Our CIO was talking about how great ChapGPT is and that we're all using it. Meanwhile its blocked at the firewall so we can't touch it. Even bing.com is blocked now.

Lots of tech jobs pay 150k or less in NYC. I'd think its probably just below median.

If you haven't read about MKUltra its worth a read too. Looks like the CIA helped to make LSD popular in the 60s https://www.npr.org/2019/09/09/758989641/the-cias-secret-que...

One of the problems of digital nomads that come to my town is that they're introverted quiet people that would rather be on HN or reddit than be part of the community. Actually they'll never be part of the community as by definiti

I think you're talking about reverse of QE. This will reduce bank's reserves at the fed, but doesn't affect money supply or retail deposits. When a private investor buys a bond the cash goes to the seller, it doesn't dis

I work for a big corp with a big grad intake. We are RTO 4 days a week and I think its great, lots of young people working together, going out after work. I feel kinda sad for those at home.

They're all faster, more productive and richer environments than modern web apps?

Right, I worked on a async non-blocking project in C++ in the 90s. It was a lot simpler than any modern project, no cloud, no yaml, no containers, no fancy security. Sure it didn't have a pretty web interface but was great software.

Half of Citadel beats the market, the other half are market makers who just make markets and make a steady income from doing so.

Maybe its just not worth it. Lots of people enjoy it, good for them. It doesn't mean everyone will enjoy it or benefit from it. Some people like skinny dipping in the middle of Winter - I dont do that either.

I agree. A lot of talk how high interest rates are but to me they still are stimulative. People seem happy to earn 5% on savings as if its better than 1% with 1% inflation. Inflation will come down soon though as lower oil price filters thr

Can't we all just go back? Seriously every system I've worked on in the last 10 years seems worse in every metric than what I worked on 2000-2010.

Europe needs more babies more than anything. Economically it has many great companies, maybe not so high tech.

I've lived in European cities and American cities. American cities are more car centric and its actually more convenient. Many cities in Europe are so congested and difficult to drive but its by design rather than a bug - it means peo

> conglomeration of the many banks into the few we have today There are still thousands of banks in the USA. I dont really see why there should be more than 100. Canada has 5 big ones and a few dozen tiny ones. Same in UK and Australia.

Thanks. We do get people on simple tasks, I think programming in general is under control. Its the formal side that I think needs some formal training. Ie how to design a database isn't something you get much exposure to when you'
