    I'm unsure what SpaceX's weighting would be in QQQ but with Tesla being <3.54% weighting it would take both companies being 0s within a year to offset the cost in taxes from reweig…

    Candidly, while I understand the need for some amount of redundancy, I'm curious what this level of redundancy adds in terms of complexity to the system of a whole and whether or n…

    To be fair, delineating between benevolent and malevolent pen-testing and cybersecurity purposes is practically impossible since the only difference is the user's intentions. I am …

    Basically every single old bug report I've ever seen is essentially a red-herring that is usually not able to be reproduced anymore after N years and takes away time from focusing …

    While I fundamentally agree with the basis of compute getting cheaper by the year, I think a missed consideration here is the fact that these models are also requiring exponentiall…

    Circularly passing around tens to hundreds of billions of dollars for things which don't exist and may never exist to fund a technology that hasn't A. lived up to the hype they've …

    Watching along, will be interesting to hear how much they leave for the paper they seem to be releasing alongside this conference

    Ditto. If anything, trying to add it into an existing codebase via JSDoc has only really been a detriment via being a massive time sink. It might have caught maybe 4-5 bugs in the …

    Ditto- I have a feeling the investors in his latest 2.3 quintillion dollar series Z round wouldn't be as happy if he'd have tweeted "there is a wall"

    A company being unable to compete with another one on price will result in a drop in revenue, as consumers purchase the product with the cheaper price. Revenue going down is bad fo…

    Not when the domestic companies which manufacture the same product wither as a result. Don't get me wrong, I don't believe in defensive national economic policy as a blanket protec…

    Help is an interesting word choice for what is essentially undercutting our entire domestic automotive manufacturers and ensuring, on a pure cost front, that the majority of Americ…

    It may be a result of personal preference, but I struggle to see how talking through challenges encountered with a personal project are a poor indicator of competence. If you ask s…

    I think the best test for a Junior is to ask them to submit some of their OSS or personal fun projects they've worked on. From my perspective, especially with Juniors who aren't ex…

    You're dead sure? I wouldn't say anything definite about technology advancements. People seem to underestimate the last 20% of the problem and only focus on the massive 80% improve…

    Never really understood any company of any size that pushes for this type of workload. Do you really produce high-quality work on hour 100 of the workweek versus hours 0-40? For ev…

    Ran into the same issue when I purchased a .ml domain (naively not looking into why .ml is such a cheap TLD to buy good names for, it has a super high spam risk). Purchased a diffe…

    Fair point but I think the key point here is unnecessary complexity versus necessary complexity. Are zero-downtime deployments and load balancing unnecessary? Perhaps for a persona…

    In the same vein here. Every time I see one of these posts and the ensuing comments I always get a little bit of inverse imposter syndrome. All of these people saying "Unless you'r…

    The irony is palpable. Stating your position and then never providing any supporting proof is not a "valid and sound" argument.

    You really need to learn about the burden of proof, since you'd (hopefully) be able to figure out that in this case, the burden of proof is on you to prove what you're saying is ac…
