I think it's the subconscious telling the conscious parts of our brains what's coming. We're in the foothills now, and we're starting to feel the difference in how thin the air is. It's getting a bit colder and not as many trees grow here. Looking up, we see the snow capped summit of the mountain looming above us, and we know we can't survive up there.

Findings of TFA: Yes.

Women show a robust increase in attraction to cues of ancestral genetic quality (body masculinity, behavioral dominance) on high-fertility days, but only when evaluating men as short-term/unspecified sexual partners, not long-term partners.


Can we summarize this as "people get horny sometimes" and "ovulating people get horny"? Or is that too reductive?

I am guessing they are trying to make a distinction from mental horny vs physical horny

It is probably safer. Summarize it as sociology during the replication crisis

What do you wonder exactly? Where is the confusion?

Do you not know what ovulation is? Ovulation is the phase of the menstrual cycle when a mature egg is released from the ovary.

Do you not understand what people are? People is an American weekly magazine that specializes in celebrity news and human-interest stories. Okay, I'm being cheeky here.

Or is it that you assume that people can't ovulate? I can assure you, they can. For example:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7200380/


Correct, _people_ cannot ovulate. (Some) females can ovulate. One case of an unusual cytogenetically proved phenotypically male fertile hermaphrodite can ovulate.

Wrong. You didn't read my post. 100% willful ignorance and wrong.

> One case

among many more.


In human spieces only woman is able to ovulate.

You literally got a research paper proving the contrary handed to you on a silver platter. We know what you were trying to say, the parent comment is calling you out

Oh, so because this one occurrence of disorder, we are now speaking “ovulating people” instead of “ovulating woman”. Not because of some people who don’t know what a woman is?

> Oh, so because this one occurrence

It's more than one occurrence.

> Not because of some people who don’t know what a woman is?

You could learn, but you champion willful ignorance.


They choose to remain willfully ignorant, ignoring science and prefer the ways of lies and deception. No amount of logic, facts, or intelligence will sway them.

Which only supports my belief that with the proliferation of contraception tying sex and long-term partnership together is becoming a useless anachronism

Are you kidding? Sexless long-term partnerships are nothing new; they've been around for ages - that's just called marriage!

Any Franz users here? How does the unification of multiple apps help with managing comms? Is it truly better than using the different native apps?

I'm using beeper - and it really lowers the mental overhead of tracking messages for me - I have some people on signal, some on messenger, some on sms, some use dms on discord.

It's great to have a single app that shows notifications and tracks conversations.

Much better than having to try and remember if my conversation with "Tom" was via sms or signal or something else; he might have a messenger account but not use the app - doesn't matter - I just open beeper and find the last conversation and continue from there.

Ed: I don't use beeper or messaging on desktop - so Franz is DOA for me.

Which is a shame - it looks like a solid product.


I always found the polyglot messengers a bit underwhelming - those sorts of programs inevitably end up focusing on the lowest common denominator feature sets.

A clear case of human slop.

This 9 year old publisher still slops the old-fashioned way

As an RIT alum, I tend to agree.

Do people enjoy interrogative headlines? Find out at 11.

Would love to hear more detail about the job losses you mentioned, if you are willing to share.

One of the most important things I ever learned from a colleague was YAGNI. He would review my code and mark sections as YAGNI. I didn't know what it meant at the time. He kindly explained and since then I have been the teacher of that very important guideline.

At my employer, if AI is not used, it shows up on your performance report and you’ll be told if you don’t start using it, you will be dismissed. I work at a medium sized successful YC-backed SaaS. So here, the attribution is meaningless - they look at your Bedrock and LLM API calls as well as Claude Code history.

If the company policy is to have everyone using it then everyone is going to assume you're using it.

I don't see a need for an attribution line in this case.


Do you fellow ICs have access to those reports and can correlate commits from you to the prompts used to create them easily?

Not currently. Each IC's report is kept private unless they voluntarily share it, and IC's don't have visibility into other IC's Claude Code or Cursor logs. I think we're moving toward a model where it will be easier to correlate commits with chats, but timeline is not clear.

Seems far more efficient to just have a line the commit message then.


> they look at your Bedrock and LLM API calls as well as Claude Code history.

This is fucking insane. How does this correlate with productivity in any way? The results are all that matters, who cares how you got there?


  > The results are all that matters, who cares how you got there?
i actually said this at $JOB to a manager, to which they replied "yes, but in the future all code will be ai generated, so thats the 'results' we are looking for"....

I wanted to add gapless playback to an audio archive website I maintain. I tried myself before any of the popular LLMs were available. I failed. I then tried with the first LLMs that came out. They failed. Then, when the first Claude Opus was released, it succeeded. I now have gapless playback.
