FIRE. If you’re working in American tech, especially in the VHCOL areas, there’s absolutely no excuse to not be saving and investing a significant (arbitrarily >>30% of gross pay) amount of your income. Don’t go overboard on the spend

Even Pepsi and Coca-Cola have obvious differences with many preferring the latter. Store-brand cola is an even bigger difference.

FIRE for me. Been saving up good chunk of earnings for the past several years just for the financial independence aspect even without the potential of AI displacement. Having said that, if disruption really does get that bad, then I questio

It’s a capped-profit structure where excess profit will supposedly go back to the no-profit side. From a recent NYTimes article [1]: > But these profits are capped, and any additional revenue will be pumped back into the OpenAI nonprofit

Looks like there’s a paid podcast available. I’m sure there’s some TTS apps that could take in the text and make it consumable that way, though.

Interesting comparison with Intel in the PC market: > the market just wants the software and if the software works the same, the hardware is replaceable And likely to be true given how much competition is heating up in the AI hardware sp

Because leaving the mentally ill on the streets is such a compassionate alternative to institutionalization and getting them the help they need.

The supposed purpose of this tax on expensive properties—funding homeless programs—is dubious at best considering the insane amounts of money that Californian cities funnel towards them with no real improvement in the crisis. The reality is

In this context I think we’re talking about moat, i.e., private data, that they can leverage for personalized experiences. Similar to what Microsoft announced with their Office365 Copilot stuff.

Are you saying that Google doesn’t have a great data moat? That seems completely off considering Google search, YouTube, GCP, Google for Education/Work, Android, etc.

Well said. It so easy to take for granted all these tech milestones with generative AI in particular the last year.

I’m curious what you think your observations say about the qualifications of engineers today. Is it that most of your applicants are liars with what they put on their resume? Or that those specific skills you mentioned aren’t applicable to

Seems like such a bizarre thing to be worried about. What privacy are you losing by showing your ID on a webcam to an interviewer who already has screened you?

It’s annoying but it seems to be the way things are marketed these days to build up hype so I can’t really fault them for it. Better to release info piecemeal as opposed to one big info dump if you want to build up a following.

Not much info other than the fact that it’ll release sometime this year on PS5, XSX, and PC. Teaser trailer is just a bunch of cinematics.

Haven’t used Airbnb in a while but I could swear that’s how it worked. Which is why I’m confused reading all these experiences about retaliatory negative reviews.

This rings so true. It seems socially acceptable to either be a regular social drinker or a renounced drinker.

Agreed. The network architectures have evolved so much in the past few years alone. Imagine what they can do in just 5 years if they can embed domain-specific knowledge to the current “dumb” statistical word guessers. Ten years is truly uni

SF is similarly stupid at even higher cost. They really need to raze half the Sunset and Richmond districts and put up “missing middle” housing and a bunch of minimum 6-story condos. Converting some unused downtown commercial office space i
