This is a great framing - would you please expound on it a bit. Software is almost exclusively gated by the "thinking" step, except for very large language models, so it would be helpful to understand the gates ("access to models or access to materials") in more detail.
iphone app is broken for me, and according to reviews, many others. I paid the $12 for full access and currently unplayable. Notes don't load, song does't start - help!
Once you identify what you need - you must also identify what the mentor will get out of the relationship. Primarily the mentor gets to feel high-value and appreciated. They may also be interested in hiring you or people you know. They may want to leverage your ideas or time - particularly on things that are not worth their time but are worth exploring. The relationship should not be exploitative, but should be mutually beneficial. You can indicate your value to them by doing some homework. Cold email is great, but have a specific question - "I'm interested in AI but having a hard time finding the right role to transition into the field - do you see good areas for me to apply my loosely related skill-set and get a toe-hold?".
I was squarely in the author's camp and am now a little less so having seen the impact of false positives on my family. Anxiety is real and harmful, and humans are generally very bad at responding to tiny, explicit risk of big harm (small nodule in lung that may be cancer or not, covid, vaccine side-effects, shark attacks).
I've been thinking about writing a kids book with Red and Green armies waging a battle in their tummy and feeding green things helps the good guys win. Too many red (fats, sugars, simple carbs) arm the baddies. Maybe a child psychiatrist would tell me this is a horrible idea, so I haven't asked any. :)
Walmart Ecommerce | remote-friendly (US), NYC homeoffice | Full-Time | Engineers of all levels and Eng Managers
Building automated customer care solutions over chat, sms, smart speaker, and phone. We've set ambitious goals for this year and are collaborating with teams across Walmart to define and implement the future of Walmart Customer Care.
Some things we believe in are:
1. High expectations and autonomy
2. Libraries over frameworks
3. Event-Sourcing/CQRS
4. Functional programming (F# today)
5. Uptime & performance as a feature
6. Continuous learning and sharing
7. Data-driven decisions
8. Respect for team members
9. No. 8 Allows for vigorous discussion of ideas
I believe founders/companies can and do "cause broad negative economic impacts for their own enrichment", but creating a lower-cost path to the same good/result is a good thing fundamentally. Yes, this can cause greater income/life-experience inequality, and we should adjust for that, but in ways that do not punish innovation. In short, we should optimize for human happiness by better sharing the wealth rather than by limiting it.
Video games provide this lesson relatively cheaply. The next level is tantalizing but the high of winning lasts...5 minutes? 1 day? The intensity of what you describe is not felt in this example, but going through that cycle 20 times is instructive.
Another way to look at it: In life/happiness, optimize for the area under the curve, not for a single high point.
How does bookmarking work/How do I keep track of how far I've read while replaying from Batch? Will you also index by date? It can take a long time to replay a lot of data; do you have any numbers on the read rates you support per topic?
This interview with Kirshner is a good read as well: https://www.aip.org/history-programs/niels-bohr-library/oral... And a reminder that science is not generally moved forward by strokes of brilliance, but by a whole bunch of people grinding at the fuzzy edge until the picture becomes a little more clear.
