employers that demand long hours do so because they have no other way to appraise employee ability.

they cannot judge a brilliant insight from a slacker that would have saved thousands of man-hours rushing the wrong way.

do you really want to work for such a company?

Mind sharing what that worthwhile problem is?
choonway · 21 days ago
I have purposely omitted the specifics as I also have given up trying to convince others interested in my worthwhile problem. If interests align, we will naturally meet.

I usually tell them it is more important that they should take some time (6 months - 1 year) to reflect in isolation to find their own worthwhile problems, and not get distracted by fads and drama.

I was like the author of the article, then I realized that I was solving problems that were created by other peoples' incompetence. Sure they were challenging, fun but they didn't bring anything postive overall. The incompetent people are still there - causing more problems.

So I decided to find a worthwhile problem that deserved my talent. And I did. And I am now even more happy than before.

I’m from the self-replicating self-reconfigurable systems side.

The problem with this is not about making the machines but the human intervention to make use of them effectively. You really need end-to-end automation to solve this.

If i don’t remember wrongly all this started due to john deere implementing DRM in their equipment. this is a political problem because the issue can be resolved by just buying chinese equivalents and changing patent/ip law.

it's already obsolete.

for USD699 (no ram and no storage) you can get this

6 SATA, 5 NVME drives, OCUlink and much more.

Here’s a good video with overlap on the reasons causing this, with current cost comparisons for Chinese made fire trucks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78nZ-JJNmzQ

even at 100% tarriffs US is still not competitive.

North Korea is a Chinese client state. As a general rule, client states are treated as extensions of the countries that control them. Iran is not a client state.

NK is more of a russian client state, not chinese.

I don't get why EE education emphasizes problems of this sort. The infinite grid is an extreme example, but solving weirdly complicated problems involving Kirchoff's laws and Thevenin's theorem was a common way to torture students back in my day...

Here, I don't think it's even useful to look at this problem in electronic terms. It's a pure math puzzle centered around an "infinite grid of linear A=B/C equations". Not the puzzle I ever felt the need to know the answer to, but I certainly don't judge others for geeking out about it.

There are two parts to education. One is to impart knowledge, the other is to filter the students.
