By natural design, some of us won’t find life easy.

It is not your fault. It is nobody’s.

Some of these things aren’t within your control. Don’t dwell on them.

Work on the things that you can control.

The teenager who built Oculus VR in his garage, and sold it to Facebook for $2 billion, talks about the most uncomfortable argument about American manufacturing.

"You cannot divorce innovation from the act of manufacturing. You make the stuff, that's where the innovation takes place."

"We were not teaching engineers how to be engineers anymore. We're teaching them how to be high-level design shops that put together a design package that gets sent to the real engineers in China, and they actually figure out how to do the work."

"They don't get 50% more for their dollar. They get like 10x for their dollar. Things that here would take a million dollars, you do there for $50,000, $100,000."

"Their people are just genuinely extremely good. They have the world's best battery engineers, many of the world's best metallurgists, many of the world's best optical engineers."

"The largest laptop manufacturer for the Pentagon is Lenovo, which is owned by China. Their headquarters has a flagpole with the CCP party flag and then the Lenovo logo under it. It's nuts."

[hallerite @hallerite]

it's not lack of compute that's the issze. it's that in Europe, it's unthinkable to pay a guy in his mid 20s $600k salary and give him resources and freedom to train models without having oversight by a committee of gerontocratic professorswho don't keep up with the research

[Gergely Orosz @GergelyOrosz]

It’s such a head scratcher. Tried to talk to the company a while back. After months of knocking on doors (CTO, CEO, Head of DevRel) no one responded. I pinged one of their US investors who responded in hours and pulled some strings… for a seemingly annoyed Comms person to get in touch to say they might have time in 3 weeks… it was then that I just gave up. Like they wanted secrecy

Still don’t know what they do, and I’m in Europe lol

A young woman in East Texas gives birth in her car. When rushed to the hospital, doctors will quickly realize that the baby is not her own and neither is the blood she’s covered in.

Maternal Instinct — a new documentary — is now on Netflix.

Where it all began: my first pitch for @TheBoysTV eleven years ago. Since then, hundreds of actors, thousands of crew, and millions of viewers embraced this insane idea. I'm grateful beyond words, and proud that all these years later, we stayed true to this mission statement. #FYC #TheBoys @PrimeVideo

TWO ENGINEERS SHOWED THE GIT TRICKS THAT MAKE PEOPLE THINK YOU'RE A WIZARD -- THE ONES 95% OF DEVELOPERS HAVE NEVER ONCE TOUCHED

42 minutes from Johan Abildskov and Jan Krag, bending git with custom configs, attributes and hooks most people don't even know exist.

-> The moment it lands, git stops being four commands you repeat in fear. The same tool you've used for years turns out to have a whole layer built to bend to you.

Hooks that run your checks before a bad commit ever lands. Attributes that end the "it works on my machine" merge wars. Config that makes the painful parts just stop happening.

Memorizing commands was never the ceiling -> shaping git to do the work for you is. And while everyone else fights the tool by hand, the person who set it up right is shipping clean three times faster.

Most people use 5% of git and call it a day. This is the other 95% nobody showed you.

If someone at work tries to micromanage you, micromanage them back.

Send them too much feedback, ask them a lot of questions, do follow ups when they go quiet or even when you know they are busy don’t let them rest.

[The Pragmatic Engineer @Pragmatic_Eng]

What it’s like to receive a job offer directly from Satya Nadella. @kelseyhightower, former Google Distinguished Engineer, on the Microsoft offer that revealed a pay tier he didn't know existed:

“I got this email from Satya, the CEO of Microsoft.

He wrote this nice email: 'Kelsey, heard you had a good experience with the team' - remember I did the interview at the Microsoft headquarters - “heard really good things from the team, just wanted to let you know, you're going to be respected here. We're going to support you as a team.”

I'm like, damn, support as a team? Coming from the CEO?

So, number one, what an honor. This is the CEO of Microsoft. He has so many more important things to be doing than to be emailing me about a role. I opened the PDF - not very often in your career does a zero get added to the equation. And so you're looking at this like, I didn't even know that they do that.

We know that it happens. But the person that graduated from high school in 1999, that chose the A+ Certification didn't know that was available. Even while I was at Google having all the success. Google paid me pretty well too, but I didn't know you can add another zero still.

And I'm like, wow. I showed my wife and she was the one that said you should just go interview, like put your ego to the side and let's go see what's out there, so shout out to my wife.

And so I get the PDF, and I'm like, okay, this number is perfect. Honestly, I don't know what to say, but let’s just find out, is this really the only number? So I remember giving a counter: you know what, I think it should be this.

The funny thing is, Microsoft countered back higher, like we're not playing around. I'm like, oh, whoa. Now I understand that I don't understand this part of the game.”
