Title is patently false. The first part of the article boils down to "most people aren't pedants". The second part is mostly irrelevant because the Netflix pivot to "casual viewing" is a bid to enter a new market .

The staff title unlocks a new level of self-aggrandizement which is on display here and in certain published books. As for professional qualities, I don’t think there is one. It takes a staff engineer at FAANG to do what a senior can do at

Creativity and thought going into accounting ought to be illegal. Albeit I am sure there is plenty of demand for “creative accounting”.

It’s pretty easy to predict which way votes will go when peering into an echo chamber. Just watch. Edit: and, it's flagged and gone. Voila.

> But to get a new physical stamp, I have to re-enter the country every 3 years. How does that make sense? Why do you need a new physical stamp at all if you are not re-entering? I think your argument is backwards here. What I think you’

Seems like they caught up because I have posted this before including in chatGPT. All that means is you have to change it up slightly. Unfortunately “change it up slightly” is not good enough for people to do anything with, and anything mor

As soon as you replace the subject of LLMs with nebulous “AI” you have ventured into a la la land where any claim can be reasonably made. That’s why we should try and stick to the topic at hand.

I see this sort of take from a lot of people and I always tell them to do the same exercise. A cure for baseless fears. Pick an LLM. Any LLM. Ask it what the goat river crossing puzzle is. With luck, it will tell you about the puzzle involv

This is a very well done launch. We ought to be taking notes. As for the app itself, it looks more like something niche Ev made in an attempt to enrich his own life than a business poised for growth. There is a place for that. I hope, anywa

That’s exactly how it is, and one of my biggest gripes was that the most impactful projects naturally tend to be the ones that carry larger risks. In an environment where you expect people to manage their own success as described in their o

Spoiler: they aren’t. Most Googlers use Chrome at work so it’s going to be better supported incidentally. The reason behaviors change when switching UA is because features vary across browsers and the UA ends up acting as a flag that turns

A note from Jobs on why just having an idea doesn't work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kZ0zoDYOmM Doesn't mean ideas aren't valuable, but the process is just as, if not more, important. The full interview

Some of the best tests come from taking something mundane and twisting it just a little off the beaten path in a way that LLMs cannot handle. The usual example is the river crossing puzzle which has a standard format and solution but can be

There’s an argument to be made that by the time your business runs out of vetted candidates to hire you’re already staffed at some of the highest levels by corporate parasites who got there by gaming the system, and you can tolerate adding
