Except there needs to be natural demand and short enough supply. You’re viewing them like its early 2020 where people were buying up cars and selling them used at a marked up price somehow. People really be trying to treat everything as a p

The rav4 prime has 40 miles on its battery so I wouldn't be too surprised they get the prime out with 40 miles soon.

I actually really wish Toyota kept pushing their plug in hybrids. The Rav4 Prime get 40 miles on its battery and 40 mpg as a small suv is impressive plus 600 miles worth of gas in it. My neighbor pretty much uses most of the battery during

Coming from a saas API startup using REST for everything to a more internal product facing company using Apollo graphql for its core services is weird. On one hand it’s a lot more flexible to return whatever you need on the frontend but on

yep that makes sense. Every job should be contractor status to maintain a flexible labor market. Tech market would've benefited greatly xD

yep I tried asking chatgpt to optimize some SQL queries with a heavy amount of full outer joins. The optimization I was trying to push it to was specifically adding an index on a column or filtering the first table that we join on but it ke

They’ve been a bit over bloated for a while and honestly too many better alternatives out there

by thexumaker 4y ago
To that extent nothing is worthy of humans to do. Nothing we do is truly unique. It only seems unique because we have a poor understanding of it. Might as well not exist or eat or poop because that’s not worthy

thank god, the charging network outside of tesla's supercharger network is terrible. But last time I went on a roadtrip on a popular route up and down i-5 there weren't enough chargers. I can't imagine these supercharger netw

Cmon man literally every well known late stage startup, faang, and even small startups are doing layoffs like this. Your only employment options at this point if you stood to your morales are Apple, Verkada, and Levis’ Jeans Not to mention

They should’ve just maintained what they were doing and not follow in the footsteps of Tesla/Microsoft with their shit implementations

been calling out the AI grift ever since chatgpt launched their stuff. Which I mean chatgpt and the LLM's are really cool and it was fun to mess around with but who the hell thought that this should ever go into any sort of actual prod

lmao as someone who spent a couple months at Walmart global tech, they may be the leaders in retail but they are not stealing Amazon customers. If anything Target, Wayfair, Best Buy, TJ Max etc are taking more market share. Last time I shop

yep, we can also draw some interesting conclusions from the current conflict in Ukraine and that's with a targeted campaign an air defense is only as good as the entire network and system it's built around. The Ukrainian air force

yea those speaking points about the F-35 not doing well in air superiority were mostly russian/chinese misinformation lol. The plane is no f-22 for sure but almost all 4th gen and even 4.5 gen planes would be long shot down before even

ty for actually doing the math. Saying Amazon only hired warehouse workers as part of their headcount doubling was completely bs. Their new grad pipeline alone probably accounted for more than 5-10k hires during that period(Assuming ~20% co

by thexumaker 4y ago
So 3/4 of the main points here are in regards to hiring the right people... Almost makes me wonder if hr teams/operations shouldn't be measured on just headcount but rather getting the right people in

Yep had the same realization a while back building something similar for our internal docs on notion for a hackathon. I realized that if notion just had a better search engine we wouldn’t need anything else built on top

Have people not been watching all the combat footage coming out of Ukraine? The future of combat isn’t in drones or unmanned aircraft even though Ukraine has been effective in the war with them. But end of the day war is about coordination

yep. Literally with so many people reneging, working multiple jobs, doing what's required of them, a company has no loyalty to their engineers. The opposite is also true, an engineer shouldn't have too much loyalty to their compan

I will say there for sure is a certain percentage of administration at most public colleges that should be cut. Coming from the UC system, there are wayyyy too much bureaucratic bloat. But at the same time they do provide a lot of support e
