New comment by redlampdesk in "Stoop Coffee: A simple idea transformed my neighborhood"

Rented a house with friends in sf in 2016. We created a facebook group for our neighborhood, put up signs, and very quickly had a similar experience. A few neighbors over for drinks one night, hosted a weekend bbq a few weeks later. Quickly got to know a lot of people on my immediate block. One guy fixed my bike. An older woman called me when her fire alarm was intermittently beepting, to see if I could fix it. Had a few other events through the group, they were a highlight of the year. Made it clear to me how much latent desire there is for connection / friends from your neighbors.

More senior employees can easily know ~1000x more about the company than new employees. These employees are like lower branches on a tree, their knowledge crucially supporting many others. Key departures can sever entire branches.

Directory of Products Built with LLMs?

I'm sure this exists. Would someone mind pointing me to it?

More specifically, I'm interested in scheduling tools /APIs built with LLMs

(that take natural language input – "Schedule 30 minutes for this sometime later this week" – and schedules an event accordingly)

Especially this year, phone/twitter usage and general scrolling feels like it's gotten out of control for me. Putting together a weekly Zoom meeting as a chance to talk about with other folks who are also struggling.

Did I need to create this, or are there already good places to have this kind of meeting?

Welcome copy thoughts.

On the topic, why is shopping for auto-insurance such a crappy experience?

How to spend $1,500 education stipend

redlampdesk — Sun, 29 Mar 2020 03:44:07 +0000

I work in customer support at a startup that offers a $1,500 education stipend. I welcome ideas about how to use it to kickstart my own technical development.

Non-orthodox/bad ideas welcome as well.
