I feel that the 1mg pill bottle that I have already is my lifetime supply, given the rate at which I use it.

Appreciate your thoughts. I think if we sat down and talked we would agree on a lot of things. re: end goals: in most cases, you still need an end goal in mind in order to craft a …

I’ve been mulling a congruent idea. When we think about goals we usually imagine a static end state. 75 kg body weight. 1,000,000 USD in my bank account. A happy life. We try to de…

I read a while back that our brains produce roughly 0.3 mg of melatonin when signaling us to go to sleep. When I occasionally do use melatonin I split a 1mg pill into half or third…

In theory, you're right. But she talks about how it happens in practice. We can all sit around and talk about how this or that should work in theory, until one day we get a chance …

When you are judging something you are judging the whole thing. If the first part is bad that puts the book behind every other book. Even if the rest was decent the chance of it be…

It would be relatively easy to build the logic for on-call rotations, and to build the API endpoints for consuming alerts. But add to that the work of also building mobile apps, wo…

I was trying to make a different statement. Everyone will need to become a manager, even ICs. But in the past, many engineers shied away from management, for various reasons. Now, …

Anyone know of resources like this but for capital markets? Things that would allow engineers new to trading equities, options, FX, bonds, and commodities to learn about different …

Every software developer will be a manager of one or more AI agents. Managing AI agents will turn out to be surprisingly similar to managing people, except for the drama, illness, …

No. The cost of one programmer’s hour of work compared to the increase in price of RAM is not very big. One is a variable cost one is fixed.

It’s a funny comparing commutes back then to commutes now. But it does not take a lot of imagination to see that back then people did not isolate themselves with newspapers while b…

How much RAM did the local machine have?

I was not thinking about real $ costs, but rather the cost of the hours of the people who had to deal with this BS.

Over the past 9 months I've been advising one small client of mine on AI adoption, and engineering maturity in general. They have a team of 5 engineers. One very capable lead and 4…

I'm being a little facetious when I write this, but bear with me: Let's say I have daily backups, and get 10x done each day by being reckless and risking an "rm -rf", and let's say…

I wonder how much money this agent wasted on the DN42 side? I know it's a volunteer org but these people had to deal with the bs of managing this agent's blast radius instead of le…

The problems with inheritance tax is that they can be avoided through trust structures and insurance schemes. In theory it's a good tax, but in practice many wealthy people figured…

I own a domain and have a catch all email. I routinely get emails from Microsoft and Google's official email addresses telling me that some account will be closed, or some other ac…

Supporting is a word that means many different things. It’s ok to stop providing updates to old software and hardware. It’s OK to not support ancient devices when writing news soft…

I’m not an accountant and what you’re saying is probably right. However, if you hire an engineer to do R&D, build systems, and take R&D tax credits, it “feels” like capex.

Replace “Claude code” with “programmers” and you get what we’ve had up until now. It’s all just moving quicker now.

You don’t need to teach anyone about this. The wealth tax should apply to extremely wealthy people, not everyone. If you accumulated a fortune, there was some skill at play. There …

Is it capex of training new models and hiring people for 250mln pay packages? Or is it opex running inference?
