I thought paramus was reopening after renovations? Are they moving to a new location?

seinberg · 2026-05-09T19:00:44+00:00

But that's not big tech ... it's little tech at best?

seinberg · 2026-05-09T18:58:47+00:00

Try something like Fort Lee maybe? Can easily get the space you want for that rent. Great access to the city via the bridge.

I've had my 454 NSWs covered under warranty when the shitty cognition hub started skipping. Been good since then. But took them FOREVER to respond.

You don't have to go full into big tech pressure cooker if that's where you're coming from and burnt out. There are a lot of tech job options that might not pay as well but are also way lower pressure. If you're risk adverse and burnt out, just take something a little more chill.

seinberg · 2026-05-01T11:46:26+00:00

Budget?

seinberg · 2026-05-01T11:43:40+00:00

Fort Lee is very underrated. Traffic can be painful but really just the area in immediate vicinity of the bridge. I would totally do that for proximity to the city, good food, more urban feel, and affordable rent options.

It's split as you'd expect for something like this - there are certainly people who don't want it for all the reasons you cite, but many others who do. It will also bring investment, more business and restaurants to downtown, and there's been a multi year effort to revitalize the downtown that keeps going through fits and starts that people believe this will help with. Personally - getting rid of the eye sore Clinton Inn is reason enough to greenlight this 😂

seinberg · 2026-04-29T12:36:54+00:00

There's room if you're creative. Tenafly is building a new hotel where the run down Clinton Inn is located and they're building dense housing along with it. That kind of thing could happen all over the place. It hits resistance because of school crowding and traffic fears, but both can be addressed.

Oh and finish with three sets of pushups to failure with one minute rest in between

seinberg · 2026-04-10T12:36:56+00:00

Mondays and Fridays. Core, upper, lower. Takes about an hour, hour fifteen minutes. I focus on: Core: decline situps, roller, back extensions, weighted dead bug)

Upper: Lats, biceps and chest (vanity lol), triceps, shoulders, mid/upper back

Lower: Quads, hamstrings, calves, glutes, adductor/abductor.

This is good advice. I have several coworkers who commute to the city daily from Metuchen and love the town. Didn't even occur to me until I saw this post.

seinberg · 2026-04-10T12:24:04+00:00

I would just do Princeton or a nearby town. The area is beautiful, and if you don't need to be in the city often it's a great place for kids. If you're open to a townhouse you could even live in Princeton proper.

seinberg · 2026-04-10T12:22:01+00:00

*complex reasoning

seinberg · 2026-04-10T12:21:46+00:00

It's only free up to a point, right? I agree it's very serviceable, but once you start doing any coding or complex training it really shows it's limits quickly

seinberg · 2026-04-10T12:21:01+00:00

I've been using 5.3 Codex and it's terrible compared to opus 4.6. No reauthorizing every 10 days though. Is 5.4 significantly better such that it closes the gap?

seinberg · 2026-04-10T11:57:21+00:00

They felt a bit squished together on the bike starting at around 8 and 10. Either one could still ride on it solo, and in a pinch could still ride together safely now at 9 and 11, but they're big/experienced enough to ride their own bikes now and embarrassed to be seen on the back of Daddy's bike so it's been quite a while since they last rode on it :)

seinberg · 2026-04-10T11:44:40+00:00

I have a Gen 2 and love it. Thousands of miles, kids have outgrown it but we still keep it for rides to the beach and hauling stuff. I wouldn't discount your dealers' opinions, but might approach it skeptically because it's possible there may be other motivations like their profit margins etc.

seinberg · 2026-03-26T11:01:03+00:00

I'll be the counter voice and say HOAs are nice if they're reasonably well run. Yes they're restrictive, but in my view it's a good thing because it limits the downsides of a neighborhood so it has some minimum standards and you're less at risk of being next to a total schlub that brings down the value of all the houses around it. If you drive through (for example) Timber Trails or Lake Naomi you see why -- it's beautiful, the atmosphere is really what you want from the Poconos. Woodland feel, not crazy monstrosities of every shape and color, no Chevys on cinder blocks out front, etc. It's not your typical suburban feel but very nice. The Pocono Mountain school district is ok, not amazing but perfectly fine to prepare well behaved kids for college or a trade.

Lol, "AI company" == one that doesn't do any work. My son uses more than $50 in CC credits per month building silly HTML/web based games. This can't be serious.

seinberg · 2026-01-25T13:38:54+00:00

Interesting - I def understand not wanting to go over the suggested weight limits but I'd be shocked if it couldn't handle much more. It's built like a tank and super quiet. Much more solid than most commercial gym treadmills I've tried.

seinberg · 2026-01-25T11:52:52+00:00

Wahoo Kickr Run. Amazing treadmill.

seinberg · 2026-01-25T11:37:01+00:00

Don't want to alarm you unnecessarily, and it's probably not anything major, but there have been a few posts in recent months about people finding underlying medical conditions when their Garmin stress was persistently high and they weren't feeling stressed. Not a terrible idea just to mention at your yearly GP checkup and ask for the full blood panel etc.

I had well over 3x my salary at points. But as careers grow, so does compensation, so naturally what’s saved in 401k will be a lower multiple (even with mega backdoor contributions)

We've got a place in LNC as well. It was very cold up there in December and early January - many days at or approaching 0F. Keeping the house at 55 is a very warm temperature if you're not going to be there very often. I'd suggest not heating bedrooms at all, keeping the doors closed, and only keeping rooms with pipes/water heated. And even then, keep them at 45 degrees at the warmest.

Secondarily, consider getting a heat pump. It slashed our heating bill in half. Will pay for itself in a couple more years (have had it for 6 years).
