A company I used to work for during the pandemic (before becoming a founder) was very very deep into the culture wars of RTO mandates. They had a cycle of HR making big sweeping proclamations, followed by leadership (a group I was part of)

In a vacuum that sentiment makes sense (and I probably agree with it) however in practice it may present some issues. For example, you probably also don’t want them flying high enough to present a danger to manned aircraft. In a lot of case

This is super interesting to me, and I am definitely going to check it out. It’s worth emphasizing that I am interested in this because it’s _simple_ and deliberately designed for this (unlike a discord message to yourself or channel or ema

I pulled this up out of fun curiosity, and then found it harder than expected to close the site because “what if I lose my place?”. And so that’s basically how marketing works in a nutshell. The human psyche is weird.

I’ve been looking at it in the same sense as something like Docker. When containers first became a big hype, everyone everywhere was using them for everything, including things like trying to containerize full desktop environments, which ou

Interestingly (for me) the Narnia series is one that I picked up on being allegorical pretty fast. Not exactly the first book, but I think by the middle of the second I had figured it out. Definitely by the time Aslan was resurrected.

I had a bunch of these books as a kid. I don’t remember any overtly Christian themes, just what was essentially a modernized version of Aesop’s fables. But I was also pretty young so maybe I just missed that part.

I’m sure the dynamics of multiple people in an online chatroom and the effects on their mindset are well above my ability to understand, but I think it’s a lot simpler than that. Streaming is a business with the goal of getting people who w

Around a year or so ago, I made a new rule for myself: Stop giving money and support to people and organizations that openly show disdain for me. It originally came from getting tired of watching (in this case, WoW) streamers talk about how

I don’t have any actual data to inform my feelings (I’m sure it wouldn’t be hard to find), but any time this stuff comes up I have to wonder about the economics of building out the AI, instrumenting a store, building or buying/licensin

Not disagreeing with your point, and admittedly being a little bit pedantic, but I always laugh when people talk about the planet being in danger. The earth is going to be fine. It’s humans who are in danger.

The other day my decidedly non-technical accountant was complaining about how (to use his word) “gross” copilot felt with regard to recall tracking everything you do. I was immediately reminded of the story of Joe Kennedy and the Shoeshine

This doesn’t seem like an apples to apples comparison. If your review was being published, you probably did it professionally and were being compensated to be true and provide valuable feedback. That is a fundamentally different power dynam

Reading this, I don’t get the sense that it’s exactly the interpretation that the author intended, but I don’t think AI should be invisible at all. One of the (missing) core ethical tenets of AI integrating with daily life is that the peopl

This is how I feel, but I also find that it’s overused as a device to inject manufactured gravity. Some stand up comics use something similar. It’s easier to make someone laugh because they’re uncomfortable than it is to make them laugh by

Your point is valid, but it’s an interesting note that the document in the linked page reads like a summary, which it probably is. It’s probably the case here, as with most summaries, that some detail has been omitted for brevity. I wonder

It feels like there’s been more of these sorts of posts lately that seem to embrace writing in an angry/raging tone, to the point that as a reader it’s hard (for me) not to lump them into the same category as those facebook/instag
