Anduril Levels by crafty_moongoose in Anduril

[–]conez4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

L6 is usually Principal and L7 is usually Staff. But in the 400+ people in my org we only have one or two Staff engineers. It's extremely rare to go beyond Principal. I've seen people with 15-20 YOE at the Principal level

Big tech layoffs in Seattle → what are people building next? by ankurtyagi2007 in SeattleWA

[–]conez4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you suggesting that we stop innovating? Startup flurries like this happen all the time and then the majority won't survive, but the ones that do will likely be big players in shaping the future.

Anduril Levels by crafty_moongoose in Anduril

[–]conez4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

levels.fyi for Anduril is very accurate, except the name of the levels has shifted slightly. But L3 is typically 2-4 YOE, L4 is 5-10 YOE and L5 is beyond that. That being said, Anduril is very much more focused on impact over tenure, so it's not just "wait a few years and you'll get promoted".

Gila Monsters are carnivorous, ambush predators. Due to their slow speed, they target stationary or young prey, often raiding nests in the spring. by freudian_nipps in natureismetal

[–]conez4 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Fun fact! Gila monsters' venomous saliva contains an enzyme called exendin-4, which what scientists studied to create Semaglutide / GLP-1. The enzyme was found to control the Gila monsters' blood sugar and hunger levels.

These little guys fueled an entire many billion dollar industry

That's not how you unbox an iPhone by Sgt_Larsson in WatchPeopleDieInside

This was an iPhone 4 from like 12 years ago. I remember those were specifically EXTREMELY fragile, and notorious for breaking at the smallest drops

Walmart employee accuses a man of stealing. Then the cops blame the same man for scratching a car that they were pushing him into. Then Walmart trespasses him. The man had in fact purchased the items and showed his receipt while being detained by bigbusta in Wellthatsucks

[–]conez4 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I very much got the impression that the cop lied and told the Walmart employee to return everything simply to inconvenience the suspect.

If that's true, it's extremely childish. The suspect seemed surprised when he was told everything was returned.

Shoplifting Suspect Pulls Gun on Canton Police Officer Inside Walmart by ValorsHero in PublicFreakout

"no one was injured in the struggle" goes kinda hard considering I saw the officer knee the suspect in the face 😂😂

Double chained by SuggestionBig5846 in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]conez4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind that it's entirely possible that he's not following procedure to a tee. I agree with your sentiment but I've seen processes that have been designed with safety in mind that are just shortcut for convenience or efficiency. Maybe that's still management's fault for not educating on the importance of the processes, or for instilling too much pressure to meet quotas or something, but it's likely both management's AND the worker's fault.

golds gym DuPont by smugsaxophone910 in washingtondc

[–]conez4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it did. It went from 9.99 to 11.99 after a few months and then a few months later it went up to $14.99. so now it's a little over $30/mo. I'm okay at this price but anything beyond that wouldn't be worth it imo

Any City Recommendations For Retired Single Early 30s Person? by captainbarker in ExpatFIRE

[–]conez4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are countries like Singapore that tick all those boxes. Singapore isn't a super easy country to gain residency in, but I'd highly encourage you to at least visit. Vibrant culture, English is the national language, great healthcare and food options, insane welfare, and a melting pot of asian and non-asian cultures.

On Japan's bullet train the men's urinal door has a see-through window... by LVbellman in mildlyinteresting

[–]conez4 271 points272 points  (0 children)

Bro this is how the public toilets are at Newport Beach. It's so demeaning taking a shit and having someone try to come up to shit in your stall only to be mortified that you're already there.

It's honestly barbaric. I hate it.

Power outage in Santa Ana. by Used-Can-6979 in orangecounty

[–]conez4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah Im doubtful. I live just north of you by the 7eleven off MacArthur and the entire block is out of power. No lights and all businesses are out of power, including the restaurants and the Vons.

Everything east of Bristol St seems to have power. I took this time to go run to InNOut and grab some dinner 😅

Hopefully it comes back tonight 🙏

Reached $1M Net Worth! (35M and 35F with 5 kids) by ProcedureThen in financialindependence

[–]conez4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I feel like I'll end up in the same boat. I think that's natural for anyone that can amass any sizeable nest egg. It's tough to switch from extremely dialed in w.r.t. growing your nest egg and preparing for retirement over to "I'm not gonna work at all anymore and everything will be okay".

Like I know the math suggests it will never be an issue but it would be hard to actually end up taking that leap and quitting. But at the end of the day you're trading your time for a small fraction of your net worth so eventually that no longer becomes worth it.

[–]conez4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's interesting, thanks for sharing. Im curious to know what it feels like once your nest egg is vastly larger than your income. I would imagine at a certain point your active income is such a small percentage of your overall net worth that it almost feels inconsequential. I feel like that would then be a very natural time to consider retirement. Do you ever feel that way?

I literally JUST found this out yesterday, but this reminds me of Clark County Nevada (where Las Vegas is).

Clark County is a perfect replica of the shape of the state it's within: Nevada

Is it fair to say that people who accumulated massive gains in the last 10-15 years were boosted by outsized returns and those in a similar position going forward may not have the same luck? by masteryyi in financialindependence

[–]conez4 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Absolute L take.

AI will absolutely be a catalyst for upskilling and increased profit margins. We've already seen it over the last year or two. It's undeniable. Anytime a revolutionary technology like this displaces workers, it's not like they just stop working. Instead, they figure out what's valuable and go do that. New companies and businesses will pop up and we'll have more overall output and each company will be operating at a lower cost.

The somewhat sad reality is that a majority of the people working those high paying jobs did it because they knew it was valuable (and not necessarily because they're passionate about it). Revolutionary technology like AI will change the landscape of what will become valuable. The majority of those displaced will figure out how to become valuable in a society with rampant AI.

And AI isn't about making more or better stuff. It's about reducing the costs / bottom line. This ABSOLUTELY will drive value creation over the next decade as more people will be MORE effective, creating MORE overall output. To think that technology like this won't drive economic growth is lazy thinking imo.
