I’m amused that the 100x dev caught more flack than a likely solo $B bootstrap. In my view developer ability follows the Pareto distribution. I was born to program and have done it all my life and it’s all I do. I’ve…
It’s one of those secret but profitable niches.
AFAIK the Afghan commanders stole their soldiers pay so the soldiers sold their weapons to the Taliban. The Taliban taking it back over seems like a natural consequence.
Nothing new was discovered here and the key terminology is used incorrectly. To be fair, most of the industry are amateurs, but most people don’t write medium posts and continue to argue their ignorance on HN.
US companies are now being hoisted by their own petard. There are not that many exploitable smart people left, even internationally. In my applied research niche they already hired internationally and the ability was…
You mean Germany?
I presume he would have known his writing style was unique and expected people to figure it out once he got what he wanted. It’s an interesting read.
AFAIK it was good old fashioned accounting fraud. Losses booked as marketing expenses, lifetime revenue of contracts booked immediately, bundling overpriced software with underpriced hardware to change the revenue mix…
The Serious Fraud Office has corruption problems; so I wouldn’t expect much justice out of them at all. Mike Lynch is the bad guy in this. Autonomy was an intentional fraud that was offloaded into HP - with the help of…
A theory that I ascribe to is that Long Covid is viral induced CFS/ME. As someone with hEDS I've battled CFS/ME for most of my life. I don't want to celebrate too soon but in the last few weeks do I feel like I have now…
Megadose B3 2000mg per day does seem to be commonly effective. The theory is NAD+. Gives me a headache so an aspirin is needed as well but was one of the first treatments that pulled me out of fatigue.
And I think it’s weird when people assume that nature would conform to morality. That would be convenient and I’m suspicious of convenience. It’s a proposed causation hence the ‘may’ qualifier. I’m suggesting people…
It could be genetic. RCCX gene mutations may make people more susceptible to CF/ME and being a software developer. For most people CF/ME will present as burnout.
I’m sure the Navy wished it wasn’t canceled, and the Marines probably would have been happy with Harriers. The stealth window of usefulness is closing anyway with improved radar.
The F-35 was framed as a way to save money.
It's likely genetic - i.e. an inherited Anxiety disorder. I have hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (hEDS). It disproportionally affects Gifted people and causes a bunch of physical problems that exhibit as mental…
My grandparents were farmers and used generic selection to pacify their cattle herd. It was very clear from their work that behavior was inherited. I was already predisposed to the concept. Even still it was a surprise…
I quit my BigTech job and all social media. Something I said was misinterpreted as condescending to a female colleague and I was reprimanded by HR. Within a year she made the same complaint against everyone else in the…
An irony that is not lost on me is that high achievers often have their own problems that they would know about if they and society wasn’t so keen to dismiss the problems of others. I was told I was lazy when I couldn’t…
We literally are talking knives on RC planes; see the comment I originally replied to. You are moving the goal posts. A quad will tumble with the motors off, the whole thing is a significant lift force. It was a big…
Ardupilot will not hit a human size target. People can barely do it. You're not going to lob a tumbling quad at a target with any accuracy that's a joke. To do this with any reliability you need custom software and…
Off the shelf RC airplanes have terrible unpowered terminal velocity. You'd have to custom build to get anything decent. Which is more difficult than strapping a knife to a RC plane.
That's rough. Women have a much harder time with hEDS. I use Low Dose Naltrexone for the brain fog. It is not without its side effects but it works for me. I've been on it for 5 years for CFS before I knew it was for…
Not OP; but have hEDS. CFS with brain fog is the most disabling part. Chronic back pain is the second. Post exertion malease means if I accidentally overexert myself I can be stuck in bed for days recovering. Bad…
I have this as well - I only found out a month ago after decades of searching and dozens of doctors, hundreds of tests, across 4 countries, all telling me there is nothing wrong. It should have been super obvious in…
