Good cover: publicly release a rumor via a random tiny outlet (along with a flurry of other rumors). Then if questioned, just say you heard it there.

> How can having a comprehensive understanding of your infrastructure/stack be a weakness exactly? Weakness in the inverse: not being ready to change to new code, because you have a clear and distinct understanding of the old, and a

by w10-1 2y ago
Yes, and more importantly... Strengths are weaknesses because they create a bias to use the strength rather than developing a weak alternate, and you only get better at what you do - creating a virtuous cycle that can quickly turn vicious.

I believe the uncomfortable truth that drives highly-incentivized hiring is twofold: 1. There are many more qualified candidates than jobs. That happened with outsourcing and remote, well before AI. That makes hiring errors are mostly und

Snow leopard was, as you said, necessary in anticipation of the architecture change. Now there's no such change, but instead AI, this weird new cross-cutting but fuzzy function touching everything that no one has ever used reliably at

This is a good analogy, and not just because of skills atrophy. Managers grow the skills needed for their organization. Their team affects them. A process-oriented team with quality/validation mindset has replaceable roles; the action

I'd love to hear why WASM now has more promise than Java 1.x. Java's subsequent development was driven by enterprise/containers (mainly Oracle), and the VM has stayed relevant for 30 years by incorporating dozens of advances

Aristotle says we should only require of a discipline what the domain affords (when he is establishing principles not by induction). Indeed, a perfectly serviceable philosophy of math would address what enables it to be taught and used cons

Still, using non-personal example would mean the user wouldn't have to consider whether to trust you on that point (or do the analysis), and would make the technology demo friction-free. imo, privacy shouldn't be the driver but th

Think bigger in 3 distinct ways: 1. Lower learning curve, for new or revived skills (weaving - gather and summarize) 2. Lower incremental cost: almost always faster at choosing the next step (scouting) 3. Faster time-to-maturity: when build

That reminds me of a dream: 1. Write queries in datalog 2. Compose them like reusable functions 3. Stream that data between SQL db and dataframe columns and graph db 4. Both also supported with reusable composable function interfaces 5. Wit

Writing is quite different as a discipline and in its effects when it's for self-discovery, self-analysis, messaging others, etc. It's like the vast differences between relaxing alone at home, caring for your partner, hosting gues

Very well said, and very nice to see references to others on point. As a sidebar: I'm almost distracted by the clarity. The well-formed structure of this article is a perfect template for an AI evaluation of a problem. It'd be int

It's fair to bias for action in this way. But offering a negative option to object could be more likely to induce mistake and undue reliance. (Remember: negative options are illegal per FTC.) But the real question is not the form of th

If you've suffered, seek a current expert (e.g., a neurologist migraine specialist who has recently completed training). The newer CGRP inhibitors have been highly effective, but that also has made some specialists grow stale in their

A simple decision rule in (personal) aviation is three strikes. e.g., (1) nervous passenger; (2) clouds coming in; (3) running late -> abort. It produces very conservative decisions, and overcomes the drive to just try. But the interesti

293 Harvard men, last sampled in 2010, with “network” sizes of 2… Pseudo-science is dressing up a few true facts as a vehicle for opinion. It’s typically relatively harmless, except perhaps when it happens to reflect a regressive zeitgeist.
