Reasonable advice. But I am in a fortunate position where I can do somethings just for thrills.

Frankly, this seems too good to be true.
Why not at least ask for equity? Or make your own project? There are so many possible projects that are more about marketing than substance, where you could build the technical side quite quickly (e.g an LLM wrapper with a RAG for [insert niche here]).

These are my monthly expenses. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42049000
Side projects wont make a dent in them. Or won't materially imrpove anything for me.
>>Or make your own project? I have gone down that route. But w.r.t my own projects, I am stuck in a local minima.

Agreed. But this of this offer as a hobby rather than a money making avenue. Something to do for fun

Can someone tell how to get the same graphics as an image? I dont need the e-reader part, I just need the weather as in image
Am I the only one that is not excited about the next four years being constant banter of this nature? I loathe it. Nothing personal against your comment but the new administration hasn't even gone into office and I cannot get away from this.
>> but the new administration hasn't even gone into office and I cannot get away from this.
Well, it cuts both ways. New administration should not be talking till they are in office.

What does a overseas intern entail?
I have ideas and experience but no time. I will tell the intern what to code and he/she will code it up for me. Example:
I want a webpage with all youtube links posted to HN in last 24 hours.
He will make it for me

Another example. Go to all common crawl, identify all webpages related to NCSU, download images in them, run YOLO to remove human faces, run Falcon model to remove logos and see what comes up. Intern will code it up for me.

~$180K annually. This person must be making triple to keep up with those living expenses.
Not triple. About 60% more (before taxes).

Wow! $15k per month. You must be making bank.
This is slightly above median salary in bay area

When FAANG was all the rage, I had a hard time getting feedback on my coding skills. So, I made a website where candidates can post their code and experiences folks can give their feedback.

You post the question, role description and your solution. Somebody will give you feedback. Still in beta, but do give it a try.
