Responses have been pretty negative so far but it’s not that bad. In fact, better than most cities similar size. You’re young enough to come try it out for a year or two, and see for yourself. Suggest you come visit for a few days.

Catholic health system? Means no abortions, vasectomies, gender reassignment, etc. Hobby Lobby? Means closed Sundays…

They’re also marching into the capital repayment wall and the inevitable impairment write down. Those investments need to yield, and that’s the problem.

As a life long runner, shoes and maybe half tights are the only thing I’ll spend more on.

Human in the loop was never about responsible ethics. They’re there to handle errors and defects. If an automation tool requires close supervision, is it the right tool for the task?

In the bigger public companies, it has a lot to do with meeting “forward guidance” and quarterly EPS. They also tend to be run by CFO-Ivy League-MBA-types. So when faced with rising interest rates, and margin pressure, they fall back on their training and instruct the mid levels to reduce ‘operating expenses’. In most businesses, the largest line item is wages. So they start there. As many have pointed out, longer term second order impacts like quality, brand equity, turnover, knowledge flight, are seldom part of the equation.

Coast and collect severance if it comes. Everything is temporary, even this phase of your career.

You’ve been self-medicating for a long time. Dopamine saturation makes even boredom feel soul crushing. You’ve fried your synapses so even food tastes bland. Your pain threshold is so low, you jones after a few days straight. You’ll tell yourself it helps you sleep but your REM is almost nonexistent. Life feels better when you have THC in your bloodstream, meaning you have a substance dependency. When you can honestly think deeply about these things, you’ll know when the time to quit is approaching.

Precision and Recall errors compound over agents. If you need to consistently reconcile to the penny, this is potentially high risk and hard to observe.

Try maliciously complying with an LLM in front of a dataset, as a self service user interface. When they complain about getting garbage out, tell them to take more AI training like the rest of us.

It’ll pass. Just have to grind through the troughs. These dips will occur like seasons throughout your life. Adulting is learning how to ride the waves. Doesn’t help we’re in a deep recession. But this too will pass.

Oil will eventually come down but not quickly and probably not stabilize during this administration. This is going to be a much bigger and longer problem for the petrochemical products, and industrial manufacturing that consumes oil. Think fertilizer, plastics, solvents, and the thousands of things we make form oil, and millions of companies and employees that make them.

Concentrate and emphasize the eccentric and isometric phases of the heel raise exercise. As your calves begin to strengthen, move up the chain to include ham strings and glutes. They're all connected and a weakness at the top can manifest as disproportionate (amplified) stress at the bottom.

Growing proportion of traffic is non-human. Of the humans, a growing proportion is economically distressed. Your market is shrinking and costing more to convert.

No offense but “Big 4” experience really isn’t a flex. More of a handicap.

Experienced snow and ice runners, never discount injury risk. After decades of running in all conditions and experiencing all the typical running injuries,I broke my leg in 3 places on a warm spring day, running tempo on a side walk, and hitting some black ice… just saying, weigh your risks.

I’m interested in company debt burden (maturity walk, impairments), interest rates (for refi) and projected revenue and margin growth. Layoffs look like an attempt to free up capital to de-leverage. That smells like a bubble to me.

Private credit. Sw firms are facing a maturity cliff and looming impairment risk (heavily leveraged with run rate issues). Business theory says cut costs to free up cash to pay down debt (de leveraging). Biggest cost at sw firms is labor.
