It’s nobody’s decision but yours, but I will point out that as humans, we are very poor predictors of how we will think or feel in the future.
When we’re depressed, our brains process thoughts of the future as if we’ll be sad forever. When we’re happy and have lots of energy, we make big plans as if we’ll always feel that way. Lottery winners feel an initial euphoria and think they’re set for life, but studies show their mood returns to baseline after about 1 year. Age and development helps you push the fog of foresight a little further, but it’s still hard.
I don’t know you, but if I were speaking to myself at age 22, I would caution making a decision like that so early. I still cringe about being tasked with picking a college major at 18 and how wrong that could’ve gone, and this is easily 100x more important.

RIP to a legend


It’s real, but it went viral and they got a ton of backlash online for it a few years ago.
I love my Logitech G502, which I’m sure you will see recommended anywhere you look because it’s pretty popular.
I’m still using the wired version, but if I were to be in the market for a new one today, the wireless one would be the first I checked out.


Remember when we all dressed like that 10 years ago?
They’re birds.


Good luck finding land that is not near fracking sites. It’s been done basically everywhere, right?


I’m not a judge, but isn’t internet essentially a utility these days? Cutting someone off because of piracy seems like cutting off electricity or water because they did something illegal with it.


Chess has taken over a significant portion of my gaming time since getting into it a couple of years ago.
It’s a beautifully deep game, and it’s refreshing to be able to pour time into something with staying power that people of every age play all over the world.


I honestly don’t know. It’s going to be a big problem. LLMs are capable of having this exact convo we’re having without giving away the game.
Some sort of personal vouching system? Ever changing “human tests”? I’m not sure it’ll be enough.


Everyone clustered on like 4 websites for convenience, and then browsing the internet started to feel like wandering around different sections of the same department store: sterile, corporate, advertiser-safe, and everything’s transactional. Plus, it made it incredibly easy for any party that wants to astroturf public opinion, because now they only have to set up shop on a few sites: botting comments, infiltrating moderator positions, abusing the algorithms.
We desperately need to break the internet’s monoculture, and I think federated social media like this is a great start.


Have you tried vacillating between comfortable indifference and acute outrage on an hour-by-hour basis?


Sometimes I forget how long it’s been!
I can read this as either: AI allows anyone to code their own stuff.
Or
AI is hogging all the million dollar ideas.
