Whether it be corporates, Eiffel Tower management, or religious groups, I guess the new norm is - better to ask for forgiveness. I am Indian origin so full disclosure done. I saw a picture of the group's 93 year old head in ascetic rob

What triggered me to ask was because I can see myself writing that. Not the content but the style. In the old days, I will spend time finessing an argument and feel happy about it. But with the pace nowadays plus the AI, it is a different w

... or frustrated. "I have my quota of jiras to meet, and this person is taking up too much of my time when it was such a simple issue which no one complains about". Not a good customer service mindset, but frustration happens.

I am curious. When you put this money in kids names, do they (or we) get taxed on this? If we save on taxes, then for a person (or their child) with high income and high state taxes, the benefit of the 3% may be larger than it appears to be

Lets just break the lynx users for once, and see who complains. Change it to 81. Small enough to be invisible to most users, but when it breaks, someone will come up and shout. Better than going to 100, 132, 140 or 280.

So at the end of it, if we win enough lawsuits to demarcate some knowledge out of bounds, sufficient enough to make a difference, I wonder how that will affect the AI. Make it dumber because it does not have that data, it make it smarter s

Have seen this so many times. And like you, having spent decades in tech, I know the cycle well. Some engineers know the problem today, but the directors will arrive at the same conclusion / concern 1-3 years later, when it becomes obv

I tried it once. Maybe 8-9 months back.I recall doing it soon after one travel, so that's why I can pinpoint it and this may be useful to figure which AI versions were available then. The challenge is length and the context window. I h

> no more skiing, endless smoke inhalation from wildfires, etc. I wonder what our ancestors did, lets say 500 years back. Did they have wildfires? Skiing? I get the point about humans causing unprecedented harm to the planet. However, th

No I don't have a thesis. About pricing, Netflix is constantly raising its prices and making more and more money (their stock is broken for last few months only) because they learned how to maximize profit by serving less customers but

Begging? Component price goes up, they increase their prices. Where's the begging? Just like US had oil but as the world prices went up, US oil prices went up. No one will sell it cheap inside the country for patriotism. Same thing her

No me, well me too but not that bad, but my wife. Sometimes in the 200x era on green card, she will always get called for secondary inspection. Oh you entered this airport on this date. How are you re-entering without going out. "Well

Let me see what I can do. Thanks ! May take me a month since I am sure I can polish it a lot more, not on how to create a deck but how to prep.

I am late 50s and I still find talks overwhelming. What has worked though is 1. Recordings. Go into zoom, and give a talk with recording on. Listen to yourself, just once per recording but more if you can tolerate your voice :) It shows you

I do this so many times. Type in a large amount of text and the only thing final in my mind is para breaks and the idea per paragraph. And then give it to AI saying "sending to director", "sending to friends on WhatsApp group
