Sometimes it is more complicated, but in this case the analysis does apply. The problem isn't on the demand side, but on the supply. And one way to increase supply is to charge a higher price, or otherwise compensate (more time off, be

A big part of Googs secret sauce is ranking relevancy in part by reputation. They totally could index text-to-speech of youtube videos and rank channels by popularity in their content niches, then supply those when searches overlap their th

I don't think that is the problem. Rather it turns out everybody has been naive in thinking you can actually successfully manage memory, or other shared resourced in C without footgunning yourself.

One successful way I've seen this down is to proactively give people ownership of sub-projects with collaboration, or leadership scope N+1. It is explicitly acknowledged (so no shadow work that your team is covering to support) and act

Exactly - you have a reasonable model of a person. So it also includes things like a recommendations giving you the _opposite_ of the purported opinion. Or trusting the details are technically true, but missing the forest for the trees. Or

We keep bleach in our emergency supplies for the same reason. You need a high degree of dilution, which also implies a single gallon bottle of bleach can purify a very large amount of water (something like 10k galleons).

What are you presuming with a "medium-sized" company? Modern financing might very well allow a company big enough to operate only a single factory, to invest in new technologies, or to purchase them from specialized firms doing in

That is plausible. It depends what you mean by "megacorp." If what we mean (in contrast to artisanal craftsmanship) is just industrial scale operations - then yes, we certainly can organize industrialization differently than megac

While I use debian for all my personal stuff (and years ago before that - slackware ) most my employers have used RHEL or CentOS due to the support contract (or potential to easy transition to RHEL with support in the centos case). This sat

> Are boards and shareholders even dissatisfied with executives right now? Not with prior actions, but they are with current margins. Which is why you see both layoffs and other cost-cutting measures that get less press.

Many quarters of flailing to find the next thing, that this time, will really restart the growth engine. New markets, changing sales channel strategy, product pivots, reorgs.

I've seen a number of places use the "Build Number" from their CI tool on the mainline branch to represent a similar notion. Presuming you've "centralized" things, this tends to work well.

We started using feature flags to disable, rather than enable capabilities. Turn them off and see if anyone notices. Ramp up the rate. If you identify some cohort that needs the feature, keep it on for them, but isolate them until you figur

One thing to consider, there is considerable asymmetry between the high training costs and the lower (relatively) operating costs. > Perhaps ChatGPT is run with massive operating losses and its all VC subsidized. I'm not in the know

An analogy might be the horizon. There is no fixed horizon, it is just the boundary of how far your can view, given both the curvature of the earth and the quality of your eyes. It is relative to where you are on the earth, and by your alti

But that isn't the question. The question is what tool delivers the best performance. If I want to build some end-use-case software, should I adopt "Python Framework X" or "Golang Framework Y" to build this system?

The distribution matters. How common are the bad/good/mediocre scenarios? Some just might be mostly bad, with rare exceptions. While other jobs might be mostly good, with rare bad cases, so you might risk this outcome.
