Or the government was planning to cut funding, and to stop that from happening someone deliberately created the interference. Statistically speaking, that's more likely than aliens going extinct after sending one single message.

Not sure about radiation, but I once tried to boil an egg in the microwave and the microwave exploded. For a second, I thought the chicken had secretly developed human-level intelligence and planted an explosive inside the egg to get back a

Although I'm sure @stinkbeatle was joking, I should clarify that most LLMs are trained on books and online articles written by professional writers. That's why they tend to have a rich vocabulary and use things like hyphens. I agr

The best PMs are like mini-CEOs, and many of them go on to become CPOs. But there's a lot of confusion in the software industry about what the role of a PM should be. For example, I see companies putting too much emphasis on usage metr

It does sound a bit weird, I have to admit. Customer Experience Manager sounds better or just CX Manager. For me, the title Product Manager sets the wrong expectation, it makes it sound like they own the product, which clashes with other ro

I think the role of Product Manager should be renamed Customer Manager to avoid confusion and conflicts of interest. Some companies like Airbnb tried switching to Program Manager, but that only adds to the confusion. Right now, the Product

Time. Most of my 10-hour workday people bombard me with messages and meeting requests. Messages I can usually ignore, but meeting requests get abused by some. Anyone can send one anytime and it hijacks your focus. I wish companies would set

People skills matter for product managers, but they come after customer and product experience, business and product strategy, and execution and delivery. Otherwise you just end up with a nice PM who doesn't know how to move the produc

Lots of product managers have never studied product development. You'll find philosophers, designers, physicists, even musicians in the role. Many have great people skills, but little understanding of customer service, building product

I would say 100% of their audience should be held accountable. Watching a crime take place, no matter how entertaining it seems, and not reporting it to the police is still a crime. In most civilised countries, complacent viewers are also r

I remember buying into OpenAI's claim that I had Aristoteles in my pocket, and at first I was amazed. Then one day I realised it wasn't Aristoteles at all, it was my little brother Timmy. From that day on, whenever Timmy says some

Newton was obsessed with the idea that matter could be transformed, which is basically what alchemy is about. He thought metals like lead could be changed into gold if you uncovered the hidden principles of nature. In a way, he was chasing

I'd argue that shamelessness and countersignalling are different things but share the same foundation: confidence. Shamelessness is acting without embarrassment and countersignalling is deliberately downplaying because you're so c

Test-driven development is back. Since LLMs rely on patterns learned from large amounts of text, the results are relative. If the training data contained more Rust repos, that could explain why it feels stronger in Rust. The way AI companie

I read about this the other day. The argument is that a one-party system can push through long-term plans more easily because it doesn't get interrupted by elections or changes in government like democracies do.
