No, that’s why it’s in quotes. Too many plays on words that don’t cut the right way, I think.

I suspect they didn’t want to call it a “try fold”

The waymo vehicles are so cautious they create safety issues.

Will there even be a path for junior level developers?

It’s this. When boards and non-tech savvy managers start making decisions based on a slick slide deck and a few visuals, enough will bite that people will be laid off. It’s already happening.

There may be a reckoning after, but wall street likes it when you cut too deep and then bounce back to the “right” (lower) headcount. Even if you’ve broken the company and they just don’t see the glide path.

It’s gonna happen. I hope it’s rare. I’d argue it’s already happening, but I doubt enough people see it underpinning recent lay offs (yet).

Home Assistant works well on a cheap(-ish) Raspberry Pi. They’re even working to get voice fully capable.

It can be fully local and is FOSS, for those for whom that matters.

I stopped using them months ago. I only notice when I’m looking for places (e.g., restaurants, barbers).

I’m not unhappy but may still shop around.

“Think outside the box.”

“Not like that.”

Pitfall on Atari 2600

Becaise I’m old, I guess. Pacman, too, but pitfall seemed more advanced.

Now who in the hell downvoted you?

Enjoyed your reply and enthusiasm.

Did you enjoy the read?

Algersome?

I’d wager my savings that most of those are second and third jobs, because it’s become impossible to live with just one in the United States of America.

I’ve wondered this as well - and wondered if Biden ever really grokked what’s happening. Hopefully others do and they follow through once they win (if they do).

I’m ready for progressive Roosevelt-types and I’m voting as hard as I can to get them. I’ll take Teddy, I’ll take FDR, I’ll take Eleanor.

I just want someone scrappy enough to succeed on our behalf.

He’s taking the territory early.

Others will be less willing to develop if they must compete with a loss-tolerant Meta with years (and billions of dollars) already invested.

I want VR and much of what he’s got people working on. I just don’t want it from them. Or Google. Or most tech bigs.

I’m speaking to the text’s message of a dichotomy. The image is context but it is not the entirely of the message.

Then I think we’re fairly aligned and I respect your honesty.

No dispute on whether I’ll be ferreting out biases for the rest of my life. I just consider it mental hygiene.

That’s not my point. I am saying to a large degree science has shown that implicit bias is real. That unconscious biases show up among all groups, especially if given the right priming.

And based on that, we all have times it shows up. Whether we know it or not. Whether we like it or not.

This is not to drain the conversation of its relevance. It only enhances the urgency and importance of the conversations.

But I’m not into this either/or because this is a gradient. Or if it’s either/or then it’s 99+% of the population failing the test. If that’s the line, there’s an honesty to it.

And implicit bias, at its core, is based on belief. Even if transitory.
