Agreed. And if more high income professionals pursued this path, it would tip the balance of power in the workforce away from employers. That's a win for all except those at the top.

Keep in mind that for me it was before the FAANG companies became the new evil tech overlords, and to some extent even before the Great Financial Crisis of 2008. Back then it was much easier for naive young college students or new grads to

This article has a narrow definition of passive income, limiting it to these low-barrier-to-entry schemes. Other parts of the FIRE world have emphasized being a landlord or flipping houses, for example. I personally made it happen by workin

Shouldn't this be great news that the government is banned from using Anthropic? I don't know why suddenly the narrative here turns to spinning this as "Trump is evil" when this is actually keeping the AI company out of

That was the whole point -- it was fixed early on by killing the tank, rendering the exploit useless, which is why you never see it in games anymore. Search on YT for the tank glitch.

Not at all. Network issues make everything in games more complicated, not just bullets going through doors. Everything in games can be complicated: physics, doors, AI, network. Even the first line of that video description. I think that jus

I watched the video again. Still don't see what the big deal is. For example... NPCs blocking doors? Don't put NPCs there, and tell AI to avoid door zones rather than trying to make them know how to move out of the way when doors

How should I respond if I tell them it's a warmup that shouldn't take more than 10 minutes, and they're still having trouble? Isn't that going to demoralize them?

We don't explore it from every angle. I try to speed them up by saying things like "first 3 months have 31/28/31 days, and use '...' for the remaining days so you don't have to write it out. A few candidat
