Don't forget that Amazon's market cap was higher in 1999 than 2009!

Looks like a fun course -- that could suck up LOTS of time if you let it.

Any bets on how long it is before github address this problem -- even though they say it is not a problem?

Many tools try to achieve similar eg. https://aws.amazon.com/rds/aurora/babelfish/

One company, CompilerWorks actually had tools that transpiled many SQL dialects. They were bought by Google https://www.crunchbase.com/acquisition/google-acquires-compi...

In 1987 my physics professor presented this proof to our class -- I always wondered why this elegant derivation of the Lorentz transform was not more widely used in undergrad physics education.

fuzzieozzie — Tue, 15 Aug 2023 04:21:53 +0000

In 2000 I lived in an apartment block in San Francisco. There were SIX WebVan delivery trucks pulled up out front making deliveries at the same time to different people. It was clear they had not even started to generate the efficiencies they needed to succeed in that business.

Of course if they could have raised money like Uber has then .....

fuzzieozzie — Sat, 15 Jul 2023 17:27:31 +0000

What is your target market for "making money"? (large or small customers). If you expect to make real money on large customers then negotiating a special relationship where you actually "get in bed" with the large customer to learn their requirements will really accelerate your product development focus - ie. give them even more of a price break IF they commit resources to help direct your product.

The reality is you WILL have problems with this large customer and you want to lay the groundwork for a give and take relationship where you will both be winners in the long run.

Cerebras has an efficiency advantage at generating LLMs (assuming IP is open). This is going to be fun to be a part of.

I have communicated tech debt very effectively as cleaning a house - "If you do not regularly clean up you're going to end up in a world of hurt!"

Warning: your house might end up looking like a hoarder's house!

In the early 2000's most startups wanted to be on the Peninsula. Young people wanted a life and lived in SF. The natural place for startups shifted to SF.

Now the Peninsula is too expensive for the young, and full of experienced people.

Could the next step be companies forming on the Peninsula by experienced execs with many remote workers?

Regardless - office rental prices have a way to fall in SF.
