I don't feel the parent post is about bad envy. There is also good envy, when you feel happy for someone's blessings. But you also would like to have it for yourself.

Oh, I think I know who is this. The CEO is fantastic (he is very technology oriented) but he is super convinced this is the right way. It has all kinds of perverse consequences. The constant loss of experience shows everywhere. Cliques ar

My washing machine also has this AI icon. Not a big deal but it makes me roll my eyes everytime I see it.

Even if the project didn't become popular. Have you been able to use it as part of your portfolio to get a job, or move into academia ? Perhaps what you learned in the project was useful in some other way ?

Amazing. What happened with your professional career ? Did this exercise help you out professionally ? One of my worries about AI is that doing these deep dives are a lot harder to justify.

It has crossed my mind that being a scientist is for people who are already financial independent. Same as being an artist. For the rest of us, we need focus on careers where we can make a living. Of course, we can still do science and art

Indeed. You want to have small buffers, because big buffers increase WIP (Work In Progress), product gets damaged, problems are hidden, etc. That follows the JIT (Just In Time) ideas. But, you still want to have buffers to decouple both o

Back in the 90s. I was part of a team working R&D project on flexible manufacturing. One of the central concepts was the use of buffers (also called decouplers) between manufacturing stations. These buffers were the space needed to pla

Exactly. With the standard rules, it is easy to buy the stock to opt in. If they change the rules, it is very hard to opt out if your portfolio follows the S&P500, like many passive investors do.

Just expanding on this. In hispanic countries we have two last names. One you get from your father side and the other one you get from the mother side. When the first last name is very common like Lopez, Garcia, Perez, etc. it is common pra

My experience dating someone younger. She was still in college and I was already working full time. I noticed that if we stayed late night on the weekend, she would make the sleep back during the week, may be in short spans, here and there.

The least prolific very successfull author in the world was perhaps Juan Rulfo. He only wrote 300 pages in his whole life and lived to be 68. It is really hard to explain how was he able to produce such master works.

I agree. The rich kids will always have an advantage. But let me ask why are we playing this like a zero sum game? Do we not have enough education for anyone who is willing to put up the work?

I think providing access to remedial resources, free meals at school, do more for disadvantage students than lowering the requirements. Also make sure there are enough slots for anyone who is able to pass the requirements.

A bit Off topic. I am looking for a Board Game for my step dad. He is a retired 80+ years old rancher. He doesn't know any english at all, so he is very limited on choices. Something that can be played by himself or with other person.

I also think 100x is an exageration. May be 5x for producing coed ? And in terms of understanding, may be 2x.

Nice breakdown! I would separate the Hardware era between Mainframe era and PC era. I would extend Internet era a bit more, Perhaps 2007 when the IPhone was released. Edit: I hadn't seen the original presentation yet. I see that Evans

Beautifully said. Well rounded, thoughtful people improve life for all of us. Of course, we also need practical skills to make a living. But we can have both, they are not mutually exclusive.

I am seeing this phenomenon in my country. Once people discover that their beloved leader is corrupt, they just justify with "all politicians are the same". Society becomes so cynic that it very hard to bring change. Politicians a

I think the post is suggesting to follow the path of least resistance. Work on company time, try not to make many waves. If you are caught ask for forgiveness. The easy path for the company is to forgive you. If they get lawyers involved, i

I share your worries, but I don't blame open source for it. They would have done the same (or worst) without it. Also, open source is one more justification on why we need to increase taxes on the very rich. At this point all of them h
