You are describing your personal emotions and outlook and not facing the issue.

Go read any forum about retirement and see all the uncertainty and worry.

The math isn’t the problems. It’s the feat and uncertainty.

> $300-400k in college tuition This is a ridiculous exaggeration.

The emotions are no different at age 60 with 5 million.

And most mech/ee make <150k. A closer comparison is IB.

For engineers at the mid to low level where leet code dominates the trait to select for is ability to program and be reasonable to work with.

None of these things are true of me actually. Skill based interview is an equalizer which overcomes status education. And fine divide the salary by 2 and it’s still better than most “licensed” careers

I still haven’t met the guy who is an algorithms genius who can’t program, but I can guarantee a license isn’t going to solve that problem.

- licensing ensures only a minimum level of quality - people with licenses still do interviews, often just as grueling - licensed careers with high performers (lawyers, doctors, ib, etc) have other forms of filtering which are much more pai

What property do unions possess that makes them different?

Nobody has your interest in my mind, except in so far as aids their interests. Doesn’t matter how many regulations or labels or non profit signals there are.

Yep. Making a feature electronic with your own OS is immediately burned by - WiFi/ip stack - 4g/5g wireless - graphics drivers That’s why pretty much everything is android. I just wish these startups would stop shoving Ubuntu serv

Im sure they use many technologies. But we only have heard about one, because they told us.

by citizen_friend 2y ago
See. That’s how they have marketed to this demographic.
106.
by citizen_friend 2y ago
It’s just developer marketing.

Volunteer committees of execs is a standard management practice and not anarchy by any stretch of the imagination.

This implies it works piecewise. That’s also true of neural nets lol. You have to keep adding more neurons to get the granularity of whatever your discontinuities are. It’s also a different reason than Taylor series which uses differentiabi

> Taylor expansions That’s not what I’m talking about. This is a basic analysis topic: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone%E2%80%93Weierstrass_th... At least mid 1800s for a proof. 1700s also explored Fourier seri

We knew about universal function approximators like. Polynomials and trig functions since the 1700s. Turing and godel were around 1910 and 1920. The cybernetics movement is big in the 30s and 40s. Perceptrons 50s and 60s

Analog circuits have the same computational power. Piecewise linear functions have the same computational universality.

If you study this historically you will see that every generation thinks they have the mechanism to explain brains (gear systems, analog control/cybernetics, perceptrons). My conclusion is we tend to overestimate our understanding and

This is completely irrelevant to the original claim (it’s outrageous for elons bonus to be X percent of every previous car) or my point (nurturing exponential growth is worth burning a lot of early cash flow).

by citizen_friend 2y ago
Did you expect more?

by citizen_friend 2y ago
It takes a tremendous amount of attention for a message to get into the public in 2024. For you to know Elon’s name in the first place is a result of careful marketing and PR. So now that media is interested in Elon the question is what ch

by citizen_friend 2y ago
You wouldn’t hear about it if the media didn’t tell you.

by citizen_friend 2y ago
Tesla now sells as many cars in a year as it did in its whole lifetime up to 2018. So that’s why it was worth paying Elon that much. The current sales position is tremendous.

by citizen_friend 2y ago
Oh so you do know the full picture and organizational structure?

by citizen_friend 2y ago
Did everyone forget how growth valuations work? Also that amount was from a contract made in 2018.

by citizen_friend 2y ago
I see. Was just confused because you mentioned algebraic geometry and I wasn't sure.
