This is because humanoid robotics is a hard and unsolved problem. But it isn't for lack of trying. Order taking is a simple and very much solved problem. And kitchen robotics is more assembly line esque than warehousing.

Red/Blue politics aside, I'm fairly certain the inflationary issues you're seeing today can be root caused to loose fiscal policy from the Trump era. Biden inherited those issues and can be held accountable to fixing them, bu

Sequoia never figured out their edge in the enterprise world. They likely won't fall from grace since they're still investing in the space, but their filter is certainly poorer than their other areas of investment.

Funny. I think I trip the filter on generally distrusting people, but not because I assume they're lying. I mostly distrust people because most people love to talk and give advice on things they aren't knowledgeable enough to be t

I think you're misunderstanding my comment because you aren't reading it in context of the parent. Those are all points why big tech will be fine without open source software. I.E. if the entirety of the OSS community disappeared

Meta uses its own php called hack. Nothing is shared with php oss. Google and Meta both have their forked versions of Cpp and python. Plus if they're closed source they will just buy it. Pytorch and tensorflow are from FANG. Without OS

I've been in big tech. They rarely use anything from OSS and usually have their own internal version long before OSS has an offering. Big tech will have no problem thriving without OSS. Their business models and execution aren't r

CMU is the same. The School of Computer Science had an an undergraduate admit rate 1 or 2% higher than Princeton when I attended. But agree that I only saw a handful of students at CMU who were accepted into MIT or Stanford. And they usuall

Full disclosure, I'm a CMU alum. I think this article chose CMU because for Computer Science and technical startups, it's well understood in the valley that CMU is a top 4 school (and for many, a top 2 school) for producing softwa

Hey Eddy, Arrow also allows you to serialize to disk and then utilize mmap. Compared to Parquet, the downside is that the design of Arrow makes it so storage requirements increase. If you're borrowing elements of Arrow's layout, d

I don't think you'd print money just by telling people if a dependency is hard or easy to install though. You'd need to actually solve the problem of getting the dependency installed or suggesting some alternative solution th

I'd love to see it too, but don't you think the sentiment is a little entitled? Meta is a private company that can do whatever it wants and Zuck doesn't need to justify anything. He's also not being too egregious here. H

This isn't as nefarious as everyone makes it out to be. There are articles that state Meta has hard data that people who start as Remote workers at Meta significantly underperform those that don't. In light of that data, they&#x27

This sounds eerily like the same response the SVB & Lehman CEO gave right before they went under.

Unfortunately not. I just interviewed around for VPE roles at Series B companies, and they aren't even able to be competitive with non-Director compensation at FAANG.

What I've come to realize is that everyone likes to say they stopped using it, but the reality is that they actually do still use FB. They just aren't as active posting their own updates. But they are engaging in the platform, com

Carvana likely has very few engineers. Most of the employees are in operations facilitating car purchasing, inspecting, pricing, etc.

Stripe has barely trimmed their internal valuation. Their best public comp, Square, has lost 80% of it's market cap since the peak. Stripe on the other hand, has trimmed theirs 22%. The people most hurt by this are employees at refresh

Actually, everyone is underwater on RSUs. We do 4 year vesting so even people who started 5 years ago are vesting their stock from 4 years ago.

Apple has access to all data it blocks from other ad networks by virtue of you owning an iPhone. It uses this data in its DSP. One effect of Apple locking down privacy was to create a unique monopoly on data for itself and its an advantage
