Point is the dropoff outside the city limits. NYC salaries are mostly comparable to SF at this point, while you can buy a home under $500k still within an hour commute to the city. That's a fantasy in the Bay.

Right, you can live the "single guy in an apartment" life with a hellacious commute still for sure. Add a family or any desire to ever own a home and you can forget it though.

You just can't live in the Bay anymore, that's all there is to it. It'd be great if you could. But anything within a 2 hour commute requires a minimum of $200k salary to survive, let alone get ahead. Unless you're inheri

I think men in this day and age have been hoodwinked just as much as women when it comes to the career vs. family debate. For a man there is truly nothing more important in life than having a family and providing for them. It is what we are

Yeah it seems dang has some kind of nether region to vanish these types of discussions to. Shame, seemed to have really hit a deep nerve.

It's a good thing the HBO show ended when it did, as it was becoming increasingly clear by that point that the depravity depicted was not even close to the extent of reality, and it wasn't funny or quirky anymore, just dark and bl

Yeah but it's like saying "Masterlocks will always be easy to pop off with a hammer". Of course, but by doing so you are actively engaging in fraud, which then puts the onus on you and whoever you are attempting to deceive.

>"Largest" is just straight-up a false claim. Largest in terms of takeoff weight. Wingspan is a pretty meaningless metric for "largest aircraft". By that logic the planes you linked are larger than a 737.

Maybe play around with CPU inference on smaller models too. Frontier models are probably overkill for simple language responses at this point; I suspect you could get pretty good results with Qwen doing this, and Kokoro TTS is really good n

Hudson Valley real estate is the best kept secret in the US. Plenty of places with good schools and a sub-1hr train commute to Manhattan can be had for under $500k still. Westchester is cooked, but add 15-30 mins north to your commute and i

This is the best advice I've read on HN in a long time. Kudos to those with FU money who can ignore it, but this is how you stay employed and thrive in a corporate environment.
