A lot has changed since ChatGPT was released. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Markets_Act wasn't in effect back then. Microsoft hadn't made their big investment yet either. O…

The references seem wrong though. I'm looking at the response to a demo Bing query, "What cars should I consider buying that are AWD, go 0-60 in less than 6 seconds, seat 6 or more…

On monetization it's not even close afaik. Some YouTubers make seven figures, and I don't know that blogging can get there. Although if some bloggers are making seven figures I'd b…

In other words, megacorps should buy up / produce all the housing so that the employees can't become home owners?

In California this would be framed as a repeal of Prop 13. Not sure why you think that is easy to legislate away.

Is facial recognition so good that it can distinguish you from a billion other people? I assumed the photo recognition relied on the social graph i.e. to look for your friends or f…

What would you ban?

Not sure if Signal is doing this, but they could send a notification with title "New message" and encrypted payload. The payload can be processed by a client-side notification exte…

It would be hard to find a job that pays $400k cash (yes I'm aware of Netflix) so there isn't much need to put a specific cash value on the RSU component for comparison. You're typ…

I like it. I think it's missing the option to increase the stamp sizes though? What I really liked about Kid Pix was the ability to make animations through the slideshow mode. You …

I feel you, and I spent most of my time at non-FANG earning much less.

At https://www.levels.fyi/addcomp.html I see someone could upload an offer letter, or a W2.

Base + bonus + annual refresher should be in the 700s annually. Likely the way this gets to $1M is with stocks going up and stacked refreshers (getting a couple annual refreshers w…

Wouldn't checking for remote jobs around your area sort of defeat the purpose?

Stocks (and therefore RSUs) are up. I joined a FANG in 2019 with $500k RSUs. Now I have $740k in unvested RSUs, including $600k remaining from the initial grant.

The PDF doesn't mention trading rules. You can refer to tournament rules or Monopoly computer games for what is or is not allowed -- and these types of trades are not allowed.

If your object IDs are 1, 2, 3... then attacker can check all the IDs. If instead each object ID is a 256-bit UUID, then the attacker can't make a query for every possible object I…

I'm not sure I understand the concern here. Typically there is a logged-in user, and server asks Zanzibar if the user can or cannot access some document. Whether a certain document…

Even though FANG and startups are giving similar whiteboard interviews, they are evaluating on different dimensions to select candidates that fit their respective companies and the…

The difference is that what you can learn on StackOverflow might actually be useful on the job.

Also don't forget all the blog posts about how hiring is broken, particularly because high school dropouts are able to put hundreds of hours into the game while senior swe are busy…

A majority of the time is spent on the "LeetCode grind." You can evaluate your own progress while you solve practice problems by checking time and checking how many solutions are c…

I recently noticed that about reddit. I thought it was just a time wasting site with a political bias. But actually it is a site for spreading false information. Maybe it doesn't g…

Not sure what you mean by free market in this case? Right now households can use electric and gas, and there is no ceiling to how much they can use of each. How would politicians r…

How were you not using a gas water heater 15 years ago?
