How do you know people are entering pricing info honestly? How do I trust anonymous respondents?

I think it is valuable to step back and see why meetings exist and then try to fix them if they are not addressing their purpose.

Meeting are valuable because they are solving a coordination problem. Without meetings people would be misaligned.

I want to have fun programming but I also want to make sure I am working on things that are important to the business and to the customers. Meetings help in navigating that vague space.

(1337 - 2) * 4 = 5340

P.S. I am not ChatGPT but was unable to stop myself. Also, ChatGPT agrees.

Here is a seemingly counterintuitive idea. Can you partner with them? Together your team could be unbeatable. You provide the engineering, they provide the marketing.

As you point out they have an order of magnitude more users. Evidently they have some skills in marketing and distribution.

I wonder if this is how student behavior has always been. The retrospective view makes the past look better. Ah the good old days when everything was better. See rosy retrospection [1] for more examples.

Can you say more? Is this text-to-speech or speech-to-text?

Could you say more about your analyst job? What kind of an analyst are you? How are you measured?

Not really. I don’t like the output of GPT-based LLMs. The output sounds too flat. It puts me to sleep. So it will likely have the same effect on the readers.

I find LLMs useful for research. If I want to understand a new term or a new area, asking the LLM a few questions is a quick way of getting a broad overview. Frequently specific details are incorrect but I still get a decent overview. Sometimes I ask it to summarize popular books. In the past I would skim through the reviews on Amazon or skim through the table of contents. The LLM’s summary of the book gives me a quick idea of what it is about and if it is worth investigating further.

Both and "cost" and "de-cost" are verbs.

0x6461188A — Fri, 06 Oct 2023 05:04:53 +0000

I like the site, but installable apps already have an app store. Why not target a much more underserved market—the uninstallable apps. Basically an app store for web apps that work on mobile. You could charge users for the apps and then send 70% of the revenue to the app creators.

How is this usable. I see no documentation. There is a docs folder but all it contains is a code of conduct.

According to the article the startup is called "Humanitaria". Where can I find more information about them? Is there a link? I would like to buy a couple of these beds for when relatives visit.

I meant the bed for a normal sized human.
