To Whom It May Concern: My name is Dave and I’m here to participate in (and perfect) the art of technical writing.

You see, I have vast experience in technical writing, technical support, and sales – from hungry startups looking to change the game to companies as big and established as Apple looking to endlessly craft perfection.

I want to join your team’s technical writing and editing team.

I can take your technical writing, and I can take it higher. I have a lofty understanding of Apple’s core values precisely because defense and cybersecurity runs in my family. My father worked for Boeing as an Aerospace engineer for almost 20+ years and his lessons and values are deeply instilled in me – and that shows up in my work, too.

I’m not just any kind of writer, either: I am a technical writer with an A.S. in Computer Science, a B.A. in Philosophy (and Pre-Med to boot) and I’m also published.

This all to say that I have the experience and the aptitude to communicate technically; I received a perfect score on the SAT Writing/Essay examination (an “8” which places me in the 98th – 99th percentile of test takers in the good old US of A).

I am looking forward to professionally articulating and artfully transforming your company’s values into analytical, intrepid and pertinent technical writing — with a good eye for proofreading, editing and beyond.

Sincerely yours,

Dave Karimi

Sapolsky's cartoonish mis-characterization of Schizophrenia and people afflicted with Schizophrenia is a joke and leaves a bad taste in my mouth. His widely-cited and (unfortunately) popular lecture on YouTube is proof positive that Sapolsky is an imposter and isn't truly interested in the rigors of scientific reasoning. If you want real cutting-edge Schizophrenia research it's best left to those on the front line in hospitals and Ivory Towers. Not armchair yahoos like Sapolsky who get a laugh off the backs of people suffering. He's done a great disservice to those who are afflicted with Schizophrenia. Much better than his rambling lecture is a TED talk given by Bethany Yeiser. Let's put a human face on Schizophrenia, shouldn't we?

The following questions arose to me after watching this poignant video...

1.) Does the AI "know" it's beating the game?

2.) Why can 10 y.o. me know how to progress in the game without taking countless hours?

3.) Wasn't there a Twitch channel that was broadcasting the A.I. beating Pokemon Red?

4.) Is there any correlation between the A.I. used here and the one used by Deep Blue in Chess?

Has Reddit forgotten the history of oft-fabled failed sites like Digg?

I'd argue -- for my pedestrian use cases -- that Apple Maps is superior to Google Maps. UI is one reason.

Really having fun with the contacts poster as I try to complete all of my close friend's pictures.

Biggest feature for me? Ability to disable efficiency mode which is - by default - on in Windows 11 and which cripples my plethora of open tabs.

Another great book to read (which I read in college as a Philosophy major) is Timothy Williamson's Vagueness ...a brilliant magnum opus.

The response is always: "Oh, well, we're not making enough profit to justify staying open." Are you serious? It's greed manifest at sociopathic levels.

I would be surprised if they _didn't_ paint themselves into their work.

Example: Van Gogh _must have_ transferred his neuroses into his work. Without question.

1st page of most search results is inundated with irrelevant ads. Pitiful. And yes, a small minority know about and actively use uBlock Origin. But that doesn’t mean the core functionality and purpose of Google search isn’t tainted. The rotting and decay has already manifested itself in ugly ways.

discriminatory MCATs, brutal STEPS, insane Pre-Med curriculum, and more nonsense designed to cater to white elites who gamed the educational system and less to those who are genuinely trying to help the disenfranchised, unremembered, diverse and more.

Hopefully one day, we'll make it as easy to become a doctor as it is to -- say -- become an Engineer.
