This is not a unicorn. It's a donkey with a dildo strapped on its head.

It's not gambling capitalising on stupid people's response to stupid people. Watch the market open today :)

If they do some corrections, the big guys will use it as a window to get rid of high risk investments onto smaller inexperienced investors riding the hype. That'll just blast the market further.

The confidence is gone. The risk is high whatever happens. The lowest risk strategy is now betting on market failure.

That's exactly what I've been doing. It was a no brainer. Made enough in 2 days to buy me a new car.

I figure they've been playing Minecraft too much.

Yep. Facts are usually found out during the SEC investigation but we know that isn't going to happen now...

I've been here a long time (not this account) and have heard this many times. They all died or became irrelevant.

You missed the end of the supply chain. Paying users. Who magically disappear below market sustaining levels of sales when asked to pay.

It’s not even approaching the asymptotic line of promises made at any achievable rate for the amount of cash being thrown at it.

Where’s the business model? Suck investors dry at the start of a financial collapse? Yeah that’s going to end well…

You clearly missed something in the former or latter or do not know how to verify if stuff is as expected.

Usually I build out the DC bias model (static operating point), test it in LTspice, then add the AC/small signal model on top. Or large signal model for switching etc. Everything generally works unless I did something stupid or it’s RF where things get a little less predictable.

No. This book won’t teach you that because based on the author’s previous work he doesn’t either. He knows how to sell books.

If you really want to know how transistors work and how to use them properly it’s going to be difficult as they sit on a fairly large pile of algebra and theory. If you don’t know this you might be able to get simple circuits working by cutting and pasting bits but you won’t be able to get past that ever.

The best references on this are actually The Art of Electronics. Not necessarily the main book but the associated student manual. Also the book Experimental Methods in RF Design by Wes Hayward actually has the most useful functional description and modelling approach of transistors.

It’s a fucking awful book. Sorry. It’s just terrible. It looks good but it’s mostly useless.

In the path to self value people explain their worth by what they say not what they know. If what they say is horse dung, it is irrelevant to their ego if there is someone dumber than they are listening.

This bullshit article is written for that audience.

Say bullshit enough times and people will invest.

They are bendy as hell - I have a couple of colleagues with them.

Also on that I think they should do away with the modular port things anyway. They're a suboptimial use of space and limit the total number of ports you can have. The real problem is that the ports on most laptops are soldered directly to the motherboard which results in extreme expense if you kill one. Just give us some replaceable ones like the current MacBook line. They're on an easy to remove daughterboard and purchaseable online.

I'm the person who has to clean up the garbage out. Most people have no idea if it's garbage or not. In fact I'd argue that they have little ability to assess quality having never been exposed to it. That's the only reason this technology has any interest. Not because it's good but people aren't good enough to tell if it isn't.

On that note, I'm sure Sonnet 3.7 does indeed approach the asymptote of not good enough better than Sonnet 3.5.

I never started. They only generate substandard garbage and I have higher standards than that.

I hope you’re right as I’m betting on the short as well. Made a crap load on TSLQ a while back.

I went from a low risk investor to betting on US doing stupid stuff and stated making real money. Cognitive dissonance investment I think.

Yeah even sensible looking decisions can backfire. Am in the UK. Had to scrap my .eu domain due to brexit.

Unfortunately no it's not a joke. It's really fine for big infrastructure companies, think Google etc. But a lot of people will design complicated shit due to architectural ignorance or to make their resume look good and this will result in Kubernetes looking like a good idea to run the resulting large amounts of complicated shit. Then you realise it's complicated and lots of people need to look after it which escalates the problem.

After a few years you work out that holy shit we now have 15 people looking after everything instead of the previous 4 people and pods are getting a few hits an hour. Every HTTP request ends up costing $100 and then you wonder why the fuck your company is totally screwed financially.

But all the people who designed it have left for consultancy jobs with Kubernetes on their resume and now you've got an army of people left to juggle the YAML while the CEO hammers his fist on the table saying CUT COSTS. Well you hired those feckin plums!

etc etc.

Lots of them are on here. People have no idea how to solve problems any more, just create new ones out of the old ones.

Never seen any DIP-8 transistors. Usually the discrete arrays like the CA30xx are DIP-14. Personally I'd read the label on the chip.

This is a poorly contrived article which basically has no academic rigour at all, makes completely uncited statements and finishes in "clinical trails needed". Urgh. At best it's a hypothesis and that's pushing it.

If it wasn't for Kubernetes we'd need 1/3rd of our operations team. We're keeping unemployment down!

Where’s the documentation and API contracts? How can I get my notes data out?

Indeed. If they really gave a shit they'd be getting Apple to open up their APIs so we can get data out of Reminders and Notes etc without having to resort to necromancy and hacking...

Apple need one of these https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/

I do understand systemd well. It’s not great. But less terrible than the pile of crap it replaced. And that’s probably good enough.

There’s vibe rewrites though!

I pirated music from the radio too!

It's not that bad in London. Mid-range tech salary is £70-80k and you can get a decent 2 bedroom apartment for £380k somewhere nice. Even easier if there are two of you. I'm a bit higher than that but there's nowhere else in the UK or Europe I can have as much disposable income as I do now. I know because I tried.

You can get an objectively good but objectively useless qualification by studying hard. The trick is to pick something not objectively useless. My daughter did and jumped into a high salary job straight away.

The actual cost is fucking your customers up by cutting costs after being sold the ideology not the tool (the tool is irrelevant). That hasn’t changed and this is just another hammer to make it worse. Customers and businesses will tire and revenue will not make ends meet (hint: it doesn’t now).

This hammer is however one which becomes stale very quickly unless you keep throwing megawatts and billions of dollars at it constantly. Thus when the bubble bursts it will break all growth predictions instantly and cause a major collapse.

It’s going to be a meaty train wreck and a huge opportunity and I can’t wait. Reckon I’ll retire in 5 years.
