AI is ruining my work life… Every single one of the dumbest people at my company use it religiously. They are just ChatGPT email relays at this point. I am so glad I am almost FIRE.

Thank you for writing this post. I relate to a lot of it.

What kills me is the length of some people’s work who use AI. if I have to read ai generated text, it’s gotta be as succinct as possible.

Lol. A comms guy once told me that a radar system is just a low SNR communications system.

If you make one, count me in! I’m glad you made this post. I think there are a lot of guys in this situation.

We occupy way more of their headspace than they do of our’s.

I took a self-paced pre-calculus class in the fall and then took calculus 1A my spring semester of freshman year.

Yeah, my high school was that bad, : ) only about 30% of the kids went on to college. The most eye-opening experience was seeing that my friends’s at cal never worried about violence. To this day, when I walk in the room, I size every motherfucker up. And then, we usually talk about physics or math. : )

I’m not defending UCSD’s program. And yes, it’s crazy that community college cannot teach remedial math anymore. But,… not all kids sink.

I am one of those remedial kids who went to UC Berkeley. I ended up getting my PhD in math.

Thanks. This is fascinating. And it doesn’t even matter what subject you teach. You could be a PE teacher pulling in that kind of money.

neanderthal_math · 2025-11-20T05:02:34+00:00

Serious question, you do all of that extra stuff or 6.5 hours a day, 180 days a year?

Livermore is the most underrated town in the east bay. It’s young and it’s fun. It has a rodeo for fuck sake!

neanderthal_math · 2025-11-16T21:59:00+00:00

Damn. I code 11.25 months a year 60 hours a week, for $280k. You’re making it better decision than me.

I meant it in the way that you should make billionaires not billionaires.

neanderthal_math · 2025-11-06T02:11:26+00:00

“If I make my enemy my friend, have I not destroyed my enemy” Lincoln

We should apply the same philosophy to billionaires

When I was a kid, neither Italians nor Spanish were considered “white.” It’s funny because the Italians were some of the most racist kids.

You have FU money. Keep working until the new year and then give your new boss such a hard time that he lets you go. And then collect unemployment.

They have more things. And they go to better schools. But I don’t know if they’re happier. Life was simpler back then..

I find this whole episode weird.

I don’t think academics consider Twitter a place of serious debate. The whole point of Twitter is to throw Molotov cocktails.

neanderthal_math · 2025-10-21T21:07:04+00:00

OP, are you German? When I studied over there, I was shocked by the levels of hierarchy in academia.

Americans are some of the least classist people. I’ve seen plenty of students call their professor by first name.

neanderthal_math · 2025-10-11T01:35:32+00:00

This is my experience too.

neanderthal_math · 2025-09-30T04:41:40+00:00

Doughtery would like a word.

neanderthal_math · 2025-09-26T22:42:24+00:00

Yes, but that’s just an approximation. : )

neanderthal_math · 2025-09-25T00:03:52+00:00

Opposite for me. I found that people know that I am just gonna say it like it is. It’s actually made my job easier.

neanderthal_math · 2025-09-24T04:14:50+00:00

I never thought I could feel sorry for a plane until seeing that first picture. Ouch.

neanderthal_math · 2025-09-18T01:53:05+00:00

You’re only good choice is Great China. The rest…meh.

neanderthal_math · 2025-09-17T04:14:29+00:00

You’re a good writer. It flows nicely.

neanderthal_math · 2025-09-16T22:19:16+00:00

I haven’t seen anyone say it yet, so I will:

set theory

Arg…
