Of course management would like to make that claim, but I don't see it substantiated. In what way is management "owning the consequences" -- are they losing their equity or risking an unpaid suspension?
This is such a simplistic view I have difficulties deciding where to even start. Think of a manager as someone who engineers the fabric of the organization. Most of my time is spent debugging, communicating, finding the right abstractions, configuring processes - all very similar to the engineering work I previously did.
How would an investor see it? If an investor had access to a top-ranked management model, would s/he willingly spend 100x more on a person instead?
Or if you're saying you still do engineering/product work, then perhaps it shouldn't come with a management title. Whispering task allocation ideas to the AI is for everyone to do.
The art of management - beyond the day to day operations - is largely organization of abstraction and incentives.
As we’ve collapsed the cost of the operations then largely the point of such an llm is constructing above.
If you’re an engineer why wouldn’t you pay more for better abstractions in an llm? That’s half the work anyways.
To put some more context into this: a manager defines the shape of a group of people. They own amorphous blob of responsibilities and various services. This leads to context confusion and lack of ownership and diffuse ability to operate services.
To fix the manager goes:
Team a is responsible for say the device platform. Team b is for the applications platform. Each is responsible for their domain and the abstraction of team. Each is then responsible for their own ops, roi, quality, else. This attempts to maximize consistency of context, incentives, and scaling. Whether it works or not is frankly up in the air.
But notice this is basically the same as deciding in your intra service modularization and how you define the interfaces. Can you objectively say that whatever abstraction you usually write is correct? No. You just hope with experience and pragmatism.
Not everything in life is a transactional zero-sum game. We as society can afford people to work on beauty, without anything else in return. I'd even argue that this should be one of mankind's ultimate goals.
I agree. It's aesthetically pleasing to know that there are people out there thinking about deep beautiful and elegant concepts somewhere, it's a nice part of having a society to be able to afford supporting such people. They may however start to feel a bit self conscious, like we keep them as a kind of quaint curiosity. People usually like to feel actually useful and impactful.
It does when people start talking about a heatwave as being the "start of the end of human existence." It strongly implies that these trends will wipe out humanity in very short order. Perhaps even within the lifetimes of people in this thread.
What I find most amusing is people somehow think climate change will end humanity faster than what's _actually_ on track to do so, and quickly: people having children well below replacement levels.
> people having children well below replacement levels
You do realise that the global population is still increasing? While birthrates are falling, we aren't even predicted to hit the peak for another half-century. Even pessimistic estimates put it in the 2200s before we fall back to current population levels.
Which is ~100 years longer than current estimates give us before the effects of climate change starts taking a bite out of the world population
It's probably also worth mentioning that nobody predicts birthrates to fall indefinitely - the human race isn't just going to die out because multi-child families are less common. Instead we expect that as affluence becomes more evenly distributed, the whole thing will stabilise at a lower population (and ideally one that leads to less competition for natural resources)
Outside of "great replacement" types who are worried about the continued supply of purebred aryans, I'm not really sure why anyone would be concerned by this
At university I started down the path of joining the infantry as an officer. At first it was great fun - getting paid to go camping on weekends away from university. But when the political side began being pressed home more and more, it didn't sit well with my beliefs. Oh, and I met my now wife at that time, and didn't want to go disappearing off.
I ended up getting a PhD, doing academia for a couple of years, then moving in to industry. Some of it was fun, but the itch for proper adventure has never really left.
Now with a young daughter, we have mild family adventures, which are fun in their own right, but I do hope to have bigger adventures one day. Hopefully with my wife and daughter.
You can find that in many sports communities. Not everywhere by default, but folks are pretty open everywhere once its clear you have something in common.
You can get as much travel and adventure as your mind and wallet can handle, without strict orders that prevent you from actually having fun, without risk of being killed by some drone from above. Or killing another human being just because you were told so, maybe a father defending their village and family from invading forces.
Nah, you can do much better than those guys, and not lose your humanity and happiness in the process.
Thanks for sharing! This all sounds good, but like another poster said, most of it can be experienced without killing other humans / oppressing other countries. Seems like a huge sacrifice just to have fun.
You are a disgrace calling this genocide "self-defense". Seriously. Denying civilians access to fresh water, ambushing ambulances and now blaming the victims? This is utterly disgusting.
I haven't heard of that but I know creatine causes loads of water absorption. I wonder if you're borderline dehydrated and creatine pushes you over the limit.
I have the same response. I had it with lots of water but had to stop taking it after a couple of days every time I tried because it made me feel completely zoned-out. Maybe I should try again with a different brand.
I’ve found nutricost to be good (they do well in Suppco’s analyses apparently), and they have a great variety of supplements, but very few “blend” type products - I.e. they’re a good place to get what you want for a good deal and nothing more.
I use Creapure (a/k/a "German Creatine")as well. Always hard to know with supplements but Creapure seems to be legit. Also use creatine monohydrate not creatine HCL. Monohydrate is harder to disolve so use warm water (I put mine in my coffee) but it's the one that's been studied the most and has the most documented evidence.
