A big chunk of the knowledge contained in enterprises is in spreadsheets. It's a no brainer to make that more easily accessible to LLMs. Wrap a thoughfully designed agentic framework around this and you presumably get a cheap junior da

I will also note, that while it's possible to build a parser generator for external DSLs, for many use cases concrete syntaxes with existing parsers work fine. Back in 2000 I created a set of DSLs for generating web applications and I

Loads. Back in 1999 I built an entire suite of DSLs for generating web applications - you described objects, properties, validation rules, newsletter settings, commerce functionality, forum rules, etc and it used some combination of compile

It seems like people make this really complicated. There will occasionally be network partitions. When there are, a given node can either respond (potentially inconsistently) or not. So you pick some balance between consistency and availabi

Lean software development has a lot to say about this too - check out anything on value stream mapping and if you haven't already, try "Principles of Product Development Flow". It's dry but good.

Pedagogy, like any other field is constantly developing. We are continually learning new and better ways to teach materials and thus I think the continued evolution of teaching materials has the potential to be a good thing (and I've c

Yup - I was intentional with my language for a reason. But when I see most everyone I know making those similar choices I have to wonder what's an appropriate way to frame and engage with technology in a way that makes our lives better

It is, and that misses the point. Lets assume hand washing is an hour and contact time for washer dryer is 10 minutes. We have absolutely saved 50 minutes of labor. Unfortunately we all tend to fill that time up with extra things. Maybe we

Wow - posted 4 mins ago and "404 The page you are looking for no longer exists." - I know jobs get filled quickly but that must be a record :)

I think the underlying challenge is that mobility, work connections and the internet have shown us that there are lots of people with deep similarities to us in the world. I moved from NYC to Boulder and then more recently to Westchester (j

It's also leading to the widespread sharing of poorly though out or researched ideas. While there has always been a tension between "truth" and what various entrenched powers wanted to portray to the population, it's not

Presumably the model for sufficiently wealthy countries would be to effectively tax the corporations either based in those countries or that wanted to sell to people in those countries. You then redistribute a subset of that as UBI or some

My understanding is that while the risk of serious illness and death are strongly correlated with age and comorbidities that we're starting to see a meaningful number of cases of long covid in the working age population and it's n

Can't believe we're still having this debate. There are indeed risks to the vaccine. There are also risks to covid (both immediate and longer term). My understanding based on the research is that for the vast majority of the popul

Same here. I live just north of NYC and it seems like pretty much everyone is getting covid. Luckily, mortality attributed to covid is continuing to decrease suggesting it's becoming less of an issue (in terms of deaths), but even with

As a number of other posters have mentioned, "starting a company" is basically finding customers willing to pay for a solution you can provide and then ensuring that enough of them pay for you to continue to operate the business.

If you are publicly traded and don't have leverage (e.g. different share classes with different voting rights for the founders) it's a straighforward call to make. Optimize for short term profits or be replaced by someone who will

Yes, we can. But from a public health perspective, many people will just short circuit to "I had the sniffles some time in the last year so I got covid. So I don't need to find a site, fill out a form, wait in line and potentially

I'm 51 ands my personal experience to date has been that I am way more effective in business now that I have ever previously been. I certainly put in less hours (now only ~40-45/wk as I have a 4.5 year old and various other comm

I fundamentally disagree with the article - sorry! I used to believe it - for many years. But as systems continue to add essential (as opposed to accidental) complexity, the only way to run production is to run production. Why do you want t

The question is not whether your mental model is incorrect, but whether the deficiencies in your model cause problematic consequences. For example if my model of how wings work is that "the slower you go the more lift you get", sh

But do we want healthcare workers, police and members of the fire service to be the ones taking the experimental vaccine? Short of students going to parties and getting drunk, most of the people at high risk of getting the virus are high ri

I've usually seen most accelerators as an onramp to a venture backed business. I've raised for a couple of startups and with one I went through an incubator and it was great. Right now, I work from home, have a 3 year old and just
