It's very common to build a fence on your own land, even if your neighbors have a fence?

Like my neighbors have a fence, I have a fence, there is like a 1' alley in between them, everything is on the respective owner's land, and that would definitely work even if your neighbor is the government.

If fence integrity is important, you need your own fence. Otherwise your fence is as good as your least interested neighbor.

yeah, you're down to like 3/4 a career left, it makes sense that you feel that way. Less runway ought to feel different.

I do agree that a safe 'next' is unclear. But I also think if ai truly hits all knowledge work as hard as it might we're looking at up to 50% unemployment. Frankly there is no point career planning at all in that scenario. We will all have much larger problems.

And if it doesn't, then pivoting to some field with a combination of rewarding work and 'enough' pay seems sensible enough.

being funny and charismatic are something it is possible to practice, same as lifting weights. From what you say, sounds like a high leverage thing to look into

Well said! 5 years ago I could have a pretty solid picture of what my career would look like through retirement.

Today, unclear what that would look like as well as unclear if the career will even exist that long.

One sunny spot I have is that life is very long. I think I have 1.5 careers left in me, and a full pivot is alright. I've been talking with older folks, and loads of people have historically done giant pivots at midlife.

should be a like a milk bottle deposit scheme, pay $30 up front, get $10 back on disposal

I see no reason why every company would have a staff ops researcher, or why such a position would have a better grasp of underlying math beyond the narrow slice that directly benefits the company. Why do you think that would happen?

this is probably a personal problem, but sometimes I get turned around on 'fun making a game' vs 'making a fun game' and I have the idea that ai elides this distinction even further

some folks say that to have good times, you must have bad times; bad times create good times.

When you look at data around economics what you find instead is that good times create good times.

you want stability, but not stasis. you hella do not want punctuated equilibriums

I'm right there with you.

Renaming after this guy?

Miami?!

I prefer to google on duck duck go

oh I had one of those, it was choice
