Most of the time, the only thing we get for hard work is more work. This is not to say that we shouldn't improve things in our jobs or remove inefficiencies - this is just to say each individual should learn to draw the line somewhere

My guess is that they are trying to vacuum as much information as possible. It is easy to do ("I can do nothing, the client is asking for the high school scores, not me!"). Who knows what they are doing with that data

Yup, Trump would have likely not won in 2016 if he wasn't pushed by the media. I remember the media would not cover Bernie, even when he got big crowds. But the media would wait for Trump to take the stage, showing empty podium live. A

One recruiter asked for my high school scores, from 20 years ago. For a 3 month contract job. Another recruiter wanted to know my salary expectations first, before giving me a single detail about the job. When I refused politely, she yelled

As I become older (and grumpier) I have realized that not engaging is the best thing to do, wherever possible. Dirty restaurant / rude staff? Don't go there. Don't like dark patterns on a website? Contact forms don't

I am also a big fan of Highcharts. It is not cheap though, especially for projects that aren't making any money yet

Facebook may be doing the right thing in this case, but for wrong reasons. If a restaurant chain with deep pockets opens a restaurant in your area and starts selling food at a loss (because they can afford to do so, at least short term) in

Kagi is playing against the likes of Google and Microsoft, who have infinite resources. Search is not a fight one can win casually. Every dollar, minute that is wasted on dumb stuff like t-shirts is an opportunity wasted on improving their

I never said they said the customer needs to think outside the box. They claimed that they had to think outside the box (as if no company had sent promotional t-shirts before and as if promotional t-shirts is some kind of groundbreaking

This is a very weird answer. People who are paying for your service want you to succeed, they want an alternative to Google search. Many of them (like the article above) explicitly say they don't want a t-shirt, they just want a

If I made a scrabble app, is that not allowed? How come Wordfeud, words with friends etc are allowed?

Trudeau government has also refused to share with Canadians where exactly the additional $600 How does this happen in a democracy? They say “nah, not gonna tell you” and everyone accepts it? No way to force them to disclose?

Brin’s representatives told the pilot’s widow that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration was blocking recovery efforts This is bad, if true. Bad behavior is to be expected from a private billionaire citizen, but how can a go

There is no guarantee that the manager won’t take the coworker’s side. In my workplace, my CIO is constantly gushing about AI and asking when are we going to “integrate” AI in our workflows and products. So what, you ask? He absolutely has

I know very few people who would pay for a search engine If Google Search continues its downward trajectory, people will start to pay for Kagi or some other similar search engine. 10-20$ per month for unlimited search is nothing, at least

Didn’t Louis C.K sell his standup stuff direct to fans for 5$ for a DRM free downloadable mp3, from his website? Why don’t more artists do that?

2024? It happened to me in 2020, right after Covid. I was unable to reach a colleague, thought he was sick (not unusual, he had health issues often). Until the “standup” rolled around and we were told he was laid off. Apparently he himself

Even if one is able to switch careers in their 40s and 50s, it is sad that they’re forced to do so, just to eat and have a roof over their head. Nearly all humans work for money (aka, just basic stuff) and not because they’re passionate abo

Most people shit on Jira, I guess it deserves it. But what is the alternative? I tried a bunch of tools couple of years ago. They were all as bad as Jira or worse. I dunno if the situation has changed since then, but I would bet it hasn’t c

There is this movie on Netflix called Queenpins, who run a coupon scheme/fraud business. I don’t have any experience with coupons, but I found the movie interesting.

I wonder how much of History can we trust? After all, history is written by victors. Something that was written a thousand years ago (or longer) - how can we verify? In today’s world, how much of Netflix “documentaries” are rigorously resea

While reading stories like these, one thing that depresses me the most is this - how little humanity/empathy these suits at corporations have. Sure, their primary (probably only) goal is to make money, but that doesn't mean they h

Is it possible for someone who has no knowledge of ML (but can code) to get into this space? Where would one start?

Thank you, I understand your use case better. If possible, could you talk a bit about your process for training your model? It looks like it is specific to legal documents, how easy/hard would it be to do the same for other types of do

There is so much unstructured data in the world Can you give a couple of specific examples? There are already sites like pdf.ai that let users chat with documents, are you thinking of something different?
