wow thanks i somehow missed that.

I like to disable SIP and gut my Mac OS but i know that's not a very safe choice

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.

he got spam.

his reponse is tragic. he is being a ridiculous person writing a blog post about nothing.

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
