I think this is the type of answer that is frustrating to non-Germans. Hey don't look at that person who got promoted ahead of you despite you being more qualified. Look here instead at all these other people who didn't get promot

I'm not sure about the cost. A lot of Mumbai's middle class housing is 30-40 floor towers. These are flats that sell for well under 200k, most under 100k. Labor cost is lower in India, but most material and equipment costs are not

Can't agree more. We can also predict with some confidence that in a year or two, supply would have adjusted and ram will be cheaper in the long run. We benefit from the expanded demand even if the fact that it first lands as a shock i

The course on deeplearning.ai are a good starting point. Anthropic and OpenAI both have decent stuff on there, plus their own docs have examples.

I've asked before - I am not clear what the massive boost is other than saving a few days or weeks at the beginning. I believe all taxation, labor compliance and other such regulation is still the same as the status quo. The one time e

Asia doesn't hate AI. It may be true that AI is unpopular in the west more generally though, not just America.

Depends on the failure mode and application. But a first approximation is the same way you would for a human output. E.g. process engineering for a support chatbot has many of the same principles as process engineering for a human staffed c

I agree with your points but I'm also reminded of one my bigger learnings as a manager - the stuff I'm best at is the hardest, but most important, to delegate. Sure it was easier to do it myself. But putting in the time to train,

Motivation is some combination of real and perceived effort Vs expected reward. Shorter isn't always better. For eg. Counting every single calorie is the shorter way to lose weight, but for most people, eating approximately healthy is

Lots of this rings true. Especially the "Solutions to plateaus are straightforward but not easy." part. So much of this psychological - both in being objective with your failings and in having to live with them every day until you

Some thoughts (I used to run a chain of 20+ coworking spaces) * Remote individual workers are the least attractive customer for the typical coworking space (that isn't a cafe). Small and unpredictable revenue, plus higher support per

It's not great for blindly generating code to use, but it's great for asking for help -debugging, planning etc. I ask it a lot of 'dumb' questions and I feel like I've learnt a lot more than I have in the past. It&#

Hard to tell from the article how widespread the issue is. They've been making the SE in India for 5 years so presumably some learning has happened. Is the issue on the new model? This run of parts?

There are two opposing forces that determine the net change - Greater productivity. A single carriage driver can now drive a bus, so fewer carriages are needed - Lower costs/ higher demand. Everyone who walked can now afford the bus, s

I doubt they feel safe, and twitter is a unique case. In general the cut once advice is not to make people less skittish immediately, it's to avoid the long term mistrust that comes from cutting repeatedly. When you do that, the messag

This is good advice for when you're larger, but I'd still share it. At 7 people, they should be involved. If anything it's an opportunity to earn their trust and show them you're in this together.
