You're willing to throw amazon under the bus, but what company are you at now?

You're right. Nonetheless, not quite at the level one might have hoped given the early promises they made years ago. They never did create the car of the future to sell to the Americans.

Anyone want to vouch for their great experience driving a Tata car? Not exported outside the middle east and India. Looks like they sold 5 of them in Europe in 2016. https://carsalesbase.com/europe-tata/#:~:text=Tata%20

Anyone who's read outsourced code can vouch for the similar QC problems. I work with a lot of great Indian software developers; none of them worked IN India itself; they tend to be the ones that are skilled enough to quickly realize th

Yes. Silicon Valley is a trap. You can’t afford to have parents nearby unless they already are (as these folks have) Everything related to families is a cash grab and a SFH in Palo Alto, Peninsula or Cupertino means throwing any hope of ea

I can tell you from personal experience working on missile defense systems that they don't use xbox controllers. When a track is established, the phalanx will be controlled automatically to probabilistically aim for targets as they com

Watching more of the marketing videos, they show someone using a video game controller to engage targets. Why are they doing that? Why not just have computers do the aiming and you just hit 'k' for kill on your keyboard?? Is there

Is it just me or did this look like some kid's high school CG project. Drones? Fake looking. Laser? Fake looking. Marketing? Check.

Great post! Thanks for sharing - very inspiring info on life as a founder. It seems like he picked a specific solvable 'small' problem and has built a solution. Great idea!

Generally bigger companies have requirements surrounding things like insurance, etc. Sometimes if you push hard enough and the people want you, they'll tell you the requirements etc. You'll need to talk to the finance group etc. t

Your contract doesn't say 40 hours a week. It says get the job done and make sure your role keeps the company making money.

I think there is another point of view to this. Once you hit the 5-10M NW range as employee, you're basically free to take risky bets on start ups. You're looking for something that will be game changing (10M+) rather than another

Can you comment on how you got that job?

I was just thinking about this. ChatGPT feels like it generates the equivalent of chew toys for human reading. And you have no idea if what you're chewing on is real or fake, because in the end its just a toy with no guarantees.

Were you ever considered to be a strong reader? You mention you used not have trouble with any topic, but were you academically 'excellent'? Depending on where you are, your curriculum may not have been all that rigorous in readin

I've been pretty interested in this field for awhile. Has anyone participated in an fMRI study? I'm curious how they do this in such a large machine. I've been interested in conducting ECG based studies at scale on people as

Yeah, I tend to use a site:reddit.com in my searches. Does this imply there is some simple filtering methods that should be done on all google searches to provide a "filtered" internet that is better? If you're just indexing

I think the original web did not have incentives such as the ones you give. Some people just want to be influencers, or get the word out. If you remember the first 10 years of the WWW before ecommerce, before big advertising, there was defi

Yep! These days we just trust influencers... at least they've got some skin in the game (as in their reputation).

This is an interesting point of view. I always viewed grades as a way of establishing intellectual hierarchy, which probably wasn't the most healthy way to look at them; a way of deciding where amongst my peers I stacked up. In Univers

Meta has made the mistake of trying to build the killer app, rather than building the killer App Store. Apple software is garbage for the most part; they outsource software dev to the entire universe and take a 30% cut. Meta should be doing

... why do you have 1TB of source code (you don't! mandatory hacker snark) Is git really supposed to be used for data? Or is this just a git-like interface for source control on data?
