There's no need to be smart about it. It just wasted 80 x 10 mins = 13 hours of company time that could have been spent improving outcomes for customers and shareholders. It also brought politics into the office and annoyed a lot of pe

You're right about everything. But I'd argue if we're going to dedicate time to 'guys', we should no less have a meeting about every single other possible ambiguity that hardly matters, and try to somehow encourag

Unfortunately the article doesn't suggest any alternatives. Cargo culting is a term known to most, so it's a pragmatic word choice when wishing to convey that particular idea. Incidentally, we had a 10 minute meeting to 80 staff

Great question - it's shocking easy to learn. Just three steps 1. Install (via vim-plug, lazy.nvim, or whatever vim plugin manager you're using), 2. configure it. Depending on your terminal the instructions are a little different,

Looks like vim-slime is essential to how you work with CL + vim. I've only used vim for not even 2 years, and came across vim-slime 6 months ago when working in ruby and wanting to quickly 'send' code from editor (neovim) to

Amazing! Tiny bit of feedback, it might help to add to the article that there's 1 difference to spot in impossible mode (the other two difficulties say there's 3 and 8 diffs respectively, which is useful to know when attempting).

That misses the point. Consider an analogy with a knife. If someone quits using knives simply because they had previously cut themselves, and someone says: “wait, there’s at least one useful application for these things”, and demonstrates t

Yup. The variance of truthiness on X is probably the highest of all platforms. Meaning you get the most accurate news if you can filter/discern well enough, at the risk of being brainwashed if you can’t. Since alternatives also brainwa

Fun and useful are different things though. I use X for 'news', debate, and updates on anything global. YouTube for specific tech tutorials and 'junk' viewing (e.g. something light-hearted while eating). And insta/f

Social media apps have downsides, but I find the algorithmic short videos on facebook ("reels") quite incredible. The algo seems to suggest mostly science; niches I would never have known about, let alone had an active interest in

I'm personally a huge Elon fan, but I know many who are not and have heard from multiple sources that they can't get him out of their feeds no matter how hard they try. If you tweak your current idea to simply remove all Elon-rela

What are the advantages of Perplexity over, say, ChatGPT? I use three LLMs atm (ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok), and have a decent sense for which is better at different tasks. For example, when asked about questionable web scraping ChatGPT and

Love the idea. I frequently use ChatGPT (out of habit) and while it's generating, copy/paste the same prompt into claude and grok. This seems like a good way to save time.

Struggling to wrap my head around how this is possible. Seems others are too [0]. A computer made in, say, minecraft can be given inputs. But since GoL is a zero player game (the player only selects the initial states), how can it possibly
