I think Cerebras stock going down could also be partly caused by the lock-up period ending today for 200k shares (page 73 of their prospectus) - https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2021728/000162828026...

Yea I wonder how that battery capacity graph will look like post January 2026, since Texas's SB388 specifically excludes batteries from it's dispatchable power generation requirements. That doesn't necessarily prevent batteries storage from being constructed, but it does tilt the field pretty heavily in favor of natural gas.

Pretty much any SQL book will cover it those, and there's a bunch of online SQL tutorials. UDF means user defined function, so if there's some function you want to perform in SQL but that function doesn't come out of the box, you can just write your own. And those can be defined in non-SQL syntax, such as UDF's written in python or C++, which can be pretty handy.

This assumes that every college grad is guaranteed a decent starting income. It seems that on average new grads are struggling more now than they used to to get jobs in their fields, especially higher paying jobs. And that perception is probably magnified by internet horror stories such as every 3rd post on r/cscareers.

Hey just FYI the link you posted points to a ycombinator.com page that says you've paused hiring for that role

Yea fair. What I was trying to say was that it seemed like a decision that was less the construction/development team saying "this plan isn't workable for xyz reason and we need to reconsider our approach" and more someone high up saying "we are cancelling this and we won't say why".

This is just anecdote, but my roommate's dad works in construction management specifically for semiconductor fabs, and he was working for about a year on one of Intel's new fabs in Arizona up until a few months ago when the entire project was suddenly scrapped. IIRC he got the sense it was someone high up in intel that decided to pull the plug on it.

Your writing style reminds me a lot of the titular short story in "Liberation Day" by George Saunders. I really hope you stick with writing because I think it is quite good.

The federal government is not a unitary organization. It's logically consistent to both not like the president and want congress to pass privacy laws.

New comment by AxiomaticSpace in "Why housing shortages cause homelessness"

AxiomaticSpace — Fri, 06 Dec 2024 06:18:30 +0000

I live in LA and my girlfriend worked for a long time in homeless services and in her experience you have the causality wrong. Often people either start drug habits or their existing drug habits become worse in response to homelessness. As an example, she's met half a dozen people who live on the street and smoke meth specifically to stay awake so their stuff doesn't get stolen. And I agree on your point about LAHSA being way over budgeted, much of what they're doing is a complete waste of money.

New comment by AxiomaticSpace in "Things from leaked audio of Mark Zuckerberg and his employees"

AxiomaticSpace — Thu, 04 Jun 2020 00:31:50 +0000

I think the last few years have proven what you've said really really wrong. Bigger audiences for toxic speech (on both the left and the right) tend to amplify the ideas contained in that speech, and when those ideas are publicly challenged, which they always are, they become politicized and people become entrenched in a giant shouting match that doesn't accomplish anything. People with big audiences on the internet, especially elected officials, should be held to a higher standard than the average user to facilitate better conversations about important topics, not lower standards just because what they're saying is news worthy.

Instead of a laser gauge, you could try using a camera hooked up with some edge detection software and use that to estimate the width. It probably wouldn't be as accurate, but it would definitely be cheaper.

I had a very stress inducing experience where I couldn't find something at home depot and had to ask an employee where it was, which was hard to do since talking to strangers during a pandemic is stressful even when everyone has masks on.

So I had the thought of making a chatbot that is hooked up to their inventory database that can tell you where particular items are located. I'm just building the first prototype entirely in AWS, both to learn AWS and to make it easier on myself.

I figure that shoppers will use it because talking to a chatbot feels safer than asking someone in real life, and businesses will want it because it gets people out the door faster so the lines to get in are shorter.
