Quite Close! As you implied it would be expensive to experience the cutting edge right now but here is what it would look like: You would want a really high end headset, a haptic suit, haptic gloves, graphics cards and a pc to run it, and g

Hey if the worst thing the HN comments have to say is "Well, he's no Bertrand Russell." I'd call that a pretty positive reception!

One thing that helped was acknowledging in my own mind that the worst could happen. I could fail completely. I could burn through all my money. I could let everyone down. I could embarrass myself. Whatever the worst was, I considered that c

Boy I really hesitate to offer advice on this. Just know it's coming from someone who is in the midst of starting a not yet successful startup. So maybe this is terrible advice, or I may be the wrong person to give it. Seems like enoug

I'm not super familiar with this space but at first glance this seems great! I've been meaning to goof around with discord bots. When I do, I'll be sure to check it out.

I've listened to a few things lately that could benefit from that. You wouldn't happen to know any good models available for that would you?

With digital goods users can buy. Reddit has already blazed the trail here with awards and reactions you can pay to add to a post or a comment. You can make it completely optional and for the most part not upset users who don't buy the

There is actually an app that I used to setup for people years and years ago that did this. Recently they went fully open source. Pretty neat little piece of software. https://github.com/sandboxie/sandboxie

A few months ago Tyler Cowen had Jimmy Wales on the Conversations with Tyler podcast[0]. He spends some time talking about why he thinks Wikipedia turned out the way it did and avoid some of the potential traps you pointed out. Really enjoy

I've actually been on the lookout for model hubs lately. Any that you've seen or reccomend? I've found https://modelzoo.co/ but it seems more like a currated list of models (some incomplete) rather than a com

> ultimately received over $500,000 and stock options from these outside companies. $500,000 seems like probably a little less than one year salary for a Netflix VP. But then again people have been known to engage in fraud for much less.

This is really what reddit is built for. After I read a book I can't get enough of I'll usually go check on youtube to see if the author has done any interviews or podcast and then I'll look around for the subreddit for eithe

Wow that's really cool. Any plans to share the model?

I have considered doing this exact thing. Any tips? One thing I've wondered about is if there is even any pager network coverage where I live. I suspect yes but I don't know of any coverage maps or that sort of thing.

Firefox on android has support for ad blocking extensions. I removed reddit's app and blocked it in the browser (having an adblocker on mobile is glorious by the way). You could do the same with hacker news and youtube. Then, when you

Just finished the talk. Plan on reading the book. This is one of the most interesting concepts I've come across in recent memory. Really appreciate you sharing.

I like to read. I also find that trying as hard as you can at something you find interesting in a new domain can be good for this. You hone your learning skills but I also find that other domains usually have general tricks and principals w

In the short term you can get used to it. I used to get vr sickness instantly when moving with a joystick but eventually you get used to it. I now have zero vr sickness even when doing crazy physics defying spinning or something. As for the

Well this is fascinating. Thanks for making it. The SEC probably already does this kind of analysis but it makes me wonder if you could look at historical data to see which trades represented the highest gains or most relevant timing. From

I can see what your getting at but I think this applies beyond programming languages. If you're interviewing someone who is into a niche programming language it can be a sign they are more interested in programming than say, someone wh

I've thought about that before. You get the call. "It's 30 minutes away. I'll be there in 10" If anyone happens to know of a career path or company that does that sort of work I would be interested to hear about it.

These types of situations always wind up being the most fun I have at work and leave me feeling most fulfilled. I wish I could do that all day instead of going to standups.

It sounds like you're trying to improve you're ability to focus as much as anything. Consider mindfulness meditation. Essentially you sit in a quiet room and focus on your breath. You'll find this very difficult and your mind

Age discrimination in software does happen but it's not as prevelant as it can seem reading about it online. There are still plenty of jobs for people in software at basically all ages. For now at least the problem tends to be too many
