There are some metro Atlanta schools where >60% of students are chronically absent. Some ELEMENTARY schools are >30%. Still a ton of work to be done helping students recover from COVID disruptions.

Dicamba is much worse than having artificial food dyes in your junk food. It drifts, so if your neighbor uses it, guess what, you now use it too (even if it kills what you’re growing). There’s no reason for this crap to be allowed.

Agree with every word of this. Us Atlantans voted to pay for “More MARTA” almost a decade ago, and all we’ve gotten is less service and a worse experience.

“Validating personal data” and “providing good customer support” aren’t technically difficult challenges anymore.

Arguments about work requirements seem to come down to “the systems and customer service always suck.” But why do they have to suck? Why can’t benefit systems just work well?.

Great article, but it says something about the underlying strength of the U.S. economy that all this analysis was sparked by a recent grad unemployment rate of… 5.8%. That’s pretty good!!.

I have curated my X feed perfectly that there has been zero mention of the Bezos wedding.

Oh my god @Mattcrophage, “pathologist” made the list of things LLMs think are the “worst possible.” 😂.

My office has no windows, but I know how the weather is depending on how responsive farmers are to my emails (the worse the weather, the more likely they’re inside working on admin stuff). Must be hot and nasty because we’re getting a ton of emails! 😂.

But fresh grads shouldn’t despair: there is still a HUGE difference between a human who cares, works hard, is intellectually curious and an LLM. But yeah, if you’re looking for an easy path to a chill/fake remote job, computer science ain’t it anymore.

We’ve let interns go because they copy & paste code directly from an LLM, don’t do the basic professional stuff like show up to check-in or work the hours they say they’ll work. If you’re not going to try hard, we’re not going to invest time in you. We can also just use an LLM.

As someone who hires a lot of entry-level tech folks, this doesn’t surprise me at all. A lot of jobs have vanished because new CS grads aren’t always better than ChatGPT, and a lot of them haven’t grasped how hard they have to work to be better than ChatGPT.

I picked a terrible day to tweet about Waymos (they’ve all gone into hiding in Atlanta).

They’re training Waymos in Atlanta, and I love watching them struggle then succeed in tough driving situations. I’m cheering for you, baby bird. Fly the nest (make an eleven-point-turn to escape my house at the end of the street).

Remember when the stock market warned that tariffs were a terrible idea? Now the bond market is warning that the Big Beautiful Bill and all the debt it adds is a terrible idea.

Regarding the “No Tax on Social Security” debate… isn’t someone living off of Social Security only getting $24,000 on average annually and basically isn’t paying any tax? . So the “living off of SSI” senior wouldn’t benefit — only the better-off seniors with add’l income?.
