Maybe more intersting than the Thinkpad is how bad GPT-5 was at giving advice in this situation. Gemini was incredibly helpful.

I think you're right and that two Christmases and two Easters and almost 700 days is enough time, but there is the perspective out there that the 2-year mark is when you've finally learned enough to be productive and the 3rd year

The LinkedIn badge was satire, but I did some consulting in 2019-2021 and my employement history got a little fragmented. I thought it would be a good signal to a future employer that could play nice for a couple of years in a standard corp

I don't have much advice for you but I can tell you the statement, "I would feel sick at my stomach just looking at code in the morning" resonates quite strongly. I just got laid off last week and was looking forward to takin

Yeah if you were to discretize it, then you'd get random walks with the only difference being the variance of movement from the last point. Wish I could find this one source that talked about continuous time noise processes - it was pr

A business professor told me that cars were entirely incremental innovation all the way from the model T. Just little improvements, one at a time. I don't know if that's true, but I wonder if it will be an apt analogy for AGI - on
