I don’t like most thing FB/Meta does. But, I must admit they are the only big tech sharing so much openly. Other big tech should take Meta as an example here.
I thought I’d never say this : good job Zuck on AI!
Yes, but in majority of cases you still need some legal entity that can convert crypto to fiat so you can actually buy stuff with real money. Would be enough to forbid that and crypto is pretty much done.
I don’t watch Netflix anymore because there is no content worth paying for. I kept it for a while because my kids were watching cartoons now on paramount+. So I cancelled Netflix and now enjoying some quality content on paramount like start trek.
Parents should chillout; my kids go to private schools, they have a great math program but even that is not enough and most of their friends end up taking additional math class outside school.
I refuse to do that for my kids.
The amount of stress and expectations parents put on their kids is staggering.
Obviously, these kids will inevitably get bored in any school.
Negotiation is all about leverage. More often than not leverage is on the employer side.
People look for a job because they most likely need one; unless they are in the fortunate position of working for fun and they don’t want to retire just yet.
Negotiating means you should be ready to walk away: let’s be honest … how many with their first offer at their dream job (e.g: FAANG) would be ready to walk away from it?
Unless you have very specific skills and knowledge, you are rarely in the position of bumping the numbers much.
That said, you must negotiate the first offer (usually low), then you counteroffer much higher with the goal of usually settle somewhere in the middle.
Recruiters know how to play the game.
Also, I believe everyone should have a good idea on how much they should be paid. I usually give the first number, if asked (high) I don’t see anything wrong with that.
I already know they will lowball me and then we will settle somewhere halfway.
Annotations are a great way to get rid of boilerplate and noisy code.
For instance, I find Spring @Transactional a much more effective, less bug prone and productive way of dealing with db tx vs having to manual code and handle exceptions, rollback, connections etc ..
Same goes with JAX-RS.
I would choose annotations over having to code all that manually any day.
You can easily test and debug. Yes, it will cost some time to understand how aspects work and how it is all wired up, but it is worth learning.
I don’t think 225 or even 300 would be enough. Especially if you have kids. I don’t think people truly realize how home ownership has become completely out of reach for most, even for tech workers.
I really hope this is the end of complicated reactive frameworks! I love the old blocking spring controller paradigm, thread local and so on. It makes things much easier. Never liked webflux, so complicated and hard to debug. Simple things become a project!
Prices are driven up by people’s inability to be financial savvy.
People keep overpaying for things like cars and houses. Any drop in prices by few % makes it look like a great deal, and people fomo into it; when in fact prices are still insanely high and completely disconnected from the real economy.
More and more people will be house poor. Many ex-FAANG bought into $8k mortgage depleting a good chunk of their saving for insane downpayment, thinking their income would go on for the next 30y.
I believe we will start see the effect of this in the coming years.
There is no way around it, people must stop buying and stop paying $5 for a coffe.
Especially for seasonal trips, people will start cutting out abnb. It is advantageous for both parties. Airbnb fees are outrageously high, plus I have to basically cleanup the entire house before leaving. They are like car dealers, they get in the way without providing any real value. I bet, eventually people will be able to search for places directly on Google.
Still, I don’t see OpenAI having a strategic advantage.
Until today, Google still has a defacto monopoly on search. Their secret sauce made them leader in the space and so far no other company has been able to come up with something better.
ChatGPT does not have any special secret sauce, Google can just build something better. So if I have to bet, long term, I will still bet on Google. That said, it is also not obvious that leadership at Google will be capable of delivering. That’s all different story.
What’s OpenAI long term strategic advantage? Google, has already shown they have something like ChatGPT. They just need a new CEO and to feel enough pressure to make it a company priority. I think it is just a matter of time and all other big players will catch up.
The big problem for Google is not the tech per se, but to figure out how to make money out of it, without destroying their ads cash cow.
You should have read my first comment where I said that it is not convenient _unless_ you can charge it at home. And here you are … “thanks to solar panels” … you are the exception not the rule. Many people don’t live in houses, let alone have the possibility of installing solar panels and pay premium for an EV car.
Let me guess … you have a Tesla…
I will just wait perhaps in the next 5 to 10 years. For now I am happy with my hybrid.
