I have a suspicion that AWS uses some regions as canaries. Because we control both ends of things, I have personally noted that certain AWS functions clearly break in Australia first.

That’s fine but understand the choice. A lot of the housing complaints read like people saying, “my grandmother bought shares in MSFT for $0.12 and now I have to pay $330!” Of course desirable, developed areas with high paying jobs are expe

They are all over the country. No, they don't pay as much as the Bay Area. You wouldn't expect them to.

Engineered is a very careful word choice. None of the properties they call out are things you would not expect from research involving gain of function by evolutionary means.

During my internship, I worked at Evans and Sutherland, which was just off of the University of Utah tech park and was a major part of the UoU graphics world. I worked on what I think was the last generation of E&S image generators. I

I have experience with companies doing their own chips. Often as not what seems like a good idea turns out not to be because your volume is low and your ability to get to high yield dominates and that both takes years and talent. As a rule

Most VR goggles eventually cause pretty significant eyestrain due to vergence-accommodation conflict [1] and other issues all of which get significantly worse the closer to the user the virtual objects are. Apple's display is, I guess,

It is trivial, in the US, for someone to work at the older large tech companies and get over $300k just by staying in the job. Your typical SWEIII is making $220k base with a 20% bonus and gets roughly 50k/3 RSU grants each year. After

It probably was not legitimate. There are wonderful people like you but they are dwarfed by the thousands of scam accounts using this method to try and engineer legitimacy.

The one example of mRNA vaccines that we have has resulted in the viruses by and large mutating away from them and they haven't been adapted quickly.

Exactly. Margin control is the main thing. People who don’t think burning an extra 1% of your ASP on something that doesn’t dramatically move the needle isn’t a massive negative have never built products.

You know, I agree with you in a way. There are plenty of clueless teams that will produce broken software for years. I’ve been working since the early nineties and I’ve seen just incredible garbage and especially vendors who can’t stop them

I can only speak for myself, but their offer was underwhelming and I was easily one of the first five people they called. I’ve founded and exited companies myself, so when I walked them through why the founding SW engineer offer wasn’t wort

I know the founders of an AI chip company that taped out and got working chips on their first go. They got their chip done, it’s pretty solid. Chip has great perf and is super power efficient, a solid delivery. I knew they'd nail it an

Every single startup since maybe 1980 that is not borderline criminal has faced at least one incumbent that is better funded and has, frankly, more talent with better experience. The reason they sometimes win is huge structural or incentive

AMD can't be bothered. They've had literally years to fix the SW issue that allows Nvidia to stomp them in the space quarter after quarter with no fix in sight.

At this point, why not do the clean thing and have a forked repo per dependency. Setting up your "monorepo" like construct is as easy as a gitignore and a json file listing your dependencies and the specific hash, then have a scri
