Fair point. I'm someone who's been lucky to work in high-trust low-ego teams at quite a formative stage in my career - and for this reason I try and work for companies that have values oriented around this. My current gig adheres

I'm talking about trust in a slightly different sense. I'm talking about trust in a sense of - if I give you some feedback on something e.g. "Hey I noticed that in our Zoom meetings you've had your camera off recently -

I see your point - but rather than hate your colleague for not doing their job well, why not find a way to give them feedback? "Trust" is obviously not a substitute for performance management - but having high psychological safety

I feel insane when I read stuff like this. If you work in a team in any capacity then you need to have a strong baseline of trust in order to work effectively. Trust is the building block that all effective team performance stacks on top of

I'm super excited about the Audio AI space, as it seems permanently a few years behind image stuff - so I think we're going to see a lot more of this. If you're interested, the idea of applying Image processing techniques to

I asked GPT what the source code does, was pretty impressed with the response >This code is a JavaScript program that creates a "snow" animation on a web page. When executed, the code generates a number of white, circular eleme

This is incredible! I've wanted to build something like this for a while. I sing in a barbershop quartet with 4 engineers, and we are constantly trying to tweak our tunings to optimise consonance of the chords we're singing. It ca

This seems to work for me. Incredible work turning this around so quickly!

I had a different experience, 8 years ago I needed to get a job quickly and went round my local town pubs with CVs, had an interview the next day and a job the day after.

Any Albanians on here who can validate if their own salary is in the list?

Maybe 0.4x and 3x programmers exist, and so when you introduce a little noise it's easy to perceive as a 10x difference at certain points in time.

This is so important - it's so hard to gauge what another person's mental model of a scenario is compared to yours. As in - perhaps OP and 40+ year person had the same, accurate mental model of the probability distribution of succ

I think reaching the correct solution is one of the least important parts of a technical interview. I've interviewed candidates who will write the equivalent of enterprise level fizz buzz [0] and get to a correct solution, and candidat

There is something so nourishing about websites like these. Does anyone know of a curated list of similarly content-rich, "web 1.0" sites?

True it is sad in the domain of fixed interval instruments, but ask a Barbershop quartet singer if they're sad about the ratio 4:5:6:7 and you'll get a wholly different opinion :)

This is definitely auto-tuned, and I would guess that 90% of auto-tune goes unnoticed as it can be applied a lot more subtly than this.

I have a little experience with the recording process, having been involved in the production of a contemporary a cappella album, and I think most people wouldn't believe how much stuff is auto-tuned. To my ear, if you listen to someth

So, what does this actually mean? Will Uber not be able to operate in London, or will it just not be sanctioned by TFL?

Very much George Monbiot's style, I find it grating sometimes how hyper-critical he is of a lot of climate change endeavours. But I suppose it's better to have that voice there than not.

If you are interested in this, consider reading 'The Shallows' by Nicholas Carr. Ironically, I have become a worse reader due to distraction, so the book took me about a year to finish - but I definitely recommend it! You will com

Time and time again I keep coming back to the same conclusion - anyone who has the desire can learn to code. I would say that 95% of people have enough innate logic to write code, they just need to be taught to express it formally.

Is this page meant to be publicly accessible? Seems odd to me that they would reveal what people are searching for in real time like this.
