Why doesn't OpenAI offshore and reduce expense by 80%
I am recent computer science PhD graduate but I constantly feel being behind the latest developments in tech industry! I really don’t understand e.g. how the distributed mining of coins work, how people develop NFT platforms and so on. The amount of development is overwhelming in e.g, crypto/NFT, VR, meta, … And I have a scarce free time remained after work & family time. How can I catch up? Can you recommend some good quality resources? Ideally podcasts that one listen in the dead times. I don’t much like overhyped shallow resources that are targeting general audience or teenage gigs:-) TC: 100k€ YoE: 1.5
Most crypto/NFT stuff is grift, so just stick with Wikipedia and whitepapers For overall tech, there's a great podcast called Unsupervised Learning that covers latest trends in tech, ML, cybersecurity, and culture.
I don't think you'll learn how things work by listening to podcasts. They are generally dumbing down complex problems for the mass audience. Nothing wrong with it if you are after basic knowledge but you won't "understand".
joe rogan for science
No
Absolutely not. You will be stupider after watching joe rogan than you were before
Highly recommend stratechery/Ben Thompson - when I want to sound smart I quote him(and give credit ;) )
I don't recommend podcasts for your foundational questions. For crypto, go and read white papers and supplement that knowledge with what you can find on YouTube. Satoshi's whitepaper on bitcoin is a classic in its simplicity, I would suggest you get started there.

Following. I used to spend time on hacker news but it was a lot of time investment.
