My condolences to family and friends. Om writting has always been a reference since Web 2.0 era. Also enjoyed his photographabout friends and travel. Sad news RIP
Likewise I bought the Chromebook Pixel LS and a Pixelbook during that dark period before M-series laptops and these laptops were awesome and IMO well ahead of their time. The ChromeOS with all its faults was a modern OS without legacy. For example the OS settings are closer to the Phone OS like settings vs MacOS settings that are still a mess these days.
I don't know if it would come with the deal, but Bytedance web crawler is known to be the one with top number of requests per day among AI crawlers (src: https://blog.cloudflare.com/declaring-your-aindependence-blo... ) I guess one of Perplexity challenges is to have their own web index and of course that starts with having a powerful crawler. Also having a powerful crawler is useful for capturing tokens to train models. If that technology comes with the deal, it makes perfect sense for Perplexity to acquire them.
It is painful to read. To me in retrospective the major mistake in the presentation is that it barely talks about end users and how the iPhone enabled a new world of use cases. It is only about business/corporate, features and specs. When analyzing the iphone on those dimensions all the reactive action items are doomed. They had not a chance to compete with that analysis.
This is a very bad article, probably to attract traffic to their PM course.
For me is very simple, there are AI Product Managers. But those are not PMS that use AI tools but rather those that manage AI products. And there is a difference between Software 1.0 and Software 2.0 (AI or ML model based) products. These products are not managed as engineering but science. These products are managed with experiments. These products are non-deterministic. These products have virtually infinite inputs and outputs. These products do not address one problem but many at the same time. So, if you ask me of course there is a thing such as AI Product Manager but not what the author, and many other PMs, think.
I think the only proven use cases for ZUIs have been Maps, Calendars, and Photo apps (Apple Photos and Google Photos). The last two to switch between different time period views: Day->Month->Year for photos and Day>Week>Month for calendars.
I would love to see Perplexity.ai in the benchmark. It has completely replaced Google/DDG for information questions for me. I still use DDG when I want to do a navigational query (e.g. find the URL for a blog i partially recall the name).
Very nice hack! I did a very similar project integrating ChatGPT bot but using WhatsApp business account instead of fake facebook contact. I got my account blocked when Meta discovered I'm not a business unfortunately. I'll retake the project with the FB account, it seems much easier.
No, the reason macs are better on LLMs is memory bandwidth 800Gb/s on Ultra 2 . I couldn’t find a good source but it seems that Ally mem bandwidth is around 70GB/s
I’ve observed the same pattern in corporate world with folks which are close to promotion stage. Nice people suddenly become bitter and very hard to work with. Only the best stay nice.
100% Agree and unfortunately I don't have numbers. However, anecdotally I work for a big tech and I have one of the leases, and it is a very popular option across my colleagues. I'd probably never buy one, but with the lease I'm very happy customer. Also they gave the option to upgrade to newer models for $10 more dollars a month after a year which I think it helps them to fix operational issues. There is also in-campus maintenance which is very convenient. I think that if they operate/scale the lease business properly it could make a very good business in its own.
And leases, something very people know is that Van Moof has a great corporate leasing program. All big tech offer eBike commuting options paying Van Moof Leases.
I think it is genius, the bikes are expensive to buy, but $100 a month lease including maintenance is very popular among Big tech (especially if your company pays for it).
Then you are accepting that what drags your productivity down is commuting, not actually working from an office. Remote working may be a solution to your problem but comes with associated costs you may be not counting (misunderstandings, wrong team member mental models, alignment calls, longer on boarding times, suboptimal knowledge sharing, less serendipity/synergies in general). Another solution to your commuting problem is find a job that is closer to your place
