They knew it was ending in 3 years, right? Seems like it would really influence the long-term planning part of it. Also they're low income people probably mostly working really hard, of course they need some leisure time. They need a

Yeah it was just a thought no worries

Thanks! I half-jokingly want to come up with a mental health/memory + physical health test for myself where if I ever fail it my wish is to not be a burden, don't extend my life.

Perhaps not a valuable contribution here but maybe consider a rename with all of the flock stuff? My mind saw flock and went "another thread about flock and privacy shit".

Along the same lines, tanh-like curves describe a lot of shit across many domains, especially technology. Plateaus due to some fundamental limit, rapid rise after long slow start, then marginal gains become harder. Both also follow from ver

Edit- does anyone know the breakdown of the load and load types that are actually bottlenecking GitHub? Is it just plain PRs? Is it the actions? Other stuff I never messed with? Couldn't they charge just a teeny tiny amount per PR or d

Take the perspective of a non-US person. Regardless of country, almost universally, they will know more about the US than an American knows about their county. It kind of comes with being the most important and biggest cultural exporting co

Aren't there like ToS/SLA whatever the word is when you buy tickets that cover what's promised? I don't really get what they did wrong landing. If they had to cover every case then I'd expect super high variance o

I see. But I think that's kind of the same diffuse vs. visible problem that underlies a lot of impedents to progress. The jobs thing is one example. We focus on one set of workers because we can picture being in their position. We can

Ignore musks projections which he always says are wildly optimistic, and look at the actual progress. SpaceX should be a marvel everyone is cheering for. Calling him a charlatan is just not accurate. Charlatans never deliver anything that w

True, I agree on forward projections. But overall by metrics people have applied to tech companies in the past, nvda is not preposterously valued

I don't understand why we always pay attention to only the jobs side of decisions like this. Why is the main concern always preserving existing jobs? The extreme version of that is obviously silly. The savings is real and lowers pri

I mean there's flavors of contributions to gdp. Spending money on make work for people digging holes still counts. I wouldn't mind 1 trilly being freed up for more effective use. I imagine we could get pretty good returns on it j

I would like to know if anyone has a method or resource to cover rough calculations on things like: 1) how much cost comes from "friction" like middleman, administrative bloat, shitty digitalization/note sharing, all the tim

It almost seems like obscurity is the goal with the current system. Basically, job security (for admin, insurance) via obfuscation.

Have you actually looked at p/e and forward p/e? Why do people insist nvidia is overvalued?

Which part specifically are you objecting to? I would not be surprised, for example, if the reasoning traces actually included "this other agent is impeding my work, I should minimize its effect on my work. I can demote it's privi

Good. Could be better, there are scary trajectories being followed and proposed for sure. But it's still very good. It's worth fighting for it to be better. I guess my main fear is people not believing in a better future and tha

We didn't understand something, so we simulated it with our poor understanding. Using our poor understanding to construct this simulation, we now believe we understand reality via simulation.

I guess mainly opportunity cost, marginal gains, and relative abundance of MBAs. I could be dead wrong, completely open to it being bad advice. You can learn as you go, and have someone more experienced and especially more interested handle

by chermi 2mo ago
I would never recommend an MBA for someone smart enough to get a technical degree, if their goal was a technical start up. Maybe buddy up with some MBAs while in grad school, take something like a mini-mba program while there.

I mean, yeah? I guess they could make more clear that their perspective is as theoretical computer scientists. I don't think their aim is to dissuade people from running approximate optimization against np. At least that was certainl

First, not clear PhD is really needed, speaking as a PhD. Second, if you do a PhD, make sure your professor is ok with summer internship type things. I think on net it's valuable to become a good problem solver and thorough thinker. D

To me it feels like it must always come up with a story tying together everything in context for the simplest damn questions/requests. "please make that function accept this argument that does this" ..."First, what a gr

Did you make big bets on specific things like memory? He had insight, he made money, didn't have enough experience to handle it well, but still made great returns after his "downfall"

Yeah. And he made good returns even after the downfall everyone was so gleeful about.

Ahh well. Let them fail if it's so obvious they will. Let the financiers fail too since they're all so dumb. There's idiocy and overconfidence everywhere. When more money is involved, I guess it's more entertaining to wa
