I'd argue 99% percent of companies operate like this. No one likes blunt feedback--even in friendships and marriage. Good luck if you throw money and ego into the mix.

These are all rhetorical techniques to make your idea their idea. If you ever want to get anything done in painfully structured or faux-flat orgs, this is the way. Why this psyop works: 1. People like to take credit for things. 2. People

I think you’re ignoring the “without getting fired” part. The implication is that you’re in a situation where management is stubborn or even hostile to feedback. Most organizations don’t practice “highly effective communication”. It’s ofte

And Amazon can always build their own LLM product down the line. Building out data centers feels like a far more difficult problem.

> An ill-educated populace is easier to manipulate, gravitate towards consumerism, and won't hold their leaders as accountable. This is a reactionary take. Math, science, and basic language skills do not lead to political upheaval,

Back when I wrote Rails apps, Arel was stable enough and its own gem. Things may have changed, and that’s incredibly depressing. Sometimes you just need SQL not everything that AR gives you. Most apps are read heavy, so you need an escape h

If you start hitting performance issues with Rails, switch to using Arel for queries and pump the data into lightweight classes. ActiveRecord optimization magic is a foot bazooka. If you want to reuse the code between these objects and the

In time, this quirk and others* will disappear. I’ve recently wondered whether it makes more sense to have AIs teach more at home and have classrooms evaluate more. Another thought is that people will still need knowledge to interact with a

Do you hear yourself? In one breath you agree with me that income inequality is rising, and then say it’s bad for service workers to have higher wages.

Go look at a chart of income inequality. It hasn’t improved under any administration. So why do they still feel Trump is the answer? Inflation.

I completely agree that Trump printed a ton of money, but Biden also continued to print a ton of money. In addition, people tend to associate outcomes with the administration in power even if it’s due to a prior administration. Inflation a

Inflation. Record illegal immigration. Identity politics. Inflation. An anointed candidate. Perceived censorship. Inflation. Income inequality. Cover ups. Inflation. I’m not saying Trump will fix any of this. I’m just saying people feel lik

I think we just need to give up on this. What’s the harm? It’s not like some ground truth is fabricated. I’m far, far more concerned about photo, video, and audio verification. We need a camera that can guarantee a recording is real.

Did the neoliberal lobby block “protectionist” legislation? Did income inequality balloon in the US while Chinese wages exploded?

My guess is that this a purchase of what will become the ever missing “MS Paint.” It’s kinda wild that macOS bundles Garage Band but doesn’t come with anything for graphics.

The “indie web” is something you create, control, and own like a personal site or WordPress blog. There is nothing indie about using a third-party platform to host content. Remember how indie Medium used to be until they paywalled it to d

Social problems demand social solutions. If you're skeptical about Wikipedia, you can easily create your own fork of Wikipedia: the data and code is open source after all. In the end, it’s all about whether you can keep a community ali

Assembly is not a language runtime. Even if you had WebAssembly as the core, you'd still need to compile JavaScript to WebAssembly, manage the GC, etc which all would still suffer from the performance implications mentioned in the arti

I ask juniors to do just as you do. There's a contract specified in the API spec and relevant documents. In kind, I build up an "AI" package one module at a time by specifying contracts for each module. The principle remains

Why do you assume you're supposed to feel an immediate effect? Increased CSF flow aids in clearing metabolic waste, distributing nutrients, and reduced oxidative stress. You'll feel none of this after a 3 minute session. A lot of
