It was a real bummer to see our former vet on here. Manchac Animal Clinic is a real place that we took our dogs to for a long time. The docs and staff there are amazing. Seeing their storefront and pictures used like this just… sucks. But a

Agree. Also as a PM, one of the most important things you can do, once you've decided or understood "this is the most important thing we can be working on," is to sell that vision internally so you have high alignment and thu

Those vendors likely won’t accept hardsubs, because it would mean 10 video files for 10 languages, instead of soft subs where you get 1 video file 10 languages (10 different subtitle files). But here’s the other thing - CR could have used t

Well, they can, and at least did. I know because I was one of them! The P&L that I rolled up to our execs was dead simple as well. I think everyone had a pretty clear picture of what was going on, down to the fraction of the hour.

It’s cheaper than you might think. Much like in gaming, there’s a lot of people who really want to work in the anime industry, even if it’s just on the localization and distribution side. This drives down salaries quite a bit.

I agree - this is the right take. Spend a little extra because your customers REALLY care.

That’s why I said the SUBS are awesome… not the translations ;-)

It’s a great question actually, and the answer has mostly to do with Romanization. Japanese and English are sufficiently structurally different, that even the sentence length won’t necessarily be one to one (eg subject and object inverted).

Hah, this is my time to shine. I worked in anime subtitling and timing for a number of years. I helped write our style guide — things like how to handle signs, overlapping dialogue, colors etc. It wound up being quite a large document! But

From a purely supply chain perspective, how should we be navigating this as a hardware startup? I also read today that a NATO official "urged businesses to be prepared for a wartime scenario and adjust their production and distribution

I'm just... Incredibly suspicious of this. I've just this week received an email from Klarna that "effective October 10th, 2024, JPMorgan Chase will no longer allow customers to make Klarna payments using their JPMorgan Chase

That's fair enough I think! I totally agree that larger backlogs tend toward staleness. Just like a good shrub, they need care, feeding, and trimming :) By the way, I enjoyed the article! It's a good share, and appreciate the pers

I appreciate the sentiment here, but this is not my experience. I talk to our customers almost every day, and for this reason, we have all kinds of well-vetted features and improvements in our backlog. There's always more to do than yo

Yep I work on Search as well -- both of these books are excellent. Website search is... hard. A lot of the faceting still needs to be done by hand. I think there's probably some opportunity for LLMs to make some sort of autotagging&#x2

What about like, blogs, for instance, as a source of training data? Is the differentiating factor here something like, it's lots of people interacting with other people?

What about it is valuable? Isn't all of that "data" just their content that is pretty easily scrape-able by anyone?

Yes I did this. It was pretty tough but there is a way. I was fired from a job in the media industry and decided to start over in tech. It was really a low point for me honestly; I can empathize I think with your post. I found an entry-leve

I'm a huge fan of contemporary poetry. I can give a few recommendations, but of course you'll have your own tastes, so I'll try to annotate :) "Here, Bullet" by Brian Turner. Poetry of the Iraq war. "In the Sur

This article is about organizations, but I'm curious how this plays out on web properties as well. The larger ones I imagine make use of many different data sources, and that data needs to be federated somehow, or one loses out on the

A nice slice-of-life article. The world of used and rare booksellers has always been fascinating and alluring to me, a lover of books. Books like "Club Dumas" (upon which the great yet unfortunately directed movie "Ninth Gate

This is such a tired take. It's part of a steady stream of commentary that reads something like "non-engineering-role X is bullshit." Here, we see engineers reduce the contributions of such common roles as: Product Manger, Pr

My take here (as a T.PgM) is that I really see my role as doing the opposite of what you describe. We really do try to think quite a bit about if a meeting is necessary, can it be moved to async communications (whitepaper, email, ticket, sl

That's interesting that you mention Project Managers, mainly because my experience has been just the opposite. We've been leaning much harder on those folks to manage the increased communication and coordination overhead that come

I'd contend that getting licence to practice law or medicine is neither quick nor easy. Tech definitely has a lower barrier to entry and has plenty of positions that are far less tedious than equivalent (in terms of pay and status) car

I think I'd have the same question. I have a friend who coached a club sport for high school students. They said that they saw, over their tenure, over 100 homeschooled kids come through their teams, and they can remember only a single
