I have to log in to OpenAI to generate conversations but the conversations I can post on my own logged-out blog. It's the same thing OpenAI would probably say if they got sued because GPT spits copyrighted content it found on a logged-out webpage. They can't reasonably expect people to not use them for training.

> new construction with 10G Fiber Internet (You will never get this in California due to failing infrastructure)

I've had 10g fiber in three places in San Francisco and almost moved to a house in Cupertino that had 10g fiber. Not sure about the rest of California honestly.

I won't repeat what he said as it's as sourceless as what I said before, but it's a problem, builders complain about it, the infrastructure for the city is not well run. Here's two sources for problems like in the past month:

This two are the same problem: http://www.austintexas.gov/news/sanitary-sewer-overflow-repo... https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/sewer-overflow-sends-...

That comparison is ridiculous, have you been to Palo Alto? It's a mansion neighborhood like Atherton. A better comparison would be with San Jose or San Mateo that are like, normal cities. Still way more expensive than Austin but it's nowhere near the price of Palo Alto or Atherton.

Yeah that's what they said! I am not saying it's not a sound bet, honestly I hope it goes well. The thing is that nothing indicates that the new housing built there will not be sold at prices that flatten the curve. Yeah supply and demand and all that, but there will be more demand and the real estate market is good a limiting itself to the supply that keeps the prices increasing just about right for them to make a quick buck selling to a captive audience.

According to a friend that moved to Austin last year, yeah traffic is a problem but in downtown Austin in new buildings it's even worse. Sewage is a problem.

I payed >50% for two years but I was above 400k.

Honestly, coming from a third world country where I got taxed more and having had to work in Austin and Atlanta before on previous jobs, taxes are the least of my complains for California. Yeah they should fix property taxes... but my main complaint is that even though all politicians like speaking a mouthful about helping the poor and how broken healthcare is, every single government program that's supposed to help the mentally ill is utterly and completely broken beyond belief. And I'm saying this coming from Argentina that as a country has around the same population and way less GDP.

Literally the only thing about California that doesn't feel "first wordly" as all the nice places in Europe I've been to is how it deals with people that need mental health or that have housing issues. I tried discussing this with every other politician I meet or something but besides condescending smiles because of the perceived trauma they think growing up in Latin America caused (it didn't) I never get any iota of acknowledgement that something in the world is wrong. Except for the Republicans, which is the only problem in the US, apparently.

When I was working on a hardware project at Lyft I interviewed at least two Tesla engineers who said their sole reason for wanting to change jobs was that occasional commute.

I talked to several Tesla and former Tesla folks that will probably relocate because of this, and the say is that since Austin in less NIMBY than the Bay Area new housing will get built and prices will go down. It's a more complex bet than just "we move there because houses are affordable now".

You think they are trying? When VC and executives live in walled castles and own multiple rental and investment property?

I mean the hub thing and synergistic collaboration are cool but employees are not 3x more productive because of it.

I like the new keyboard, like, a lot. I have a work 2018 and my personal 2016 and prefer the new thin keyboard and hate typing on the fat one... but my work laptop didn't survive my second trip to a dusty environment. The new keyboard is literally a toy for air conditioned daily cleaned offices, I bet Apple even has to replace their own engineers laptops when they travel to warehouses or dusty shops so they may know better than us about this issue.

I have faith they will fix it, but the current thing made the Mac, which was already a finicky flimsy thing, almost impossible to use for extended periods of time on a dusty shop floor.

I know of people waiting on offers that got the call about frozen hires in Backend Engineering, Data Engineer and Data Science.

Maybe a setup to measure inertia tensor and center of mass (in that setup's axes) will be easier and I think it's what your call "measuring all angular momentums".
