- calling someone that is rich coming from paul graham. come on guys. what's next? reading mark manson? a16z?
- i don't mean the misogyny but the general vibe of how full of himself/sociopathic he was
there are books from the 19 century written by people with much better values
- i basically never had to work (EU privilege + luck of being born the skill of knowing how to sell to people well) and only worked on stuff that i enjoyed and not a lot of hours (and that turned into millions fast) and my 20s/30s flew like months instead of years and didn't have the intensity of my teen years. I think it's because despite technically travelling and living in different countries a lot, going to a new place is not really a new experience after you visit 7 very different ones. The same with women and a lot of other experiences. Having kids was the only think that surprised me. Making money got old fast (i mean trying to get to the "next" level)
- damn you guys are gullible
- this is peak gym bro science
- I'm going to be controversial and ask: who pays taxes in tech like they should be paid? i mean small and big corporations.

- especially reading Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! leaves a bad taste in my mouth after all these years. i can only take the title literally "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!"
- are macs m5 out? can you wait that long?
- only slightly better? really?
- no
- right, we don't need a lot of things, yet here we are
- i hear you but the latency between the cpu and ram, the battery life, and the quality of software is way worth a few weird buttons to me. everything has downsides. Windows is completely ridiculous, and between Linux and Mac OS, well, I think it depends on your use case.
- no. but it gives you access to good hardware and software that works well on it. the only combination of this kind.
- right. also the whole job is bs to begin with. i don't know why this article is remotely interesting. it's a google job. that just tells me "i have skills but i don't know how to use them to make money"
- right but i'd rather watch rupaul drag race for the 100th time than write boring code
- my tip to people who don't like mac os. buy a macbook pro, disable System Integrity Protection (SIP), gut the OS, live in the terminal and browser. works way better than linux (10h+ battery life, SoC with a lot of memory) and you will barely notice that you're on mac os.
It's not windows. there will be no forced updates and surprises.
- i don't understand what is going on with people not training their own models
- depending on your usecase $200/mo is often not much for a coding tool if you're using it for commercial purposes
in my experience cursor is nicer to work with the openai/anthropic cli tools
- it really depends what you are using your computer for
a 128GB SoC m4 pro max can do pretty wild data science with close to a terabyte/second speed without the latency of typical offloading/back-and-forth
- i believe the most popular reason is capo on 1st fret when writing songs, other factors coming 2nd or 3rd (electronic music, sped up old samples, etc)
- This will be great to train AI on.
- sounds like that person isn't a tech lead
- i wouldn't touch anything from Mozilla with a twenty-foot pole
I like to disable SIP and gut my Mac OS but i know that's not a very safe choice
