Agree with your pov, especially the idea that you can only reject hypotheses, not confirm them. What I keep seeing operationally is that teams are forced to act before hypotheses c…

That’s a great way to put it. What I keep running into is that teams know the work is informal at the edge, but systems are designed as if formality can be enforced at capture time…

This asymmetry framing is really helpful. I’m curious in the cases where that 1% mattered, what made the reconstruction painful even when the raw artifacts existed? Was it ordering…

@scott-iii That’s exactly the kind of situation I’m trying to understand better. Out of curiosity, when you were piecing it together from the camera roll, what was hardest: orderin…

I’m trying to pressure-test a pattern I keep seeing in industrial and asset-heavy operations, and I’d value perspectives from people who’ve lived this. In many environments (manufa…

I know some friends who were put on the RIF list for being critical of AI strategy in a division within a large company, whose CEO is talking about intelligent minds and diffusion.…

Glioblastoma has entered the chat :-)

Am better today, thank you :-). Your suggestions align with how we are thinking about addressing this problem. I like the suggestion around assistant vs admin. It strongly resonate…

sorry a bug took me down, so could not reply earlier. Your comment hits the spot. I agree with you about not just seeing raw numbers or some kind of trend line, but get more analyt…

sorry a bug took me down, so could not reply earlier. Thank you for your reply and a few follow-up questions and observations. 1. I do agree with you on the challenge between "feel…

Full context: A friend and I are working on addressing a pain point that bugs both of us. There is a painful disconnect that exists between understaffed data teams who clean and bu…

Not just arsenic but also to remove the starch. Most folks don’t cool down the rice before eating so it’s preferable to remove the starch before eating.

Humans are the exception. Most animals return home as it gets dark. That is the natural pattern, something we are all primed via evolution. Your personal preference to get more lig…

DST is an abomination and must go. It doesn't align with natural circadian rhythms.

They are taking a charge back of $1.2bn with the layoff. Are you suggesting canceling the private performance would have costed a huge amount on similar lines?

This still does not make it equal between Amazon and the sellers. Remember sellers have to pay a listing fee, referral fee etc which Amazon does not have to. So with everything els…

My point is every cloud vendor needs to break up revenue by IaaS, SaaS, and PaaS. Each one looks strong and bad across segments and hence such a breakup will never happen. But sayi…

So does AWS. They include revenue from AWS Workmail and other SaaS offerings. Too bad MSFT or GOOG make more money than AWS with their SaaS or "Productive" offerings.

Cannot up vote this enough. During my time both at Retail and AWS it was perfectly normal to trawl production customer data and come up with ideas to launch competing products. Pri…
