Another neurological / sense based issue is Visual Snow. This is the appearance of “TV static” super imposed into whatever you look at

Apparently, it is more neurological than visual based in its cause.

Has anyone found a way to reduce the appearance of or altogether resolve their Visual Snow?

I ended each day of my old jobs exhausted, and never had the energy to do or try the things I thought I was interested in.

I am now in my mid 30s and find myself with a ton of free time. But I am finding I have no idea what I want to do.

Nothing that used to interest me interests me anymore. The things I think I might like I for whatever reason don't have the energy to do or try them.

I feel like I've been in survival mode for so long I dont know what my passions are. How do I find them again?

I remember begging my older step brother for an invite since he had the college email to get in

We’ve come full circle

When I was looking for my next role after being laid off, I didn’t get much of a response with my human handmade resume despite my experience

Just for kicks, I asked ChatGPT to “Analyze my resume and give it a score for what percentage it was in” then I asked it to revise it to make it score as high as possible

I still tweaked and fact checked it but after I started sending that out, I got a much higher hit rate than before

But who knows, maybe the market changed, was a better time of year, etc

I still had to pass interviews and prove my worth. But it probably helped me get my foot in the door

This is concerning though. If I lose my current usage allotment at this price point I will likely switch to codex

This is the first upgrade cycle that I upgraded in anger over an unusably slow and energy inefficient OS on an “older” model

I was traveling in south / south east Asia and my iPhone 15 Pro was dying twice a day despite minimal use besides maps and taking some photos. My battery health was 86% so not perfect but surely it shouldn’t die twice a day.

That coupled with the keyboard constantly lagging with every letter I typed made me realize Apple no longer cares about older models.

They threw that out with Liquid Glass.

I wish Android wasn’t also closing off their ecosystem.

The technical equivalent of “if you default on a $100,000 loan you have a problem. If you default on a billion dollar loan the _bank_ has a problem.

- identify who owns the number

- compel that person to give unlocked phone

- government can read messages of _all_ people in group chat not just that person

Corollary:

Disappearing messages severely limits what can be read

I’m sure it’s different than it was when I was a teenager but building Linux from scratch was the thing that got me into computers as a kid

It shows that computers can be accessible _and modifiable_ at the lowest levels

Sure short term it’s more “focused” and “greedy”

But the damage to the community and acquisition through a free tier must drop those numbers in an impactful way

Apple explicitly acknowledged that they were using OpenAI’s GPT models before this, and now they’re quite easily switching to Google’s Gemini

That’s never happened to me before, wonder if it’s related

We just use AI to justify doing all the same recession behaviors while making it sound like innovation

- not hiring this year > AI is making us productive!

- no wage growth > AI means we don’t need to raise salaries

- layoffs > with AI we can do more with less people

- spending less on offsites, work perks etc > we really need that budget for AI

- not spending money on that new business tool > AI can do it instead

What are folks using that does this? What should be avoided?
