    The matter of fact is that big companies (think the usual monorepo business going on in FAANG) don't care about the actual code. The code was never the point of the exercise. Event…

    Thats not true. They price the stocks at current market value and tell you how many you'll get + what the vesting schedule is.

    > The back-loaded vesting schedule is such blatantly cynical bullshit. I don't understand this. A friend was recently offered an insane pay package from Amazon (compared to another…

    They're not open sourcing it though?

    > The UK is not that different by comparison. Do note that the UK is 15.6x as dense as Finland, and the climate is quite different: e.g. in Helsinki (southermost city) mean daily t…

    Yeah just checked apparently it is available as a preview (not on main models/pricing page).

    My understanding is that the coding agents people use can be modified to plug into any LLM provider's API? The difference here seems to be that Cerebras does not appear to have Qwe…

    Have been using this all morning for some integral-heavy math for my PhD (trying to bound certain analytically intractable integrals). It's a bit hit-or-miss. It's been able to com…

    But the data is... wrong? Google Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite costs $0.10/mtok input [1] but is shown here as $0.40/mtok? [1] https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/pricing#gemini-2.5-fla.…

    Thank you! I am wondering how narrow the focus has to be for an EB-1A. I have been involved in a wide variety of projects, some receiving a good amount of media publicity (100+ men…

    Thank you Peter, this is super helpful!! Does your firm do immigration law consultations or do you have any that you would recommend to ask some more questions?

    I'm graduating from my PhD and starting a FAANG research role. I'm Australian and about to start in F-1 OPT status. I am interested in an EB-1 or EB-2 (possibly NIW) visa, but am c…
