Billions of dollars in value are lost by founders trying to be some high-status thing they're not, instead of letting themselves be the weird thing they are.
Quinoa is great for weight loss
Best way to cook:
Take 1lb of quinoa in a bowl.
Pour it out on to the floor.
Now bend and pick up one seed of quinoa at a time and put it back into the bowl.
Repeat thrice a week.

โapplying learned concepts, as opposed to mainly rewarding performance of learned material, is what improves all three the most.โ - thatโs in stark difference from how the education system and almost all workplaces are set up. ๐
Data on human learning reveal that linking emotions to learning and to applying learned concepts, as opposed to mainly rewarding performance of learned material, is what improves all three the most. This is true in children and adults: https://t.co/rah2rewGAw
I doubt AI will make the art of engineering management notably better, as some believe.
โCultureโ isnโt always quantifiable to an extent to effectively train models.
What we might end up with is more cargo culting of specific outcomes without any discernment of the context.
โcan easily run you into cloud costs that are anywhere in the order of $1M to $10M a month.
Now you realise that the road to profitability lies in reducing these costs by at least 75-90%โ
Imagine you build a hyperlocal delivery app (like Swiggy/Delivery Hero/Uber Eats etc).
The top level API response for a user typically is all stores around them, typically paginated (infinite scroll etc) with info like name, rating, a thumbnail, estimated ETA etc
I'll split 50% royalties on any successful AI generated song that uses my voice. Same deal as I would with any artist i collab with. Feel free to use my voice without penalty. I have no label and no legal bindings.

Nothing can substitute for spending time together in person as a way to build bonds, create connections, and foster trust with your colleagues. There's just a special kind of magic that comes from being together, which Zoom will never match or catch. But what's enabled the remote-work revolution to be effective is that these moments don't need to happen every day, week, or even month.
At 37signals, we've been doing company-wide meetups twice a year for over fifteen years. Through these meetups, we've secured the lion's share of the social in-person benefits afforded by an office, while allowing nearly eighty people from twenty countries to collaborate happily and effectively. It's remarkable how nourishing it can be simply to see your coworkers every six months, and then rely on those fully-charged trust batteries to carry you through the interim.
Being unable to do this during the pandemic really underscored how critical meetups are to make the whole remote-work arrangement successful. We were deprived meetups for a good two and a half years, and we felt it. But at least we had the recollection of what remote work could be like from the time before the pandemic. Many people got their first experience with remote work during the pandemic, and were deprived of these recharging opportunities, so it's no wonder a fair number of them didn't like it.
But how do you actually pull off a successful meetup for a remote company? That's something we've been trying to perfect at 37signals, and, dare I say it, something we've gotten pretty damn good at over the many years. So we thought we'd share our process.
In this video, Andrea and Bethany will walk you through how they organized our latest company meetup in New Orleans, using Basecamp of course. There are a million details to keep track of, and it can seem pretty daunting at first, but if you have a solid tool to help, it becomes way easier.
However you decide to do it, I can't recommend enough committing to doing meetups as part of the deal for making remote work work. They might seem expensive at first glance, but you're likely to pay far more for neglecting the value of direct, human connection without them.
Running sentiment analysis on some fake customer reviews using OpenAI api gpt-3.5-turbo. Stumbled upon something interesting- constraining the response to use less words can lead to an incorrect response. Anyone know why this could be happening? Review, prompts, responses ๐งต๐
Prompt 2 =
- What is the sentiment of the product review?
- What could have been improved around customer experience based on the product review?
