If you’re worried about the “gap”, don’t be. In my experience it doesn’t matter nearly as much as people believe. And don’t worry about your “career”. It’s basically all bullshit anyway.

Been there done that. For me burnout is no so much about overwork. The happiest I’ve been was when I did contracting/consulting where I’d routinely work 50-60 hours a week. It’s more about feeling “trapped” in a set of circumstances, e

If it is shown to be doable literally every major nation state (basically the top 10 by GDP) is going to have it in a year or two. Same with nuclear fusion. Secrecy doesn’t matter. Nor can you really maintain it indefinitely for something w

Funding: money used to cost next to nothing just a few years ago. Recruiting: where would you rather work, at bureaucratic AF bean counter run Boeing with zero potential upside, or at a startup which even pays more? Can they do it: I think

It’s an “international effort” in the same way the second Iraq war was. The US is funding the lion’s share of this genocide

The only thing that matters to your career in the long run is $$$. The more you make, the more credibility you have and the more interesting work you’re able to pick for yourself. The endless variety of arbitrary “titles” is a motivational

Mainstream media outlets often publish fake news or don’t publish legitimate news that do not support their agenda. I don’t see anyone hyperventilating about that. Would we be better off without them, too? I happen to think that we would.

This is not “democracy”. People don’t want this, and therefore the will of the people is being ignored. It’s just that all candidates they can realistically elect in Seattle are OK with it, or worse. Why, I have no idea.

Many people do not know this, but police has no duty to protect you. At all. I’m not joking: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_v._District_of_Columb... .

Did you forget $15B in “lethal aid” (so far)?

Meanwhile Seattle where hard drugs are still illegal has become an absolute 4th world shithole near the center, with passed out drug addicts strewn around Benaroya Hall. I literally saw a police officer watch a guy shoot up heroin and do n

I’ve long considered “hard tech” (semiconductors, high end manufacturing, aerospace, etc) to be the embodiment of our culture, because it’s not something you can just start doing, it takes generations of improvement to make anything worthwh

Have you tried renting a few hundred GPUs in public clouds? Or TPUs for that matter? For weeks or months on end?

You don’t need to write your own LLM to know how it works. And unlike, say, a browser it doesn’t really do anything even remotely impressive unless you have at least a few tens of thousands of dollars to spend on training. Source: my day jo

I’m not sure why you’d want to build an LLM these days - you won’t be able to train it anyway. It’d make a lot of sense to teach people how to build stuff with LLMs, not LLMs themselves.

Slow is in the eye of the beholder. Of all the legitimate complaints one could make about Apple, “slow” is somewhere towards the bottom of the list.

And they aren’t. The op probably just didn’t like some hyperparameter, like duration, because it had a different value than on Android.

You could disable animations on iOS through accessibility options. As a rule a flagship iPhone is at least 30% faster than flagship Android (by which I basically mean Samsung Galaxy) on realistic workloads.

I bet China would be happy to help. It also cracks me up that people on this site were almost entirely in favor of a TikTok ban, but when it’s someone else’s government doing what amounts to the same thing then they’re “heading down a dark

It’s been a while since I visited. It wasn’t small, it occupied 2 whole floors IIRC. And I think Shibuya is a much better location for it.

Do they even need to “attract business” there? Seems to me that as a developed country they have plenty of business of their own. And there are subsidiaries of western companies there. Yahoo is pretty big, and Google has a large office in R

We already are able to travel without any “passport cards”, with the IDs we already have. And with pervasive facial recognition they already know who we are. If I were to guess it’s not just the ID that’s changing, it’s also the backends, w

Not true. Bears live about 25 years. 35-40 years in captivity. I don’t think they’re normalizing obesity upthread, they’re merely pointing out that in nature accumulation of significant quantities of subcutaneous and visceral fat is normal,

Does anyone have a handle on how we’re getting screwed by RealID? The state governments are pushing it surprisingly strongly and without really explaining what is wrong with the IDs we already have.

This is obviously not a real question, so instead of answering I propose we conduct a thought experiment. The year is 2028, and Zuck had a change of heart and fully switched sides. Facebook, Threads, and Instagram now block the news of Bar

Means you haven’t really looked into the Twitter files. They were literally holding meetings with the government officials and were told what to censor and who to ban. That’s plainly unconstitutional and heads should roll for this.
