People are different. Extroverts love social activities at work and introverts hate them. Extroverts are estimated to be anywhere from 50% to 74% of the population. That coupled with the fact that employees are less likely to quit a company

And requiring an email address for sign up. Nobody asked for that on 1987 BBSes. It’s indicative of what I see often with ChatGPT. People asking for things they don’t know about and not realizing how much it got wrong.

That's just wrong, have you used GPT-4? Yes. A lot. Last I checked I can't ask Google to invent a new programming language specification for me I have literally never done this in my job. Ever. I've been a professional so

Exactly. It’s similar to someone saying Google can do a superhuman amount of work. “All I had to do is search for a sample product launch email and POOF it appeared! Just had to fill in the company name.” It’s the same thing with the minor

Dual booting sucks. Don't do it, especially if you're new to Linux. I’m gonna give it a go. I first installed Linux from a shareware CD I purchased from my local Micro Center in 1996. Still remember Slackware fondly! And qmail -

You have it exactly backwards. To a bank, a loan is an asset and a deposit is a liability. SVB UK had loans of around £5.5bn and deposits of around £6.7bn

The “capitalists” invested in this business will get $0. Look at their stock chart. Heck, look at what their bonds are paying. There will very likely be nothing left for the “capitalists” after depositors are paid.

First, the balance between the bank's assets (its loans…) Keep in mind those loans are largely being paid by SVB customers that are very likely scrambling to make sure they can pay their employees right now. It’s pretty assured that

Someone on HN many years ago recommended the book, “Learned Optimism” and said it was life-changing for them. Read it, did the work. It was life changing. Seven years now with 0 anxiety after decades of having moderate to severe anxiety.

Simply looking at the clock rate has never been the most useful metric when comparing CPUs. Even back in the day a 33 MHz 486 DX was much faster than a 33 MHz 386 DX. It’s better to look at benchmarks. Passmark is a good one. Its headline n
