Same experience on M4 Max .. but quality of qwen still leaves so much to be desired after getting used to virtually unlimited tokens at work. Many people on this (and similar) thread seem to believe local models would inevitably improve, and I want to believe this too, but I don’t see this ever happening without growing in size

The legalese around it is that it’s always contingent on your employment on those futures dates. It’s based on past performance, yes, but it’s not payment for past work (that’s what bonus is for), its incentive to stay longer and contribute to company’s success. When you are out of the door (for whatever reason) company looses need to incentivize you to:(

Alas this happens in all FAANG layoffs too, some lucky people get to received one more vest but nothing close to all unvested RSUs

One of those topics you randomly step into and cant stop reading. Maybe someone could recommend a book that goes along these lines?

It’s not a downside perhaps but a tradeoff. Implementing internal sampling profiler is not impossible in general (though it will depend on exact python implementation) but it would impose different overhead on the target and might skew results a lot more than external one.

Even when performance is not critical it’s possible to write (or vibe?) disastrously slow code, so having profiler handy is always a plus. It might be a deciding factor between “we must rewrite it all in Rust” and “oh we added exponential complexity by accident” and save a ton of time

Id expect his comp even before Intel to be way above that (he came from Netflix), perhaps levels info is not entirely correct for Intel or doesn’t apply to exceptional hires, fellow level compensation at FAANG seems to be more accurate there though

And how did I contradict that? My point was that he is not looking for vanity

Not being sarcastic here, a million a year is not a target compensation for engineer like him, 5-7 is probably where it starts and goes to the stars

Does he need it though? His name is literally a brand in many tech circles and very good brand at that
