Women get an absolute deluge of interest - when I was dating it wasn't uncommon for me to see women with inboxes with 10k plus messages/likes. There's definitely an aspect of "just pick the hottest 2 or 3 people you&#x27

Looks like you're right - I've only been on the buy side of this equation. The company has regular tender offers but that's significantly less liquid than my earlier comment implied.

You’d be surprised. I got an absolute boat anchor of a 2019 MacBook when I started a job in early 2022. I requested a new one in late 2023 because company policy is to refresh laptops every 4 years - whoever was on the other end of my suppo

Can you go into more detail on this? I’ve been putting together the data pipeline for an ASR fine tune but your approach sounds more interesting.

There's a graphic illustrating the typographic homogenization of a bunch of fashion houses in the late 2010s early 20s like you described in the article below. It's come full circle and there's been a return to maximalism and

The whole cycle of aesthetics is about signaling and countersignaling. This whole "look" is also about what it _isn't_ (bright, sterile, sans-serifs, weird corporate memphis purple squiggly people). It's part of the reas

It seems like you’re dramatically overcomplicating what could be a 2 bash scripts and a single LLM call. Natural language and LLMs are great for searching the problem space to find a solution, once you find the solution, shrink the stochast

I'd love to own SpaceX - what I don't want to own is all the unprofitable, toxic dogshit its ketamine-addled CEO folded into it that has nothing to do with putting stuff into orbit or selling Starlink.

Hilarious how this guy treats the “confession” as some sort of smoking gun rather than the exact same stochastic slot machine that enabled him to score an own-goal on his prod database.

Not to well actually your well actually but they’re all anodized to prevent corrosion and scratches (the oxide layer is harder than the underlying aluminum) - the silver one is just undyed.

As much as I detest having to look at ads or being "influenced" in any way, shape or form, I think the opportunities for exploitation with what you just described is potentially orders of magnitude more harmful. Sure, let me just

You can buy jigs to complete what are called 80% receivers with a drill press (and (optionally a router) - could do it on your kitchen table in an evening for a couple hundred bucks.

I hope cerebras figures out a way to be worth the premium - seeing two pages of written content output in the literal blink of an eye is magical.

Ignore the numbers - the gist is being good enough at the right two or three things can create similar value for you as being the best at one specific thing. Everyone (for the sake of my argument) wants to be an engineer at a FAANG but ther
