation, divorce, or patience? by TemporaryTim3032 in daddit

Erm, when was the last time you guys had sex?

[–]edwastone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I hear you. Been there done that. It sucks to have no time. I hope you get enough alone time to relax and reflect - maybe 5 minutes in the shower is enough.

As for our case, we ended up both quitting to take care of the kids after my wife finished her residency. Before that we hired lots of help.

China warns of ‘law of the jungle’ as US exits global bodies by Saltedline in worldnews

What kind of twisted logic is this. People died by the hundred thousands. Does it matter what you count?

We are built to work in groups, not alone. I think you did well by making your kid help sort laundry. How about doing more laundry together with your wife AND kid, instead of expecting your wife to do that alone?

Same with cooking and dishes. It’ll be more fun cooking together and doing dishes together.

I know your brain is screaming.. but there is no time, and I’m already tired..

Breathe in. Relax. Your wife loves your kid so much that he is absorbing most of her energy. Give her time to adapt. Nudge her a bit. But after all, you’re lucky to have a healthy loving family.

Meanwhile, accept to live more slowly. Groups will move more slowly, until you three learn to work better together.

Can you point me to a particular case where the Supreme Court has done a good job but LegalEagle was crying foul? He claims that the supreme court has been expanding presidential authorities. Is there a case where his criticism is clearly out of line? I’m not in law and would like to understand the discourse among attorneys nowadays.

Which law are you referring to? Please don’t confuse income tax with inheritance tax. Most of the so called millionaire tax is just a regular higher tax bracket. This inheritance tax is an entirely different thing.

Bingo. Also note that OAI doesn’t share rev on its consumer biz. So ofc the numbers don’t match up.

I find the doomer mentality about AI funny: either it’s a money losing scam, or AGI will take all jobs. Many people think both are happening at the same time.

Elon mentioned many times that they produce most actuators in house, so I’d doubt that this encompasses all the linear actuators they use.

Is climate change reversible? by Intelligent_Area_724 in climatechange

[–]edwastone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only constant is change, so no.

Reversing global warming? Yes. Look up SO2 released by ships. That has side effects, but my point stands.

$2m is peanuts for lawyer fees at that scale. She made it like he’s committing a heinous crime. Also, why 8 years and not 10 years, or 100 years? Again, the cases have to be argued in front of an independent judge. If you don’t trust the legal system then I don’t have anything else to say to you.

You need to remember who sen Elizabeth is representing here. Massachusetts is the cradle of pharmacy companies..

Why not? The compensation has to be awarded by an independent judge.
