No judgement here. And you are right btw; we are biased constantly in everything we do, and it's a better person than you our me that can truly dodge it! I read a study a while ago…

Any elite selection process has high risk for not selecting the best people. Either due to corruption or, even more likely, institutional biases. Malcolm Gladwell has a few episode…

Congrats Hannah. I'll pile on with my own anecdote; I've run an internal conference at work for several years and we always book an external speaker. She remains my (close) second …

As I understand it; the point is to ask for an SVG which would demonstrate a conceptual understanding of what is being asked for and that is an important test IMO. What sufficientl…

Agreed. And more; the Macbooks are pretty much the same - some are god approximations, some are terrible, all of them are recognisably a MacBook. And if you start using it they can…

Nowhere near the OP (UK) but I've noticed a lot of fun-only lanes arent bothering to rent shoes and just let you wear whatever you have.

Important context is; he is speaking to a generally small-c conservative. So 3) he is well aware of his audience and is talking to them directly.

It's kinda a shame; I've noted Paul is leaning into the right wing rhetoric more and more on X, and then more in this speech. It's a shame. Both AOC and PG are often right in their…

That's totally fair and things may change. For me its the history and the fact I can come back to it. If I am honest I believe my final solution will be a combination of Open Claw,…

Some of the advantages are second order. For example; ChatGPT is replacing my Google searching. Not necessarily because it's better, or because it's summaries are better than Googl…

Obviously I know nothing about your product, so completely uninformed! But as an enterprise buyer $50/m and $10K/m is the same bucket in terms of cost. No one will blink until arou…

Your getting that interest because it looks like a steal. Ultimately those businesses couldn't care less about $50/m (except to chance it) but they want - or even need - the enterp…

I agree with you, but seperate point in many respects - the conversation was about replacing existing robust medical infrastructure. I fully agree that AI could extend access; but …

Doctors make errors all the time though, so the real argument is about the error percentage. If AIs is lower then it's safer (but it's hard to have that convo, I recognise). Beside…

What matters ultimately is the system achieves your goals. The clearer you can be about that the less the implementation detail actually matters. For example; do you care if the UI…

So, rollback and try again with the insight. AI makes it cheap to implement complex first drafts and iterations. I'm building a CRM system for my business; first time it took about…

I meant that frame very deliberately. Use of the word AI is misleading people that LLMs are intelligent. They model what looks like intelligence but with very hard limits. The two …

Comment #46185674
I just feel this is a great example of someone falling into the common trap of treating an LLM like a human. They are vastly less intelligent than a human and logical leaps that ma…

I question whether the original death here would have been tracked as rabies Vs heart attack. Which also suggests perhaps it is slightly more common than data suggests

Bad mediators meditate everything. Good mediators focus on the intractible.

If a manager is handling (almost) all disputes of all sorts, then they will fundamentally lack authority to enforce an outcome on a real dispute. They simply are too involved becau…

You may not mean it but I do think sometimes framing it this way implies leading and managing is something that requires less ability (it's a skill in its own right). What I think …

I suspect this is written by someone who stepped into managing a team and no further. My reflection overall is; he's probably heard of servant leadership but not understood it? It'…

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say NextJs with Auth.js is pretty boring technology. I'm struggling to see what you'd choose to do differently here? Edit: actually I'll go f…

I wouldn't call that accidental complexity? It's just a set of preferences. Your last point; feels a bit idealistic. The point of code is to achieve a goal, there are ways to achie…
