Who is buying these at 70% of new pricing given the sky high likelihood of them being shot? Maybe it's safe to buy from small labs that went under quickly, but I can't imagine a cluster that has been operating near its thermal li

When I tried warp I was convinced that was where the industry was going (agents as terminal replacement), but it felt a bit too heavy to me so I haven’t been using it lately. Still think all things will converge on terminal and browser rep

(1) be naturally gifted, (2) avoid falling down wells of distraction, (3) be lucky. Don’t sleep on (3), it’s easy to call it capitalizing on opportunity in hindsight when it was honestly just luck.

Person 1 made every deck exactly the same way though. I guess Person 2 could run some simple validations of what Person 1 initially did. Then again, Person 2 could have also replaced all of Person 1s decks with their own.

You may be referring to PayPal as one of those companies, but in case you’re not: Elon did not found Tesla.

Then frankly you weren’t paying attention. This was all laid out in Project 2025 and there were plentiful ties between it and Trump despite his deflection.

My industry? My industry is tech, where I got paid 7 figures for years and years doing fuck all to benefit society. It’s pretty telling that you just assumed someone defending a marginalized group was a member of that cohort. Are there im

People will absolutely lose their labs over this, please stop spreading lies either intentionally or from a place of ignorance.

Oh good, it’s just grant proposals so only some people will lose their labs due to the idiotic politicization of the NIH. This pushes back study sections by months even if they do resume on Feb 1. You can’t just schedule x leading researc

Except middle America, where the populace would find a reason to be distrustful of a straight up cure.

Someone very close to me had their study section next week cancelled with no further comms. They are already fucking up grants. Please everyone, educate yourselves on this; the sky actually is falling this time.

Engineering crushing stress from existential threats of my own creation is just about the only productivity trick I have. It works at least.

If someone sends me an multi-thousand line CR, I'll review it and give them impactful feedback. I may miss some details, but I guarantee I'll miss close to all of the details if that is split over 40 CRs. I wouldn't want to

I just think the people who whole-heartedly believe in such "best practices" (and much more so the people who succumb to them) help justify my salary.

[at a FAANG] Just the other day my director chastised his directs for "letting low performers leave without getting fired," which is something I had yet to hear get broadcasted to a full room of people. The company's leaders

I would wager some of it is from unconscious bias since he is already positioned as a criminal before you even even see the photograph. Your brain wants to tell itself that it can identify such criminals so it picks up on what it can. The

I was responding in a sub-thread about risks/opportunities associated with sequential IDs with an anecdote on opportunities.

by lightbendover 3y ago
Years ago I wrote a library that would exaggerate sequential IDs to make our SaaS platform appear more popular than it actually was to anyone trying to pay attention. Not sure if I’m proud of the hack or embarrassed. But of both I suppose
