it blows my mind how big part of the economy is: - "there was no software for this part so we patched it with more people" - "our customer doesn't know what to do because our software is bad so we patched it by hiring more people" it's probably like 10-40% of white collar?

it makes sense, there are thousands of workflows like this at every company, each workflow takes hours to understand, and you cant put traditional engineering resources on it

one main thing stopping hackers is that it's easier to make money from being a good guy than a bad guy so most hackers are idiots but now it's both 100x more profitable AND easier to hack so this might stop being true

I’m hiring a full time creative operator I made this video in 48 hours, I will teach you how Must enjoy talking to AI researchers and hollywood cinematographers. In-person 6 days a week in SF. Get equity in top companies. 5k referral bonus. Duties may include:
Last month, we demonstrated high-rate alchemy: turning mercury into real, stable gold, beating CERN’s record by a factor of 10. Last week, we enriched isotopes in the world’s most powerful plasma centrifuge, beating the Soviet record that stood for 40 years. Now, we’re building a fusion reactor in San Francisco to achieve record power density.

you don't have to hide that you want to win everyone here already wants to win. it requires huge effort to work in sf or have a big following the decision is between lying that you don't care, or being honest and let people make informed decisions. choose honesty rant:

the reason i choose the honesty game is because the "i care about status but pretend not to care" game is highly complex, competitive, and hard to know what to hillclimb. mostly genetics so i invented my own game, honesty. never compete or you will not win

if you talk to a "high status but pretends not to care", you can point out the psychology behind an action for status such as the thread above and they just turn quiet. it's very interesting. never compete

Replying to @drgurner
you are literally possessed by status and your career depends on it only people whos lives purpose is status have an urge to point out how "low status it is to chase status" how ironic, pretending not to care, and at the same time cite WSJ in your bio 😂😂

Buried within gabriel’s tendency to provocateur-maxx, the basic point he’s making in this thread is that when choosing your early career moves, you should almost always take the high status/prestige option. And he’s right. I’ll shit on consulting plenty, but working at an MBB was unequivocally the best career decision I ever made and it continues to pay enormous dividends.
people need to status max so much more high status people saying "chasing status is bad" is such an effective way of keeping everyone below them literally the only reason why you care about a person you have not met is because they've done something publicly approved rant:

Cancer patients with the same diagnosis often have very different tumor biology. Molecular testing can reveal underlying differences, but that's slow and expensive. Introducing Holon-S1, our platform to predict genes and biomarkers from routine pathology slides. • beats two other models at predicting spatial gene activity in a controlled comparison • has identified potentially novel biomarkers in breast cancer and colon cancer • evaluated across 16 organ types and more than 15 scanners, using slides from both formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded and fresh-frozen tissue. We believe Holon-S1 has the potential to help researchers find new biomarkers in slides they already have, discover treatment targets, and bring more personalized cancer care within reach!
