Dollar short and a day late. The future of the US tech industry belongs to those who weren't interested in performative woke nonsense like this during the last decade.
Yeah, I'm in the same position. Once you "get" web dev it becomes kind of a grind. Like it's not that intellectually stimulating, but there's just a lot of work that needs to be done and you have to devote just enough brainpower to it that it becomes annoying. And then there's the fact that everyone is saying that AI is going to automate the shit out of us in a few years. It's got me feeling like I'm wasting my life.
Interesting how many comments here say that a big issue with pot is that it makes you "unmotivated". I suppose this is a problem for people who are in tough spots in life and are using pot as a form of escapism. But besides this, what exactly do we need to be motivated for? Grinding away harder at a corporate job? At a certain level "motivation" can be counterproductive and you might be better off slowing down and appreciating your life as it exists now - something that weed can help with in my experience.
As a total noob, is there any reason to believe that DeepSeek's breakthroughs would not also be subject to scaling laws? If these breakthroughs can be scaled, then the big market rout seems premature IMO.
I quit social media, but the problem is that in the modern dating world a lot of people care whether you have an Instagram and that sort of thing. I truly hate social media, but I find myself considering remaking it just to improve my dating life. It's kind of a depressing situation, to be honest.
The point about re-evaluating expectations after breaking up really resonated with me. 6 months ago I broke up with my girlfriend after months of being unhappy with certain things in the relationship. Now, 6 months later, I can say that this was one of the worst decisions, if not the single worst decision, I ever made in my entire life. Turns out, that relationship was pretty ideal for me in many ways, and I should have tried to resolve the issues I had rather than bottling up my dissatisfaction and letting it eventually boil over. I now have a much better idea of what I want out of life and what I'm looking for in a relationship. I just wish I could have learned that lesson without causing someone so much pain and then going through so much pain myself.
Can anyone in the know explain to me how they are able to achieve such a massive jump in data transmission speed with each generation? Is there some theoretical limit here or will we get to the Petabyte range with 7G?
Google is a conventional company. They may not have intended to become one, but now they are among the most conventional of all companies - layoffs, cost cutting, offshoring, killing products left and right, I could go on. It's a goddamn shame.
Fair enough. But I think that former executives should also be looked at, too. Otherwise, the incentive becomes to trash the company for short term profits and GTFO before shit hits the fan.
In my experience most technical interviews were done on whiteboards. Therefore, the best way for me to practice leetcode was to write out the solutions by hand, just like you would in an interview. It forces you to think ahead about the problem.
My strategy was to do 2-3 problems per day on pen and paper, and spend a maximum of 1 hour on each problem. Then, after that hour, check to make sure I got the optimal solution, and if I didn't, then also copy that optimal solution down onto the paper, so it gets burned into my brain.
This strategy, applied over a long timeframe, was extremely successful for me.
Was Calhoun really the problem? This company is one of those massive, glacial companies that have enormous inertia. Whatever changes in process led to all these disasters, it was something that started long before Calhoun's reign, I personally blame Jim McNerney.
People should be talking more about Jim McNerney. More than anyone else, he caused the cultural changes at Boeing that led to these disasters. He was some generic MBA with no aviation experience that followed the typical Jack Welch playbook and left before the consequences became apparent.
The 2x spicy noodles are too spicy for me, even as a lover of spicy food. It's literally like lava traveling through my stomach and intestines. The 1x, on the other hand, are freaking delicious. Very spicy but just absolutely incredible flavor, and it doesn't seem to destroy my stomach. I'm actually kind of addicted to the 1x, I have one of the little cups practically every day.
Thankfully, no account required. It's just an interactive web app, totally free. Although I am planning to support donations because unfortunately, RUNNING the app isn't free.
Thanks. I think my project is a genuinely useful tool, I've already used it (in a far more basic form) to make a pretty major decision in my life. I hope the functionality of the project speaks for itself. But I definitely don't want to be in a situation where nobody sees it due to poorly chosen posting time :P
Thanks! I'm actually planning on introducing a pseudonym for myself for this project, as it is my first major project that I plan to make available to the public, and something about the name "uejfiweun" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, haha. But I hope you see and enjoy it when it releases!
I don't know a single person who has complained about the thickness of the iPhone. It's been as thin as it needs to be for years. I'd almost prefer a thicker phone with better battery life. Quite frankly, I wish Apple would stick its talented hardware engineers on projects other than making things thinner.
Thank you for the examples. I definitely haven't used it much for that type of use case but I'll keep that in mind. I don't want to give up too much info about my project because it would probably dox me, but it essentially involves generating consistent geometric shapes in a 2d array. Like the following:
0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 1 1 1 0
0 0 1 1 1 0
0 0 1 1 1 0
Both current flavors of GPT are unable to generate spatially consistent shapes according to my specifications. Who knows, maybe they will improve in this realm in GPT-5 with the inclusion of their rumored Q* algorithm.
I love the idea, I love my Quest 3, and I can't wait for this sort of thing to become legitimately feasible. But as of right now, there's pretty much zero chance that I take the Quest 3 with me traveling. It's just to big and bulky, it'd take up the majority of my backpack space.
Can you give me a little more specific detail on your use cases that fail with 3.5 and succeed with 4? I've tried to get some projects going using the API to generate some certain types of geometric data and both fail miserably for me. Keep hearing that 4 is so much better but I have yet to see it myself.
