30% on sales up to 10 million, 25% on additional sales up to $50 million, 20% on sales above that.

We went to school together :) I would agree with Prof Sayood's "Signals and Systems" was a great class. I would agree that many TAs, including myself when I was a TA, were confused and/or overwhelmed.

I've been in some good coordinating calls for widespread incidents. Many unique individuals (15+) talked in a ten minute period, sharing context on what their teams were seeing, what re-meditations had worked for them, etc..

Some EVs start with capacity “gated off” to limit the depth of early cycles and provide a more graceful degradation.

Decline of the stay at home mom. Both parents tired from work means less quality attention, less consistent meals, etc..

I gave this LOVE framework a try a couple years ago, but was dissuaded by the amount of spritework needed for my game. But looking at your prototype games here, they look pretty good and playable as is.

I would love a restaurant review site that could tell you “your brother’s friend from college has been here once and liked it”.

The union could hold shares in a trust, pledging not to sell. Then vote with the shares, and distribute any dividends through to the workers.

A 32" computer monitor is awful similar to a dumb TV from 20 years back. Projectors too.

Seems a promising approach. Feedback at the bottom is (?) missing a submit button. Article was fine, but veered into overly verbose with redundant sections. A simplification pass, even on the outline, could help.

New comment by DylanDmitri in "Algorithmic Wage Discrimination (2023)"

Wait staff paid directly by customers is different from payments processed opaquely by the employer. Consider if a server got paid tips based only on the number of customer smiles detected by the restaurant security cameras.

For 121, I ratio 130:80, then because I started ten under I subtract half that at the end. So about 75.

It could be the guy was fine, and then something happened (bad case of long COVID?) and he’s left with the authority but not the discernment.

New comment by DylanDmitri in "AI companies are pivoting from creating gods to building products"

DylanDmitri — Tue, 20 Aug 2024 01:31:49 +0000

I’m seeing a lot of meh products that take like 4 units of effort to integrate. I think multiple LLMs, deeply integrated into a cohesive product with 100+ effort units, that can be great. An AI that’s familiar with the use of every settings menu on windows would be awesome

Passive listening vs. Active creation. Also I supplemented my classes with doodle breaks.

New comment by DylanDmitri in "Microsoft "doubling down" on cybersecurity"

DylanDmitri — Sat, 27 Apr 2024 19:40:33 +0000

I’ve heard this means: teams get several months to work on just security. A lot of the work is cleaning up internal tools, secrets in deployment pipelines, that kind of work.

Some can be constructed with varying levels of success. Default Golly comes with an “infinite novelty” scenario; it’s worth checking out for a couple hours.

Breaks down to: (1) build trust with your people, then (2) give them autonomy to guide their own work. The inverse of "Seeing Like a State".
