I'm old enough that I took drafting in 7th grade. One tip I remember is to turn the pencil slightly as you use it. I think this was to help maintain the pencil's shape, but there my be other less obvious reasons.

I took woodshop too. The shop teacher seemed to enjoy scaring us with stories of the students that goofed off in shop to horrific consequences. That's also where I learned to be careful with air compressors around open wounds.

This afternoon I was speaking with a friend and mentioned that I need to find a lawyer for contracts. His immediate response was, "you don't need a lawyer, just use AI". Not an avenue I'm interested in going down.

I found this today via their subdomain https://privacy.commonsense.org after looking into some privacy concerns I had with an app.

I don't have children so I can't vouch for the content, but this is an important topic so I figured I'd share.

Is that different than a "Croque Monsieur"? For whatever reason I've been watching Jacques Pépin videos recently. The crust on his "Croque Monsieur" is incredible.

Not to mention the stillness and silence of new fallen snow. Probably the closest in life we come to the stillness and silence of death.

Have you looked at MetaFilter? I've been a lurker there for years, but have never contributed so I don't know what that process looks like. But their tagline is "Community Weblog". It might be worth checking out.

If I remember correctly I took the interviewer's question to mean "now that you're aware of these cognitive biases are you still affected by them?" not "do you experience cognitive biases?". I don't see the first question at odds with the universality claim. The latter would be.

"Kahnemann had the intellectual honesty"

I once heard an interviewer ask him if Kahneman was still susceptible to cognitive biases after reading the book. He said something to the effect of "absolutely, they're tough to escape". I really appreciated that. People that recognize and acknowledge the fallibility of their own minds are a breath of fresh air.
