When I was 24 and living in the Bay Area I had a ~2 hour commute (15 min walk + ~1.5 hour or so bus, so simpler than yours) for 6 months. My schedule was almost the same as yours - wake at 6am, bus at 6:45am, work, bus at 5:15pm, home at 7:

He didn't link to his mastodon at all, did he? Twitter is one of the reasons I became an engineer - I was able to follow and see the mutterings of indie game devs in Copenhagen (vlambeer, if anyone knows them). 15 year old me responded

I built this basic HTML website over the course of a couple hours by using almost exclusively https://beta.openai.com/playground . What a transformative tool - I probably would have spent as much time reading CSS examples to

I remember Hollywood Video! When I was in High School my family and I subscribed to their monthly rental plan, lots of good memories there.

Here is an unedited transcript with OpenAI's GPT-3. My prompts are peppered throughout, but I believe them to be obvious. /START Please list some microservices I would have to create in order to implement a system to recommend a d

Can we discuss teaching post ChatGPT+? I'm considering giving my local high school system a call to raise awareness. When I was in college 10 years ago I abused Wolfram Alpha for some math work, but this is a whole different level and

I'm aware of iCloud in China. If a user chooses not to use cloud, could this mechanism still allow protestors sharing videos to be identified? EDIT: Or is this mechanism only for giving Apple the green light to pop open images already

Maybe I'm confused but the new CSAM-hash-comparison thing runs on-device, right? Or no EDIT: Yeah looks to be on-device (page 4): https://www.apple.com/child-safety/pdf/CSAM_Detection_Techni...

It's hard to know for sure if this is real, but I wouldn't be surprised. If this is happening, I hope Apple says no to the CCP when they inevitably ask Apple to do the same. Could Apple use that new CSAM-hash-comparison feature to

With all of the recent discussion around phones as a threat to society, or a new smoking, I thought I'd share this film. It skewers TV culture and its effect on people, and is still referenced today.

The movie Network ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_(1976_film) ) famously skewered TV culture and its effect on people. It won several oscars, and is still referenced today.

Yeah exactly. What the original commentor is hoping for is a reset to a previous point in time. Which would be nice in many of ways they've outlined, but isn't possible. Imagine if a large corrupted and bloated city could simply n

Exactly. At a different tech company, I was shocked how much of my team's effort went into configuring specific instances of cassandra and kafka clusters. There are simple webapps, but as you scale up it completely changes. Scale is no

They also unabashedly call to increase the buybacks in the face of imminent recession.

Maybe I misinterpreted it, but didn’t SBF himself say it was all built on hype and a ponzi, at least based on this interview with him back in April? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-04-25/sam-bankm

So roughly 20 years from now, after taking on a country-wide new baby-boom's worth of problems, they can use the fresh faces to resolve the problems they're facing today. How the one child policy was allowed to happen is a mystery

A lot of the labor inflation is in markets affected by the retirements of the older generation, and Tech is famously young. There's also labor inflation in markets suffering drain to ones where demand is growing (healthcare etc), but I

Yup, I did the same thing, for the same reason, about 3 months prior to this twitter thread.

20ms each way is 40ms, or 2.5 frames of lag if you’re playing at 60fps. Pretty noticeable.

Race to the bottom, as in the price of labor was racing to the minimum. Not really ironic, people with little other opportunity will be the happiest to work for the least. I’m not prescribing right or wrong to the situation, just what is

Wages are too high, because our entire economy is built on the backs of available race to the bottom international labor. Demographics and the security situation is changing this, and the establishment (for better and worse) is absolutely f

In his defense, the last time I checked 50% of their revenue is from the US government which probably isn't going anywhere any time soon. Compare that to something like Apple which depends on selling buttloads of complicated devices

Hey I’m in KY at a FAANG too! Happy to take the pay cut, I don't see how I could have the life I want in the Bay even at 100% pay. I’m buying later this year, really thankful I grew up in a place where I can easily settle down, and I’m
