From my perspective the issue is analytics support. You’ll need a step that turns it into something supported by BI tools. Obviously if something like Trino picks up the format it’s not an issue
On a backpacking trip, a guy and I were hiking together for a moment. I was snapping photos of the landscape and he started to chastise me for it. He made the same point. It’s about the people you’re with. Eventually, all the photos blur together.
He’s not wrong. I’ve got tons of pictures of the outdoors. Not that they aren’t beautiful. Pressed, I mostly couldn’t tell one from the other.
I’ll typically use the defaults initially and then use a Modelfile if it’s something I plan on using. I think you can dump the modelfile ollama uses to have a template to work with.
Start ups that choose things like Azure are a red flag for me. Churn is really problematic. Learning a code base by having to poke and grok takes a lot longer than being able to fire off a few questions.
Very accurate description. I think this gets missed sometimes. Sometimes you’re criticizing because you know a subject well and want to see it improved.
Maybe it’s because I started with hydroponics. I don’t get the fascination with soil or animosity about hydroponics being unnatural. People do vastly underestimate what it takes to create a good soil mixture, though. In the end, you’re suspending nutrients in a substrate for the plants to uptake regardless of how you go about providing them.
I want to say it was a buoy. I might be wrong on that. I distinctly remember one of those plastic flamingos. If you’re asking about my event idea. Unfortunately, we didn’t end up doing it.
USPS will mail all sorts of things. WIRED would let you mail them tons of interesting things. Working remotely I thought it would be hilarious to have everyone try and mail each other weird stuff as a company event.
I’ve seen papers that show they can do math. There was one recent-ish one HN that showed an understanding of addition. I’m not convinced myself. At least the open weight models don’t seem to grasp integers. Doing conversions are typically a flop as well. My doubt really comes from how abstract mathematics really is. It’s entirely its own kind of terse language and symbolism. Maybe if there was the kind of focus on it like coding there would be better results?
Likewise been going to synagogue. I would hardly call myself a religious person. Far more a nihilist who thinks we should try and do good if it is truly all pointless. I think the meaningfulness and the sense of community is nice. It’s typically better than being glued to the kinetoscope
I personally like cooperatives too. I’ve always wondered if instead of a tech union a cooperative might be a better fit. No solution is perfect, though. Lots of people want to make an income and not deal with the now governance part of their job. You also have people that are attracted to those kinds of organizations who also desire the governance part. Which goes back to the trope about those that should have authority don’t often want it.
This is called the hamster wheel and destroys trust rather than builds it, ime. Maybe it communicates trust to the org? The people within the team will question the motives. One piece of advice I read early on, was don’t bullshit your engineers. They know.
I’m a big fan of value as prioritization. Work on the things that deliver value. However value is defined. Revenue, nps, etc. Ime, small companies don’t care about deadlines or they shouldn’t. They care about what’s delivering value or the next outcome. It’s only as you grow the company suddenly people want deadlines. Or you have small companies that misunderstand what their focus should be. There are obviously some time constraints that need deadlines. You can’t work on something for the holidays and deliver in Feb.
I think the unique perspective part is something I’m understanding. It’s easy to read or see other people’s work and think you don’t have anything to add
