I think the feeling is if we want to even keep our current footing in the market we have to increase productivity by 10x because everyone else is as well. And if everyone else is, the productivity floor is raised but every other competitor

Oh weird, I also perceive an increased pressure on my ears, but it's only with my over-the-ear headphones when turned on. My in ear ANC headphones don't do the same. Slight tinnitus here but had it for as long as I can remember.

This story is under the title "Government Surplus" and is indeed quite a tale (and on point for MIT students). https://milk.com/wall-o-shame/government_surplus.html

Domain is all government, but the tech is different across each of them. I love talking too, part of why I think pre-sales is a lot of fun. And I actually love my CRM work from a data perspective, but my background is in synthesizing data a

That is true. My current work is in bespoke environments with mainly non-technical buyers who have been burned in the past. Our POCs are pretty minor lifts to build credibility and have worked extremely well. If you're working in SaaS

My path went from engineering-aligned (math) to engineering management back to engineering to product to program management to solutions engineering to account executive. Honestly I had a negative connotation about sales for most of my care

The simplex method in linear programming was one of the first times I ever had something relatively complex "click" for me. It's funny, I still think about that feeling weekly. My memory of it happening while working out a ho

Reads like a bunch of CYA soundbites from a man who was incompetent and never should have been in the position he was in. Much like many others in this administration. People worth their merit to lead these organizations say no, so we'

I've found that handwritten letters, to my friends and to my colleagues, tends to go a very long way in making someone's day. Something that takes me ten minutes tends to make a difference for a month of more.

Ironically, I don't think Musk or Trump grasp how much of the military logistics and fundamental readiness rely on DoD civilians. The same ones they want to reduce by 8% over the next few months.

I agree. We're seeing great results for very narrow use cases using smaller LLMs too. It's no different than classical ML and emerging AI over the past 10 years. If you don't have a well scoped use case, you're not going

There is a similar issue playing out in Boston too, where the MBTA, the public transit authority that operates the busses and trains predominately in the Boston metro, is a state entity.

Probably because it's pilot training bases and the maneuvers they perform tend to throw off the ADS-B due to signal issues. https://www.gpsworld.com/one-gps-mystery-solved-another-rema...

I mostly agree. If I were them, this acquisition would be to augment building a baseline of traffic and patterns of life so they can better identify anomalies in the future.

Anyone who is putting you down for being genuinely interested is not someone worth your time. Sorry you had to go through that. A good manager will find ways to communicate with each individual, usually in an individualized fashion (I say t

Vermont passed a law like this in 2013, designed to help those with incurable diseases choose when to pass. Vermont Public Radio recently did a good podcast on it. https://www.vermontpublic.org/podcast/brave-little-stat

I think people are missing a huge impact that GPS has beyond positioning. GPS transmits timing signals. Those timing signals are used in industries throughout the world to sync transactions. Without which, you are left to syncing via potent
