  • At absolute worst, bare minimum, these tools function as incredibly fast fuzzy intent based searchers on documentation

    Instead of spending 10 minutes on “where the hell is (documentation) Im trying to find” these tools can hunt them down for me in a matter of seconds.

    That already makes them useful just for that, let alone all the other crazy shit they help with now.

    Mario64 does have kind of a creepy liminal vibe to it.

    Long ass empty hallways, rooms with just a giant mirror, no sound except kind of haunting/enchanting music and the echo of your footsteps.

    It is objectively a pretty creepy / empty vibe to it, because in the game bowser has taken over the castle, so its supposed to be a bit spooky/creepy in a bunch of spots.




  • Something that some coworkers have started doing that is even more rude in my opinion, as a new social etiquette, is AI summarizing my own writing in response to me, or just outright copypasting my question to gpt and then pasting it back to me

    Not even “I asked chatgpt and it said”, they just dump it in the chat @ me

    Sometimes I’ll write up a 2~3 paragraph thought on something.

    And then I’ll get a ping 15min later and go take a look at what someone responded with annnd… it starts with “Here’s a quick summary of what (pixxelkick) said! <AI slop that misquotes me and just gets it wrong>”

    I find this horribly rude tbh, because:

    1. If I wanted to be AI summarized, I would do that myself damnit
    2. You just clogged up the chat with garbage
    3. like 70% of the time it misquotes me or gets my points wrong, which muddies the convo
    4. It’s just kind of… dismissive? Like instead of just fucking read what I wrote (and I consider myself pretty good at conveying a point), they pump it through the automatic enshittifier without my permission/consent, and dump it straight into the chat as if this is now the talking point instead of my own post 1 comment up

    I have had to very gently respond each time a person does this at work and state that I am perfectly able to AI summarize myself well on my own, and while I appreciate their attempt its… just coming across as wasting everyones time.

    This actually isnt that weird, happens all the time

    However, its less common that it impacts a common consumer product of the same type.

    But a thing to be used in making a huge project causing prices to shoot up ahead of time is very normal.

    Its just usually stuff like concrete, steel, lumber, etc that is impacted the most, but turns out RAM as a global industry wasnt ready to scale up to a sudden huge spike in demand.

    Give it a couple yesrs and it’ll level out as producers scale up to meet the new demand.





  • What makes that the more likely scenario?

    Because it’s their facility

    this facility has never had this issue until the FBI showed up to commandeer their incinerator.

    Says who?

    For all we know they’ve had issues everytime they incinerate but they ignored it cuz a lil bit of smoke from 1 cat is way easier to shrug off compared to a huge amount of meth

    It’s very possible they just have been ignoring the problem because normal smoke from incineration a very small cadaver isn’t a big deal, whereas meth fumes are extremely toxic and not something you can just shrug off

    Lord knows I’ve worked with workers who have the “I’ve been doing it this way for 10 years and never had an issue, don’t be a pussy” type of attitude too

    So hard to say, without more info it’s basically just us speculating.


  • rather than the FBI for their clear incompetence?

    The article has not stated who was responsible for operation of the facility.

    It’s more likely the responsibility was on the staff to ensure the equipment at their own facility was functioning right

    This sort of error should have been covered by prior operation licensing checks, a facility with an incinerator on premises shouldn’t have negative pressure issues

    So something somehow caused a negative pressure issue.

    Usually the culprit is some kind of exhaust fan being run, or a door being left open too long

    Based on time of year and how hot out it is, I wonder if a staff member left a door propped open or something.

    Incinerator systems need positive pressure overall.

    Anyone who lives in the north and has a gas based furnace heating system knows how deadly negative air pressure can be…




  • Getting a later special meeting request with the ceo, at one company, because he wanted feedback on their interview process itself. He then offered me a different job and I had to decline cuz I already accepted another (this was a few weeks after the initial decline I gave)

    In another case they just fast tracked me and I ended up declining the job anyways (didn’t like the job)

    I’m full time employed but I still do occasiobal interviews to keep feelers out for how the market is. But I typically decline most offers cuz they’re not good enough to get me to actively quit my current job.



  • In the “right” use case, story points should just represent relative effort.

    The hours dont matter, its more about ranking how challenging a task is, in order to help the manager rank the priority of tasks.

    You should have typically 2~3 metrics:

    1. Points, which represent relative effort of the task to the other tasks you are also ranking.

    2. Value, how much value does doing this task provide, how important is it

    3. Risk, how risky is it that this might break shit though if you make these changes (IE new features typically are low risk since they just add stuff, but if you have to modify old stuff now your risk goes up)

    If you have a good integration testing system automated, Risk can be mostly removed since you can just rely on your testing framework to catch if something is gonna explode.

    Then your manager can use a formula with these values to basically rank a priority order for every ticket you now scored, in order to assess what the next thing is that is best to focus on.
