This is a great thought experiment bc it raises the question of WHY humans wouldn’t behave this way. IMO the answer is a lot of socially enforced incentives that are dynamic and would be tough to fully articulate in a prompt. The white hat

You’ve effectively created a slide over sidebar. It’s an interesting hack to get there but IMO “should” properly be the domain of the browser.

I think it holds true throughout if you scope it to knowledge about your reports’ domain. If you’re managing managers you should have a good handle on what a manager does and different ways to do it.

It seems like one reasonable response from game companies is to include a service agreement with all games that explicitly limits the guaranteed server uptime. Ie “buying this game only guarantees operation until Dec 31 2028” No clue if the

This is so cool. The discussion section [0] does a good job of explaining where this fits in, scientifically, but all I can think of is spies sending messages encoded in a piece of scotch tape. [0] - https://iopscience.iop.org&#x

In my experience a good async culture is sustained by regular, high-quality check-in meetings. They serve as connecting moments that support team cohesion and camaraderie.

If there's two things HN hates it's UX designers, PMs and off-by-one errors. As a UX designer I have to laugh: one of the most important parts of building good UX is humility and a willingness to be wrong. The confidence with with

My take in this (ironic) comment was just "no feature is free", which I don't think should be odd coming from a UX designer! > the idea is perhaps that users vibe-code their own distinct UX with everything valuable to them

Israel kills people then calls them "operatives" after the fact. They have no credibility around these kinds of reports.

Gonna need at least a single link to a source before I believe this. Googling provides Facebook links and YouTube videos from Fox News and AI generated “news” sites.

I believe that everyone deserves food housing and and security regardless of what they do or don’t do professionally. I have no logical argument only a moral one, which I sense would not be sufficient to convince you.

From the post it's clear that the shop has a set schedule of services and prices that the bot is pulling from. All the things you're saying are true for a shop that needs to custom quote each job but do not apply to the situation

Yep! That's almost always the correct solution. It can be a lot to figure out, tho: which perspectives are most valuable to present? Are the linkages clear? Does this kind of box belong on THIS chart or THAT chart?!

As the resident Diagram Maker at my job I really appreciate any and all discourse on the topic. Knowing the purpose of your diagram is a hugely under-appreciated part of the process. Service flow chart or system architecture? High level sys

What the AI doing now is in fact what classical radio DJs do; the author wants a general purpose smart music playing robot, not a “DJ” per se.

The issue is that in domains novel to the user they do not know what is trivially false or a non sequitur and the LLM will not help them filter these out. If LLMs are to be valuable in novel areas then the LLM needs to be able to spot these

In my job the task of fully or appropriately specifying something is shared between PMs and the engineers. The engineers' job is to look carefully at what they received and highlight any areas that are ambiguous or under-specified. LLM

I caught that too. The piece is otherwise good imo, but "the luddites were wrong" is wrong. In fact, later in the piece the author essentially agrees – the proposals for UBI and other policies that would support workers (or ex-wor

The matte effect is a huge part of why these look bad. Marble does an amazing job of showing off the subtle variations in the carving and matte paint flattens everything out. A glossier finish and literally any variation of tones would vast

Governments like all institutions are able to do many things at once. Connecting their water problems to the issues you list is essentially a non sequitur absent specific evidence of either/or policy choices.
