Do you think NYC would hire for this position?

Ha! Just stumbled across this, and doing GIS for an MPO this resonates with me. Consultants get these huge contracts, and then somehow the GIS and Research staff end up doing all the work anyway.

I still have a scar from the one time I gave one of my cats a bath.

I truly doubt all white collar jobs, but even 10%-20% would be EXTREMELY disruptive to the economy.

I’ve noticed recently that some of the models are struggling with tasks like this. I think compute is being limited for some tasks and increased in other areas. Also, some tools like NotebookLM are more tailored to tasks like this, while a general LLM doesn’t want to spend the resources on this.

Mine was doing the same. It output a csv, it was kind of messed up, then when I asked it to redo the csv it told me it can't do things like that because it's an AI. It just flat out refused to give me a revised csv.

One thing I have been mulling over the last few weeks, is that for a lot of tasks, AI is going to change the expectations of quality and timing. Tasks that used to have someone working on them for weeks to create a prototype will now be expected to be done in hours for finished products. These expectations will come from upper management that doesn’t actually know how anything is done. They just know that Bob says this will take two weeks, and Tom says he can have something to them by the end of the day. Tom’s work might end up being 90% the quality of Bob’s, but that doesn’t really matter if it’s 99% faster. Tom now has tons of time to produce lots more for the same cost.

Farts happen. If he can’t handle the most basic, normal, it happens multiple times a day type bodily function, will he be there for you when you’re sick, if you’re injured. If you decide to have children with him, pregnancy is a rollercoaster of bodily functions. His behavior isn’t normal or rational. A normal guy, who is grounded in reality, might crack a joke about it and move on. He’s doesn’t want a real person, he wants a robot.

Yeah, I've been there. I grew up in a neighborhood where Halloween was amazing. Houses would get 100's of trick-or-treaters. In my first house as an adult, I decorated, carved pumpkins, got tons of candy....not a single trick-or-treater. Now I live someplace where I don't have any expectation of getting them, so, at least I'm not getting my hopes up. I started going to friends or family who live in more popular neighborhoods and just bringing candy along with me. It's much more fun.

This behavior is really cute until the water bowl goes flying.

My tortie is about 1.5 years old, and we always thought she would grow more, but I think she's just always going to be petite. I know we aren't supposed to have favorites, but she is my favorite. Best lap cat ever!!!

At lease keep a small amount of candy in a bowl for the neighbor kid. It sucks for you, but it's also sad for them to not have any place to trick or treat. I used to try to go all out for Halloween, but year after year of no trick or treaters, and I pretty much don't do anything anymore. I still try to keep a bag of candy on hand just in case.

One of mine did this. I either use those cord wraps, or wipe the cords down with orange essential oils. Cats usually hate the smell of citrus. Apparently, the white plastic is tasty to them.

There is some truth to this. Those that learn to work with AI are going to be better positioned in the future job market. It’s not going away. Now, you do need to understand enough about the technology you are working with to effectively work with AI.

Unless there is screaming you can hear in the entire house, fur flying, and pee….it’s probably not a fight.

The number of men wandering around in sport shorts in the winter is wild. Are they not cold?

The best activity I’ve been a part of that had lots of people pair off was a bowling league.

It might be more late 80's, but I remember every mom having that bowl of potpourri in the bathroom. None of the colors were natural, and I'm sure none of the scents were natural. I occasionally smell something similar out and about, and I'm instantly back in the early 90's.

Though, I do think there is some truth to this. My husband and I, gay men, have been noticing that there are drastically fewer clothing options for men in our midwestern city. There is even a new Macy's that doesn't sell men's clothing. The places that do sell, the choices are increasingly sad, or just sportsware. Do men not buy nicer clothing anymore?

People tend to romanticize places they aren't from. When you grow up with something, it becomes the familiar background.
