If someone has that sort of knowledge; how big a chip would be required? Is it possible?

I worked with both Alex (stainless) and Jarred (bun) at Stripe, and they were both notable for their high energy and output. I did find it amusing that Anthropic picked both the Xt…

I'd love to learn how to build something like this, but unfortunately the code is unreadable. If author could write a heavily commented version that would be amazing.

As a New Zealander who's had skin cancer, and lives under constant high UV rates because of the lack of an ozone above my country (and Australia, South America, South Africa), I'd …

How do you actually do the manufacturing? What machines does one need to do something like this?

This was one of the most exhausting aspects of working for a US company, especially as an H1B. Simply: just don't say anything, it wasn't worth it. I'm from cultures where we blunt…

As a kid I spent summers working in the schools IT department in order to save up to buy VB6 (with a staff discount). This was not cheap back in the day!

NZ is maybe a poor example, as we do not have capital gains taxes on houses (or most things), and do tax foreign investments (via a ~1.5% annual wealth tax, so house flipping is ta…

Kia ora from Tauranga 100%. There are 2 NZ employment markets. Those working for NZ companies in the $100k region, and those working for US firms for the $200+k region. I've had an…

Boom times for anyone in road building and construction, probably. It's been described as a billion dollar weather event on par with the Christchurch earthquake 10+ years ago.

I wonder if they could reverse the flow direction periodically to flush it

I grew up in Vanuatu having those same experiences; swimming coral reefs, walking to the top of a volcano, exploring the jungles... etc It is a world away from the suburban kid's l…

Judging by my inability to get into any store at Westgate last weekend due to the crowds, I think we're still a while off "plunging". /anacdata

The first job I looked at stated they were hiring "anywhere across the US", so this doesn't look like a very well curated list.

I left the US when Covid struck. No way was I sitting around there during all of this. I took a 50% pay cut to move back to my home country, while producing the same output (and va…

1Password?

NZ is very well regarded for freedoms, literally topping the list https://freedomhouse.org/country/new-zealand/freedom-world/2...

The NZ sun is terrible. You feel the sun burning you as soon as you get outside. Burn time can be about 10 minutes on a sunny day, and maybe 20 on a cloudy day in summer. In NZ we …

Ditto. I assumed it was an opportunity to document any legally problematic reasons that drove you to quit so they could get ahead of them, or reinforce their case for firing you.

I guess what I was hinting at was the difficulty in filtering "remote" roles

Remote is such an overloaded term. Is it US/North America only? Is it equal work for equal pay globally? I was someone who took the opportunity to relocate back to my home country …

Yes! I've been having to double tap links on iOS Chrome, as you've described. I'm a frontend engineer so this had me puzzled. It's not like there's a zindex issue with something bl…

Porsche’s.

DSE was an absolute rip off, but it was pretty much the only game in town. As a kid it was an amazing place for me to spend an hour on the weekends pottering around all the electro…

Could we throw enough moon rocks into an orbit which would block some % of sunlight hitting the earth (to cool it)?
