I’m totally on board with what you’re saying. Unfortunately a lot of tech is far too biased towards a small set of learnable skills that are sometimes hard to demonstrate in an interview setting, and the result is that a lot of good people

In the 90’s when I was at Microsoft it was common for people to ask brain teasers and algorithm questions and expect people to be able to reason through the problems even if they walked in not knowing the particular algorithm or data struct

I don’t think NVIDIA stock is a bubble, but I do think AI hype is overheated and unless we start seeing companies turning substantial profits from all the NVIDIA hardware they’ve purchased, the purchases will slow down. To that point, what

For years I would eat either a half or whole avocado a day. Why would you need to be a vegan/vegetarian to do that? They are fiber and potassium rich with a lot of unsaturated fat, which adds to making them a great “dessert” if you eat

The claim that Tim Cook has let the grass grow under their feet with respect to AI doesn’t match history. Tim hired John Giannandrea away from Google six years ago to lead Apple’s machine learning and AI strategy. He reports directly to Tim

Apple spent $100 billion in R&D over the last five years. They have a stated goal to get to net cash neutral through buybacks, dividends, and investments. They can’t easily pour another $100 billion into R&D in a year and expect to

Buried in what way? Googling “npr lab leak hypothesis” yields dozens of stories published on NPR sites reporting on that theory, primarily quoting WHO and US government reports. I wouldn’t call that burying. You might not like what their so

Search “American Medical Response” and terms like “thousands” and you’ll find story after story of 4-5k bills, some of those from 7+ years ago. Here’s one: https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/16i

Sounds like pure luck. My ambulance was “out of network” (as if I had any choice in the matter) and the charges were “unreasonable” for the services provided per the insurance company. They initially billed me for $7k. I eventually got the

Happy to see this here. I was following Chapel pretty closely back around 2010-2012, but hadn’t paid much attention to its recent evolution. They mention vendor neutrality but I don’t see a mention of which OSes this is supported on, or if

It was a completely custom system built by another internal team at the company I was at. Once word got out, other people copied the system and tailored it for their needs. So it was definitely not a general purpose reusable system. I’ve ta
