Hi, you’re right - we can’t understand what the other side means without a genuine discussion. And the polarized ends of woke and anti-woke shouting aren’t going to achieve that. So it’s important to engage with the (non-shouty) people in o

An unusually bad essay. Yes, cancel culture is bad. But when an entire group of people (eg women, or non-white people) says ‘this thing is a problem’, maybe take them seriously? (Like pg would like to be taken seriously right now?) This is

But there’s this statement as well: > Racism, for example, is a genuine problem. Not a problem on the scale that the woke believe it to be… The whole idea of woke (in the non pejorative sense) is that you’ve done the work to perceive the

Same in Australia. I’m at a startup involved with placing people on digital projects. I see a lot of amazing people struggling in the market right now. This is mirrored by a general slowdown in actual project spend by businesses. Locally, t

Reads like a job ad for the worst startup in the world: super high-IQ + small-government revolutionaries + 80+ hours per week + on unglamorous cost-cutting (salary TDB)

I’ve seen folks successfully implement a process where discovery is ‘free’ if the client hires them for the implementation. Otherwise discovery is $10K or whatever

Yeah. Back in the day a proper requirements doc was something a client would pay for. It’s a tangible thing with real value. These days we sell design sprints that produce validated prototypes instead (thank god for Figma). This is a much e

Working on this for an internal tool - detecting no speech has been a PITA so far. Interested to see how you go with this.

I find it effective to treat it like a junior, and provide detailed and specific tasks. Ie usual LLM usage. A recent e.g. "Use the Javascript module pattern to create a module that stores audio chunks, recording state, and exposes func

Really interesting tool, really interesting article. I'll be returning to this often. Thank you and well done :)

Interesting! In Australia we see drones mapping areas that need to be sprayed, then that data is downloaded into a tractor which traverses the field spraying (or adding nutrient) according to data collected by the drone. Haven't heard

Same in Australia. I think governments (any party) will pull any lever available to prop up the market because of the role that property plays in the economy.

Yeh, the only time I assume a driver has really seen me is when we make eye contact. (But - twice in 20 years I’ve had the chilling experience of a driver making eye contact and pulling out in front of me anyway.)

It’s been ok. I’m running llama2 7b and it’s … fine. The results I get from gpt4 aren’t much better. This for general tasks. Mostly I think I need to use LLMs more effectively
