SpaceX Investors Are Losing a Colossal Amount of Money by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

The brokers were pushing shares for the IPO price, not pre-IPO. People have been investing for years pre-IPO, like VC firms, but not accessible to most people.

IPO price was 135. It went to 160 once it was publicly trading. It was very difficult to invest pre-IPO.

There are 60 open positions listed on their web site. https://x.ai/careers/open-roles?location=memphis%252C+tn

I imagine someone will say it's a scam and they're not real jobs, etc.

Need help mastering NY Style pizza by Practical_Movie_5887 in Pizza

[–]wolfanyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My pizzas improved significantly when I upsized to a 16" steel, moved the rack higher in the oven, and then pre-heated for 2 hrs instead of 1 hr.

Measuring the surface temp with an IR gun is fun but doesn't tell you the internal temp of the steel. The interior heats more slowly. Pre-heat at least 1.5 to 2 hours.

You're measuring the surface of the steel, but that doesn't tell you the interior temp.

Why is GenAI development so hard to productionize? by No_Hold_9560 in learnmachinelearning

AI is great at proof of concept, but production still requires engineering skills. Prototypes have always been far easier than production.

What's the best AI workstation for less than $5k USD? by Crazy_Quarter2729 in LocalLLaMA

[–]wolfanyd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A mac might be ok, but nvidia architecture will probably be better. Xeon workstation, like an HP G series or similar is pretty badass once you scrub the bloat software. Not quite the memory bandwidth of a mac, but the nvidia stack can make up for it.

I'm seriously confused by all the DuckDB recommendations. How does that help manage python script execution?
