Some solar companies did well this year. I’m sure some ETFs claim to try to basket this tech, but I personally think those will always miss the big winners, turn into an AARK with a few good years followed by steep losses, or just do less t

I did some obviously poor googling and couldn’t find this? It’s a private product, not an open source DB?

“People next door you can grow with” how quaint. I feel like I’m listening to a Hobbit from inside the Shire who doesn’t know Mordor has taken over outside. A little boost of positivity.

Hosts were originally people with spare bedrooms or extra buildings. Now they are “professionals” who consider themselves grindset “investors”. They will squeeze every dollar they can out, and as a result the quality has collapsed while fee

Rather 90% or 95% of the effect is probably not due to discrimination. Not 100% of the phenomenon is explained by working less. Be honest.

True, the reductionism is no good. I guess to me I’m tired of discourse that leans towards “universities are places where we make you a complete human”. The real state of things is more what I describe, with a dash of making you deeper. Not

I wish we lived in a society that normalized breaking up or having different forms of relationships and acknowledged how hard it is to spend so long around one person. Instead of this weird situation where we act like staying together forev

That’s exactly what universities are these days. They sell a signal that says “this worker can do the bare minimum you need” called a Degree. We make the worker get certified themselves, but this is the purpose. To act like modern Universit

Probably crippling for them. The scale of materials they use must be astronomical and their retail business has thin margins.

Thanks for that. What a great example of how to actually use these things. You need to almost prime the chain with your prompt, give it some structure towards the particular later chain step you want. It makes a lot of sense that it can’t j

That’s wrong. If you can make it do so, it will make jokes about anyone. See the example “write a function to determine if an engineer is good at their job” and you can get it to return a terrible Python joke of “if gender == male return Tr

It’s true people should just stop. I like the idea that people who like content will stick with it as it gets worse and worse, but once they go over the cliff of being done with it, they never come back. It takes time though.

Also so much of management is personal. Upper management doesn’t have visibility into your day to day and needs to trust you’ll deliver by the deadlines they set for their bosses/customers. It’s hard to trust someone you don’t already

The Chinese Empire is a fantasy. China will remain a great factory and little else. Everything there is still done using personal connections (eg. corruption). The basis of a globe spanning empire this system is not. When all your growth is

The words of Andrew Lahde (who closed his hedge fund up 800% after betting against investment banks in 2008) continue to be not just insightful but downright educational. "I was in this game for the money. The low hanging fruit, i.e. i

Already the world of founders, funding, and venture capital is full of incestuous relationships and shady dealings. I can’t imagine what happens when you combine that kind of capital with the utter shamelessness and obtuse financial enginee

It’s a sense I get from the collection of posts not just this one in particular. Perhaps harsh and hyperbolic. What happened feels like a clash of two worlds - the soft sounding environment of Twitter and the sometimes brutal or cruel envir

Tim Cook is such a chad of capitalism. No scandals, no cheating on his spouse, no useless hail mary projects, no “my rocket is bigger” games, no embarrassing twitter addiction. The guy just wakes up every day at 4am, creates value for share

I’m always amazed how low supposedly smart people’s opinion of animal consciousness is.

The extreme and somehow flowery language in all these posts from Twitter engineers is so indicative to me of some kind of delusional rot. “My team worked SO hard every single day to Change The World, the smartest people on the planet Earth,

This feels similar to one aspect of gentrification. Someone can pay…just not you anymore.

Completely agree. Elon is so worshipped that just him doing this has already emboldened the financial analysts and wannabe founder types to more ruthlessly question total comp numbers and hiring. Everyone who works in technology should be w

Competing and yet also colluding? Corporations want to fulfill consumer or shareholder desires in exchange for money. The CCP wants to dominate you and determine your way of life. They want to tell you what you’re allowed to desire. It’s ve

The laws are voted on by very old people who can’t even use computers at all and probably don’t understand why anyone wants to.

Very well put, it's not even close to the same ballpark. It would also be like moderating a 1 billion user subreddit where nearly every single post is off topic and comes from different users, whereas in subreddits a few super users of

Have you had a best friend you didn’t meet before age 22 (or whenever you finished college)? I imagine it’s the same sort of mechanics at play.

The libertarian leaning, free market lovers on HN won’t entertain your slander. The book Debt really opened my eyes to a flow of logic demonstrating that in fact markets cannot exist without states (laws) and vice versa. That this idea of p

In all these cases learning the math is but one path to the understanding. Not a requirement.
