They use it, but do they love it or do they feel like they need it to do their best work and stay ahead?
I hate cars but I still drive to the office 1x / week because I have to.

[*] I like this definition of "a good therapist", from a book I read many years ago:
> Here’s what you should look for in a good therapist.
> Some good signs are:
> * Someone you know says this therapist has helped them with a similar problem in concrete ways.
> * The therapist offers a plan that focuses on helping you reach the goals you’ve set, and it’s clear to you how what the therapist does will help you reach your goals.
> * This therapist uses a variety of methods depending on your problem and who you are.
> * You have an ongoing sense that this therapist is more often than not helping you feel better in your life and helping your life work better.
> Some bad signs are:
> * There’s no change in your life or how you feel or what you do after four sessions, or things actually get worse.
> * The therapist seems uninterested in the concrete realities of your current life.
> * The therapist is focused exclusively on ways you’ve been damaged, instead of on your needs or strengths.
> * The therapist seems to have one all-purpose theory or “answer” that explains everything.
I hope this helps! Burnout is real, you're not alone, and I'm glad you're taking some steps towards recovery!
(But we're working on it.)
How is what OpenAI is doing with NYT stories any different, other than the architecture and substrate of the neural network?

Honestly, I regret ever signing up for the product that is now "legacy G Suite". It's been a rough experience over the years and there doesn't seem to be an easy way to migrate from this product to a regular Google account. (I looked into this back when they were threatening to discontinue the product.)
Sorry I don't have a solution here, but at least we're not alone.
One of the craziest recent examples was a scan using a tool called Twistlock. Many of our images are built from an upstream image that may have outdated apt dependencies, so one of the first things we do is upgrade them. Twistlock flagged _every instance_ of this because "Package binaries should not be altered" (in other words, between subsequent layers in an image). I am baffled how anyone at Twistlock decided that this was a useful thing for their product to detect, or why any Twistlock customer trusts it given issues like this.
A recent support ticket went along the lines of:
Customer: An audit discovered that JDK version X was installed as part of your software. It has a vulnerability and we demand a way to upgrade to JDK X+1 that has the fix.
Our support team: We're already aware of that and the latest point release of our software bundles JDK X+2, which fixes that vulnerability and 2 others. Please upgrade.
Customer: Our compliance team requires JDK X+1. Please provide a way to install this version.
We eventually solved the problem by having them upgrade to the latest major release of our software, which doesn't use Java at all, but it boggles my mind that they wanted a _less_ secure JDK.

The idea is that you pre-make dough in batches and refrigerate. Then on baking day (every 2-3 days for me) you shape a loaf and bake it. All the baking day tasks add up to less than 5 minutes spread over a couple of hours, and the prep is really quick too!
The basic recipe is the best starting point: https://artisanbreadinfive.com/2013/10/22/the-new-artisan-br...
I only really want to invest the time and energy into getting my friends using this service if it's the latter.
Other examples: * The UX around threads is still horrendous, and there's no way to turn it off. * There's no way to turn off "drafts", which still causes me to lose messages I'm working on.
The Zot protocol https://zotlabs.org/page/zotlabs/home can do distributed event invitations but the leading implementation Hubzilla has horrendous UX and an unpalatable (PHP + JQuery) tech stack. I'd love to have time to reimplement it in a more developer and user friendly way - focusing on events only to start with could make this a reasonable task.
I'm looking forward to checking out Hakuna Cloud - looks like the two services are pretty complimentary.
(No affiliation, just a satisfied customer.)
If it were easier to measure the productivity lost due to open offices they would probably be less popular, but without that I don't have much hope.
