Exactly. I wouldn't expect most teachers to take an interest. One it's outside of their area of knowledge and two it's beyond their job description. But as I said, there are teachers who would. The right kind of teacher for

I remember being annoyed by splash back in sixth grade. I mocked up an alternative design (essentially, a urinal that tilted away from you), and emailed some friends. They never responded, and I never followed up. Looking back I feel sad -

how did you make this transition? i still, deep down, identify as being "smart". i don't like being wrong, and it's my go-to ego lick at work, "well bad thing x may have happened, but at least I'm still valued

Yes! Ive started getting a feel for AI writing on blogs. It feels slightly verbose and involves "reveals" "It's not the naked man on your lawn waving a chainsaw that's scaring you. It's the burrito you ate for

As a manager I'm guilty in part of driving the cult of speed However I noticed that whether a team member thought for a day, or thought for a week, the result was essentially the same. The tactics may have more details but the overall

At first I thought this person has no clue what ceos actually do. But then I realized that may be part of the satire - ceos fire people without actually knowing what they do other than high level bullet points "What does this team do?

While you are resting I'd recommend meditation. You have a lot of thoughts, and you are trying to make sense of them. Just create some space. Sit with them. Things will eventually make sense. Or not, some mysteries don't get solv

Well that's part of the problem. AI is not accountable - if you take its advice and hurt yourself, who is responsible? A real doctor is accountable. They might both "know" a lot of things but implicitly the party who is acco

This gets at the biggest gap I see in AI discussions - the accountability It doesn't disappear when you make 1 person do the work of 3. It simply is aggregated Suppose you had a pod of a PM, designer, and analyst. Leadership lays off t

Yes the lead is buried in the article. The drug reduces AHI by 4. It could only cure very mild sleep apnea. Otherwise it seems most useful as an additional treatment with CPAP. It could also help raise awareness of sleep apnea - try the dr
