Glad we have a name for this. I had been calling it “context shaping” in my head for a bit now. I think good context engineering will be one of the most important pieces of the tooling that will turn “raw model power” into incredible outco

Spare parts are expensive because they’re priced to willingness to pay which is usually “if it’s significantly less to repair than replace, repair”. $100 part + $200 labor is cheaper than a new $500 machine. Repair let’s tend to have much

I can confirm. My company is a top 2,000 amazon seller (top 0.1%) and we’ve never bought or incentivized a single review. Our fake spot grade is “B” with some products getting “A” and others “D.” Most recently amazon changed their review

For business users, can a single password be stored in multiple “shared folders” or groups? For example, can I share a password with both “marketing” and “customer support” The lack of this is one of the biggest pains I have with LastPass

There are at least two other factors: 1) most of these certifications come with large philosophical impact. You can’t choose to be a “social impact only” B Corp, for example, you have to go all in on their philosophy on waste management to
