My view - as a manager - is that as I get older (simply put) I’m not as good any more as my younger team! While I help them, I also learn a lot from them as well. And I love that. I have experience: project management, real life, edge cases

I generally loathe DEI programs in the workplace, mostly because they are almost always just about appearances: "let's make sure we have at least 20% minority representation" or whatever. Early in my career I worked at a comp

I’m not an expert in this, so hoping someone with more knowledge can chime in/correct anything I get wrong. I have friends with BTC, but no one I know with any have actually used it for purchasing anything. From what I can tell it’s ju

I've used Duolingo for a while. It's fine for helping to build random vocabulary, but absolutely nothing beats speaking and listening to a native and actually having conversations about lots of random topics. There are so many thi

I seem to remember reading once that what is typed by a stenographer is also only meaningful to them. And therefore must be transcribed into English later by the same stenographer. Can anyone here confirm that?

I’ve never been in banking, but I’ve been in games (AAA) and biotech most of my career. I agree with the previous commenter. It isn’t about breaking things out even moving fast (in my experience), but about getting “the juices flowing”. I’v

Honestly, most of the "gaming" comes from (quoting from another response in the thread) decision fatigue. For example... My wife absolutely hates seafood. So, if I don't want to pick I just start heading in the direction of s

When my wife and I were dating, we came up with a simple rule: Whoever was driving would mentally pick a place and start driving there. The other - before getting to the parking lot - could pick anywhere else and that’s where we would go in

У "Мастера и Маргериты" лушчее начало из всех книг, которые я когда-либо читал! And chapter 2: Pontious Pilate absolutely sealed it for me; I love that book!

This is a bit of a difficult question to answer. I was in game dev for ~13 years before transitioning out of it into biotech, ML, and data science. This isn’t to disuade you from game dev (I have very fond memories of my time in games and m

Not a founder, but one needn’t be one to suffer from Analysis Paralysis. One strategy I use is - when looking at the (reasonable) options - to try and focus more on those that have the following properties: 1. The cost of doing them i

With programming languages, all you’re doing it picking which problems you don’t want to have to worry about and which ones you do. When a team decides to switch programming languages, which would be a major undertaking, it’s typically for

Assuming a multi-person interview process, where who you are interviewing with slowly goes up the ladder, one question I always ask (of each person) is: - If you could snap your fingers and change/improve one thing at the company, what

First off, LLMs, ChatGPT, DALL-E, etc... these are all just neat party tricks. Generative AI is nothing special and - along with the other comments - going to be the butt of many jokes in the years to come (and already is: see South Park).

It looks awesome and I look forward to trying it out. Curious how you claim zero false negatives though (as in missing a person it should have detected), unless you’re reviewing all the data or have another system hooked up to it verifying?

Now I’m very much interested in reading more about his life! Gotta say tho, sounds a bit like an ancient Marco Polo where maybe the myth is larger than the man at this point. Still going to read more. Thanks for the citations.
