I never really understood the concept of small teams. Managing a small team really does not provide the scale and benefit that a medium to large team does. Lost bandwidth of manager of said small team or extra salary of the same manager seem like something the company could use in other places.
But often such teams in faang come up as a by product of someone’s empire building and that is unfortunate for others involved in it.
can someone tell me what are some common use cases of such a tool? may be i'm not the intended customer base, but am curious to know what others are using it for.
i think your use of the phrase "terrifying forum" is aptly justified here. that has got to be the most unsettling subreddit i have every come across on reddit, and i have been using reddit for more than a decade at this point.
i read in an earlier thread for this on HN - "this is a classic example of data driven product decision" aka we can reduce costs by $x if we just stopped goo.gl links. Instead of actually wondering how this would impact the customers.
Also helps that they are in a culture which does not mind killing services on a whim.
it's a third of the price to begin with. I think readwise has a winner in reader app, but they sure do charge a premium for the same. You can get the same functionality in linkwarden or pinboard for a fraction of readwise's subscription pricing.
here is an idea, curious what others think of this:
split the entire coursework into two parts:
part 1 - students are prohibited from using AI. Have the exams be on physical papers than digital ones requiring use of laptop/computer. I know this adds burden on corrections and evaluations of these answers, but I think this provides a raw answer to someone's understanding of concepts being taught in the class.
part2 - students are allowed, and even encouraged to use LLMs. And they are evaluated based on the overall quality of the answer, keeping in mind that a non zero portion of this was generated using an LLM. Here the credit should be given to the factual correctness of the answer (and if the student is capable of verifying the LLM output).
Have the final grade be some form of weighted average of a student's scores in these 2 parts.
note: This is a raw thought that just occurred to me while reading this thread, and I have not had the chance to ruminate on it.
is it because there are features that AWS provides to you that are not available in GCP, or just the fact that setting up exact replicas of processes is hard for migrations like these?
1. the majority user base does not care and/or is not willing to pay for the ads
2. these platforms/products do not want to cater to the minority that cares about their privacy and not being exposed to any advertising
one thing i definitely worry is about using public lands for oil, mineral extraction purposes.
while America has a bounty of public land acreage wise, 4 years and a complete control of the government is a lot of time to do some lasting damage to the ecosystem by opening up these areas for privatization.
learnt a lot in the process too - kudos to him
