would be hilarious if Altman was directly hired by Microsoft to head their AI teams now.

I like how OP commenter is essentially arguing that the government should regulate journalism, which fundamentally misunderstands the role of journalists -- that is, it is a direct check and balance on the government, except that it relies on the free market for competitive regulation. A journalism outlet which consistently gets things wrong SHOULD fail. Trying to regulate journalism massively fails not only in its intent to reduce errors, but also in its implementation.

sure, but what i'm saying, is were all the actual unique positions listed, not were each individual position for each job listed .... make sense?

but were all 30k jobs listed? I'm assuming the positions listed were nowhere near close to the positions they need to hire for. As in, they probably havent even listed for a lot of the roles.

That said, I really didn't read the article :o

just as an fyi, most people take mortgages for anywhere between 2 and like, 5 times their annual salary. I think my mortgage right now is about 3x my salary. So dont worry about that too much. I used to stress out a lot about ANY debt, but i've learned to cope with it a bit better. You're super early in your career (even pre-career), so you've got plenty of time to work these things out. I'm confident you'll do just fine with all of those things. commute can be tricky, but if youre in an area where housing is that expensive, i'm sure the public transportation is decent quality. Buses and trains work great for morning/afternoon work commute.

i seem to recall something about some carbon technology recently that is supposedly the next big revolution in semiconductors, and might revive Moore's Law? I wanna say it was about how carbon nanotubes can be used as an excellent semiconductoer, and because their width is at the atomic scale, they can result in even smaller transistors.

or something to that effect. Not sure where I read it tho. Maybe on here

I mean, to be fair, everyone thought the soviet union was ironclad, and a lot of people were surprised when it fell.

that said, i'm not optimistic that communist china will reform any time soon.

im a little perplexed why the phrase 'oral' was at all used here. It literally means "spread by word of mouth" -- but this is a text format. although this is probably a little bit nitpicky, i guess.

you could make a strong argument that the 'winner-takes-all' electoral votes in states that have winner-takes-all systems is essentially already doing what the proposal to effectively eliminate the electoral college is doing -- it's saying that individual votes dont count, only the collective whole.

if the company was lying to VC's, is it possible for them to recoup their investments outside of a civil lawsuit? I'm imagining some sort of criminal fraud investigation could happen, but dont really know.

hell, or even just good ole 'institutionalism'. "Deep state" sure does imply conspiracies afoot, and it's hardly such a thing. really it's just plain ole bureaucracy

also basically any 'balance transfer' option on pretty much every credit card ever.

> towing capacity

what? Electric vehicles are vastly superior in towing capacity. The Model X from tesla can TOW a boeing jet -- 230,000 pounds. Now that has some tradeoffs for range, i believe. but in terms of actual towing capacity, it's leaps and bounds ahead of any other vehicle capable of towing. if you'd said 'towing range', i might be willing to accept that.

range itself is also just not really a concern any more. 300+ miles of range on a single charge is more than enough for the vast majority of drivers.

winter performance is possibly somethign to worry about, but when you can charge overnight at your home, you can still leave every morning with a 'full tank', so it's also just not really a concern any more.
