Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but isn't that quote referring to the glymphatic clearance found in 2012 and not the main topic highlighted; fluid clearance via blood vessel contraction?

I agree it's a strong sentiment. But development seems to slow to a crawl at around that time from what I've seen. And then it seems like keeping the app going needs extremely strong developers around it, which not every company c

I agree with you on all your points but I came to the conclusion that I would _not_ start a new app in Rails for those reasons. I've spent my whole career on Rails and I think it's amazing when starting small but mature applicatio

Could it be that Kagi benefits from being niche, though? Google search gets gamed because it’s the most popular and therefore gaming it gives the best return. I wonder if Kagi would have the same issues if it was the top dog.

Mirroring what you're saying: I've worked with a company who has a "Salesforce Product Manager". A whole person dedicated to managing their Salesforce integration. I haven't used it myself, but seeing that role exis

I just think that both Impro and The Looming Tower have nothing to do with development and seem imposed by people who think they are important.

Eh, maybe. I wouldn't completely judge a workplace by these people. I've kind of come around to enjoy working with "weirdos" like this because their personal quirks have no actual affect on how they work. It can make the

Probably money in, money out. I think the content you're looking at _is_ underpaid interns. As another comment mention, sports data is actually very structured these days and its easy to automatically generate articles with it. Actual

That's not quite how it worked. There are basically two types of content when it comes to these sports recap articles. I'm also excluding opinions/editorials because those are completely different. 1. low profile, not-so-popu

Yes, but not for these articles. Here's a example situation where having good SEO with filler content that makes sense: Lebron James retires. If you are faster and have the best SEO at that point in time then that means everyone trying

I don't think people did notice. Our view counts for sports articles were always very low, except the very high profile articles. And those ones would always be done by a copywriter and properly edited.

Maybe hit-piece was a strong word; but I do think it's saying this happened _because_ of AI when to me it's been an issue for a long time. ESPN was always pretty egregious when it came to penny-pinching on content and ignoring les

by skipants 2y ago
Pretty much. Though there were a lot of articles that are never touched, based on popularity.

Definitely. I have no experience in live game statistics, but from my sports content experience I bet there's data scientists and applications behind the scenes that specifically pull this data to be read on-air.

by skipants 2y ago
I don't think people do actually consume it. In my experience this content was purely for SEO or maybe just a headline that people read quickly to keep up-to-date. The actual article content is rarely seen by a human.

I don't think ESPN does anything that takes significant resources. That's all handled by SportsRadar or ... there's another big provider but their name alludes me. They basically firehose you all the game information as struc

Back when I worked on it, before AI, you have all the information from a game in an API and you just fill in the template with it. Now, I imagine they take that raw API call and just use a prompt like, "write a summary article for a ga

It's pretty funny to me that this is used as a hit-piece against AI generated content. Here's an open-secret for everyone: web-based sports content companies have been automatically generating content articles for at least a decad

As a Canadian, I agree with the premise that I'd rather see Japan gain power over China due to how they wield that power; but man, you have quite a pessimistic view when it comes to describing US allies. Also, if Japan truly was a US p

They have this sustainability part on their website: https://pixmob.com/sustainability It does look like they have boxes for you to return it at the end of the show. It doesn't seem too bad when I take it at face value

I'm with you. I don't really agree with all the praise it gets. I liked it at first but it really seemed to run into the "manufactured drama" trap that a lot of TV shows run into when they try and keep it going. It reall

Another giveaway that it's ROCm is that it doesn't support the 5700 series... I'm really salty because I "upgraded" to a 5700XT from a Nvidia GTX 1070 and can't do AI on the GPU anymore, purely because the soft

I'm confused... are you just commenting on the name of the website itself or the content? The content itself is about demonstrating how an LLM/Neural net works using a spreadsheet and is a play on the title "Attention is All

I think it could really use some prompt or workflow examples. It mentions pressing the LLM for more information and to explain itself, which could be demonstrated using some prompts. edit: Oh my mistake -- I didn't realize that the lin

I agree. And something overlooked is that Rythym 0 isn't an incitement for good people to do something bad; it's inciting good people to leave. If good people pick up the roses and bad people pick up the guns, why would the good p
