Introducing A/B testing for videos seems to be along the same line of thinking as subscription payments for your car seat warmer[0] or surge pricing for fast food[1], where a concept has been hamfisted into something because a closely related concept or technology was able to utilise it well. Sensibility be damned

this is one of the few areas i feel like a blockchain-style solution could work. Mint a token, transfer it on sale or resale to the new wallet. Validate a wallet with the key is associated with the account. Same for old-school MSFT licenses or other systems where you buy a license key.

There's probably a shortcoming I'm missing here, but it's the only genuine case I could see a blockchain having use above other technical solutions


I can only speak for myself here, but if I feel like I've read a whole paragraph that should have been half a sentence, that's my signal there's possibly AI generated content in there


Have you read any literature ever? Outside of technical and business docs..


Got a referral to work as a Solution Architect at a company from the Senior Sales Person who I will literally be paired up with to talk to customers. Outgoing architect also said I would be perfect for the role. Got on a call with their internal recruiter who cut me off partway through most of my answers about my background and then received and automailer rejection.

That someone who would be bearing the impact of a bad hire recommended me and some recruiter who openly admitted she didn't know much about that side of the business made the call to drop me left a pretty bad taste in my mouth about the company


Not as a way to get you back in but I believe such behavior should still be reported. To both, the person who referred you and someone who manages said internal recruiter (ideally C levels if it's a small company). It is costing the company a solid candidate and they'd prefer to know as well.


I've worked with plenty of companies that provide some sort of hosting for enterprise customers, and the number of times I've seen even senior admins use only CPU Utilisation and Memory In-Use investigating an issue is disheartening. And given that CPU Utilisation is an aggregate of all time != CPU idle, the same utilisation number can mean very different underlying system states.

There's something like a dozen different CPU metrics that can be referred to by the OS alone.


The author mentioned this in passing: > The tasks were menial but doable: ferrying credentials between services, clicking Deploy, watching something fail, pasting the error back to Claude, repeating.

It's no different to a company outsourcing code development for an application to a consultant or another company, just it's using an LLM instead. If that code breaks then the company will need to find another developer to fix it. Sure there are drawbacks to it, but it also lowers the barriers for people to try things out and prototype at low cost and low impact


I always gets the sense around a third of the way through his articles that whoever reads his drafts just gives up. It goes from wordy and repetitive to wordy, repetitive, filled with rage-bait exasperation and more filler than content.

Give the man a 2000 word budget and he could probably write a better article and cover the same information


It's the same sort of pedantry as correcting someone's use of their/there/they're. Yes, technically you're correct in what you're talking about, but arguing minutiae that is probably not relevant to the overall discussion.


I'm going to call.

This format of writing.

Partial sentences.

LinkedIn haiku.


_allegedly_ Until there's evidence of the CVE's the model found and the severity of them etc. it's just a statement and "trust me bro" vibes wrapped in a PR puff piece
