10x engineers most certainly exist, I've had the fortune of being able to work with a few and their true impact isn't in the code they themselves write but in the higher-level strategic/architectural decisions they make that

Congrats on the launch, a question on the technical side of things -- how much computational overhead does your desktop client incur on the host machine? If you're running CV algorithms locally, would that necessitate higher minimum sy

I have yet to deep-dive into the techical details of Pegasus so this is pure speculation, but if Pegasus demonstrates the feasibility of deploying and executing arbitrary payloads on remote devices without the owner's knowledge or cons

Going with your proposal for a decentralized Airbnb/Uber -- how would you handle dispute resolution and trust mediation without a centralized authority in an IRL setting, off-chain? If you have a bad actor in the system, how would you

I have a few counterpoints to those made in the article: - As much as current developments have made for more accommodating work/social environments for introverts, I wouldn't go as far as to say that "introverts have the upp

Same with the UC system, if you look at the Asian/Asian-American demographic it's in some cases close to double that of comparable non-race blind institutions. When I was going through the college application process in my day, th

I find alternative data to be a fascinating world, your idea reminds me of CargoMetrics which is doing a similar thing in the shipping industry. Just wondering -- if and when you reach the scale where a substantial segment of the supply sid

Former AWS dev here -- the bar is the same but the workloads can be so insane that you meet the requirements faster than anywhere else in the company (there was one engineer that made principal like 5-6 years out of undergrad, which means t

This is just a conjecture, but I think the 280 character limit on Twitter (or whatever it is now) is one of the key culprits behind the trend of deteriorating discourse not just at the societal level but even at a personal level. It's
