What’s the details here? Seems like they’re getting the same elite jobs as always and think of people like me as insects/“NPCs” that have no merit?

I challenge the premise. They’re doing fine. They’re getting $600k a year to work at OpenAI and HRT

Hilarious implication that this visa is a new phenomenon

MIT graduates are not going to be struggling for anything, much less for new grad jobs. They're among the most privileged humans to exist on earth by nature of their degree and admission.

Im playing BG3 right now and im very impressed. Also feel this way about New Vegas is a league beyond the Bethesda Fallout games.

Might be the greatest game ever made. I was raving like a lunatic about it to a friend in public once and a guy next to us turned around and interrupted me to say it’s the only game he’s ever played because he felt no other games could top

This pattern of extending the peripheral aspects of elite undergrad into high school and after actual undergrad seems…wrong. I disliked the Google cultural tendency of trying to mirror grad school but this seems worse.

Im sold, but it appears there isn’t a single place in my major metro of 7 million that will offer in store demo and purchase? Do they not want my money?!

What I've noticed is he sounds a lot less measured and more jittery now than he did before. I remember videos of talks he did in the early 2000's and his zero to one lecture series that were pretty smooth and articulate, his inter

I think Anduril's mission is great but I'd never work for a man who directly funded fascism in my own country. Would be cool if there was a more woke defense contractor that wasn't captured by institutional rot like Raytheon

I chatted with someone on the language side of the project (I believe the same project) and it was fascinating how ambitious the concept was. I do wish it was finished or open sourced though

I’m honestly skeptical of the utility of the Fremont as the specs currently appear. Seems like not enough horsepower compared to the competitor consoles - the Steam Deck was so good because price to performance to battery life is still hard

How do you know someone worked at Google? Don’t worry, they’ll tell you

Interesting. My assumption was one of the innovations of DeepSeek and the modern GPT models was performing low precision pretraining rather than just finetuning further. I didn't realize you still need accumulation at a higher precisio

Isn't the new trend to train in lower precision anyway?

I’m still surprised the steam deck runs so well even with games installed to microSD - I’m not sure how they do it.

You're making a great case to shut all of them down and shun the graduates

Seems fair. Stanford isn't in the business of conferring education. It's in the business of conferring status. Public funds shouldn't pay any tuition costs for anybody that attends Stanford as an undergraduate. I'll admi

I don't really have an opinion on working that much, but working that much and having to go into the office to spend those long hours sounds like torture.

The Apple Store used to be the embodiment of everything I didn't have when I was growing up - status, the lives the people in the sample pictures had, any sort of individual money or agency - now I have an Apple Store in walking distan

It’s mass affluence. People are just willing to pay $30k+ new now - something that was a lot rarer even 10 years ago.

Dude, going to a state school isn't a nontraditional path.
