You can argue that reverse engineering anything is as hard if not harder than engineering something. I can’t imagine distillation is any different.

Just a note, be careful on your laptop in the front passenger seat. If you get into an accident, the airbag is pushing that device right towards your head.

Curious have any of you tried the Charachorder? It's supposed to be the fastest "keyboard" to type on.

It’s called marketing and value signaling. Doesn’t mean they believe what they spew.

when the waiter first comes to the table, you listen for their name and remember it. at the end of the meal, you raise your hand, state their name and when they look your way, cross your two index fingers to indicate "close out".

is this because the LLM actually reasoned on a better design or because it found a better design in its "database" scoured from another tenured engineer.

One thing not pointed out in the article, but I would like to hear others perspective on, is what happens at the 4 year mark when all options are fully vested and exercisable. This is a scenario for employees that have been there long-term. Should requests be made for further option grants? Should employers think about further option grants to retain employees? What are people’s thoughts and experiences?

New comment by darod in "Wall Street’s ‘Private Rooms’"

darod — Tue, 18 Mar 2025 12:52:50 +0000

Many comments are saying that these rooms have been created to give fund managers the ability to execute large trades while keeping the price similar or close to what is available on the open market. I guess my question is why should they should be allowed to be protected from this type of risk? If they were not protected from this large type of risk, then maybe we would have more competition in the large fund manager space because, like hedge funds have experienced, after managing a certain amount of money there is a diminishing return as others will see and follow your trend.

darod — Mon, 08 Jan 2024 15:30:02 +0000

I appreciate the grit but don't align with the definition. One could argue that you made 1 startup with several products and the most successful one would be what you pivot to.

Not understanding the haterade with Minis. I’ve owned mine since 2015 and I’ve had no major issues. The engine is snappy, it handles great in cornering, easy to park, etc etc.

This is an interesting position to take. As someone who’s in the middle of chemotherapy I don’t think anyone’s in a position to judge me if I’m not interested in putting myself through this treatment anymore. They have no skin in the game and they’re not the ones having to deal with the side effects.
