    Garry Newman seems like a really real guy.

    Isn't that the point of agents? Assume we have excellent test coverage -- the AI can write the code and ensure get the feedback for it being secure / fast / etc. And the AI can hel…

    If you're hiring, I know an enthusiastic boot camp grad that loves ruby and can't stand react. My company has a react team somewhere, but not ruby...

    As long as we all agree that Facebook is one of the most meaningful and useful contributions to society, then yes, capitalism determines ideal value.

    You missed it. He was saying that amortized costs are cheaper, but poor people can't pay the upfront costs.

    This is a pretty apples and oranges comparison. Suppose it takes 30 people to maintain the ship. 70 people are working on it, mostly doing administrative work that makes them feel …

    My dad shut off the internet when he went to bed every night. At 7:00-8:00 PM. I presume so I would sleep? 'Videogames ruined your life' was what I heard constantly. For a while, I…

    Same, but outdoorsy stuff and I had to quarantine with a family member in Houston. I basically went from top 10% athlete level to feeling like a total couch potato. I just went bac…

    Relationships are really important outside the business setting too. Often much more important. Something that a lot of people in the business setting don't seem to understand. My …

    Fuck you, I hate cities. Now I can live near the people that are actually my friends and don't have to drive 5 hours every weekend for my hobbies.

    Maybe, but lava tubes are also really boring. Can see we do the karst stuff on Mars?

    I'd agree with the hypothesis that a PhD let's you hang out and get paid to do a lot of math. My brain is pretty spent from writing code -- I don't have time to spend doing more ma…

    So for me, I get stressed when I have less control over my work / time / etc. The less you make, the more they tell you exactly what to do, when and how to do it and you lose flexi…

    I don't know if Denver has any food it's known for. Maybe craft beer? Mountains are the thing.

    The cooler weather in Denver and huge focus on fitness / outdoors beats the pants off Austin for me on any given day. I do indeed want to be healthier and spend time outdoors!

    We should probably get to space one day. Doesn't mean we can't solve earth problems too.

    Caves are generally pretty stable over short geologic-periods. Otherwise they wouldn't be there. Mines on the otherhand... mines are where you get fucked.

    Some caves have a higher level of CO2, ie 'bad air'. You'll probably notice, one of the more entertaining symptoms of this is a 'feeling of impending doom'.

    The only place I've seen fast food cost more is in mountain towns -- taco bell was about .50 more. I have no A/C, run solar power and my heater is extremely efficient. Diesel usual…

    Just to throw in a wrench, I live in a van and I'm only very rarely in the same place for more than a month. My expenses don't really change depending on where I park.

    Had we reacted better, it's reasonable to believe that we could have contained it properly and not spent as many trillions. The worse we let the pandemic get, the more expensive it…
