Just look at the testimonials at the bottom of introduction page, there are at least a dozen companies such as Replit, Cursor, and Github that have early access. Perhaps the GP is an employee of one of these companies.

People like Elon suggest 120 hrs or 996 for the employees that work under him implementing his ideas-- the people rolling up their sleeves and putting hammers to nails. Most of the people in an org do not need to be involved in deep level t

> Capex vs opex That's part of the problem, but I also notice the new hiring managers are incentivized to hire (or replace) employees to make their mark on the company. They then advocate for "their guys" the ones they rec

Interesting I had the same problem and suffered in grades back in school simply because I couldn't memorize much without understanding. However, I seemed to be the only one because every single other student, including those with top g

I'm going back and forth between Windsurf and Github Copilot right now. Windsurf's development iteration speed is much fast and features are added faster. For example, Github only autocompletes based on what file you have opened i

Warren Buffet has warned about the trade deficit problem since 2003 and has proposed an alternate solution called "import certificates" where exporters could earn them and sell them to the importers who must use them. This would r

It was a problem to Warren Buffet and he used a parable in the past to explain the issue: A perpetuation of this transfer will lead to major trouble. To understand why, take a wildly fanciful trip with me to two isolated, side-by-side islan

I also completely forgot that Qmodem isn't the protocol but the software. My first PC was an IBM XT 8088 with 20MB HD and 2400 baud modem. Twice as fast as a 1200 baud and the number of floppy disks it could fit in that hard drive! Now
