Thank you, this is exactly what I needed!
Being able to produce state of the art semiconductors is arguably the most important manufacturing ability for a country to have. The US does not want to be dependent on Taiwan or South Korea to build what is nowadays a cornerstone economic driver (compute) and cornerstone defense tool (compute).

So to put it simply; the US wants to be sure it can still make H100's even if the rest of the world goes to shit.

Good point. Its interesting to see the comment thread here.

The part to me that I see as surprising is dismissal of the stress of taking VC money and being a founder. It is a job thats incredibly demanding. Which is eye opening to me that that's how people see it.

If it was so easy why aren't there more of them and more companies?

Early employee is tough - unless the company is on a significant trajectory the options should be valued at zero. That said being an early employee has other benefits such as being part of an interesting team and work problem. Definitely not a cushy job though (and nor is a founder) - both are significantly hard and for a certain personality type.

Everyone else go join a FANGG and get paid if thats what you are looking for comfy life benefits.

This is a reasonable take. When it was first released it was odd watching the entire internet treat chatGPT as some kind of oracle

It’s really amazing at generating content, but it doesn’t actually think or know anything, despite how well it can keep up its side of a conversation . If you have domain expertise in what it is generating, the limitations are very clear.

My concern is for the next generation of students coming up with pervasive AIs. Will they learn how to write critically if they rely on an LLM? Will LLM quality go to shit because it’s just being trained on an internet full of dodgy LLM output?

Delaware allows for employee shareholders to demand some transparency, but it doesn't apply to options holders.

VCs and Founders should be far more forthcoming to sweat equity participants. Delaware could mandate that too.

I've been on both sides, where leadership gaslights candidates and employees about why their tiny stock grant is so generous, diluted in the best case scenario. And on the other side where leadership is confused why someone with prior financial success would want to be an employee at all since its so obviously shit. That's sad to me that they can put on two faces, and its enabled in a way that securities laws were made to mitigate.
To be fair to early Android UI, this isn't regular Android UI. This is TouchWiz. Especially these early versions of TouchWiz, it was a huge mess of a UI. Almost all of the apps shown here weren't the stock Android apps, they were Samsung's versions. While early Android wasn't particularly great or well-polished, TouchWiz was even more of a mess.
Well, the alternative (which appears to be the status quo) is to give lower % equity to the first ~50 employees.

> there are still undiscovered castles lurking in the forests

As with all anthropology/archaeology, there is a big difference between “discovered” [by science] and “known” [by the locals]. The locals most certainly know of every castle and even those castles that are now ruins probably have local legends/stories of how there used to be a castle in such and such place.

But none of that counts until an archaeologist/anthropologist comes and writes it down. They then bombastically proclaim to have discovered a thing! (that all the locals already knew about for decades/centuries)

Sauce: my partner studied anthropology and this was a running joke in her program. It is very rare for an academic to be the first to discover anything. Usually they get tipped off by someone local who doesn’t count

It's literally 2x as large. This starts to matter quite a bit at the millions/billions of rows scale.

I've done [0] benchmarks, with [1] source to recreate it. This was for loading data, but it demonstrates quite nicely the problem of massive B+tree splits. An integer PK loads data ~2x as quickly as a UUIDv4 PK stored as `uuid` type, and ~3x as fast as one stored as `text` type.

> But most Postgres users have 1001 problems that are much bigger than UUIDs.

All of which become compounded by the use of non-k-sortable keys.

> If you've managed to avoid folks writing shitty queries and this is the bottleneck you're facing then I salute you.

Using UUIDs as a PK without having an extremely good reason to do so demonstrates a lack of understanding of how the underlying technology works. Worse, it demonstrates a lack of understanding of a basic data structure, something that devs should have near and dear to their heart.

With Postgres specifically, the use of UUIDv4 (or ULID) PKs will also cause an enormous amount of WAL bloat [2], unless you happen to be rolling your own DB and are using ZFS for the file system, and you've disabled `full_page_writes` (which is the only safe way to do so). I have personally seen this take down prod, because the other nodes couldn't keep up with the changes being issued (fun fact, most AWS instances under `.4xlarge` in size have a baseline network speed that's much lower than rated).

I had this exact problem with RCS on my Android phone. I didn't realize that it had been enabled by default at first. Since I don't want to use it, I disabled it once I noticed -- but then a couple of the people I had been texting with could no longer receive my texts.

I didn't know how to resolve it at the time and it only got fixed for me after I replaced my phone and got a new phone number.

I would guess that it isn't. My assumption (without any data backing this up) is that making a specific, super rugged transport container would cost more (along with the additional logistics of it) than the insurance on it.

I think one of the reasons I have that example is that specific dynamic is cited in most planetary science texts as "de-coupled", "invariant", etc etc, when in fact it's the major casual influence here, which was quite a surprise in recent years [glances at climate mostly still beating to the tune that particle inertia does not have to care about the system angular momentum variance at the solar system scale]

I wish that offline translation system was part of the desktop rather than the browser, so we could use it in every app.
Honestly, I'm surprised it took this long.

A lot of ad tech is defeated simply because it is provided by a third party, outside the original request, and executed in the browser. So make it first party, use the main request, and build it on the server. It's not as easy, but Google can do it. Make it fast (requires compute + infra) and charge a premium for the placement - after all, it's going to be more "effective". Again, definitely something Google can do.
dunno why the writer opted for this: "Our equity packages vest over 3 years instead of the industry standard 4-year period."

given it takes a long time to build companies; so on the contrary, many startups are instead opting for like 6 year windows.

"We allow employees to exercise options up to 10 years after they leave instead of 90 days." - the reason that 90 days is more standard is that it's more tax effective than having options exercisable for 10 years, though many companies are making a compromise on this recently
The average SUCCESSFUL founder is in their earlier 30s. At that point - you should be at least L4 (probably L5) at FAANG. Salaries are about ~$450k at that level and age.

In 5 years, if you work even a fraction of as hard as you need to be a successful founder, you should be L7 - salaries are usually >$800k at that point.

No, it is not like any average slacker straight out of college in 5 years can get to a $1M salary at FAANG. But if you're the type of person that could successfully grow a company to a multi hundred million valuation in 5 years - you can make $1M at FAANG.

Either 280ft is longer than whatever type of football field they're thinking of, or it's not. No understanding of football needed for that.

Amazon Prime Video is not much better. We recently got an ad for an all black dating site. I’d expect them to guess our ethnicity a bit better (and the content was as 1950’s cracker white as can be), but ignoring that, they were literally selling us diapers a while back, and the kids have their own video profile. Based on our purchases, it’s not physiologically plausible that only one adult lives in the house.

Given how bad the output of ad targeting infrastructure is, I wonder who the “real customer” of it is.

This is false. They released it in Safari in iOS 1, in a state where it did not work system-wide (across iOS).

No one used Samsung Browser, they just downloaded Chrome :) (which had it in 2009/Android Cupcake).
The opposite is true. There are many fewer android OEM's now, at least in the US. LG, Sony, Motorola, HTC, etc all quit or were bought out.
Frankly, at Lyft, we had a very good system for dashboards.

Lyft uses mode [0] for most dashboards, it has a very well documented data catalog thanks to the system they created, Amundsen [1], and the tables are almost all free to peruse by anyone at the company.

This lets anyone with curiosity and the willingness to write some SQL build some very useful dashboards. And every dashboard is very easy to understand because the SQL can be inspected and the sources can be inspected. If you wanted to go further, you can even pin down where and from which repository the data got emitted. Mode has a very poor charting library, but it satisfies 80% of the needs and the other 20% can easily be complemented by the fact that they have an integration with Jupyter notebooks that gives you even more power.

The entire system felt very ergonomic. It also felt like it gave the opportunity for non-technical people to step up and get their hands dirty rather than wait for a data analyst.

One of the largest expenses by consumers, and singled out so people can't take advantage of the market to save money. But of course most every other good is fine coming from China or other cheaper places, goods that would employ far more people if produced locally than auto manufacturing, but have lower profit margins so the capital holders at the top aren't wealthy enough to influence politicians and legislation.
You don't start there, but you can get there as you level up. A lot of that would be because the stock on your RSU grants goes up while you work there though. I don't think many SWE have 7 figure targeted comp (highest levels, yes). But plenty get there with refreshers and stock appreciation.

If you have pgstattuple [0], you can check the bloat of indices. Otherwise, you can just make it a cron on a monthly / quarterly / semi-annually / whatever basis. Since PG12 you can do `REINDEX INDEX CONCURRENTLY` with zero downtime, so it really doesn't hurt to do it more often than necessary. Even before PG12, you can do an atomic version of it:

`CREATE INDEX new_<index_name> CONCURRENTLY;`

`RENAME INDEX <index_name> TO old_<index_name>;`

`RENAME INDEX new_<index_name> TO <index_name>;`

`DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY old_<index_name>;`

You can measure "bloat" in the index. It's essentially the wasted space in pages.

You can also have bloat in the heap for the same reasons.

You may also want to cluster if your pg_stat.correlation is low since that indicates your heap isn't in the same order as your index anymore. pg_repack can do all of this without blocking, but you can reindex just an index concurrently on version >= 12.

Given that the author makes reference to the overall transport apparatus, the correctness of the length analogy also depends on if they refer to the "field of play" or the "entire field" or if the word "field" was edited from "pitch."
