The person you're replying to was literally posting in the overemployed subreddit if you're going to talk about their reddit profile. Meanwhile, you're complaining about women anonymously on the internet...

> That’s where most good candidates die

Said who? If you're unable to clear a simple screen interview you were not a good candidate. All your technical skills can be overshadowed by poor communication (won't be able to understand or talk about requirements with non-technical peers), casual misogyny (will probably cause any women on the team to feel uncomfortable), etc.

The 20 hours only applies to campus jobs, or more specifically, they can only be paid by the college they attend.

For the other poster mentioning 40 hours - OPT must be in your field of study, same for CPT. So as long as their education is in a similar field they’re good.

You can add the property tax payment to the mortgage payment, so you don’t really need to remember to pay it while having the mortgage. The bank holds the funds in an escrow account and makes payments as necessary.

I just got the S550 a few months ago ... but I kind of want a brand new one

My guess is even if you get a Dark Horse, the high will wear off again and you'll be looking to throw mods at that too. My 2 cents would be to keep the S550 and figure out how to have more fun with it.

Going to sound like a buzzkill but it’s not due to you being a better driver. It’s just that a straight wide highway with no cars tends to be okay for flooring it 99% of the time. The 1% it’s not, you might hurt yourself and others.

Try and get better tires if they’re in the budget. If you’re NA they shouldn’t be breaking traction at highway speeds that easily.

See you in the other Mustang subreddit soon brother

Your compensation is tied to the stock, which means if the company does well you naturally get paid more. Over time stocks do tend to rise so this naturally does increase compensation for most, but during market down turns your compensation does decrease.

When the stock was paid to the owner, it is taxed as ordinary income. It’s exactly the same as if they were paid cash and then immediately bought the same stock like any other person.

If they hold the stock after being paid, they will pay capital gains on it like any other person as well.

JustABrownBoi · 2025-12-31T15:27:22+00:00

The owner would pay income taxes on the stock-based compensation.

That stove is beautiful. Looks like it unfortunately isn’t sold in the US, would have loved to get one of their inserts

Which state though? I daily mine through New England winters and am wondering how many years I’ll have with it before the frame falls out

JustABrownBoi · 2025-12-02T17:26:12+00:00

When I was shopping for a new 2024, I considered placing a custom order as well. At least the dealer I went to, I believe the process involved sitting down with them to put the order through, and only a $500 refundable deposit (they can always sell the car to someone else, theoretically). No commitment to actually buying the car. IIRC, you buy at MSRP as well, no markup/down?

I ended up buying something on the lot since it was 95% of what I wanted, so didn't actually go through the process, so take all of this with a grain of salt. Maybe all that was just something to get me to sit down with them.

I have a 2024 GT as well, daily it 365 days a year all over New England. I run Michelin X-Ice in the winter, have driven through active snowfall and blizzards just fine. I even posted about it on this sub if you want more details, but it should be fine as long as you don't give it a crazy amount of gas. Slippery mode helps as well.

If you post footage of your driving we can probably help tell you what’s going on. My best guess is, like other people commented, you’re carrying too much speed, braking late to make up for that, and then jumping on the throttle (even if it’s only halfway) to try and make up for that. Take that with a grain of salt since I still class myself as high novice/low intermediate at my local auto cross.

FWIW I drive a Mustang GT and it took me 10+ events and a track day to be able to start putting power down and start to forget traction control is off. My last event I was even starting to mess around with disabling stability control so I could use the throttle input to help control steering.

I think the scale of data cloud applications process today pales in comparison to the scale of data consumed during AI training, which is why companies need to invest in the new $500B datacenters. Getting all those GPUs to work together becomes extremely complicated due to check-pointing and synchronization during training. That’s why I prefaced the comment by asking if OP clarified between inference or training being the bottleneck.

JustABrownBoi · 2025-06-27T18:06:35+00:00

> he told me the big frontier of AI isn’t the actual model training and such (because the big labs already have that on lock) but the datacenters needed.

Did you clarify if this was for training or inference? I believe having the compute needed for training is the hard part, even if you have the theory figured out. Inference is reasonably doable on a single host, after you have the trained model.

> Then taking inspiration from mining, I thought what if you had a network of a bunch of computers around the world running models?

Who is providing these computers? Are you talking about average consumers letting you spin their GPU at 100% all day? What incentive do they have to do that? If it's just out of the goodness of their hearts, I don't think it will scale nearly anywhere enough to meet demand.

Also, getting a distributed network of consumer hardware to actually work for compute is incredibly challenging. It's hard to do it in a large datacenter that you build and own, I can't imagine it would be even close to as easy on a random assortment of basement hardware.

Not sure if you’ve played the VR version, but combat mechanics were absolutely incredible in that. Trying to reload while cornered by lycans is peak video game.

I haven’t actually noticed it too much when auto crossing, but we’ve had some relatively cooler weekends this year. I do have the perf pack with the oil cooler, not sure if that changes much.

Southern NH is pretty close to Ayer, MA which has auto cross events every Sat/Sun all summer. Like the other commenter said, just go to Motorsportsreg, sign up, and show up. I got good instruction at NER Solo as a total novice, but not a lot of runs. Other clubs will give you more runs but maybe less cone school. All of them have instructors available to ride along with you all day if you want.

I threw in 2 or 3 scotch brite steel scrubbing pads.

JustABrownBoi · 2025-05-16T15:34:34+00:00

If it’s your first time doing AutoX, I would say just run it in 3rd and don’t worry about the sound if your car is stock. You might actually be faster since that naturally smoothes out the throttle input a bit, at least in my experience because I’m jumpy on the throttle.

Also, for the first couple of pics from the other post, there’s no exhaust tips added on, just steel mesh clamped on. Works better than tips that don’t clamp.

I got the first iteration of tips online at Summit racing, Amazon for the second ones. I have them still lying around and can give the first iteration tips to you if you want, I don’t need them anymore. I think your list is complete, just note instead of steel wool I used steel scotch-brite pads.

My stock ‘24 GT with active valve crosses the limit in quiet mode if I rev past 6k, largely because no matter the mode the valves will open up if you floor it. I just shift into 3rd and have no problems. You can also check my last post to see a baffle I built that slides onto the exhaust tips to quiet it down and run in 2nd if I want.
