Many people don't understand this, even big tech engineers. They see LLMs as a bottleneck. It's more that they don't understand how to use it to multiply their skills, just basics and code gen.

He also ruined the Vision Pro on his way out. Engineers wanted to do wireless to a Mac mini-like hub (not standalone) so the hub could have more computing power. It’s a dev device that was supposed to be the very best experience for develop

I think less people care about it politically than you think. Most people I know who have Teslas stand by the product even through Elon’s dumb shit. I think people care more about their own convenience. There’s nothing else in our market th

That’s an amazing story. The wife really gathered together all the right people to create a phage treatment to save her husband’s life. Great job on all the doctors and scientists that figured out how to make it so quickly.

It’s a pretty common phrase for “what’s the ultimate goal?” I don’t think it’s meant to be taken as a chess metaphor.

Downstream impact is gamed internally at Amazon. People crucified Sears for making teams compete internally but that’s literally what’s happening at Amazon at a larger scale. Teams and orgs regularly push back against helping each other. Wi

Amazon has started to refuse returns on many items. One of their core customer value mechanisms has been destroyed. Online shopping requires returns. Removing that option significantly reduces trust and value.

Even the chronic pain patients should not have had the amounts prescribed to them that they were. Doctors were incentivized to give as much as possible. Creating addicts in people who may otherwise would not have been. I personally knew peo

Are you one of the lawyers? None of that would’ve happened if they didn’t start the flood of opiates to begin with. It wasn’t a marginally increased issue, they flooded the market with it. People with minor pain were getting massive bottles

Maybe the extra cost is to look into bringing it down without destroying it. Would be good to study it for data on long term spacecraft.

Really sad to see something so amazing get picked apart for its value. I really wish Paul set up endowments to continue his projects. I don’t know if he knew how his sister would handle his estate but it doesn’t seem like what he wanted.

When we are paying for it, we should care about those things.

James Hoffman is a coffee YouTuber. From community post by James Hoffman: I just wanted to write a quick update post about the Hames Joffmann channel. For those unfamiliar, it was a channel that recut and recomposed my videos delightfully a

I don’t understand why Mazda doesn’t just make a drift-tuned electric car. You could do amazing stuff with software focused on that driving style. A true electric successor to the RX-7 would capture so much attention.

Why aren’t they naming the “telecommunications store”? Does knowing the employee did it make the company liable for damages?

If you own a Vizio, your viewing data is collected and sold to advertisers anyways. They have ACR software running that can recognize any content playing on the tv. Casted, OTA, streaming… they’re all logged and tracked for advertisers. Ins

If you trust that the people you are working with are working towards the same goal, disagree and commit is important. You are not going to be right 100% of the time. If the group is saying X is the right way to go and you’ve already given

Seems like the in between of a managed service and raw AWS trying to take advantage of individual AWS accounts having a free tier. So have the customer make the account, take advantage of the free 10k emails a month to claim a lower price.

Create IDE configs and other guardrails to limit churn and discussions on already determined style for your team. Clear goals and acceptance criteria.

Marketed to the general public but will be used by pros. The goal is excitement and investment in the app ecosystem so, when they figure out the form factor, the cheaper/lighter/more useful future device is a bigger hit.

If they work better now (maybe limitations in the past like transfer speeds), what’s the problem?

Yeah, I love it. Learn about the entire process and keep going rather than cutting short after a perceived failure.

I think edge is doing the most interesting customer focused features for browsers that I’ve seen in a long time. I get that some might feel it’ll get bloated but most are configurable. It’s not for everyone but it’s interesting to see someo

I have 3 Gerton desks that will probably last my whole life. Solid beech. They have also discontinued it. Probably related to this article since they were made with solid wood.

I know I won’t convince you but I think Edge is better than stock chrome. It has active development on interesting features. Weird to think they’re shoving their ecosystem. It’s a beta. You’re welcome to wait for the full release.

Amazon hasn’t been “customer obsessed” in years. The leadership there is “promotion obsessed.” Bloated management with too many empire builders. Make big flashy features with no real need or something that optimizes for short term target nu

I’m sure things used to be this way but “we’re like a startup” is so overused in big tech these days. It’s usually an excuse for something wrong rather than the benefits of a startup. I wish we were building for customers instead of buildin

Some key facts, like the one you mentioned, aren’t visible if you don’t have a WSJ account. It’s just a bait headline for a normal cycle. They even say it is just more people included in the 10% because of strong recent hiring increasing th
