You haven't really tried everything if you "don't want to hire sales people or a marketing firm of any kind." This might be a self limiting belief.

You can learn by hiring someone / paying someone for a limited time. You can learn what they do, and then use that knowledge to set up systems and processes. Once you have a process, you can pay others like a VA to execute it for you at a lower cost than your time is worth and gain back that time to do higher leverage things.

If your product is making $30k a month, you can afford to experiment with some amount of that, say $2k a month, for a few months, then switch it up. You will learn. If you could spend $2k a month on a sales person or marketing firm which resulted in you making an additional $3k a month, why wouldn't you?

Great read!

> One of the most oft-repeated stories about Frederick’s relationship with the potato concerns the ingenious tactic of reverse psychology the King embarked on to increase interest in potatoes: rebranding it as a ‘royal vegetable’. By ordering his soldiers to plant potatoes in royal fields and lightly guard the crops, allowing the locals to sneak in and pillage the vegetables – the Prussian king would conclude: what is worth guarding is also worth stealing.

This reminds me of Rory Sutherland's "Lessons from an ad man" where he tells this story, and then follows-up with another myth-like story about Ataturk wanting to modernize Turkey, but rather than ban head coverings for women, he required prostitutes to wear one.

Can anybody demonstrate a legitimate use of deepfake software? Has it ever been used to facilitate a socially positive or desirable outcome? While I recognize my experiences are far from definitive, I hazard most would be hard pressed to name anything positive that came out of deepfake technology.

edit: I’ll take your knee-jerk DV, and any others, as an admission of an inability to speak to positive utility of this technology.

> Why do you think top management isn't part of this? Many times it's top management itself that makes sure these traditions continue. Maintaining company culture is something incredibly important to a lot of executives, at certain companies at least.

It sure as hell wasn't the "out source the 737 Max 8 avionics software to some low cost of living $8/hr contractors" beancounter management.

Nor the "lets make the secondary angle of attack sensor part of the 'premium package' and blame the cheapskate customers when their planes crash" MBA bro management.

And it definitely wasn't the "Lets put 'undue pressure' on our ODA-certified staff and make them lie to the FAA about the MAX8 program" assholes either.

But maybe you're right, maybe it's not an entire barrel of bad apples yet...
It is a very cool long-term view of our current environmental degradation, whether or not it plays out.
> Or how nobody cares enough to make a Calculator app for the iPad.

Supposedly Steve Jobs hated every iteration of the calculator on the first iPad, so they just didn't ship it at all. Might just be tradition at Apple to not touch that topic.
People have been able to draw naked pictures of people forever, and almost anyone with very little skill has been able to create extremely believable realistic fake naked photographs of people for over a decade now. I honestly don't understand the fear here: video is only more believable than a photograph because video is harder to forge... well, now it isn't, so video isn't believable either. But video could already be forged before, it just required more effort and more skill so a bunch of people have chosen to accept a miserable heuristic that it can't be forged and so it is worth always believing it... why is this good? How is this even sort of OK? We should strive to live in a world where video is as farcical as photography.

someone said managers were affected more than engineering in this layoffs. also read the comments about this L9 promotion game. they knew they were expected to stay on top of their field.

infinite economic growth is possible, but not infinite constant 2%, and definitely not the US tech sector hiring frenzy that went on for years
Shops in my Indian hometown and in England regularly do this with buffalo heads, ox heads, goat heads, etc. People buy those at a premium to make specific delicacies.

Oh! i thought maybe it had the audio removed for copyright etc, lol. May be worth putting some voiceover - i checked my volume, audio device, then clicked through to youtube to check it. Then i checked another youtube video only to realise it was the video, not my setup :)
I appreciate that you are still trying to learn marketing and not sitting back on your laurels or outsourcing the work. There shouldn't be any upper bounds on your growth just because you make more than one person needs, assuming you are one person at all.

Even if you might not need this skill now, you might still need it in the next project. Also you are the best possible person to understand what works and doesn't work and why as you will have the indepth understanding of the product.

That said, I do not have much to offer in the way of advice. I hope someone else would be able to.

In the meanwhile, I would like to pose some questions and maybe you can figure it out yourself or someone can help you.

1. As someone else have pointed out, have you been iterating on your work? Even ads need lots of iteration, feedback and course correction before it clicks. The same goes for other marketing channels too. Here analytics and googling can be your friend.

2. All the channels you have been speaking about take time to produce rewards. They are more like a garden that needs sowing, tending and weeding before results start to appear. How long have you been doing these activities? Have you been giving consistent attention to each channel overtime?

3. You have the most important treasure key to marketing success. Customers. Have you been talking to your most ardent customers? How did they find you? What value do you add, in their own words? What problems have you solved for them? What capabilities have you enabled by solving the problem? Where do they hang out? How can you reach more of these people? It is very important that you be able to talk to them and see your product from their viewpoint. I would recommend that you record the interviews (with your users' permission) and playback often to get a good understanding from their perspective. Maybe you are targeting the wrong market?

And an obligatory recommendation to "Obviously Awesome" by April Dunford. It is a short book but full of interesting insights.
Here [1] is a video someone recorded of a fight that happened in a Disney park. And here [2] is a Reddit thread discussing it. Expand the comments. Numerous people talked about Disney's infamous security and the apparent lack of it in the video. Not a single other person in that thread noticed the four plainclothes officers in the video, two of whom were present throughout almost the whole video.

Can you find them?

This day was grey-hat day. The first one shows up exactly 30 seconds after the incident starts. The one who does the choke-hold departs almost as fast as he arrived and acknowledges his coworker at 5:29. And no one saw them even from their armchairs. Caught on video and still complete ghosts.

Ok so isn't "parents can't force children to see grandparents", the actual question is "can grandparents force a child's parents to let them see the child".

There are some parents who don't want to have their children spend time with their grandparents due to some kind of family conflict, and their children also don't want to see their grandparents. A lower court decided that they should be able to force the children to spend time with the grandparents (there's a reference to a 2006 law that says parents can't prevent their children from seeing their grandparents, so maybe the lower court decided that the reverse also applies?) and this higher court said no.
Of course, but in the meantime since we can't change the situation (me and others who have been forced to use Teams) you have to stop the bleeding for those who are truly suffering from M$ + Management's decisions
Mainstream culture is quite corrupted it goes against many de jure ideals, it may prove to be more counterculture than others.
Bad take. He's actually asking for them to directly gather data as he trusts them more than the random middle-men who are currently providing the services he's interested in.

As someone working for a random middle-man, I hope OpenAI maintain the status quo and continue to focus on the core product.

It is that simple - what exactly makes you imply that it is not? I don't see argumentation here at all, it's left as an exercise for the reader. Which is a little unsatisfying as it is the core point of your post.
We tackle this hard with slite.com, we just introduced slite.com/ask to find answer no matter how badly organised your documents are, and we offer document status to track outdated and up to date docs across your space (and we're still enhancing it, very much first version).

(As it happily goes, I was submitting this exactly while another member was submitting a video "How to learn anything with ChatGPT AI"... Well. Which also rises: note to the peoples: explain to the world that "ANNs" are different from "AI" - that components used for AI are not AI. Sorting, in fact, now that one considers it, is more AI than ANNs are.)

> This holds huge potential for personalized, independent learning ... except that ChatGPT often gets things wrong, and it does a very good job of hiding that. [E.g. in one occasion it] offered an eloquent list of examples, which on closer inspection included one that was wildly inaccurate[ (the main character had a turbulent relationship with his parents, the bot said, even though the character’s parents were dead throughout the book) ... [or, on some linear equations it sounded] as authoritative as any real math tutor [but] it turned out ChatGPT’s answers were wrong

> How inaccurate is it? ... OpenAI said the company had updated ChatGPT over the last couple of months to improve its factual accuracy, but that it had no statistics to share [...] The problem is, we don’t know whether a huge jump in parameters also means a huge jump in trustworthiness. That is why students should use ChatGPT with caution, if at all, for the foreseeable future

And this elicits a reaction: how can you really tweak a pig to soar - the same pig, just more of it - without embedding flight?! You have to implement ontology and critical processing!!!

Sorry for the confusion. We are looking for a backend developer who can closely work together with our frontend developers to implement nicely designed APIs between backend and frontend.

Why Is Data Management Important?
Hi, I am Eugene Rudenko, an AI Solutions Consultant at NIX Unite with more than fifteen years of experience in business consulting for the software development industry.

I make an effort to keep up with technological developments and implement the most effective ones in the software development process. When I found myself in the area of Data Science, I discovered that this is where cutting-edge AI solutions are being adopted and improved for business problems. My expertise mainly involves the development of business automation and software products and business research and advising. As a result, I'd like to discuss the relevance of data management for businesses and how to manage the entire data lifecycle efficiently.

Why Is Data Management Important?

Data visibility, reliability, security, and scalability

Businesses spend a lot of time and money acquiring data, which is transferred back and forth between storage systems. Therefore, it's critical to get the most profit and value from the collected data. Data management ensures data meets specific criteria.

Let's start with visibility, which refers to the capacity to quickly and easily find needed data. It's also referred to as accessibility. Data labeling is one of the most straightforward ways to make your data more accessible. Whenever you have data labeled, it's easier to find the data, process it, or filter it. Visualization is also a key to the possibility of sharing data insights whenever you need to present your findings to someone.

The next point to consider is reliability. Being involved in data management, you are the one to decide where your data comes from, how it's processed, and how it's integrated with other available data. So, ensuring that your data is consistent, comes from a trustworthy source, and is appropriately formatted is what reliability is all about.

Next is security, which is one of the most crucial parts. Data loss is something that your company and its employees must be protected from. Many businesses are concerned about data breaches, particularly those that deal with personal, financial, and health information.

The final factor required for data is scalability. This allows you to implement and run repetitive processes without duplicate data and do the same data processing on multiple ends of your data pipelines by different departments or employees. Avoiding data duplications improves data consistency by reducing the risk of errors and misinformation during data processing.

Pretty common practice in butcher shops in the Middle East, Central Asia, Iran, China, South East Asia and Japan. India is an exception, although some places in meatloving states such as the Southern states still do that.
Quite often in science fiction media, despite the advancement of technology, I see text and graphics(but not pictures) only as User Interfaces.

> In fact, despite years of buybacks, Meta's outstanding shares have been mostly flat.

They were mostly flat in 2018-2020. They were down 4% in 2021 and 5% in 2022.
Since we're all doing hot takes, mine is simply that Google has stopped innovating. It's perfectly reasonable to hold an L9 up to a high standard, like figuring out what the next paradigm shift will be and how do we jump out in front of it.

The whole industry has this problem. No one knows what the next big thing will be so it's all just bean counters who want to optimize existing revenue streams. You don't need L9's for that. What was once brave and new is now routine and can be handled by lower-level people.
> It's supposed to be management's responsibility to pick projects that will be successful

If you just do what management tells you at Google you will never be promoted past L4. You need to come up with new ideas and projects to sell to management. The key is to align your project ideas with what management says they want.
I'm not so much looking for efficiency, but for simplicity.
This contraption of scripts that get called by cronjobs, that then access some account on DigitalOcean etc. just seems to complex to me.

If I want to check if everything works, I have to check several places.
My own documentation of this backup process is several pages long.

Considering how many people need to backup databases on linux, I was hoping there'd be a better, simpler practice.

There are a lot of completely benign usecases.

1. I want to deepfake myself to have an avatar for online interaction.

2. I want to generate videos instead of filming by pasting people into existing videos.

3. Prevent a Face/Off of scenario.
But with cars there is an upside, we tolerate it because it is so usefull and the government does its best to make it as safe as possible, setting requirements that need to be met for you to legally use it.

In this case there isn't that much upside, it's basically only being used for non-consensual porn generation and impersonating people
I definitely understand how pen and paper help here.
However, don't you feel like losing attention to the meeting, when taking notes manually?
It's not using the MS Graph API and it's copying what the Teams Desktop client is doing.

This gives you a way to run an alternative client in corporations where you don't have the possibility to use third party apps. On top of that, since it's not using the Graph API, we might get better features that will take long time to be available in the Graph API.
This is only for serialisation not for in memory use.
I'm the opposite. I was using my laptop's build-in screen for months. My manager had to remind at every 1:1 for months to buy a monitor until I finally did.
Thanks for the feedback! That helps :)
Good job, but a lot of the reports really exaggerate the size of the search area.

In Australia, for entry roles it's pretty important, just because you got no experience.
> especially when you're a freelancer

I think that's the big qualifier here. The productivity paying off the price is only meaningful if your time and money are arbitrarily fungible for each other, and for most people they are not. There's a good chance they won't be able to find a way to convert that saved time into the corresponding $20+ needed to pay the bill. And if finances are tight, $20/month might be a deal breaker.

Even if you're a freelancer, if your projects have billing caps related to the number of hours you expect to work then you don't necessarily have adequate time/money fungibility. $20 a month also might not be worth the cost of going out and acquiring a new project.
I live by the Panhandle, so I have access to parks, and I'm not tucked away in some far corner like the Richmond where I expected that the transportation would be so ineffectual... yet visiting my friend in Chinatown is either a 10-15 minute drive, or a 40-50 minute bus ride + walk (biking being more of an option before the whole track run-in...)

In general comparing cities will always be somewhat like comparing sports teams: everyone has a favorite, for different reasons, and there's no right answer. But too many times since I've gotten here I've seen people try to compare SF to places like NYC and LA. I don't even like LA, but I'm not going to try and compare SF to LA because that'd be like comparing an NBA team to a "G League" team. People keep asking me stuff like "SF is just like a mini-NYC right?!" upon hearing where I came from, and I humor them to be nice, but no. It's really not at all.
Decades of not reducing fossil fuel use have somehow failed to reduce fossil fuel use?!
I actually did set up replication to another database, several years ago.
But at the time, for some reason the databases would de-sync to easily (often when changing the db scheme).
It is 100% an auto pilot flown course.

(The only real alternative option is that it's spoofed ADS-B transmissions, which is way way more likely to mean jail time for whoever was involved than a few extra tons of jetfuel and an un-management-authorised mission plan uploaded to the nav hardware would result in...)

(It shows on other ADS-B tracking sites, so it isn't just some FlightRadar dude having fun or getting a kickback.)

(Actually, there's a _very small_ possibility it was a large enough group of pissed of ADSBExchange feeders who all collaborated to use their gear to send spoofed data to the various flight tracking services? When some guy sells out an "open community" for $20mil, trolling the entire industry isn't a super surprising result...)
If I never hear the word "opinionated" again in the context of software engineering, ever in my life, that'd be nice.
The ADS-B out data is fed from the aircraft’s ADIRU (air data inertial reference unit), which, yes, just uses GPS unless that fails for some reason. There’s a fallback based on accelerometers and laser gyros to provide shockingly accurate positioning should such a failure occur, but it does lose some accuracy (enough that you can still fly autopilot on it for an approach at max range, but it’ll be drifting by some number of meters) over long flights before it needs to be reset from GPS data on the ground.
Let's not forget 10 millions Soviets.
