We as a community take a strong stance on the issue and categorically decline jobs that are not fully remote. The recruiters I work with know that I don't entertain non-remote work at any salary. Do the same. Join the revolution. Suc

Hey, I have 10 years of experience writing bots/getting information from the internet and I'm interested in this role. Care to discuss this 1on1? I'm not going to submit a resume somewhere that will never be looked at. I'

someone who has all the responsibility of a founder with all the potential upside of barely becoming a millionaire if it ever turns into a unicorn. and you obviously work founder hours for employee compensation.

no. the mind, when at ease - when you truly do not try to think a particular thing - will do its own thing. just like when you're dreaming. deep neural networks have no trouble producing random but coherent content, either.

the first to be laid off usually are local maxima - senior engineers who pull way more than their own weight but appear "expensive" due to seniority. the first round of layoffs so often cripples a company because they make cuts on

the idea to "think aloud" is downright silly. people who "talk to themselves" are labelled idiots. mental dialogue is supposed to be mental. call it social conditioning if you will. spelling out your thoughts for someone

maybe instead of doing this hoopadoop all the time, its time to accept that fulltime employment is a concept that made sense when most workers were doing assembly line things. hire specialized contractors to do the things you need done. ive

you acquire long lasting knowledge by doing. reading only gets you so far. if you want to retain read knowledge, take notes. what you write down is what you will remember.

People pretend that platforms like Moonlightwork turn "developers" into "corner whores". Its quite the opposite. They assume all the operational overhead of running a consulting business and let you code. They empower yo

i think its a fair argument to claim that bleeding edge technology is inefficient during its invention phase. the very first fusion reactors arent all that efficient, either.

dont tell anyone about this, but: all major currencies fluctuate, too. the reason you dont see it is because all other prices are quoted in terms of those currencies. when the price of gold goes up, for example, it may not be gold going up.

thats like saying that the value of gasoline is less than zero because you could just walk the distance without polluting the environment. computing power is inherently valuable. the value of AWS is less than zero because you could just buy

There can be relative WHYs. We will probably not be able to answer why particles exist. But we can tell you why gravity works the way it works. I dont know what ST refers to.

"spacetime geometry" is a mathematical formulation of the physics that happens to correctly describe WHAT is happening. it makes no prediction at all about WHY its happening. einsteins theory does not explain, and does not try to

hes simply confounding the mathematical terminology with which we describe physics - with the actual physics. which is in no way his fault. media present it exactly that way.

the graviton is too small to be observed directly by our machinery. if you can provide a detector the size of the solar system, proving/disproving its existence will be simple. we could derive anything from first principles if we knew

gravity and inertia are 2 different properties of mass. inertia is conveyed by the higgs field. gravity is conveyed by the gravitational field. we know that those fields exist, because we can observe them. if the fields exist, the exchange

the "problem" here is that the graviton "has to" exist. why? Forces have to be conveyed by something. If you want to push someone, you have to physically touch them. you have to REACH them. you cant just push the air, ac
