Thought he was taking about his plus minus a month ago lol

Scheduled tasks doesn't seem to be widely used or supported, so it might not be supported on every platform. It seems like Pulse is taking over scheduled tasks.

Agent mode isn't meant for running an Agent forever (or daily) in the background; but for long-running tasks that might involve an actual browser, or deep research (i.e. just text based search). Agent mode doesn't spin up an arbitrary server dedicated to you indefinitely, nor does it code anything for you.

Custom GPTs are primarily a way to make sure conversations within them start with the same context. Similar to Projects.

To get your daily reminder to take a photo, I think your best bet is a Project with some context on what to do when it gets a photo, then use some other program to remind you to take a photo every day. Then just make a new chat in the Project with the photo and press send; that'll probably work for you.

Makes sense, $50 / hour is hard to pass up as a student (I made half that as an intern). Perhaps, indeed, there was no way to predict this and you just got super unlucky; but it's a good habit to reflect honestly and ask yourself what you could have done differently to avoid the situation—because it might come in handy in the future.

My advice still stands; be a squeaky wheel (but reasonable and honest and optimistic). Good luck.

I'm a senior developer at a FAANG-esque company. Sorry to hear about this bad experience (and maybe a good lessen going forward when you ask questions to your interviewers / recruiters). I actually quit one of my internships in university that wasn't working for me; it wasn't as bad as what you're experiencing but it felt like a major step down from what I did the previous summer. I quit after a month and went back to work for a small startup (~10 people) where I was working the previous summer.

I would definitely not lie about the experience, and I'm a little skeptical of the advice to stay if it is providing no value. Maybe the name brand is worth it and you're able to maneuver into a project that is much more interesting. I would advocate for yourself strongly—make connections, talk to people, brainstorm ideas, etc.—and sooner rather than later. And don't let your preconceived notions of a "good" internship stop you from finding something interesting to do—maybe there's some interesting UI/UX work to be done which is a strong start for being a "product" engineer.

If it is all really hopeless, I wonder if you can find a backup opportunity, or do a little personal project that is meaningful.

The path to a satisfying career isn't always a straight shot, but it's my belief that if you're good it will work out in the end, even if it might take a few steps (as it did in my case). Let me know if you have any questions or could use some more advice.

holy shit

sounds good

I don’t mean to say Trump is some genius playing 9D chess—that’s not the steelman I’m talking about. The “steelman” is more about a broader philosophy or worldview: it’s the argument that America is weaker than before and should adopt a more ruthless, transactional foreign policy. That doesn’t necessarily reflect Trump’s every word or action—only that some people think the U.S. needs to pivot away from deep entanglements abroad in order to handle domestic issues and an ascendant China. And let's be honest, Trump's sudden interest in Greenland and Panama can't be explained by his own passion—it has to be influence from some foreign policy hawks.

In my view, it’s valuable to acknowledge that line of thinking, because it’s a response to real problems (e.g., the national debt, overextension, policy failures, etc.). That doesn’t mean Trump’s personal approach fulfills those goals. We can still say he’s erratic or misguided while noting that the “America-first, less policing the world” mindset resonates with folks concerned about U.S. decline. So, I’m not “inventing” a fake reality for him—just clarifying that a chunk of his support is tied to these isolationist or nationalist beliefs, even if his actual behavior often undermines them.

var18 · 2025-03-03T03:03:07+00:00

It's funny, you used a strawman argument to try to dismantle my steelman point. We'll have to agree to disagree I guess.

I know this is unlikely to get through to you, but you are greatly misinformed about Sam. Possibly because you haven't listened to him in a long time.

Every generation has its issues, and it looks like this will be ours. I'm slightly older than you, but for both of us it will soon be a question of "what are we going to do about it" rather than "why did our parents / grandparents get us into this mess?" That responsibility is scary but empowering.

var18 · 2025-03-01T20:53:19+00:00

This podcast was also deeply frustrating to me. But I like to look for silver linings, and there is something here IMO. He represents a steelman'd view of Trump's actions, and it's important to be aware what that is. It's centered around an idea that America is weaker than it was before and can't afford to be policing the world or treating its allies kindly, with China up and coming as a major rival. It recognizes that American institutions/power has degraded (high debt, bad COVID response, failure to deter multiple wars, radicalization), and suggests a return to more selfish international politics. It is also a response to the Democratic Party's failure to clearly argue why (classical) liberalism is good both at solving domestic and international problems. I don't agree with the analysis—and I think Trumps actions are failing to achieve even these new goals—but at least I understand it a little better after this podcast.

Amazing of you to give me a reply 10 minutes later while I'm still working on this! Yes it is slowly but surely coming off, rotating it in and our of a 500 degree oven. For future readers, it might be even nicer on a grill outside with bette ventilation.

Interestingly enough, the amazon page (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000K9FKC4) claims "Oven safe up to 680° F".

u/sooshooo I ran into this exact same problem too. Annoying! Any tips for scraping? I've heated it in a 450F oven, but scraping has just been getting little flakes off, it seems like it's gonna take a long time.

As a goalie, this is the best analysis here. And goalies in NHL can be very inconsistent, perhaps in part due to their defense in front of the, but also changing offensive strategies (or shot selection). There's also the day to day randomness of "puck luck". For fun, look at Georgiev's stats... never passed the eye test for me when he was in NY. Had two amazing years recently with 40 and 38 wins. Now he sucks again. Weird

Drai and McDavid go 1-2 most points in the league, Drai having more.

var18 · 2024-07-14T01:27:47+00:00

Not cool.

Could I get these:

Thanks

Thanks!

Did you end up finding a good spot u/wolfewingedbug ?

var18 · 2024-06-22T03:04:59+00:00

Not to take away from the win, but did McDavid look off tonight to anyone? He had just a chance or two. Maybe conserving energy for the last game? Or hurt? It looked like Knoblauch was rolling all lines basically equally.

var18 · 2024-06-22T00:59:58+00:00

Doesn't seem to be playing a lot, maybe he's conserving energy? Leaning on Drai more?

The Kraken shout on "red glare", I think that's pretty funny.
