I think its just a huge burden that certain states are putting on people along with dramatically increased cost of living due to insane govt spending. People are really hurting right now and tempers are short. - Housing has gone up 50-60% i

AI is just the hot "trend" tech is riding the wave on, lets go back a bit: - The Cloud - Big Data - Self Driving cars - ML (same as AI but more about chatbots) - AI -> I know when Matthew McConaughey is wearing a cowboy hat shi

agree, but also slightly disagree. I was here last year and alot of these geysers erupt like clock work(see Old Faithful). Yellowstone pulls in many tourists from Asia and Europe and and also urban areas of the US and there is nothing like

This sets a scary precedent regarding reporting and the capture of history in general. If all of a few decades worth of music history disappears due to a companies financial health(no company is around forever). We basically lose that data

Uber owns the thing that the taxi companies don't have, a complex, real time transactional application that pairs drivers with riders. They can pick and choose who they want using it(sans discriminatory, see - illegal checks). And they

People act like this stuff is magic. When Biden came into office he pushed the build back better plan(luckily Manchin did not vote the largest portion of the bill) - 6.25 trillion even though Trump had already pushed a huge stimulus package

exactly, I mean Boeing can't even make planes with doors that don't fall off in flight. I wouldn't look to Boeing for any engineering excellence in 2024.

I can't think of a larger moat in any industry where the leader has such a gigantic head start than spaceX. The "old guard" is so far behind why would the US Govt. or NASA give those companies any money now as it would be aki

I read a book called "Brain trust" last year about prion diseases being the cause of massive increases in Alzheimers cases. The idea was intriguing but one fact the author mentioned was about how the US does not test meat in decen

yeah my numbers were more focused towards smaller yards that alot of folks have in the sf bay area. For me I am on 1/3 acre in Colorado with about 33% of it grass, it takes about 30-40 mins to mow and edge it and after I fixed the dead

A few things you can do to reduce costs, my family does this and hope it helps others. - Gardening/yardwork - We do all this ourselves, its exercise and gets you outside, plus you have made something better in the physical world(I work

What user defrost said. Also $1M is quite hard to do, that would indicate a salary(single not married in my example) of a principle engineer at FANG* or Sr. Director and there are very few of those around. Or you could be a Staff engineer a

That is quite good and comparable to IB(investment banker) salaries. Meaning a few years ago $200k by 22, and incrementing $100k a year with $1M by age 30, and $10M by age 40 or so. The starting salaries out of college are now about $350k.

So many things here. Lets talk pay, US tech workers, lets just say Sr SWE and up, and lets look at SF as the author uses this as a focal point. Salary is roughly $300-400k a year(in SF FANGish company), in Europe or England its about half o

A friend(neighbor) lived in Austin, alot of bad trends happening right now. You mentioned power and that made the national headlines, but they also said weather(extremely hot) was why they moved, I think it was like 40 straight days where i

I think you are 100% spot on. The socal buyer right now is a mix of SF/norcal deep pocketed tech employees(see my other post on this article) and just folks that are extremely desperate to buy a house, ie. they are cashing out everythi

I had a similar experience while in college, although not as dramatic! While studying CS I was working on problems every night late into the night. I came a across a issue I could not figure out, and went to sleep frustrated. That night I h

Highly recommend watching "room 237" a documentary about the shining, some of it veers into speculation but one interesting take was that Kubrick in the film specifically lets Stephen King know that this is his vehicle(the movie)

by subsubzero 2y ago
I like each in their own way, I may be more biased towards Kubrick as I consider the Shining one of my top 3 movies of all time. Lynch may be the ultimate auteur in making a certain type of movie or tv show that really no one else was makin

Agree, I believe Elon gave $50M or so in 2018 with the intent that giving this money to the non-profit openAI was going to benefit people with open access to AI systems. Sam Altman has completely thrown out any semblance of law and how non-

I really want to know why you liked it, reason I ask is I came into the movie wanting to love it and couldn't finish it(ended it half way). I just disliked it so much. For me: the story seemed so childish(like a middle schooler wrote i

agree, Dune for me was one, Inception being another. I liked Moon(small budget but excellent), interstellar was ok. And thats about it.

I'm really excited about this movie, its f/x and renderings of the buildings, world and technology are the stuff of sci-fi dreams. And I am saying this as die hard fan and lover of the books and also a fan of the David Lynch movie

Just another ill advised "solution" from this administration. What the drafters of this bill don't understand is you have a huge percentage of unlivable space in the middle of every floor(no windows!). There are building code

I have been saying this for years but google is probably the most dysfunctional and slowest moving company in tech that is only surviving by its blatant search monopoly. Given that OpenAI a tiny company by comparison is destroying them on A
