  • This is such an unbelievably bad take.

    First, Musk has always been a tool, a nepo baby, and an asshole. Just because American liberals only recently noticed this doesn’t mean he used to be great.

    Second, this isn’t the case of Starlink being State owned and controlled, it’s the case of the State being Starlink owned and controlled. That’s what was happening in Ukraine and what will continue to happen. If you think for a second that Musk is beholden to anything or anybody I’ve got a rusty polygon ridden death trap to sell you.


  • I’ve been in engineering leadership in early and mid stage start ups in San Francisco for a number of years. Comp varies a bit (the earlier stage the company the more ISO equity I get - for anybody not familiar these are options that are basically worth nothing but in the event of an exit opportunity might be worth tremendously more - vs working for a public company you’d often get RSUs that you could immediately sell or divest) but base in the low 300s. This is in the bay area, so actual purchasing power when compared to cost of living is more like mid 100s elsewhere in the US.







  • In deep learning generally open source doesn’t include actual training or inference code. Rather it means they publish the model weights and parameters (necessary to run it locally/on your own hardware) and publish academic papers explaining how the model was trained. I’m sure Stallman disagrees but from the standpoint of deep learning research DeepSeek definitely qualifies as an “open source model”

    Two Norwegians are actually like 14 different languages. I had a girlfriend from Trondheim, i had learned “nynorsk” while living in Sognogfjordane and had a much easier time understanding people in Aarhus where we lived vs her dialect.



  • I always love when a fly gets stuck in the car before a cross country road trip. Drive for hours and hours, maybe it doesn’t escape when you get gas, and finally it exits the vehicle multiple states later. Does it blow the fly’s mind? Or is it like “welp I guess I’m in Texas now”? Do the local flies judge his funny accent?
