To Whom It May Concern: My name is Dave and I’m here to participate in (and perfect) the art of technical writing.

You see, I have vast experience in technical writing, technical support, and sales – from hungry startups looking to change the game to companies as big and established as Apple looking to endlessly craft perfection.

I want to join your team’s technical writing and editing team.

I can take your technical writing, and I can take it higher. I have a lofty understanding of Apple’s core values precisely because defense and cybersecurity runs in my family. My father worked for Boeing as an Aerospace engineer for almost 20+ years and his lessons and values are deeply instilled in me – and that shows up in my work, too.

I’m not just any kind of writer, either: I am a technical writer with an A.S. in Computer Science, a B.A. in Philosophy (and Pre-Med to boot) and I’m also published.

This all to say that I have the experience and the aptitude to communicate technically; I received a perfect score on the SAT Writing/Essay examination (an “8” which places me in the 98th – 99th percentile of test takers in the good old US of A).

I am looking forward to professionally articulating and artfully transforming your company’s values into analytical, intrepid and pertinent technical writing — with a good eye for proofreading, editing and beyond.

Sincerely yours,

Dave Karimi

Sapolsky's cartoonish mis-characterization of Schizophrenia and people afflicted with Schizophrenia is a joke and leaves a bad taste in my mouth. His widely-cited and (unfortunately) popular lecture on YouTube is proof positive that Sapolsky is an imposter and isn't truly interested in the rigors of scientific reasoning. If you want real cutting-edge Schizophrenia research it's best left to those on the front line in hospitals and Ivory Towers. Not armchair yahoos like Sapolsky who get a laugh off the backs of people suffering. He's done a great disservice to those who are afflicted with Schizophrenia. Much better than his rambling lecture is a TED talk given by Bethany Yeiser. Let's put a human face on Schizophrenia, shouldn't we?

The following questions arose to me after watching this poignant video...

1.) Does the AI "know" it's beating the game?

2.) Why can 10 y.o. me know how to progress in the game without taking countless hours?

3.) Wasn't there a Twitch channel that was broadcasting the A.I. beating Pokemon Red?

4.) Is there any correlation between the A.I. used here and the one used by Deep Blue in Chess?

Has Reddit forgotten the history of oft-fabled failed sites like Digg?

I'd argue -- for my pedestrian use cases -- that Apple Maps is superior to Google Maps. UI is one reason.

Really having fun with the contacts poster as I try to complete all of my close friend's pictures.

The one with the cow spots on the box? Ah…good times!

> - Disk space manager - graphically show where my diskspace went; allow me to find and delete large files

Try WinDirStat.

Biggest feature for me? Ability to disable efficiency mode which is - by default - on in Windows 11 and which cripples my plethora of open tabs.

Another great book to read (which I read in college as a Philosophy major) is Timothy Williamson's Vagueness ...a brilliant magnum opus.

The response is always: "Oh, well, we're not making enough profit to justify staying open." Are you serious? It's greed manifest at sociopathic levels.

I would be surprised if they _didn't_ paint themselves into their work.

Example: Van Gogh _must have_ transferred his neuroses into his work. Without question.

1st page of most search results is inundated with irrelevant ads. Pitiful. And yes, a small minority know about and actively use uBlock Origin. But that doesn’t mean the core functionality and purpose of Google search isn’t tainted. The rotting and decay has already manifested itself in ugly ways.

discriminatory MCATs, brutal STEPS, insane Pre-Med curriculum, and more nonsense designed to cater to white elites who gamed the educational system and less to those who are genuinely trying to help the disenfranchised, unremembered, diverse and more.

Hopefully one day, we'll make it as easy to become a doctor as it is to -- say -- become an Engineer.

You can pull Strunk's from my cold, dead hands.

Can't tell if this is a fluff piece or a genuine analysis of market trends. Either way, I'm sipping tea with my 3090.

Chen is a marvelous writer. Punchy sentences replete with wisdom.

To piggyback off your point, any sufficiently capable AI (not what we have now) would easily squash whatever humans create simply because it would be able to transcend existence and have a consciousness of its own. His arguments straw man the AI, in essence.

I'm happy for the Gray Lady, honestly, and hope that it continues to thrive on the internets. We hunger for a strong 4th estate. We need it. I am not going get my news from a fringe blog. I need news from an outlet with seasoned reputation, wide reach and authority. And this is coming from someone who doesn't even have a subscription. Hah!

I know this might sound weird, but my dream would be having an AI -- instead of gossiping about humans traffic -- communicate with other driver-system-cars in the world in some giant unified "communication program" that allows all cars to drive in tandem, in sync and on time.

It would be revolutionary, yes, but definitely worth it in the end when we make driverless cars a real reality. Ideally it would be governed and maintained and spear-headed by the Gov't. Nationalizing or Globalizing it would be a top priority everyone invests in.

Am I crazy?

IMHO I believe that addiction is hard-coded in our DNA and can be a sort of coping mechanism; or "modus operandi" for work, you might say.

Take Tobacco for example. It's been around since circa 1400 BC ...how can you compete with over a millenia of evolution with humans and general use? We have to face facts and accept that we are prone to mind-altering, addictive substances and that's what makes us uniquely human.

Whether it's the coffee in the morning, Coca leaf tea for lunch or Marijuana...

We need our fix.

Sorry.

PS: And to those claiming they live puritanically I disagree. Endorphins are addictive, too.

Most of them came from Iran and India however…

I hated learning/using C. Once I was introduced to C++, it was like a breath of fresh air. Sure, at lot of it stylistic in nature. But those frameworks matter. They really do.

So stoked for this. Long live bubblic!

>And suddenly all your salaries and dental work hang like millstones chafing the supple neck of my stock compensation package.

Oof. This guy knows how to write. And he's funny to boot! May consider adding my name to his Patreon list...

The movie is beyond racist. If you don't believe me just watch it. You don't even need to be an identitarian to see it's horrifically outdated.

I wonder what the implications are for “intransitive” dice and Casino-level gambling potential. Wonderful article.

M$FT laid off 10K workers while it boasted record-breaking profits. Sure they'll try to justify it. Doens't make it _not_ obscene.

AI should be synonymous with machine sentience IMHO - anything less is corporate advertising.
