This!! Three examples of things we should get rid of: 1. desks - kids shouldn't be stationary, they have to move! 2. grades - you don't give every player a score 2. personalized learning - you don't have your basketball team practice by themselves on computers
FIRE is the dumbest shit imaginable. Forget all the (correct) arguments about enjoying life while young: mathematically, it doesn’t work You are simply not earning enough *annually* ages 25-40 to fuel investments to hit a target number that’s feasible for a 45yr glide path
My friend in Big Tech told me that a $600K job in SF actually isn't Big as it seems: - $270K or 45% in taxes - $100K on housing in rent - $60K on groceries + transport - $20K on travel++ You're left with $170K or ~30% of income just on basics, which is a low savings rate
I'm not sure people understand yet: $LITE backlog order fill into 2028 signals extreme demand. And a lack of capacity. Then by second order effect of hyperscaler demand spillover: Guess who is projected to have the largest 800G/1.6T capacity in America? $AAOI. They fab their own inp lasers, design their own transceivers, and assemble it. If $AAOI can execute on capacity ramp, that likely all translates into revenue due to everything being sold out. My $40B MC price target from $5B is starting to look more and more likely?
My grandma always makes me do the dishes after Easter lunch She will be so happy to see that I cleaned her dirty old pan
ex-Amazon VP (@EthanEvansVP): "One of the hardest things for people to understand is I've identified a legitimate weakness in my boss. I go to my skip. Why doesn't he do something? Well, if you come to me with a weakness in one of my employees, there is subconsciously this process that goes on that says, I have two choices. I can believe that you're overly sensitive and high maintenance. In which case, I don't really have a problem. You are the problem. And you know, you're two levels down for me. So if you quit, well, the manager has to do the backfill. And I can tell the manager, you know, Ryan was here. He said this, that and the other. Maybe you can work with him. And that's exactly what you don't want is me ratting you out. But I can make it my manager's problem. On the other hand, if I agree with you and I'm like, you know what, this manager I have really isn't that good. Now I have three problems. This is really bad for me. One, I have to decide what to do with my manager. Maybe I have to manage them out. Two, if I do manage them out, I have to hire and train somebody else. And three, while they're gone, I have to do all their work myself. So you can see why, even if it's subconscious, I have a lot of reasons not to listen "
I need a slice of the Hamm

Apparently you get bullied and rejected from Anthropic for being insufficiently woke on risks of open source AI. Experience with Anth HR interview. 1point3acres, translated from Chinese. People were asking sometimes why I dislike Dario Amodei. I hope this clarifies matters.
