The fully loaded cost of a senior engineer is already well past 400k. +5k a month is not that much if it helps them be XX% more productive. Personally at a different big tech I'm in the mid 4 digits AI spend per month and it helps me

I wouldn't ask an LLM to output this directly. For an ellipse ascii I would guess that having it write a python program to generate it and then run it would work much better. Using claude sonnet 4.6 on a free account it seemed to work

Meta offices are pretty full at 5pm lmao. In fact they are still decently full at 7pm after dinner at 6. Baffles me why people just make up random crap in areas they clearly know less than nothing about.

Inflation is by definition the change in prices of a general basket of goods. Some things will outrun the basket and some things will underrun it. In general consumer durables have underrun, things like TVs and yes, sofas, are way way cheap

One of Microsoft's problems is their pay is significantly lower than FAANG and so you very very rarely see people with expertise in the same verticals jump to Azure. I get that "the deal" at Microsoft is lower pressure for lo

Yep. Truly horrid policy. Where I work our issued iPhones suck to use without App Store access; no Bitwarden was the killer for me personally. Everyone I checked with uses their personal email/Apple ID instead of the MAID, and there&#x

Anyone who used the phrase "measly" in relation to three nines is inadvertently admitting their lack of knowledge in massive systems. 99.9 and 99.95 is the target for some of the most common systems you use all day and is by no me

It's supposed to be a Roblox competitor, which does print money, though probably not to the extent of how much they invested. The problems are 2 fold: People/kids don't want to put on a VR headset to play Roblox. I guess they

Can't believe that I haven't seen the obvious answer, that OpenClaw is simply more fun to use. Sure, you MAY be able to do what OpenClaw does through 5 other dedicated tools, but you are going to take way longer to do so with a to

Just being born in the US already makes you a top 10% and very likely top 5-1% in terms of global wealth. The top 1% you're harping about is very likely yourself.
