NYC makes everything easy

3.4bn is their gross - we have no idea what their operating costs are since they refuse to share them.

Some estimates say they’re burning 8 billion a year.

The latest releases ChatGPT 4o costs $600/hr per instance to run based on the discussion I could find about it.

If OpenAI is running 1k of those models to service the demand (they’re certainly running more since queries can take 30+ seconds) then that’s 200M/yr just keeping the lights on.

They’re scum for the grift but flappy bird doesn’t deserve a trademark. US IP laws are draconian enough.

As a programmer my soft skills are as important as my hard skills. I’ve never worked on software alone: coordination, coherent and clear communication, collaboration. It’s all integral to the role.

I believe it is most of what has led to me being promoted up to staff eng level. I’m very good technically but so are many other engineers.

… Men are also ~20% larger than women on average. Is this count standardized by size of the person?

What do you mean used to? I still do. IEMs with replaceable cables are nigh on indestructible.

Gmail account is firstname.lastname and neither of them are rare.

Even though I don’t use Gmail anymore I keep that account alive.

Well the good news is: it’s not agi, will never be agi and agi is a long way off.

ML means you need a beefy GPU. That could always be a secondary addition though - add it in later as an external GPU and call it good.

I bought an expensive chair 8 years ago and it’s as good as the day I bought it. I’ll easily get another 8 out of it and it will likely last 30+ years of heavy use.

Which makes it cheaper than buying a $120 chair every 3 years.

Steam is not a publicly traded company, so they don’t pull this kind of skullduggery in service of the shareholders.

They’re a company full of people who, gasp, like video games: unlike the average navel gazing, brainless, Harvard Business School CEO.

Given their track record they’ve been more consistently “pro gamer” than other companies and are given a lot of leeway for that.

I mean how bad can the fabs be - they’ll be running ASML EUV machines right?

Also brake dust is carcinogenic ❤️❤️❤️

Damn but then how will I jump in the snow before coming back?

I’m pretty sure Saunas have existed for a long time.

Google never dropped that phrase btw - it’s still in the employee manual.

They just act like they dropped it
