I use discrete math quite often, but rarely calculus—at least nothing more complicated than knowing what integrals and derivatives are (not how to actually calculate them). I mainly work at the application level, though: understanding business processes and other "soft" skills are much more relevant than advanced math.

I fully expect some companies to still be using Java 8 in fifty years.

I am an undergraduate Electrical/Computer Engineering student at the University of Toronto graduating in May 2024, currently searching for new grad opportunities. I just wrapped up a 16 month Co-op doing verification for high speed interfaces (100G Ethernet/PCIE Gen6) last year, and am currently doing a thesis project in systems software on log compression using static analysis.

I'm interested in a wide variety of technical work spanning the range from lab tasks characterizing hardware, hardware development or verification, firmware development, systems software, backend software development, and infrastructure work. I'm hoping to work in industries surrounding climate/energy or other industries where my work would make a positive impact. Shoot me an email if it sounds like I would be a good fit.

> Cornell ... summers around the rock-climbing hub of Yosemite National Park, working at a restaurant (owned by Anker, a mentor) to help fund his pursuits. He lives in a 2003 Freightliner van, with 320,000 miles, [down by the river].

> Marvell ... has a few sponsorship deals and also his own welding business ... climbing up and rappelling down oil platforms, timing repair work with the tides.

Per gram, ultralight climbing gear is pretty expensive. But you can only carry so many grams with you. And yes, plane tickets to Tibet are $1600. Food isn't that expensive. And yes, they had some porters and pack animals to help them walk rations to base camp at 15,000 feet. A lot of people probably spend more on golfing than these guys spent on this epic.

There's a huge difference between the cost of an 'expedition' like this and the cost of adventure tourism. If you're not paying for dozens of people to carry oxygen bottles and dry clothes and tents and warm meals it doesn't cost anything to go outside. And if you structure your life around spending more time climbing/surfing/hiking, it doesn't seem like such an impossibility to not clock in for a few months.

I honestly don't think your opinions are strong. The vast majority of people intuitively feel this way, they wouldn't willingly date a former prostitute or porn star, they'd be upset if their spouse or child were involved, etc.

It's more of an interesting disaster to watch from a distance, like a car crash.

I wonder if society should step in to prevent those men from getting hooked. We already step in to prevent people getting hooked on physical drugs because the negative externalities are too bad to accept. But this sounds like people getting hooked mentally will also have pretty bad side-effects for society as a whole.

I mean imagine some guy "falling in love" with a model this way. And then after a year and $10k in "voluntary gifts", the poor guy figures out that he's the sucker and he has been milked by scammers and he never actually talked to his "girlfriend". Do you expect that person to go back and have a healthy relationship with women afterwards? Or is he going to go off the deep end and become misogynistic? You can't put all the blame only on him after that experience. He might need therapy and rehab afterwards, just like a recovering drug addict.

> the Cybertruck turns out to have similar performance

Cybertruck is heavier. It will have worse performance as rolling resistance and drag are your primary losses in modern cars.

> Some customers have them now.

10 employees have them and the website opens 'sometime' in 2024, with the model people are actually interested in not available until 2025.

Tesla is a no-show, and will remain a no-show until sometime next year

> because as of right now the options aren’t moving the needle.

Ford Maverick is doing wonders actually, and as a 40MPG Hybrid, it's probably got more environmental friendliness than most people realize.

Maverick launched at $20,000 as well, so it's a true mass market vehicle. Not like this $80,000 hunk of Cyberwhatever.

Even the $60,000 price is beyond the means of the typical truck buyer. $80k is absurdity.
Not even their biggest customers get any good support.

> Use the gas for charging the batteries - no connection between gas engine and electric drivetrain.

Almost all of them have a connection from the gas engine to the wheels. I don't know if it is still the case today, but no that long ago many hybrid models even reused the same automatic transmission from the ICE version of the car. Hybrids are not designed as an electric car with a generator, the drivetrain is truly "hybrid" and send direct mechanical power form the ICE to the wheels

Thanks for reading. I'm looking to be a founding engineer in a mission driven start up. I'm interested in building all the things from the ground up. I've done this before in a few places. So if you are looking to get your whole stack up off the ground including: Basic App, Monitoring, CI/CD, Infrastructure, etc. I'm your guy. Looking for smallish orgs with biggish goals with no more than 10 people. Willing to travel a few times a quarter if necessary for F2F.

They are in the same wheelhouse. HTMX is more generalized, Turbo/Hotwire is more opinionated. HTMX can easily be run anywhere in any language. Turbo is easiest run in Rails/Ruby.
For that to follow, you'd have to assume that its irrelevant anyway because the best and not the best provide equal value. Conversely, if the best provides more value no matter the situation then companies are incentivized to hire the best and RTO.

The release of plugins was underwhelming for a lot of users, I wonder if they're worried about the same thing happening again. I had fun making a plugin when they were first announced but the developer experience was clunky and frustrating, and there was a lot of confusion around how the plugin store actually worked.

I haven't made the time to convert my plugin into a GPT but I'm planning to, hopefully it'll be a bit of a smoother experience this go around.
Thanks for pointing this out. It helped me contextualize the argument.

It is a combination of "Other People Have It Worse Than You Do" but uses the past as a point of reference.

We could just as easy compare ourselves to our presumably better off future and say that we have it worse off than them so we deserve to improve things now.
As precedent, prostitution is already illegal in most countries. This is controversial, though.
I agree.

Imagine if dating apps paid you to keep your profile active even if you have no interest in meeting anyone. They pay you $5/month per match with a minimum of 5 messages before ghosting. It keeps lonely men on the platform. For some people, OnlyFans chat is no different.

There should be clear disclosures that there is potential the other account is outsourced to a different person, or a LLM.

I'm having trouble finding it now, but I recall there being a rumor that the Bumble CEO was fired for permitting fake accounts to exist, so that usage appeared high. I think it had to do with allowing virtual phone numbers

EDIT: Wow.... there are a lot people in this thread pushing back on the parent comment suggesting outsourced model chats are immoral, or not an ethical way to make a living.
In my opinion, Drupal is a much better platform than WP, except that it has always had a much higher geek factor, and I think that's what has stunted it.

I feel that the engineering behind Drupal has always been top-notch. I wrote a couple of Drupal plugins and themes, BitD (Back in the Day), but that was a long time ago. I'm sure that big changes have come, since then.

What I liked, was being able to completely customize both the frontend and the backend of a Drupal site. WP doesn't really give you much, in the way of making its backend much simpler.

During that time, WP has improved its engineering and architecture significantly, so it's still a tough call.

>> Defining "self-made" is not a straight forward issue

Forbes has an interesting (to me at least) self-made score that assigns ten categories from "Inherited fortune but not working to increase it" to "Self-made who not only grew up poor but also overcame significant obstacles", https://www.forbes.com/sites/gigizamora/2023/10/03/the-2023-....
This is kind of related, but I've always wondered what a 2D or 3D IDE would look like, if we could drop the limitations of files and working top to bottom, and instead be able to group code more spatially (and i guess still have it then outpt to files for storage.) Does anything like this that isnt a GUI drag and drop editor?
For most of the professional schools (medical, law, and dental school) it is by far the most important metric. Business school is a close second and might have a little more leeway but it is still the biggest blocker of attendance for most applicants. Sure you can get into some business or law school, but after a certain point the ranking of the institution does matter for most people unfortunately.

Even for grad school it is still a very important metric, especially as not all undergrads are at R1 institutions where they can participate in (non bs) research. But lets say you're really just in it for the education and don't care, even then many valuable/important jobs only recruit from the top x schools in there respective fields.

So I would say yea, it does matter. In fact it's one of the few things that matter in many of those school applications.

None of the claims in the last paragraph are true. Self-driving vehicles still have serious limitations, especially in the city context we’re talking about, and children aren’t going to have their own cars.
you should see my rants about why normalizing weights is a bad idea and how a limited context window is effectively random interpolation
Yeah but then you're just introducing branch mispredictions which will cause latency and potential confusion down the line.

It's all a trade off.

Either way it's extremely exciting that we get to even discuss this stuff as real possiblities.
Would the crudest flat rate scheme be unappealing to people just above the threshold to which it applies? Sure. I don't think anyone's seriously advocating for Bezos and the successful small business owner to be paying the same rate.

AnthonyMouse created a strawman to fight; getting from "very wealthy" to "only the top 100 billionaires" is kinda crazy. To use that to assert that the math just doesn't work on using a wealth tax to fund universal inheritance is kinda untenable.

I think "wealthier than 99% of people in a rich country" is fair to call "very wealthy" but I can see how others would differ. I also hope you can see how the person with >10M in net worth would not be happy to pay 1.2% but can likely swing it (and under this crude hypothetical, stops paying it if they fall to merely being richer than 98.9% of their peers), but that the 100k would be life-changing and transformative for young people.

Piketty's proposals for a wealth tax have varied over the years, but have at points in the past included 1% above 1M euros, 2% above 5M euros, 5-10% above 1B euros. He's trying to re-imagine a more equal society; the redistribution can't be small.
You're trying to compare numbers across different studies with different methodologies. The articles above show that Houston is consistently terrible for a given study.

Also, the article you linked draws from an irrelevant page on businessnamegenerator.com (???). Is this a troll?
Without knowing what you consider to be of worth, that's difficult to answer.

The good news is that the article describes in detail how to determine for yourself if it's worth it. The author uses an M2 as well, so you can at least know it'll likely work.

As far as I know they never got a single machine. So they can’t easily reverse engineer it.

They’re struggling already just to copy the previous generation DUV machines, and that’s while having a bunch of machines they can study and copy.

A lot of technology you can’t really just copy it. You need the whole supply chain and expert support around it. Like with EUV they’d need someone like Zeiss to make the mirrors. Even the parts holding the mirrors are extremely niche and extremely hard to make.

SMIC could copy older TSMC tech because they could buy the same machines and poach engineers from TSMC. That’s just not viable for EUV.
