Wouldnt be surprised to find a bunch of "idea guys" looking for a programmer to implement their idea, meanwhile they "sell" to clients.

I'm not arguing for having that many children, just that its a basic way to benchmark how expensive being alive is. Clearly these people having so many children werent just randomly taking on impoverished hardship. Things were tight, b

Right, but its like no matter the field, the standard deviation between the pay is pretty low. Sales, programming, project management, manager, account manager. For the average outcome, they all make +-50k with a 150k median. The wages are

Productivity has gone way up in the last few decades, and people can afford fewer and fewer children. It used to be common to afford 8 children on one income. Wake up dude

This is a complete fallacy too. We are working harder now than people did before the industrial revolution.

The crazy thing is it feels like wages are really set by the standard of living. Most corporate jobs are paying just enough to afford a decent place to live, a vacation, and then putting away a few thousand in savings. This idea that we liv

The secret sauce: Let grass roots content creators actually distribute their content. Let the best content go to the top. Give everyone a chance. Facebooks algorithm: Support influencers, corporations, and whatever pumps the ad machine.

It's going to take a long time for tech compensation to recover. Even if the stock market recovers, the wages will be lower. All the laid off employees will take low compensation somewhere. Every time a good opportunity opens up (1+ ye

Took me a while to accept that theres much more to learn from good people in top companies. Working with mediocre/bad programmers will hold you back. Great design principles wont just come to you, you need to work on great systems with

The company has a huge impact on the internet. If they are underperforming, we all suffer from it.

They are removing all the user generated content for big news events. What you have to do is sort by new and set duration to some short time period. You will notice the videos you see there will eventually disappear from search

Ai first? They completely missed the mark on LLMs as a critical component of search. They are AI last. This company had to be dragged into innovating on their core business using their supposed core competency.

Bye Bye Google

I just think about how many people early in life are completely thrown off course because there isnt someone around to provide the basics. And it can happen in well off families.

As a teenager I was diagnosed with "ADD". Very intelligent, but unable to focus or complete assignments. My life habits were carb heavy unhealthy food (from the cafeteria), soda, lack of sleep due to long school commute, not much

Its a catch 22. You get good at these things by basically doing them for free on your own time. It's like the best programmers will program just for the sake of it. The depth of skills comes from uninhibited exploration.

If OpenAI is willing to release it and Microsoft invested 10B, I have a very hard time believing that censoring the model is impossible. Microsoft 100% did their due diligence on the model. Google is a monopoly, there is nothing anyone can

I would love to see google fail. They have held the internet hostage for far too long

How could they have left such a massive gap in their product. They literally have the model and resources to revolutionize search. We all know LLMs will hurt their ad revenue, but regardless they have to have known this was coming. This is

How glorious it would be if it turned out the Google AI division is incompetent. Microsoft/OpenAI catches them with their pants down, like TikTok caught facebook. These arrogant incumbents puttering around, releasing no code, deep inef

I experienced the exact same thing, and have watched the mediocre engineers that went straight for management move up the chain. IC engineering just doesnt have that good of career advancement. The cynical career advice is to just move into

"For more than a decade now, the fact that people have a hard time gaining actionable insights from their data has been blamed on its size." The real issue is that business people usually ignore what the data says. Wading through

I think the new NLP technology made all their search technology obsolete. This company is in trouble.

Even more, usually the biggest mistakes are made by not "using what is standard", any type of programming from first principles is usually a huge mistake. People generally arent smart enough to build something from scratch in a wa

The ability to retrieve and then synthesize the retrieved information into an answer tailored to the question is completely new. The applications of this go far beyond passing an interview, its a fundamental capability of humans that gets u

Will humanity finally be liberated from memorization? Forcing school children to memorize and then regurgitate facts is barbaric, and so is using it as a measure in hiring.

Yes, this is the model, even though people generally wont speak it out loud within the company.

Shocking when you realize places like Amazon will be one L6 and ten inexperienced devs. The L6 will just absolutely micromanage the low yoe devs. So come up with a design for the whole team, break it into pieces, and then grill them on thei

One word of advice: The more expensive ones are better. You dont need to spend 200$, but the 80$ one is much better than a 30$ one.
