Lots of certification for enterprise IT software might be a good way to get on the ladder. Look at the certification for SAP, Salesforce, Oracle, Azure, AWS, Cisco (on the other hand avoid most bootcamp "certifications"). Those e

He seems a very ambitious person and if you take him for his word he has 0% equity in openAI which must irratate him at some level. So since we are all speculating could it be something like wanting to "download" entire chatgpt pa

There is surprisingly still a lot of short-ish .ai urls available by the way, unlike io, the transition from io is still not complete.

Off topic, my initial reaction was it would have been more of a flex if they managed to get the domain gov.ai, since US gov already owns the .gov TLD, but it turns out that this domain is already used by government of Anguilla which already

Am not a lawyer or even a tax expert, just was noting that for non-experts in these domains this scenario look similar (China is doing to IP what tax havens did for taxes).

This feels like the debate between tax evasion and tax avoidance. What the engineer did here going to an IP lawless place is more like tax avoidance. It has a bad smell but he legally exploited a loophole in the international IP system if

There is an old saying "When America sneezes, the world catches a cold" An economy as big as the US pumping that much liquidity and free money into its economy will eventually overspill to other economies. Even if the spillage is

Thanks, this covers all the angles quite well. What would be the closest equivalent to Phoenix/liveview for Go (as in best django-like stack).

My question is more general: what are some relative pros/cons of Go vs Erlang/Elixir when it comes to their approach to concurrency?

Question: I am considering learning Go or Elixir to develop the backend for a high-frequency financial application. Focused strictly on concurrency and scalability benefits of each, which would be the better choice? Granted they are probabl

I suggest you do a bit of research on how income relates to house prices. Here is the tldr: in country where most people buy houses on mortgages, and mortgages are given based on a person’s income then wages will pay a direct and very impor

Probably the UK central banker has the worst job in the world right now. I can’t think of any other place where people’s sense of net worth is as tied up with their house price as it is in the UK, while at the same time the increase in hous

If you are on 33K doing cyber then you must be in an area where houses are cheaper than normal. If you are in London, then as you acknowledged you are doing it real wrong and you should be upping your job search game. Your main point stands

Would it be possible to create two versions of the language: microC for embedded C programs where these decisions matter, and standard C for PC/servers which basically all use the same representation for these scalers? My main point is

Somewhat unrelated question, but I think one of the second most difficult things of learning C for coders who are used to scripting languages is to get your head around how the various scaler data types like short, int, long,... (and the un

IMO it is much clearer to justify something like matrix multiplication via a simple real life example like markov chain computations, it might add a bit of complexity in understanding the application but motivates the definition much better
