It can go beyond the 100% loss if you leverage.

Will probably start her own company and raise a billy like her old pal Iyla. I wouldn't blame her, there's been so many articles that technical people should just start their own company instead of being CTO.

Anyone want to take bets on how long it takes for this to hit the Google Graveyard?

Yes, and it's the exact same thing OpenAI/Microsoft and Facebook are doing. In Facebook's case, they are giving it away for free.

In a world of infinite leverage, those who can leverage will far outrun those who cannot leverage or do so poorly. The world is also getting flatter, so you will see massive clusters of people near the bottom, with a very long fat tail of p

Comparing a human brain in these terms makes it incredibly obvious how inefficient the human brain actually is. A 1.7T model can answer questions about practically anything. You say a human brain has 150T params. So what? It struggles to gi

> Carrying debt is actually unfavourable for requesting further debt... Hit the nail on the head. I have 1 effing credit card that is maxed out (interest free for another year) and it represents less than 8% of my total revolving credit

If I have to think on first principles, the reason why people are building things in public is because that's just a form of marketing and self-promotion. We're way past tech being the hard part of launching a product. The harder

I do this all the time for old specs, but one issue I worry about is accuracy. It's hard to confirm if the translations are 100% correct.

This is a big reason why I switched over to credit cards. I don't throw away my coins, but they end up in a plastic container somewhere.

I remember the days when Dropbox was good. It worked exactly as advertised. Syncing data to the cloud and between my machines. All was well. Then things changed. Their client got really heavy, constant pushes to use other functionality like

This. Everyone I've seen in high levels of debt got that way because they have access to credit. If it's not credit cards, it's going to be loans of other kinds. You can't really stop people from going into debt, it&#x27

Lol, guess you can't really escape. One benefit of Kagi is you can block websites from appearing. Maybe website blocking lists will appear similar to ad blocking lists. Maybe Kagi already lets you do this.

by charlie0 2y ago
It's getting closer to the point where we will compare Google to Kagi like web-browsing without an ad-blocker. It's hell surfing the web with ad-blocking off.

Yes, this is a big deal, but most of us have simply stopped using Google and moved on to other tools.

I wasn't referring to marginal gains through the use of AI or automation, I'm referring to re-building everything from scratch so that things are actually efficient and effective. ie, see what Tesla did to the car industry and Spa

Hot take: If tech people who are used to working with complex systems can't understand it, maybe it's time to replace the whole thing. The healthcare system doesn't make sense at all and is that way because of regulation and

Dang, the journos fooled me again with their creative headlines. You're right, this is basically a nothing-burger to generate clicks.

You do have to wonder though, if traditional automation could do the job, why wasn't that done already?

Sure, at an individual level age might not matter much. But taken in aggregate, age means a lot in the context of company culture building. Take any average 24 year old and see how much they have in common with a 34 year old or 40 year ol

That's my point. Techies lived an expensive lifestyle not by choice. Now that we have remote work, how many have left to lower cost of living areas? Most of us are not driven by prestige and because of that we're a lot more amenab

It's the best company I've ever worked at so far. The fact that mostly everyone was in their 20s to early 30s meant we had an awesome cohesive culture. Note I said mostly. Of course there were older people, but they were in their

Usually because medicine, law, and finance comes with huge student debt. There's also a certain level of prestige expected with those profession that it seems par for the course to buy a $1M house, a car with a 6 figure price tag, etc.
