This is what founders say right before they offer you 0.05% of their company and try to sell you on the idea that of course it's worth it because clearly the company will be worth $100B someday!

There are many objections to crypto on this site and they're almost never about privacy or security. It's disingenuous to pretend that: - stability - throughput - power consumption - taxation - monetary policy capabilities are al

Sure - you can't stop regular people from making small purchases from other regular people. But the INSTANT that a regular person becomes a regular small business, the tax authority can and likely will ask to see their records. The IN

And 0.5% is generous, to boot - after dilution and share classing and options expiring you would probably be better off just working a big tech job.

I mean, the difference between a computer and an LLM is correctness. The compiler MUST conform exactly to a spec. An LLM is useful precisely because it does not.

It really depends - a recent example I had was trying to implement the DPMO paper (a signed distance field to mesh algorithm), and one of the steps is "compute the plane of best fit with these points and project this other point onto i

You understand that most Americans (>60%) own stock, right? You're just patronizing everyone who isn't in Silicon Valley with a statement like this.

Bitcoin is vulnerable to 51% attacks, and before China banned it there were mining pools that were intentionally limiting signups to avoid hitting that number. Then there's the throughput issue, the mandatory deflation, and a ton of ot

I think the reason for this gap are the differences in scope and novelty between codebases. When you need an LLM to write a piece of code that's been written a million times before (e.g. "find the normal vector to this plane&quot

Yes, and who exactly is going to rebuild a $2000 engine instead of buying a new one? The labor costs ALONE make that a horrible idea for anyone who isn't a mechanic already - and if an engine lasts ten years the depreciation on the car

Yes, but what people should do rarely matches what they actually do and deleting old messages just makes it impossible to recover that info. I find that this take is much more common among managers and executives who are used to being spoon

Sure they're old, but my understanding is that outside of diesels and aircraft they were too fiddly and unreliable to put in common use.

It's not a coincidence - new cars have turbochargers and electronic engine control that provide huge performance/efficiency gains and necessarily are harder to repair. Your average shitty 4-banger from the 80s or 90s is not remote

The US is spying on everyone it wants, but is compelled by its own laws to allow strong encryption to exist and be used. That the country is STILL able to spy is the result of huge amounts of spending and insecure applications. It's p

No, but mining and transporting a constant stream of coal is kind of unpleasant even compared to lithium batteries.

Dude, $800k won't even pay for a new piston single. That's like three ATC salaries. I don't know where you get the idea that this is enough money. It's not, it's absurdly low, and "half an on-call" to st

The really egregious thing is that when businesses pay for Slack, it remains unindexed and they just change the retention to 1yr. Nothing is as frustrating as looking for an old conversation referenced in a doc and being smugly told by some

I would suggest actually reading what engineers who have worked at the company say about it. Many of these statements you've just made are irrelevant or factually incorrect (e.g. Fuschia might be cancelled, but Google remains one of t

How the can it possibly be an issue with the labor pool when JS is the only truly supported web language and Python is the main language for ML tooling? I think that you are handwaving away differences in runtime environments. All language

You can and many do, although this tends to be reserved for more senior engineers. Obviously a pay cut is involved.

Google does not cancel projects because they're technically unwieldy, and if you ask pretty much any ex-Google engineer what they think about internal tooling they will generally praise it because it's very good. Complexity is a c

The difference I guess is how much you care about the facts. The man is very intelligent (or at least he was before he started doing tons of ketamine). This is beyond reasonable dispute. Whether or not people get mad when you say it out l
