This highlights something I feel like most older people on Hackernews, and generally don't know about modern student life! the amount of university involvement in what's going on in everyone's personal lives has increased sub

If a portion of the population zealously believes that AIs are sentient we could see the same treatment of AI researchers or even software engineers as we've seen in other scientific pursuits by the religious. That's quite scary t

recently I've had a week long internet outage, and it's really put in perspective how much I'd like things to be local. You don't need it until you do.

Hey! I remember reading your previous article on HN about being bootstrapped, and I liked the fun aesthetic of your company :) Glad to hear everyone is safe, best of luck.

No problem, if you're ever out West there's plenty of that! (Or at least much more than I had when I lived in the northeast.) For e.g. near Seattle there's Kendall's catwalk and Wallace falls which are both quite easy +

Yep read animal farm in middle school and it was dope. (Along with Brave New World + Naked lunch which IMO is a bit racier) One of my favorite things about the internet when I was younger was that it let me find books I couldn't get wi

hah, great to read someone else ambling about in the industry. I think at any age/level you can get bit by that hacker ethos, and it seems like you got it ;)

We originally thought that robotic arms would be used for surgery but instead they'll be used to put tater tots in the microwave for 3$ a day so we don't have to pay service workers. Closer and closer to a cyberpunk future every d

Always wanted to start a hackerspace! What's interesting to me about this is that I used to run a student org, and the same principals apply. Was a great learning experience for me, and I think if you're interested in leadership a

Me too, I've heard rumors of like 80% of an engineering team disappearing. How many times can that happen before we end up in a situation where there's no work capable of being done lol.

I think it really depends on how you define the word "nice". On a personal level everyone here (outside of Steve Jobs lol) might be great. I remember when Jeff left senior people who knew him from Amazon seemed genuinely upset, an

Haha same for us in the West Coast offices. I was working with a senior engineer who was shocked we had one of those big machines when we came in to the office.

I have some small insight into this. Often at Amazon you have the "Frugality" principal taking the wheel for short term savings, even with long term massive costs. They're notoriously cheap, think like no free coffee cheap. O

I'm going to add a dimension I don't see often to this. College grad/New Hires are super difficult to onboard remotely. It's already difficult to go from school to a tech job, but add in that you now don't have any

oh no reason, recreational drugs are fine for recreation imo. But when looking at therapies I don’t know if my grandpa with PTSD is looking to blast off on ketamine for therapy every week. (Although to each their own haha)

My personal (unprofessional) opinion is recreational drugs are great for research b/c they're unlikely to kill people, people wouldn't take drugs for that will kill them, and they haven't been able to be researched befor

My professor, Brian L. Stuart, was Inferno enthusiast and wrote a great small book on how it all works (We used it for class.) if you've read all of these his book might be interesting. https://www.amazon.com/Principles
