How bad is SF for single straight men? It's so bad that a friend is thinking of turning down an OpenAI offer so he won't have to move there. SF won't achieve its potential if it can't figure out how to provide a fun singles scene for the men who make the tech innovation possible

This is super interesting You now have non-tech normal people outship tech people in terms of reaching revenue fast I have lots of techy software engineer friends and they have been trying for years to get any MRR for their sideprojects and they still haven't Here's an Indonesian girl, who's tapped into TikTok culture, knows what to ship, can't even code but ships it fast thanks to AI and gets to $800 MRR in the first month So we're officially in a new time now: it's now literally just a competition of being as tapped into the culture as possible, to then be able spot a trend and rapidly built and launch a site/app/biz around it, and make money There is little to any benefit being in tech now over normal people, maybe even the opposite as tech people are very up to date on tech things but often quite out of date on many non-tech cultural trends This is a great thing, but a bitter pill to swallow: another gatekeeper wiped out and every tech builder has to now stop putting effort into tech skills, and instead put effort into understanding culture trends to see what to build next And build it fast!

JUST IN: The Enhanced Games are set to debut this weekend in Las Vegas, with athletes allowed to use steroids, testosterone, HGH, & other banned substances.

Today, we share a breakthrough on the planar unit distance problem, a famous open question first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946. For nearly 80 years, mathematicians believed the best possible solutions looked roughly like square grids. An OpenAI model has now disproved that belief, discovering an entirely new family of constructions that performs better. This marks the first time AI has autonomously solved a prominent open problem central to a field of mathematics.

This might be a hot take but I know someone at meta who makes $400k a year and is quite literally capped at that number for life - likely will never get a promotion strong enough to change that. 9-5 until they’re what, 50? This is not living. No matter the salary.

if you're still writing code you're unironically falling behind

Passion and enjoyment will take you farther than any arbitrary accomplishment. Reaching the finish line won’t change a thing. Would you rather receive the first 100% of a blowjob or the last 0%? Think deep. Don’t sink.
