Цветок розы не издает голоса, а благоухание его далеко расходится молча; так надо жить и всем христианам. —Святитель Феофан Затворник

The rose flower makes no sound, but its fragrance spreads far and wide in silence; so should all Christians live. —St. Theophan the Recluse

and now for something completely different, why do the lovers think I'm ?

Is it that you don’t enjoy coffee, or you don’t enjoy Starbucks? I’m not a fan of Starbucks’ coffee myself, but do enjoy coffee I make at home or get from local coffee shops.

It is something silly made out of misheard lyrics from a Taylor Swift song. I usually drink instant coffee 🥹

How can I change an organisation with hundreds of frustrated employees, when I can’t change my own life with only one person. Does a different person run a company and a different person live their life? I doubt it.

replied to:

I think so, actually. My wife runs my household, I run my engineering org. As I get older I do see the two aspects of my personality start to merge but they are still divergent and were much moreso in my earlier years.

and to be clear, I don't mean that I offload all the work to her by any stretch. It's just that I'm much more outspoken and opinionated on the specifics of work life versus home life.

There are days llms impress, and days they don’t. I debugged an issue with Astra and it said it had no idea what’s going on and need to ask me before taking serious actions. Me adding “-f” to a mv and problem solved. So today I was not impressed.

The frequent comments you read about protesters in France or Portugal versus the situation here in America are valid. At the same time, here in America, the police would absolutely roll in with machine guns. That's kind of a counterweight.

Ikea has rules for naming products (so in theory, you could figure out what it is from the name) -> www.ikea.com/…/6f564c4d-2ccc-46de-…545a3948dc79.html

Writing. I want to do it, very badly. I just don't want to be bad at it. You have to be bad at it in order to get good at it. But... Catch 22 isn't it?

replied to:

I think reading helps quite a bit, especially writing about what you’ve read, even to yourself, just so you can go through the process of having to explain something that you’re only recently familiar with. There’s something about that process that seems to be helpful, at least to me.

replied to:

Same. The way I consume information influences how I think. Short form content makes my thinking fragmented without a clear structure. I feel that fragmented thinking won't lead to convincing writing. And I'm trying to regain some of that lost control.

replied to:

Very interesting! I think something along those lines might be happening for me too. Another aspect, always cooking in the back of my mind, "if you can't explain it well, don't explain it at all."

replied to:

The fear of being bad at it is the only thing holding you back. I experienced something like that with playing music with others. Perhaps you could learn to lay down your critical brain during the creation process and that good/bad isn't a useful distinction until later when you're editing your work.

replied to:

Yeah, this is pretty much what I can't do. My critical brain has a lot of power. It's very evolved at this point :/

"My feed" shows two unread messages, but I can't find them, and browsing away from it, and coming back doesn't clear that count. Perhaps sorting (unread at the top) when there unread messages is a good idea ?

……

continued:

Any plans to fix this, ?

replied to:

How about now?

replied to:

Neat, now I can see the "first unread", "last unread" and "mark all read" buttons" again

replied to:

Fixed! Thank you!

replied to:

For me, the My Feed reads [19] but I also can't seem to find where those posts are

replied to:

to add a data point, my feed showed me 99+ but after switching to it, now it shows 80.

I had hit a throttle now. That’s a “subtle" way to tell me to slow down.

Finally got my 3d printer setup for the first time since moving back onto the land. Man I love Prusa. Their stuff just works.

Any shows recommendations? I have no idea what is worth watching (since I rarely watch shows) so now I’m watching The Mentalist from 2008. They had flip phones then.

replied to:

This one is good

Is it just my phone or is HN down? I haven't been able to access at all today

replied to:

Just your phone. Works for me. Try

replied to:

That works. About time for a new phone though

Good morning! Just in time for coffee and unpaid work!

replied to:

Yea but happy to see a lot of new posts! That's the reward.

What if AI will never reach full autonomy and humans are still needed to give direction and purpose and take responsibility - probably... not all humans like to be masters of AIs all day long and not all (who want to) can do that equally well.

theres going to need to be a human or company to hold accountable when something goes wrong
