400 μg per dose is still probably overestimating by quite a bit.

same. i also did this with twitter when elon took over. i haven’t been tempted at all to log in to either despite spending probably the majority of my time online between the two for years. and it’s weirdly fine.

this one use case justified copilot as an expense for me.

so, 2 related questions for people with product experience on something with this sort of scale and potential downsides.

- would this not be one of the best examples of when to use small, incremental canary releases with the emergency feature enabled?

- if you did do a canary release, i would think that one of your first contacts be EMS in the area that you were planning on rolling out the feature to, so that you’d get good feedback directly rather than through news reports. do apple and google just not do this?

there’s a logitech bluetooth silent mouse i really like and would carry it on my laptop at work from meeting room to meeting room. i had 3 in 2 years, dropped each once, they were all broken on the first fall.

kinda wish they were able to withstand falls onto hard surfaces but it’s also a) my fault, and b) not an expectation i have of a mouse in general.

but it’s also a good reason to not just take any consumer device onto a sub, because functioning after a drop would absolutely be a requirement.

entirely depends on the requirements. however having said that, if your customer requests a quick one-off report you can guarantee they’ll ping you in a month asking for an update by 930am when they need to present updated results. if your customer requests a real time dashboard that requires bespoke data integrations there’s about a 50% chance they’ll look at it a couple times per month and then after a couple quarters just stop using it entirely.

if everyone read more books, took career development seriously, etc i do agree that some qualities or skills would lose a bit of market value, but the overall take that no one would be better off seems like way too much if a zero sum perspective.

i think a higher standard of professional competency in general would benefit everyone, and i can’t imagine some sort of equilibrium of skillsets in the labour market where there would be no opportunity to set yourself apart in your field.

it’s really just an observation about what the market conditions are for a specialised technical position compared to a general project/program manager. i have nothing against my manager specifically or managers in general.

if i found out i made less than my manager i’d rage quit.

> On a DEX you can't even know if the person on the other end is a real person or not without going outside the chain.

why does it matter if the counterparty is a human?

his mention of the disintegration loops is the first time i’ve thought about them in like 15 years probably but i used to listen to them a lot before bed. can’t wait to listen again and see what memories come up.

> After the 3rd attempt, last being a nexus 5, I gave up.

coincidentally i think the nexus 5 was also my 3rd and final android. i actually really liked that phone. then i took an international flight and after landing it was suddenly bricked. wouldn’t turn on at all. so strange.
