That's nice, I just completed it at full price and it felt like extortion.

Wow, great detailing on the cleftal horizon. It's interesting to see this expressed mathematically in this way.

AirBnB somehow swung from consistently being better than hotels to always worse. Now I am just back to getting hotels, which is fine I guess, but it was nice while it lasted. I was a big AirBnB booster so it was disappointing to see this jo

I did it by being excited to do jobs others didn’t want. At the time, it was build/release engineering.

Are the current capability features fully self driving (FSD)? I don’t have a Tesla but was under the impression they are not. If not presumably they could argue that they never received what they subscribed to.

There’s a good new podcast called The New Gurus from the BBC which explores this.

People here often talk make statements expanding on the original article and I was curious, but in any case thanks for confirming this is a US-only thing. Makes sense.

Where are you referring to where there are only two city types? I live in the Netherlands, neither of the two existing models you describe sound familiar in any countries around here, although our cities were certainly designed in a low tec

I realise we are both sharing anecdotes, but I was at GitLab from about 250 employees to 1500 or so. It was all remote from the beginning, and it definitely wasn’t all senior, fully ramped employees with pre-established work social networks

You could still work on diverse things, but do it within your normal work day. I don’t think being a jack of all trades necessitates overwork or being taken advantage of (though it certainly could, but so could a deep expert who doesn’t hav

You can describe yourself as open to help wherever you can, and then give diverse real examples.

I tried hiring on these traits in the past, one challenge there is that almost everyone self-identifies as this kind of person (and it’s probably even true, to an extent.) It’s hard in the end to evaluate effectiveness of T-shaped people ac

Vim enlightenment for me was learning to use it with all the default settings. Everywhere I go, it’s already set up just the way I like it.

How will they be able to keep purely AI-generated outputs from being fed back in as inputs? That seems hard to separate out once it’s published and not attributed. The ability of AI to generate lots of output means it might swamp human or c

The next AIs will be trained on vast swathes of low-quality AI-generated outputs, if they are trained on public data again. Presumably people will have to come up with ways to work around that or the AI will be training to produce outputs l

You’ll need to pair it up with a super fast laser printer to be able to get it all properly code reviewed.

One in ten turns being told to do the wrong thing sounds incredibly annoying. Maybe if you’re driving on the highway for long stretches, but otherwise that would be awful.

Having been poor and worked for these kinds of companies, they tell wonderful stories about how much money you can make. They don’t tell anyone that they structure the work so that almost nobody makes anything approaching what’s theoretical

That’s fair, though isn’t the combination of people who believe those things plus also want their car purchase to explicitly signal their socially conservative political views (if we assume that actually is the strategy at work here) still

Of the people who love culture wars and hate liberals, and yet at the same time also believe in climate change and want to buy an electric vehicle, aren’t they much more likely to buy the new electric f150? In general this combination of be

Something where you make a business that takes minimal commitment so you can spend your time on the beach. The actual business seems to be taking photos of yourself on the beach and making money as an influencer, while telling people you ma

Influencers are selling a dream, which can be a part of the big picture, but you have to remember, much like the people who used to sell pamphlets on tv about how to get rich, you have to ask yourself why they are selling pamphlets instead

I definitely dreamed of more powerful computers, but working using libraries that wrap libraries that wrap libraries (and on and on) and never needing to think about the hardware was not something I really anticipated. There’s something nic

Why would the locals be happy with too many party tourists, but only as long as they sleep in their cars out in front of their houses and not in hotels? I’m not following the connection.

I have a blue ray dvd player and the quality seems.. fine. I don’t really know. It’s quiet as well, and I always put my dvds away where they go. And anyway, it’s not really competing with Netflix since I sort of gave up on Netflix because i
