Itâs easier to upgrade habits than to create them.
It will be much easier for him to improve his routine than it was to get to the gym in the first place.

That platform will eventually devolve into a battle between the extreme left and âextremerâ left - culminating in a split into yet another further-left platform, and then repeat the process over and over again.

Where are all the âTrump is a threat to democracyâ folks on this one?
Theyâre so busy playing make-believe about Trump being a âfascistâ that theyâre ignoring an actual collapse of democracy.

The âtrillion dollar questionâ that Deepseek answered: âIs it possible that training and inference breakthroughs could dramatically lessen the need for so many expensive GPUs?â
Turns out that it just might be possible, and the stock market did not seem ready for that answer.
@ScottAdamsSays nailed this a couple months ago when he speculated this might happen.

This is not an effective way to lead and inspire.
The only thing he accomplished was making his team feel panicked and replaceable.
AI is changing the work landscape, and teams will be smaller than they used to. But who can think straight enough to handle that after this email?

This issue seems more about class warfare between those that benefit from cheap labor and those that donât.
I donât think itâs a race issue. You could substitute India for literally any other country and each side would still hold their positions.

Fun fact: that term came from Ultima Online, where each separate server was called a âshardâ. Because in the game lore, a magic gem shattered and each shard of it had a copy of the world inside of it.

I once had a bassett hound that was having random seizures. Vet said it was a neck problem and incurable. I bought a book called âThe Well Adjusted Dogâ and gave it to my friend who had experience. He felt around and performed one of the moves on her neck. No more seizures.

Iâd be careful of assuming whoâs right on this.
Lots of the most experienced coders seem to agree with his sentiment.
I use AI to help me code and thereâs definitely been a productivity boost.
However, while I canât speak for you, Linus is much more experienced and probably wiser on this subject than me.
Same with Bob Martin, and others from that era.
They might be right on this in the long run.

Yes, it seems like they all started to waver on the open spirit of the mission once it looked like there was a chance of success. It reminds me of the one ring from LOTR. Once the power is within reach it changes perspectives.

I donât understand all the hate in the comments for Flutter. Iâve been using it for years and it seems to get the job done.
My main gripe with it is that it can be hard to get the environment going to begin with, or when things change. Itâs scary to wake up to new errors in the build process.
But once it gets going it is super easy to use. Is there a more popular alternative, or are people just writing separate apps for both phone platforms? Because this has definitely been faster and more effective than doing that.

I suspect for this to work, the country needs to experience the benefits, not just the costs.
If it truly brings lots of jobs back, and raises wages significantly, it might change the dynamic.
But the pain will come before the benefits.

Iâve seen the âletter signed by x amount of expertsâ routine too many times now.

Eugene Schwartz, the copywriter, calls it identification.
I feel it strongly with this too. Because I identify more with getting a blank slate to configure and get nerdy with, than I do with fancy luxury cars.
The same way I used to identify with building my own computers.

Easier said than done.
Agents do fine in sellersâ markets.
They do fine in buyersâ markets too.
But that transitional year between the buyersâ and sellersâ market is brutal.
It takes a long time for sellers to accept they wonât get what their neighbor got last year.
