The AMD offerings are still very far from the M1. Try comparing the 6800U to the now 2-year old M1 in Geekbench. The M2 widens the gap even more. The Ryzen chips are already clocking over 3 GHz, so there isn't much more scaling from

Not quite. The review intervals increase exponentially, so if you stop adding new cards the workload quickly goes to single digits per day in a few months. 35 a day is excessive for sure. Even with foreign language stuff which is the lowest

A lot of ICE cars have much crappier range than a hybrid like a Prius. I know my old econobox only goes about 300-350 miles on a tank, which is comparable to a Tesla. Not everyone has 55 mpg cars that sip gas. The refueling problem is big t

The problem with that theory is that writing code is easier than reading code. This is generally not the case in other professions. It is definitely not the case for an artist. You still need correct code, and the halting problem says you c

The thing that a lot of people don't understand about SWE (and a lot of other 10x professions) is that years of experience has a very weak correlation with skill. A top tier junior engineer could easily become better than a 15 yoe seni

Program managers have very little utility. Ops should really be automated (i.e. it should be half run by SWEs that automate everything they can), so real ops headcount should stay constant as the company grows as automation is increased. I

Executives also have to hold lots of stock that tanks when the company does poorly. Should workers also be forced to hold 100% of their RSUs as long as they work there and be paid 80% in RSUs? Even senior SWEs make 50% tops in RSUs and can

Theoretically, you're picking off improperly priced homes and quoting a tighter buy/sell spread, so you aren't buying higher than the "market" price. The seller/buyer is the one crossing the spread. In practice

San Francisco spends $61k/year/tent [1] on homeless tents, which is more than median income in the US. The problem is not funding. The problem is that the local population would rather spin performative activism instead of taking
