I kept asking it for a job that paid more than mine, but the model couldn’t give any concrete answers. It seems to want me to give it hints about industry and roles. But in this hypothetical (maybe) scenario I just wanted it to give me some

No, but those are not the only companies top talent is going to. I can see at least three streams of "top talent migration" after a layoff in my tech company that happened a few years back - other big tech (Fortune 500 and similar

The "tragedy of layoffs" is not that the top talent won't find other work. It's more about the people who will be unjustly affected. Those that are let go through no fault of their own, those whose morale and work satisf

Many top performers leave after layoffs. They know they can easily get work elsewhere and don't want to deal with the post-layoff chaos or job uncertainty. There are also many forces pulling them away from the company - headhunter pres

You rarely use 100% of the battery on these things because they are heavy to pedal manually. Range anxiety makes most people use 80% at most daily. I have few Rad Runners at home and they basically never run below 20%. So getting +50% charg

I'd be somewhat hesitant to undergo this treatment myself. Especially given how common severe adverse reactions were in this case, and how ineffective the treatment was. But also because of Nestle's reputation. I wonder if more pe

I did not say it was a huge movement. But it was big enough to get the account suspended by reporting it.

I fell into depression for half a decade and withdrew myself from society. Eventually I found my way into 6 months of therapy and went back to tech. No one in my daily life cares or knows about it. I don't think people want to know abo

I agree. There is a clear way that Dropbox hurts Apple's business interests. Many Apple devices don't have a lot of space. The current generation base Mac Mini and MacBook Pro both only have 256 GB of storage. The iPhone 14 Pro st

Same in video games. Many C++ engineers are learning JS in spare time to hopefully jump over to something that pays 4-5x. My personal experience also says that you spend much less time to build something profitable in JS and PHP than in C o

Behavioral finance explains a lot of irrational investor decisions through fear. A lot of risk aversity comes from fear, but also some risk taking (out of FOMO, for example). In specific BF terms, the gap between a rational decision and one

OpenAI have added a lot of morality filters that either append or prepend a moral lecture, block an answer outright, or heavily bias it towards a certain world view. What is worse, these filters are heavy-handed and broken. For example, tal

Interesting counter-point about companies where low-level software is user-facing. Embedded systems probably would be another one. I was talking more about the software tech, closer to "big tech".

Low level code is also easier because it's rarely user-facing. There isn't as much pressure in tech to deliver low level results quickly. Probably also because management doesn't understand low level as much, so engineers hav
