boyka··on Germany tests 4-day workweek amid labor shortage
Even in tech, in Germany a 15h work week, i.e., a 36%-40% part time job’s salary would cover taxes, rent and rent utilities, and basic health insurance. No food, clothing whatsoever.

Also in most countries of this world, charging an EV effectively means charging with a majority of energy derived from burning gasoline (or equivalents).
boyka··on Positive news from 2023

Thanks, this is incredible! As a Doyle fan, I didn't know this and am looking forward to reading Kareem's novels.
boyka··on GPT-Prompt-Engineer
Gradient descent type optimization is far from "trying random things until one of them works without really knowing why". You can calculate all partial derivatives and understand the impact.

The degradation effect paper is authored by among others James Yu, Kate Hsu, Shinder Chen (employees of NK producer) and Ayako Ishii (company involved in NK supply chain). Take it with a grain of salt.
boyka··on GPTs Are GPTs: An Early Look at the Labor Market Impact Potential of LLMs
Given that the primary author is OpenAI affiliated and some of the assumptions are far fetched (e.g., on programming - not even coding) this reads like a sponsored post pamphlet to me.

Try time periods with length at least 20y. Does that statement still hold true?
boyka··on U.S. cancer death rate has dropped by a third since 1991
Thanks for the thorough overview.

Can you elaborate on

boyka··on Tesla’s dropping share price takes valuation below ExxonMobil’s
10k is still half of recently re-IPOd Porsche profit per car though. That probably doesn't explain the majority of their valuation. Especially given that Porsche are similarly priced [0] and don't have revenue from CO2 certificate sales which are 20% of Tesla profits [1].

boyka··on Tesla’s dropping share price takes valuation below ExxonMobil’s
> And you know what that is? I hope you are a billionaire. Please tell us what it is and how you calculated that.

Please review the HN guidelines on snarky low effort comments.

If you value billionaires and their assessment of reasonably calculated P/E you might want to consider Buffets assessment to close almost the entire BYD position at a P/E of 50.

Excellent read, I wonder what other readers think about it

boyka··on The Beanie Baby Bubble of '99
Prices will stay high as long as buyers are not paying out of pocket. Once they have to pay more out of pocket with rising mortgage rates, they will notice that they weren't able to afford it in the first place and people will need to get rid of what they can't afford to keep paying.
boyka··on The dangers of high status, low wage jobs
I was wondering: is being an influencer a low status high paying job? Because that is who journalists are indirectly competing with if we funnel ad-spend through until it reaches media.
boyka··on YouTube algorithm recommends videos that violate its own policies: study
I stream music from YouTube because of its superior recommendation algorithm (in comparison to, e.g., Spotify). The recommendations that I didn't know prior to them being suggested to me are spot-on.

This must be entirely based on my views and non-specific data from my Google account, as I do not engage (like, dislike, comment).
