Originally it was built as the inverse. A signal that recruiters could use to tell them which “passive candidates” could be more willing to change jobs. A customer asked if it could be used internally (we already had their ATS/HRIS dat

We built this tool as part of HiringSolved. Other signals included time in current position relative to industry average and personal history.

If true, probably not for long. Still my point is people are customer. It’s more fun to think about what won’t change. I think we will still have baristas.

This goes way back. Nine Inch Nails was a synth-first band with the music being written by Trent in a studio on a DAW. That worked but what really made the bad was live shows so they found ways even using 2 drummers to translate the synths

Thanks for the clarification, Ed. That’s quite interesting. Also congrats on the new company!

GPT4 is lazy because its system prompt forces it to be. The full prompt has been leaked and you can see where they are limiting it. Sources: Pastebin of prompt: https://pastebin.com/vnxJ7kQk Original source: https:/&#

Agreed. Leadership can sometimes bring actual value ;) And to be clear, I’m not sure Ed would call himself that. Those are my words, not his.

This great except that the author starts with “our kids love math” and goes on to say how they wanted to figure out a way for their kids to do math everyday because they love it. My kid loves Roblox. Math not so much. She’ll gladly play Rob

Interestingly, Ed Newton-Rex, the person hired to build Stable Audio, quit shortly after it was released due to concerns around copyright and the training data being used. He’s since founded https://www.fairlytrained.org/ R

Is it? To me it feels like Google is about where Microsoft was in 2002. Case in point: This thread about using anything other than Chrome…

No, Doom didn’t kill the Amiga. Wing Commander did.

Hmm, thanks for the interesting article. Probably knew that at one time but forgot lol. Still, it shows my point, that research that reaches too far from the company’s core biz is difficult to recognize as a success. The laser printer, was

PARC, though awesome for society, was a massive commercial failure for Xerox. As tech nerd, I love the lore of The PARC and went to visit it as soon as I moved to the Bay Area. However, I assume it would be taught as a lesson of what not to

I used to despise Microsoft for exactly this behavior. I’ve been more impressed with them lately for their investment in AI and willingness to take risks bringing new products to market. Unfortunately I’ve had the same problem with Edge aft

The second one is the larger issue. Patreon is working well for many things but still not easy or integrated enough.

Yep, I stayed there in 2000 to attend HOPE 2000. Traveled with Sir Dystic, Lumi and some other cDc kids. Parties were fun. cDc put on a great show.

I love that OpenAI surprised Google and lit a fire under them. Google’s task now is to think through a post-search experience that includes advertising in a much more useful and intelligent way. I think it can be done. This demo makes me th

100% John, I do mean trivial programs. It’s the stuff that you should not bother an engineer to do, but it can’t be done (in a reasonable timeframe) by a business person or even a technical IT person who isn’t proficient at code. There’s a

I agree. Reminds me a various sci-fi scenarios: We hit a tech level where jobs and tasks are not done by people unless they want to do them. Or in many cases we still want a human there for some reason. Like the barista, the job could certa

Cool work! I tested it and got some mixed results: 1) it throws an error if it's installed to any drive other than C:\ --I moved it to C: and it works fine. 2) I'm seeing huge latency on an EVGA 3080Ti with 12GB. Also seeing it re
