It was a real bummer to see our former vet on here. Manchac Animal Clinic is a real place that we took our dogs to for a long time. The docs and staff there are amazing. Seeing the…

Agree. Also as a PM, one of the most important things you can do, once you've decided or understood "this is the most important thing we can be working on," is to sell that vision …

Love seeing you in these threads! We use “AI Powered Search” as a bible on our team. Thanks for all your contributions to the community.

Those vendors likely won’t accept hardsubs, because it would mean 10 video files for 10 languages, instead of soft subs where you get 1 video file 10 languages (10 different subtit…

Well, they can, and at least did. I know because I was one of them! The P&L that I rolled up to our execs was dead simple as well. I think everyone had a pretty clear picture of wh…

It’s cheaper than you might think. Much like in gaming, there’s a lot of people who really want to work in the anime industry, even if it’s just on the localization and distributio…

I agree - this is the right take. Spend a little extra because your customers REALLY care.

That’s why I said the SUBS are awesome… not the translations ;-)

It’s a great question actually, and the answer has mostly to do with Romanization. Japanese and English are sufficiently structurally different, that even the sentence length won’t…

Hah, this is my time to shine. I worked in anime subtitling and timing for a number of years. I helped write our style guide — things like how to handle signs, overlapping dialogue…

From a purely supply chain perspective, how should we be navigating this as a hardware startup? I also read today that a NATO official "urged businesses to be prepared for a wartim…

I'm just... Incredibly suspicious of this. I've just this week received an email from Klarna that "effective October 10th, 2024, JPMorgan Chase will no longer allow customers to ma…

That's fair enough I think! I totally agree that larger backlogs tend toward staleness. Just like a good shrub, they need care, feeding, and trimming :) By the way, I enjoyed the a…

I appreciate the sentiment here, but this is not my experience. I talk to our customers almost every day, and for this reason, we have all kinds of well-vetted features and improve…

Yep I work on Search as well -- both of these books are excellent. Website search is... hard. A lot of the faceting still needs to be done by hand. I think there's probably some op…

What about like, blogs, for instance, as a source of training data? Is the differentiating factor here something like, it's lots of people interacting with other people?

What about it is valuable? Isn't all of that "data" just their content that is pretty easily scrape-able by anyone?

Yes I did this. It was pretty tough but there is a way. I was fired from a job in the media industry and decided to start over in tech. It was really a low point for me honestly; I…

I'm a huge fan of contemporary poetry. I can give a few recommendations, but of course you'll have your own tastes, so I'll try to annotate :) "Here, Bullet" by Brian Turner. Poetr…

This article is about organizations, but I'm curious how this plays out on web properties as well. The larger ones I imagine make use of many different data sources, and that data …

A nice slice-of-life article. The world of used and rare booksellers has always been fascinating and alluring to me, a lover of books. Books like "Club Dumas" (upon which the great…

This is such a tired take. It's part of a steady stream of commentary that reads something like "non-engineering-role X is bullshit." Here, we see engineers reduce the contribution…
