There’s definitely going to be a shift over time. But it’s clearly not here just yet. So why preemptively lay off anyone? Isn’t that inefficient?

It’s an interesting thought experiment! My first questions boil down to the security and auditability of the code. How easy is it for a human to comprehend the code?

The real unit cost is worker development cost. Like any other tech company, this cost gets muddied in the platform/framework development costs versus more product focused costs.

Excellent point. Plus and Wave were ahead of their time.

Not everything on the internet is a “website” and then there are several website hosting platforms that aggregate the individual concerns.

I wanted to join them a few years ago but I wasn’t in the right life position to do so. I was hoping to one day in the near future. Maybe that day will one day come again.

This is a great assessment that I never realized until you said it. There are so many games from that era that I played that fit that mold. I was playing Leisure Suit Larry as a 10…

Advice? Don’t push yourself as far as possible. You’re young, talented, and capable of kicking ass. Spread that ass kicking out over your lifetime and make sure you don’t burn out …

It was surprisingly useful for some high performance computing niches. It was in a weird time. FPGAs were available but weren’t as performant as they are today. GPUs were around bu…

In the early years, the SPUs were not all functional due to the fabbing process. The ones that had all 8 functional ended up in servers, and the ones with about 6 ended up in PS3s.…

Remembering this seems hard. And doing it under pressure seems very hard. I’ve forgotten my own zip code at a gas station before.

If we had duress codes for ATM, and it’s widely known, then someone with a gun will just threaten me to not use my duress code. I’m not going to bet my life in that scenario.

That’s exactly how I wound up with a Nvidia 3080 and AMD 5950 in December 2020. Microcenter is great if you’re near one.
