What would be the 2024 equivalent?

I held on to the last Sony XBR Trinitron, the KD-34XBR970, for an unreasonable amount of time because the picture was so lively. Eventually sold it to a retro gamer, who was thrilled, and so was I.

I expected it to be bad, but wow.

Others are gaining market share fast, especially on S/X vs. German luxury EVs. But the whole industry is far behind where they thought total vehicle sales would be in 2023-2024, the cause being high loan/lease payments in the US, and weak Chinese consumer demand overall. So part of this is unique to Tesla, but part is an industry that was expecting 2023-4 to be much better than it has been so far.

The Sequoia puff piece on SBF remains a reminder that this is true for all of them. https://web.archive.org/web/20221109230422/https://www.sequo...

If we don't count the CPU people use the most, in their pocket computers, AKA smartphones, Intel leads by a wide margin. Otherwise, they are in 4th place.

Now all they have to do is compete with TSM, which is widely known to be a very simple thing.

I bought a pill cutter for my mother and I spent 15 minutes marveling at the design of this little piece of plastic.

Near-100% yield is some dark magic.

Not applying for jobs gives you plenty of time to argue with strangers about something you claim doesn’t matter. Good luck with all that.

I guess everyone should just give up then. Good luck.

UnitedHealth needs help badly, if you follow the news. They tell you when jobs are posted on their careers site. 311 USA jobs posted in the last 30 days with the word “software" in the title. For OP, they have 5 openings in Ireland, all posted since 2/12. Those are not just sitting there.

Just putting it out there for people, who don’t seem to know this is happening from the frequent postings like this. Also, all large companies are tech companies and finance companies now. Walmart has 1695 openings with the word “software” in the title. https://careers.walmart.com/results?q=software&page=1&sort=r...

The National Labs are most definitely hiring for all STEM roles.

I just looked at Berkeley and they have 60 openings with the word “software” in the title. https://jobs.lbl.gov/jobs/search/4993486

Best $10 I spend every month.

Tulare Lake has finally dried up https://www.sfchronicle.com/california/article/tulare-lake-g...

It keeps happening.

For my purpose — reading hourlong transcripts of conference calls and answering questions about them — it is pretty useless. GPT-4 got nerfed so many times that it is no longer useful for that. Claude 2 is now my go-to.

Not for nothing, but I was able to raise HN in my Kagi search rankings (and demote others) because I wanted to do it, not because a Googler on the Search Team made a slide deck about HN. https://help.kagi.com/kagi/features/website-info-personalize...

Not your question, but the National Labs are hiring https://nationallabs.org/work-here/careers/

All they did was put more ads in the feed.

Omg this is nonsense. Source: EV owner since 2018

It was also a pretty cramped plane, especially compared to a 747. I could not stand up straight, and I am 5’11"

Pour one out for Hap-pea and Pea-wee

Be aware of 2 things:

-That includes another 11k of returning Hollywood strikers.

-There has been a string of downward revisions for 2023, including more for October and November in this report, 71k altogether.

If you subtract all that, only 134k were added versus the November report

Nukes are expensive and take forever to build. This ship sailed 40 years ago.

Walmart has 1400 job openings with the word “software” in the title https://careers.walmart.com/results?q=software&page=1&sort=r...

That’s a separate question. I’m just an Apple customer who doesn’t want to subsidize Android customers. That’s it. Explain to me why I should.

The biggest issues are zoning and NIMBYs, and these are local. Hard to make a national push, or even a statewide push. I could write 5000 words on how that’s going in California right now (better than expected, but slow).

Why is Apple obligated to support iMessage for people who aren’t customers? This seems to be at the root of the discussion, not this silly blue bubble thing. The costs of iMessage are included in the high price of Apple devices. Why should Apple customers subsidize non-customers?
