On what time scale? In a year, sure. But there are certainly days (weeks?) where the actual value produced by any one engineer is zero, or negative. This whole discussion is sort of orthogonal to the real point, though. The state (or the IR

The lone nut is the hard thing to stop because even when they're not focused on super strict operational security, it's unlikely they're telling a ton of people about their plan. The more training they have, the more secluded

This is a big part of why a lot of developers' first 1-3 jobs are small mom & pop shops of varying levels of quality, almost none of which have "good" engineering cultures. Market rate for a new grad dev might be X, it&

Yeah and anecdotally this is what I've noticed in our family and our friends' families at a pretty high percentage.

Funny how "Bitcoin fixes this" has become "AI will break this." I wonder what the next one will be.

It's a spectrum. The OP's approach, with the wrong kid, could very quickly turn home into another (worse) school and wreck the kid for a long time. "Raise kids where they are," taken to the extreme, will teach a lot of k

What is it marketing? I'll admit I didn't read it super closely, but the closest thing I could find was the books that are only available in the US via Amazon but there doesn't seem to be a direct affiliation there. And the r

I see this "yeah well that's an anecdote so let's just ignore it" claim a lot but it doesn't hold water in my opinion. Most glaringly, the article almost immediately links to peer-reviewed scholarly research about t

Are they the same sex? I seem to recall a study where there are some - not huge, but statistically significant - differences in first onset of movement vs. language in boys vs. girls.

Your snarky comment seems to imply I haven't, which you have no way of knowing (and which also happens to be completely false). Perhaps save your wild declarations out of nowhere as well.

Well then you are also bad, of course, because there exist people who are doing worse than you.

I don't think anybody would argue that it's a narrower lens than public school, the argument is that it's better . Not just academically, although that's the case 99 times out of 100. But as you alluded to yourself in t

Don't paternalistically prescribe what others may do with your content after you publish it. If you have strong feelings like that, don't publish it, at least not in a way that is just publicly accessible like a blog.

I would never suggest people join the military to learn how to run a schedule correctly, but I will say that it's hard to find someone who was in the military - and borderline impossible to find someone who was senior in the military

This isn't software, it's a blog article. Different things are different. Can you imagine a book with a page in the front that says "you may use text for graduate course study at an accredited university, but not for undergra

Anyone can say A should mean B, that doesn't mean it's obviously true. Very few services still commercially viable today actually force ads - meaning there is no paid tier available that removes them entirely. I don't parti

As a consumer it seems to me the low hanging fruit for these super-premium offerings is some substantial amount of API credits included every month. Back when API credits were a relatively new thing I used LLMs infrequently enough I just pa

I am willing to pay for up to 2 models at a time but I am constantly swapping subscriptions around. I think I'd started and cancelled GPT and Claude subscriptions at least 3-4 times each.

Exactly, to use the same math from the linked comment, it's less like comparing $500/mo and $50/mo and more like comparing $500/mo for the high net worth folks to $0.05/mo for someone making a more average salary. Y

You call it "willfully [sabotaging] security," I call it "the best alternative that doesn't leave me with a 30% chance of forgetting my password every 60 days." 1Password is smart enough to let me have a secure, non

This is fine for services you can easily access on a phone or computer. My employer requires I change my laptop password every 60 days, it stores the last 2 years of passwords to prevent reuse. I am not opening up LastPass and plugging in

You need evidence to reasonably say they were "likely involved" and I don't think "it's conceivable that it happened that way" really counts as evidence.

I run a marketplace buy-sell type SaaS app that is pretty niched down. Cold outreach is key. We have a handful of competitors so really focused on "building a better mouse trap" then just reach out directly to sellers on competing
