I did a quick test "Best air conditioner by value", comparing Bing and ChatGPT search, and the rankings on the first two pages of Bing vs sources on ChatGPT were about half the same. It's interesting that there is some deviat

People keep saying this, but I don't believe Amazon is that unwilling to pay severance. They excel at making tough business decisions and paying for sunk costs. It's an incredibly risky way to run a layoff - top talent will leave

I find it particularly ironic when someone who goes to a top university with $70k/yr tuition attempts to gatekeep how learning should be. LLMs are just another tool to use. They're ubiquitously accessible to everyone and are an

I know multiple people who worked at Amazon (I say worked because they've recently quit) who would log two of their three weekly badges by going in the office at 11:59pm, and again at 12:01 am. Their team, managers, and collaborators n

Definitely too good! The only way I can tell they're AIs is they don't pause or hesitate in their banter. Their ability to talk without thinking is uncanny.

Spotify just pays the owner of the song (typically a record label) so doesn't need to be concerned with who created it. But yeah, even then, it's surprising the Spotify credits are so poor. Everyone forgets about Ringo!

Because it's completely obscure, and Tidal lists all of the obscure people who work on the songs. Spotify does not.

They 100% do not pull from the same sources. Hey Jude by The Beatles - Tidal lists 22 different people who worked on this song. Spotify lists 3.

Spotify only lets you read a very reduced version of the credits of a song, and you can't click on the artist to see all of their work. On Tidal, the credits are much more extensive, and you can go deep down the rabbit hole of a produc

So I've been using Tidal for 5 years now, and feel they run circles around Spotify in terms of curation. Their algorithms and curated tracks are better, and they steer away from the social/gamification features and lean in to arti

It's baffling how fast and wide the blast radius was for this Crowdstrike update. Quite impressive actually, if you think about it - updating billions of systems that quickly.

I think there's a big difference between a HN startup not being upfront about their simple pricing, hiding it behind the "Start for Free!" anti-pattern, and an established B2B SaaS with a "Request a Quote" flow. One

Whether the vendor's internal processes are stuck in the early 2000s or not doesn't negate anything I said. The quotes are multi-variate and it's not extortion. But even assuming updated systems, how could you give an accurat

I think this is a common misconception around sales. The prices aren't upfront because there's too many variables. Price is determined by more than just number of employees. There's also individual SKUs for each employee, usa
