kache_··on Linux on the laptop works so damn well that it’s boring

Get a laptop that is sold with Linux. Don't expect Linux to work with literally everything. Drivers.

If you get a modern xps or thinkpad it'll work just fine. But your mom's acer laptop she got from Costco. Maybe not :P

I've had no problems with Nvidia drivers. Running an RTX 3090, doing inferences on stable diffusion and can also fire up steam and play elden ring online

Though, you do need to know how to use a computer to set things up properly.

kache_··on The Next Chapter for Learning on YouTube

I've learned so much from youtube, I've routinely provided tips to people who generate great content. It's awesome to see them invest more into this :)

kache_··on Meta cuts Responsible Innovation Team

Simple enough to trust employees to be conscientious and good

Most engineers I know are responsible and ethical, and have strong moral compasses.

kache_··on Show HN: Simulate dollar-cost averaging in any mix of stocks

Dollar cost averaging is great psychologically

But there's so much randomness in the system it doesn't really matter

Just yeet your money dawg, stop thinking.

kache_··on Biomanufactured materials are coming

The future is now, things keep on improving, and it isn't even hardware.

kache_··on The forty-year programmer

This is a really great video, thank you for sharing. I love hearing older people speak about programming. They're quite rare, since our field is so young.

kache_··on Ask HN: Generalist contractors, what is your hourly rate?

I live in Canada & I've done the spreadsheet math. I can probably ~triple my salary if I go balls to the walls. Insurance is a drop in the bucket (I can just outright buy my drugs). I'm just kinda comfy where I'm at, and I'm having fun at my job.

kache_··on Ask HN: Generalist contractors, what is your hourly rate?

kache_··on John Carmack's new AGI company, Keen Technologies, has raised a $20M round

debatable

kache_··on We need young programmers; we need old programmers

yep. The sooner you come across it, the sooner you start building skills that actually help you become more effective for your effort, like learning how to build teams and managing the social graph of an engineering organization.

We've raised the floor so much in FANG tier companies, that the differential of programming skill isn't what makes you more effective. I mean, save for the top 1% freaks ;P

kache_··on We need young programmers; we need old programmers

Yep. Engineering talent increase due to exposure is a sigmoid curve that tops out after 1-2 years. There are social paper cuts that make you _wiser_, but not a more effective engineer in terms of "things shipped" and "problems fixed"

EDIT: inb4 downvotes roll in to your post because it's an uncomfortable truth

kache_··on Using the same Arch Linux installation for a decade

Precisely. The best part about it (linux distros) is that you can actually fix your issues, while with windows/apple you have to suffer until you get a bug fix, since you don't control the software that runs on your computer

kache_··on Using the same Arch Linux installation for a decade

I love arch linux. It just works. Even with video games. Steam deck is based on it.

Linux really did win desktops. Running on arch for 3 years now.

kache_··on Google’s caste-bias problem

yes. but in that case, maybe also voting with "lawyer getting you a bag"
