Also, a few years ago I had teams in multiple countries (South East Asia, India, Easter Europe, Western Europe, East and West Coast), all well paid (but not at FAANG levels). While their capacity was roughly similar, the West Coast ones wer

The stock exchange and the tariffs are not the battleground. Asia started dropping US treasury bills. 30 year bills reached a max in decades Trump blinked. Edit: this was front and center in Financial Times, WSJ three hours ago. Now suddenl

I love it, but not 100% sure you can keep it in your bag, as ventilation would restrict cooling. So, if you have to pull everything out of the bag to play and wire it up, is this form factor practical for travel? PS: I spend lots of time in

Just for reference: - 21% of adults in the US are illiterate in 2024. - 54% of adults have a literacy below a 6th-grade level (20% are below 5th-grade level). I would argue than everyone who is stuck a below 6th grade understanding of a lan

If you want to know the full picture: neither Feynman is a hero of mine (I personally think he was a bright prick), neither the original piece stirred any important ideas rather than “wow, this guy is full of self importance”. To further c

I think a better approach is to have a separate machine as a local server for specialized loads - be it rendering, LLMs, or whatever. For daily drivers I agree with the author, fresh machines can last almost a decade. Browser, productivity,

I think that if you want to work for somebody else, such broad experience can be a bit of a burden. HR people want to pigeonhole you in a 2 line paragraph to know which profile you fit. So I try to make it easier for them… I work out indust

My take is the pandemic forced a lot of people who did not use much Skype into Teams, Zooms, etc. Then WhatsApp joined in too. A much bigger number of people that had never heard or used Skype by 2018 were VC jockeys in 2020. The critical
