Grammar is not really the issue. It’s just people are bad at succinctly, clearly making the point they are trying to make

Make it more clear to a reader what you are trying to say and what the reader needs to hear to understand it
You basically write whatever you would normally write (badly) and copy/paste it to ChatGPT and it will greatly improve it, instantly
I would just say, there is “writing” and “im a professional writer,” where you a creating ideas and content. Then there is the vast majority of writing tasks where it is simply “I need someone to understand what I did and I’m writing it down”.
In my professional life (as an engineer), most people struggle to write clearly and poorly emphasize the points they intend to emphasize, and also do not seem to be getting better over time. So you are absolutely correct, but also the vast majority of people will benefit from LLM writing assistance
In a professional setting, why not speak in a style closer to how you write? Why is it superficial to expect that? Would it be “superficial” to lower standards for writing based on superfluous additional words?
I mean, in many ways you’re right, it’s effectively separate—demographically for example
Is that true about Kensington? I’m in that district and I’ve always known Kensington Hilltop Elementary as part of WCCUSD: www.wccusd.net/kensington
Just reinforcing Cuban’s point: for Trump, the tariffs are a cudgel to use against our trading partners. The revenue benefit is not the point (even if he says that)
“With a favorable congress, can be appropriated for tax cuts, favorable contracts etc.” He can do all this and more without ever adopting new tariffs
Park far away and walk, put in a pull-up bar in your home office, do pushups/burpees after every time you take a break, jump rope, etc. something I’m thinking about doing in the new year…
Another way to think of it is that 100 hours is about 16 minutes per day. Adding in another 100x 1-hour sessions would indeed be hard, but can you add in a few 5 to 10-minute “exercise snacks” per day?
The federal government does not need tariff revenue in order to “use” money. The money brought in by tariffs does not go into some “trump war chest”
I loved the Tripods series. Something I just found at the library and loved.
Very easy for Trump to say that the tariffs or the threat of them worked and that he solved immigration and fentanyl at any point, irrespective of what's actually going on.
I continue to think one of the best things California could do for social and economic mobility--and for democratic resilience--is radically expand the CSU system and let housing production rip within a mile radius of any campus.
@jonn45.bsky.social what’s the latest in site drainage technology?
When do we hear about the next budget year’s revenue?
What I found interesting is I recently saw that job growth in CA in general and SF Bay Area in particular has lagged the rest of the country. I wonder if that was a temporary “tech recession” thing
apparently Hunter Biden's laptop, woke AI, and illegals being brought into the country to vote for Dems are just more deeply personal issues for him than access to a technology that has allowed him to create eight blonde babies with his employees and/or girlfriends and/or their surrogates
It’s important to understand that religious freedom is a very important value and the actual way it is understood by the conservative movement is “sectarian exemption from the law for right wing christianity” bsky.app/profile/josh...
Yeah, I’ve been disappointed since the day the Afghanistan pull out happened by how little full-throated support Biden’s decision got
good morning, this came to me in my sleep
*You* go to Twitter?
Every activity of any kind that a kid can partake in these days is hyper focused, scheduled and controlled. There’s very little unstructured play anymore and that’s what’s missing.
i also think people have pent up energy and angst in general and in moments of distress doing an angry tweet is some kind of release valve — for many people it’s impossible to sit and do nothing and just have bad feelings
Even people who start their day early should rein in their inner psycho and not have *meetings* that early! I thought the whole point of starting early was so other people would leave you alone
From Alexis Madrigal’s excellent 2014 Atlantic article on CA water politics:
The article also doesn’t even discuss “water use” in an informative way, given what Microsoft presumably uses water for. What kind of cooling towers do they use? *Do* they use towers, or is it once through cooling? how much is consumed? How much blowdown (ie., water) do they discharge and where?
Yes and California demonstrates this very well. Tons of solar but we are power constrained in the evenings (usually 5-9, most typically 6-7) because of high electricity demand and low solar production
