The idea stays: you can jerry-rig a web crawler from pedestrian, readily available parts, and quickly test the idea for which you wanted to crawl the Web.

The point is that bash, xargs, wget, make, etc are well-understood, well-maintained tools. They are not even necessarily simple, but they likely contain very few unknown unknowns.

A good infrastructure team would seek a competent security review that would say "no" to problematic things before an intruder says "aha" to them. If feedback from the ethics team is not sought, nobody is going to heed its opinion anyway.

@dang, please consider updating.

Putting the phone into a metal box, and the box, onto something not flammable, would help.

(Brought my own 4K monitor to work, like I did the last few times.)

The more levels the org chart has, the more pronounced the effect may be.

Think vision, spatial reasoning, speech synthesis, even some speech analysis. Think self-driving cars (and drones) that need 10x less power for the brain, and can think at 10x situation per second.

One should remember that most business metrics are as approximate, or even more so, as human judgment. They are often picked because they are easy to measure, while being reasonable enough proxies. To remove human judgment because metrics are "more objective" is to forget that most metrics were also chosen subjectively, and sometimes with a clandestine desire to look better at the moment

The story is based around the AI transformation, but it's not AI-specific. It's about the organization stopping to value human judgment, to its own eventual peril. Currently there's no comparable replacement in many key areas.

They still do, if you want your changes be made public, or even upstreamed.

No sane license that gives access to the source code forbids modification for internal use; one reason is that it would be really hard to enforce.

Wired: fetch DB records and construct domain objects, pass them around, do mutation on the outermost level within an explicit transaction. (Typical best practice.)

Inspired: "functional core, imperative shell".

Not having to land but instead having to carry some extra fuel while the engines work in their most efficient mode, and the air drag is low at a high altitude, should make airlines money. Else they won't try that :)

This is the fear that dictates the damned speed™: either you go up insanely fast, or you die. If your goals do not align with this approach, do not take VC money. If you want to develop things without haste, only join a startup with a proven PMF and insanely goos sales team, which takes care of hockey- stick growth so that you can concentrate on quality.

Try that. Some of the best ideas get born during the "idle time".
