I actually love this angle. Personally trained models based on our own data. They have the storage infra. They also have a means of distributed compute since they are installed on so many PCs. If they werent an annoying and aimless product

Again, I don't personally hold that opinion. But you have to play the game and get past the recruiters who may.

It's a tough question OP asked, because there are a lot of people out there really hurting over their work situation. My comment was not to indicate that people who are looking for employment are somehow lesser. It's really about

Right, the recruiters that would think such a thing are what you say. But they are the gatekeepers. Name call me all you want, it won't change that fact. But it feels good I bet!

Don't. It makes you look desperate. Use some kind of other mechanism to broadcast if you must, but if you put that on your Linkedin profile pic it is not a good look.

I like it at a glance! Could you make a mode that is not 24hr but is 12hr am/pm? I find seeing 13:32 does not compute for my American brain.

Boiling frog Just went to SF for the first time in 5 years. So much worse. Wasn’t great in 18, but back then I walked across Golden Gate Park alone during the day and it was beautiful. I cannot imagine now. Market st is hell.

Yeah this really isn't surprising. They had built up a huge demand surplus in the years before the M1. Everyone with a 2013ish Macbook Pro immediately jumped onto M1. Nobody in that cohort is upping to M2. This is a non-story, other th

I used to think of him as Chaotic Good. His handling of Twitter employees (especially that recent guy from Sweden) convinced me that he has flipped to evil. Not irredeemable like Trump, but taking on a delusional air of persecution like man

Burlington VT banned gas leaf blowers but also defunded the police so… yeah, no change.

I would like to see this conversation turn from "Did phones cause these problems" to "Here's exactly how phones caused these problems". There are many ways to use technology, some better than others. We need literac

We got hit with a charge of $7000 to replace the floor based on bogus pictures of very minimal damage. Airbnb eventually ruled in our favor but it took months and we felt like crap. Not in a hurry to use them again.

I loved my 3DFX cards but there was a moment where I realized that a Nvidia Riva TNT would properly accelerate OpenGL 3d applications (3dsmax in my case) and it was over. 3DFX didn't implement OpenGL properly at the time. It always fel

Phones seem like a better candidate for this. The iPhone is already equipped with a fast and accurate depth scanning front camera.

I think, as we build things which show the characteristics of living growing systems, we can apply a simple heuristic to decide if they are “alive” and therefore of unique, unreproducible value. Certain living systems provide many of one -

In my city, there is a required setback of 4' on all sides for solar panels to be installed on flat roofs... all flat roofs. I have a flat roof garage that is 12' x 24' and this law, which is ostensibly for large commercial f

You make great points about the siphoning of talent. Seems to me there is a tipping point where the benefit of hoarding talent get outweighed by the literal dollar cost of having them. As the stock market drops for macro reasons, this line

To be clear, my claim was specific. It was that if you make rules about how hard (long) someone is allowed to work, you will stifle progress. That is because the highest performers who accomplish the most per unit time will have their outpu

> The myth that more competition means you get a better result absolutely does not hold and needs to die. There's a fundamental equilibrium shift when you spend more resources competing than you do on progressing. Source?

This just in - competitive people in competitive fields compete. The only way to fix this is to make rules about how hard anyone is allowed to work. By definition this is a denial of freedom and stifles progress. The real solution for an in
