akshayt··on Apple introduces M4 chip
They are referring to integrated npus in current cpus like in the intel cote ultra.

They explicitly mentioned in the event that the industry refers to the neural engine as a NPU

akshayt··on New 13- and 15‑inch MacBook Air with M3 chip
The zephyrus g14 2023 should be in the same ballpark https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-rog-zephyrus-g14-14-165hz-...

The 2023 version is made from magnesium alloy with plastic at the back while the macbook is unibody aluminium.

The 2024 version is aluminium unibody like the macbook and the new speakers are nearly as good as macbook ones from the reviews I have read. However I have only been able to find the 4070 model which is much more expensive than the macbook. There is also the XPS 14 but it is also more expensive than the macbook

Edit :- Found a 4060 model of the g14 https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-rog-zephyrus-g14-2024-14-o...

If you get the m3 air with 16gb ram and 512gb ssd the g14 is 100 dollars more expensive but the price will probably drop to lower than the macbook in sales

akshayt··on Stripe hiring issues make some lose job offers
My guess why higher your reputation is the fragile it becomes is because the more reputation does not necessarily make the effects of negative thoughts against the company weaker but rather makes people trust you more and willing to stick around for longer. If a well reputed company or a person does a major mishap, people are more willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and have a higher chance of going back despite the mishaps as long as they are not very big or in a way that sends red flags because they trust the person or company due to having a good reputation

Then why is it so brittle in big companies? Because the mishap mentioned here of Stripe rescinding the candidate and others we tend to hear about are pretty major and enough to erode trust significantly and in turn reputation.

When smaller negative things like Amazon not donating a large amount of money to curl but it was short lived and faded easily and probably nobody remembers it but bigger bad things we frequently hear about big companies such as poor work environment in Amazon is pretty hard to forget and no amount of good reputation unless something big enough shows that it is not true it will be on the back of mind for a long time.

In smaller businesses people expect negative things to happen more frequently and nobody remembers since it is normal for people and reputation is unaffected unless something extremely bad happens.

Hence even if you have a good reputation negative things will break it more often than in smaller companies because you have far higher standards to hold to maintain while small companies dont't and their reputation does not go down as much as bigger companies
