Fully agreed. The huge front runners will never recoup the cost of their training, especially since the result is just being used to train the more efficient models.

I wouldn’t hire someone without one. It’s like a resume, but a live, publicly verified one. If someone didn’t have one I’d assume they are hiding something or lying about experience.

Oh shit you’re right. I’m more lucid that I was when I wrote that and see how dumb it sounds.

If the mirrors are reflecting light into a dark part of earth, they are taking it away from a place that’s experiencing daylight.

There’s viable local models.

This would explain some interesting divergent behavior I’ve seen in the realtime API recently.

There were recent CS grads in my coding boot camp 8 years ago.

I imagine a lot of people making that much did exactly what I did. Over-leverage but temporarily. House poor basically.

When COVID hit I was renting in the bay area with my girlfriend. During lockdown I proposed, and after deciding we want a family, decided to take our bay area salaries elsewhere to buy a house.

We traded our 3k rent for a 2k mortgage with 1k insurance and taxes. Even.

But, leaving the bay we needed cars. My one little two seater wasn’t going to do it, we’re starting a family. So we got two larger cars, right when the market was inflated. Financed both of them.

The new big property we got has a little barn, let’s renovate that into an ADU for guests and to generate rent. Didn’t have the cash on hand so took out another loan about the same as a car to fix that up.

Now we’re strapped, basically living month to month. But those secondary loans were all 5 year loans, so in 2 more years they’re paid off, freeing up about $3k per month.

I basically don’t think any of these articles about people making that kind of salary are taking into account how weird a time covid was. Lots of people made big changes while interes rates were low, purposely over-leveraging themselves. It also gave everyone this yolo attitude as well, like fuck it all, treat yourself.

I’d be more interested to revisit this in 2027 when any 5 or 6 year car loans and secondary loans taken out during the record low rates are all paid off.

Same spot here. Took my permanent remote SE job to a depressed but beautiful coastal California town. A lot of folks seem to dislike me for some reason.

They already fear. What we’re seeing happen is the reaction to that fear.

Lot of folks are willing to draw the line at genocide.

Your first sentence, you assumed logical. The average person is dumb. Straight up stupid.

I’m a senior software engineer. SQL was the first language I stopped writing myself. I audit it, but I don’t write it anymore. It is strange being where I’m at, having had to learn it all manually first. The folks coming up behind me won’t know enough to even do that auditing themselves.

Actually I think folks with ASPD are the worst, trash that should be discarded from society. /s

I think you’re confusing folks who have pedophilia with folks who act on it.

I mean yeah. I make above that and it feels genuinely hard to keep up with the costs of living middle class in California.

Yeah, cloud flare too.

It’s not, I just assume everyone already has an android device. It’s let’s you play from anywhere on your phone too, instead of having to lug the deck.

From a lover of this game, (must have beat it 10 times), I actually think the android port it the best.

It’s got enhanced sprites and animations. Even better than the psp port. It pressrves the PS1 audio which the psp version messed up. The touch controls are decent.

I think that’s exactly where they were aiming with the small finger stuff. They want kids in factories again.

Any man who fits those is too busy getting laid non stop.
