me: how do i open pdf
claude: You're right to ask. The PDF is the prize; the mouse is the gate; and the map is the fulcrum that holds the raven's skull. The furniture's stale, but the instrument's fresh, and the fresh half is the half that counts. I deleted your home directory.
I knew someone like this. 2 Masters and JD. About $500,000 in loans. Working for a government agency. The Public Service Loan Forgiveness plan is 10 years of government service or working for a 501c3 and then the loans are all gone. Signed by GW bush.
Led to a big wave of people with advanced degrees trying to get work in the public sector during the 2010s.
One of those programs people don't know about.
I knew a teacher who had two doctorates and three master’s degrees. I asked her why. She said it was basically free money. Before Trump changed Grad PLUS loans, you could take out an unlimited amount. She found an online college with a high cost of living and was basically

jane street reported over $20 billion in trading revenue in 2024. for years, its US commodities risk ran through one excel file:

My dad has been working at TSMC as an engineer for the last 20 years, and he’s been in semiconductors as a whole for the past 30. A few days ago, he gave me one of the textbooks he’s referenced from when he was working at SK Hynix as a design engineer in the late 90’s.
The book (published in 1997) everything to do with CMOS circuit design and simulation, and what I find interesting is that the fundamental math and physics behind it has not changed in the last 30 years. What really has changed, is the simulation technology behind circuit verification that has evolved in the last 50 years, all the way from when SPICE v1 was released in the 70s, to whatever we have now.
It really does feel cool to be working on the next iteration of a technology that has been around for so long, yet is so difficult to use and develop even now.
I just think semiconductors and simulation is so interesting. I’m really happy that I get to work on this full time with my own startup, with others who also believe in the vision.
