I think this is the type of answer that is frustrating to non-Germans. Hey don't look at that person who got promoted ahead of you despite you being more qualified. Look here inste…

Please explain. Thanks isn't as self evident as your statement assumes.

I'm not sure about the cost. A lot of Mumbai's middle class housing is 30-40 floor towers. These are flats that sell for well under 200k, most under 100k. Labor cost is lower in In…

Can't agree more. We can also predict with some confidence that in a year or two, supply would have adjusted and ram will be cheaper in the long run. We benefit from the expanded d…

The course on deeplearning.ai are a good starting point. Anthropic and OpenAI both have decent stuff on there, plus their own docs have examples.

Is there any period in history when the young people reported being as happy or happier than the older cohort?

I've asked before - I am not clear what the massive boost is other than saving a few days or weeks at the beginning. I believe all taxation, labor compliance and other such regulat…

Asia doesn't hate AI. It may be true that AI is unpopular in the west more generally though, not just America.

Depends on the failure mode and application. But a first approximation is the same way you would for a human output. E.g. process engineering for a support chatbot has many of the …

Engineers work with non-deterministic systems all the time. Getting them to work predictably within a known tolerance window and/or with a quantified and acceptable failure rate is…

Take a look at Frappe/openerp

No I'm talking about my own skills. How I onboard, structure 1on1s, run meetings, create and reuse certain processes, manage documentation (a form of org memory), check in on statu…

I agree with your points but I'm also reminded of one my bigger learnings as a manager - the stuff I'm best at is the hardest, but most important, to delegate. Sure it was easier t…

Motivation is some combination of real and perceived effort Vs expected reward. Shorter isn't always better. For eg. Counting every single calorie is the shorter way to lose weight…

It really isn't. Not any more than growing your own herbs vs buying them at the market is.

The patterns are different on different string sets. You don't need to learn DEF with the same pattern again, but you do need to learn all the ways of playing CDE

Lots of this rings true. Especially the "Solutions to plateaus are straightforward but not easy." part. So much of this psychological - both in being objective with your failings a…

Some thoughts (I used to run a chain of 20+ coworking spaces) * Remote individual workers are the least attractive customer for the typical coworking space (that isn't a cafe). Sma…

I think Mark Andreeson popularized it, crediting Andy Rachleff https://x.com/StartupArchive_/status/1850205733440413970

It's not great for blindly generating code to use, but it's great for asking for help -debugging, planning etc. I ask it a lot of 'dumb' questions and I feel like I've learnt a lot…

I'm curious. How do you prompt it?

It's quite far from Stratechery. The Ken is more reportage, investigative at times, but clickbaity at other times.

High output management

A public company is a little different

Hard to tell from the article how widespread the issue is. They've been making the SE in India for 5 years so presumably some learning has happened. Is the issue on the new model? …
