I don't think the same things that help humans help agents. Simplicity helps humans, for agents parsing complexity is a breeze. Not saying code quality isn't important - it is. But I think what is described as quality code will ch

This is really just arguing semantics. The reality is that programmers are working at a higher level than they were before. Call it whatever you want.

Its getting pretty close. Chatgpt can easily figure out your order and find you a restaurant. It just can't do the last mile bit of placing the order itself.

"give all the info on your product" Exactly except: If you're a CEO, the info you care about is one set of info. If you're a user, the info you care about is different. If you're some other influencer, the info you

That was really cool. It gave me a riddle for the first digit, but I repeated the riddle back to her which she took as the correct answer. Then a 20 questions quiz for the second digit which was cool, then a series of clues for the last di

Seems to me you should setup SSO and do whatever compliance you need to do, and get those customers on board.

Sorry for your loss. It sounds like you had a very close relationship with him that must make it really hard. I lost my dad 7 years ago last month, and it's been the hardest thing in my life. If it's any consolation for you, you w

Not sure why this is getting downvoted, because it is 100% correct - the statement is a risk disclosure, not a threat

Yes it is, it depends on the efficacy of the vaccine and the transmissibility of the virus.

The flu is seasonal, so the northern hemisphere looks at what flu is in the Southern Hemisphere during their flu season and vice versa.

It’s way more than 900k locked down - Victoria, NSW and South Australia are locked down. That’s a sizeable chunk of the population.

In a small company they can be the same, but as you get more users, you would be wasting your customer success team because they’ll be spending all their time answering questions like “how do I add a contact”

Yes it should be separate. Support helps with the how, customer success helps with higher level strategic support, uncovering needs, upselling, etc. At a certain level, probably between 1-2m ARR, customer success becomes accretive.

The vaccines on the market went through the same trial process as these new ones, just that these new ones did it quicker.

I would be surprised if they didn't specifically test all participants in the trial for covid antibodies, symptoms or not. Does anybody know what validation was done?

> Is there a cost-based rationale for doing a percentage-based pricing model, or is it really "because they can"? It’s definitely because they can. There is no rule that pricing must be cost based.

It’s not just dev time, that would be easy. It’s getting every customer to re-enter their credit card details which won’t happen without a significant uptick in arrears, and depending on the type of customer, churn.

RCT = randomised controlled trial - a trial where some test subjects are given the vaccine and some are given the vaccine, then you follow the subjects and see which ones get COVID and how bad. There are already a bunch of vaccines going th

When you’re talking about wage prices, definition 1 is the relevant definition. Definition 1 includes both supply and demand. You have a worker willing to work for $50/hr and someone willing to pay them $50/hr. Definition 2 is onl

I am not talking about the intrinsic worth of a human. I’m talking about the price of their labor. Someone’s labor being worth $50 or $5 is a function of supply and demand.

by lukevdp 6y ago
Yes but it is wrong to do so because wages are not set only by the worth a worker is to a company. That is only one side of the equation (demand). The labour market also have a supply side component which is the ability for the company to f

Someone is not worth $50/hr if someone else is willing to do the same job with equal capability for $5/hr.
