Waymo saved my life in LA. When I visited LA, I rode in a Waymo going the speed limit in the right lane on a very busy street. The Waymo approached an intersection where it had the right of way, when suddenly a car ignored its stop sign and

Hard science fiction isn't known for the quality of its prose. I'm reading something like Starship Troopers or The Martian because I believe the technology and culture depicted in the setting is interesting.

It's trivial to move to the USA on a TN1 from Canada compared to any other visa category. If you have a job letter, you show up to the airport and CBP can issue it immediately. This includes software development which is responsible fo

The regulation is single family zoning. Zoning makes it impossible to stack high rise apartment buildings in the areas that people want to live in.

Countries subsidize rural living because it enforces their control over the frontier. The United States is difficult to invade because of the oceans surrounding it and the many people with guns in the interior that'll take shots at arm

Roblox didn't have server functions until 2014 and they weren't mandatory until 2018. Anything the client did automatically replicated to every other client. That meant I could attach Cheat Engine to Roblox, edit memory addresses

It is a pitch perfect interpretation and I assumed that's what OP was going for. Manna (2010) read very similarly.

Your polishing work made a difference! The prose is like every other work of science fiction I've read. It's written like this is a dystopia but billing $180/45 minutes in rural low cost of living area sounds awesome. And the

A lot of senior engineering problems aren't gated by experience but by being trusted to coordinate large numbers of juniors. Now that as a junior, I can spin up a team of AIs and delegate, I can tackle a bunch of senior level tasks i

You can increase LLM inference throughput by using smaller batch sizes but that scales non-linearly in practice. It probably isn't worth it unless your model provider makes it really easy.

It's your God-given right as an American to get millisecond level price discovery. Trading delays sounds like Communist bureaucracy.

Blame lossy compression to save bandwidth. There's no way to legally stream in Blu-ray quality.

C++ almost never removes features because of the ABI compatibility guarantees. Programs compiled with older versions of the standard can be linked against newer versions. This is allegedly because in the 80s companies would write software,

It's impossible to get a job nowadays so new grads will do anything to stick out. You don't really understand the desperation we're going through right now. OP wants to be visited by the feds.

Do you see the broader point I'm making, which is that non-zero interest rates means delivering value isn't enough anymore?

I like Simutrans more because the cargo and passengers have destinations in mind. TTD and OpenTTD do not which incentivizes mechanisms to dump everyone at the edge of the map. Aside from that they're both transport games with bad UIs.

If the company is spending $100k to employ you, you need to deliver $103.8k/year of value.

In a zero interest rate environment, literally any return on investment justifies spending. If interest rates are 3.8%, the company needs at least a 3.8% return every year on your yearly compensation to justify your job.
