I really don't get managers whose timetables have 100% meetings. Weekly 1:1s is at the max 10-20 hours assuming a 10:1 engineer to manager ratio. If a manager is not technical enough to delve into an issue within their team, should the

I think micro management is often misunderstood. The usual run off the mill micromanagement, that almost every terrible manager follows is what I call micro verification. Double guessing every step you take and adding a verification layer o

This is cool. I am using body pose angles to determine the correct pose for a pushup/squat/whatever. It will be really nice not to use the camera for this and somehow determine the correct pose only using the CoreMotion data. I wi

I have applied to YC with multiple ideas in the past and have been rejected without interview. In my current iteration what I have going against me - solo founder, late 40s, building in a crowded consumer space. I have no idea what YC looks

Impressive demo. I noticed a correction that was done retroactively in the demo 'make that H100 GPUs' and noticed that there was only one instance of the token GPU. Hence the correction was seamless. Had there been a couple more i

There is a counter argument to this - the iPhone shape did not change, the shape evolved. Apple is never known to change shapes or geometry, they evolve from the same geometric construct. The AVP fitting into standard sized glasses like swi

There is one key issue of keeping lasers aligned for long durations between satellites and even between a satellite to a ground station. There are vibrations in satellites and even a tiny bit of that vibration translates to beam misalignmen

I have no issues saying no to all of these, at the expense of being called a jerk. I am not tipping someone to do a job that they were supposed to do in the first place, especially in a high tax regimes. You may ask what has taxation got to

Take a standalone feature of a product and make it free Indirectly this also forces decomposition and building loosely coupled features even at a product level. The speed for delivery and iteration acts as a force function to build pipeline

I read somewhere that Google had to increase all it's perks just to increase expenses so as to balance out some small revenue %. Their early growth was that insane. No company has such luxury today. The barriers to entry almost everywh

I don't get it. If civil aviation is beer money why build the 747, the most iconic passenger plane to be every built, only surpassed perhaps by the Concorde. Something has changed at Boeing in the last couple of decades, that has chang

This is all in hindsight. When you are looking forward, with that kind of money, you have to certainly think about risk and diversify. That said, Bill Gates was more or less left with no options but to sell some MS shares. Almost all founde

If you need middle or random access then it’s an array, neither a queue nor a stack :) I couldn’t understand the animation at all. LRU is much simpler to understand and implement what’s so complicated about a doubly linked list ?

There is so much to learn from this in a product building context. How the musicians align and deliver the notes just by watching the conductor’s expressions, the excitement overall, the positivity and calmness, yet stupendous outcome.

I cannot upvote this comment enough. I can't stand these blue/white LED headlights. What an abomination in the night. To top this, in India highways are littered with white LED street lights. I really miss cruising at 65-70 mph on

The toughness of a pickup truck has been watered down and Musk is trying to build a vehicle that can stand to the definition of tough. That's what I gleam from his talks and publicly available information. For instance - the bulletpro

Brockman is with Sam, which makes them a formidable duo. Should they choose to, they will offer stiff competition to OpenAI but they may not even want to compete.

For most of us technologists, figuring out user need is way way harder than doing research or building something. That's the reality. So we tend to take comfort in building technology and figuring out the user need later on. Even disco

My read is that the sweet spot price for EV mass adoption is $15k with about just enough range to manage. Like a 200 mile range with extremely fast charging. A smaller battery that can charge in like 5-7 mins. The car can be a bit smaller,

I wonder if there is a big enough market for a middle ground device. A good SLR like camera which has a great sensor and a lens but a good control compromise on the software. Not fully managed PaaS but the VM equivalent, if you consider Nik

How is indexing a vector different from indexing a varchar or an integer ? If you convert a vector into a byteaarray it should be no different from a bytearray of varchar but for the bytearray contents. Now if you want to do similarity sear

Agreed not shelling out 3K for a camera, it's not the Vision Pro. My sweet spot price for a camera like this is $500. A fabulous 35-200mm zoom, a great sensor and all manual. The only other aspect I wonder about is in camera image stab

I was an ardent manual film photography fan. Heck, I even bought a medium format camera. The hassle of developing film was too much even in the US. What won over digital is not just the freedom to click a million pictures, but the freedom t
