My recommendation is: start with an image (no text) on the first slide. It is important that the image has seemingly nothing to do with the topic of the talk
that was on the (unnumbered) title slide.

Now people are curious what explanation you are giving, and are paying attention.

After resolving the mystery, you can move on to the second slide, you can give e.g. a problem statement or research question and then follow with the usual structure (outline, method, data, experiments, evaluation results, discussion and limitations, summary, conclusions and future work.

Caveat: This works only for oral presentations; there is an important type of slide deck with is the predominant type in large international corporations, and it's a mix between PPT presentation and Word document, where slides are full of text so that the deck is self-explanatory. Those are written not just to be presented but MOSTLY for being passed around by email to be read. They intentionally violate all the rules of good slide decks to accompany good presentations, because they are mainly used to summarize e.g. a new business case for senior management, who may never listen to the presentation, but who may browse the slides.
And nobody wants to do both (or has the incentive to do both). I'll do sorta-both but probably in an informal way--e.g. article that grew out of a talk--or vice versa.
I'm interpreting your comment as you're using ad blockers and also not paying for a subscription.

If that's the case, it's probably true that robbing YouTube of the revenue to cover their R&D and data center costs is covered in whatever insurance and investment risks they manage.

However, also robbing the content creators you're enjoying of the revenue they need to fund their content, is definitely in some unethical grey area. Still true, even if the creator makes only a fraction of their total revenue through ad sense.
OP’s advice could equally apply to consulting.

"There are only two hard problems in Computer Science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors."
Yes, although I think you have to be careful not to piss audiences off with that technique. E.g. think of those too-long form articles that start "<Interesting hook and then...> David lives in a 3 bedroom house in rural blah with his two dogs, boopy and bloppy...". Instant close.

I did an amazing presentation course once run by a comedian. He was very very good, and the main advice that stuck with me was to have your presentation follow the hero's tale. Everyone knows it: all is good, tragedy strikes, problem is overcome, celebrate.

You might think that you can't fit technical talks into that format, and I wouldn't say every presentation needs to be like that. But it's applicable way more often than you'd think.

Basically anything that solves a problem can be told like this. But too many presentations are like "I'm going to tell you about the X project. Here's an overview of the slides. Right, what is X?" instead of "We have a lot of things that do Y. This all worked great until Z, then disaster! Existing solution A doesn't work at all for this case. So we created X. But it didn't work because ... so we had to do ..., and finally everything worked!"
I've noticed a channel that consistently omits the ads (in their case, Patreon plugs) on the transcript, presumably for similar reasons. (I just let the video play because it's usually short enough that manually skipping is enough of a hassle.)

"Nemotron-4-340B-Instruct is a chat model intended for use for the English language" - frustrating
I didn't think Recall was about answering questions - there was no LLM component - so much as it was about being able to search your history, based on a combination of SQLite FTS against OCRd text plus CLIP-style embeddings-based semantic search against the content of those images.
Youtube will then start re-encoding ads per stream. We will have ads similar to polymorphic viruses :-)
Every month I am in meetings where LLMs are being considered for applications they are absolutely not the right fit, but the answer to my concerns is "we need more AI advocates". These conversations are led by people who never actually read a single paper on LLMs or tried them in real life. They have no idea about risks, but plough on because their clueless bosses told them to come up with a plan to use AI.

Is This the First Nintendo Commercial?
Ya as someone who is a builder in the fintech space... it doesn't work to wave hands and stitch together a bunch of third-party software into one offering.

Regardless of how neat the integration seems on paper, in practice the general "law" is that it won't work in the way you specifically want it to work. Often users get frustrated because they see the third-party has a feature, but that specific feature isn't setup to be integrated well, and instead the third-party "integration" hub is just the least common denominator functionality, which achieves "logo integration" but barely delivers value to users.

Developers are spoiled thinking about super well documented & flexible APIs like stripe, whereas in many industries b2b software providers are nowhere as robust. If you're not directly their customer, they won't put in the extra effort to support your integration.

You want to filter people out with a ridiculously high level of standards and be willing to pay for that talent.

Many are unwilling to do the latter but expect the former. You get what you pay for.
Yeah, it works for a time, but they don't support on-premise versions and they don't offer a Helm chart install, its all community based.

I tried it for well over a year, and there are so many moving parts and so many "best guesses" from the community that we had to rip it out. There's a lot of components, sentry, sentry-relay, snuba, celery, redis, clickhouse, zookeeper (for clickhouse), kafka, zookeeper (for kafka), maybe even elasticsearch for good measure. It did work for a time, but there are so many moving parts that required care and feeding it would inevitably break down at some point.

Problem is I can't ship data to their SaaS version because we have PHI and our contracts forbid it, even if scrubbed, so I had to settle on OTEL.
It's a good intuition. Indeed you can see it as ReaderTaskEither (albeit on steroids).

The fp-ts author is also an effect maintainer and recommends effect for new projects. fp-ts is not dead, but it's core goals (providing Haskell/PureScript-like types and type classes) have been mostly achieved.

Effect is an ecosystem with different goals from fp-ts.
Are they basically just saying that the OpenTelemetry client APIs should be split from the rest of the pieces of the project, and versioned super conservatively?

The simple API they describe is basically there in OTel. The API is larger, because it also does quite a few other things (personally, I think (W3C) Baggage is important too), but as a library author I should need only the client APIs to write to.

When implementing, you're free to plug in Providers that use OpenAPI-provided plumbing, but you can equally well plug in Providers from DataDog or Sentry or whatever.

Unless I'm missing something, any further complaints could be solved by making sure the Client APIs (almost) never have backward-incompatible changes, and are versioned separately.

In addition to direct market reaction, they must be a bit red in the face considering that Apple just laid out a complex and well thought out implementation of "AI", which focused on privacy.

As someone who grew up near Redmond, who still has an emotional soft-spot for Microsoft for some reason, I feel truly embarrassed for their implementation.
OtterTune Is Officially Dead
I suspect Apple doesn’t have access to everything typed into a web form, or in a notes app, even if those values are erased/backspaces, not saved, not submitted. But Recall does. All usernames in all apps/websites. The content of every single web page you visit, not just the URL. The content of every email you read, every document you open of any kind in any app. Apple _might_ spy on some of this. Recall WOULD record ALL of that. Very different in my opinion.
It has. It continues to do so. Look no further than the plethora of issues surrounding supply chain security. Or the recent attempts at legislating OSS maintainer obligations.
I'm in the US. The job market for tech seems terrible for my background and in the Philly region in general. There aren't even many unsexy jobs.

> You're not going to be doom scrolling your banking app, your TOTP app or your home automation. Keep those apps and just ban attention stealing algorithms, apps and websites so that we can move on.

Decades ago Joel Spolsky wrote about software bloat and light versions of Word Processors (quoted below) and today 23 years later you can watch the MKBHD team on YouTube "switch to dumbphones so you don't have to" (quotes below) with exactly the same results - they're great, except for the features they don't have which I want. concluding with "If we merged these dumbphones into one and make a mega-dumbphone...". Just ban the bad bits ... doesn't really work. Attention stealing algorithms are algorithms which surface things I want to see, they're not the wrong algorithms, they're turned to surfacing the wrong things.

Joel Spolsky: "Unfortunately, it’s never the same 20%. Everybody uses a different set of features. In the last 10 years I have probably heard of dozens of companies who, determined not to learn from each other, tried to release “lite” word processors that only implement 20% of the features. This story is as old as the PC. Most of the time, what happens is that they give their program to a journalist to review, and the journalist reviews it by writing their review using the new word processor, and then the journalist tries to find the “word count” feature which they need because most journalists have precise word count requirements, and it’s not there, because it’s in the “80% that nobody uses,” and the journalist ends up writing a story that attempts to claim simultaneously that lite programs are good, bloat is bad, and I can’t use this damn thing ’cause it won’t count my words. If I had a dollar for every time this has happened I would be very happy." - https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2001/03/23/strategy-letter-iv...

MKBHD Team: quotes include: "Palmphone - it was your second phone, you had to figure out when to bring it with you vs. when to bring your other phone; you have to specifically figure out what limiting features you want to have". She says: "my problem with it is I can install anything, I wanted to use apps less but I can install all the exact same apps on this". The Blank app for iPhone which makes a large black and white launcher screen: "it's no fun; easy to bypass". Generally: "My biggest problem with this experiment was all my accounts need MFA apps". LitePhone II: "We've tried to make a video about switching to the LitePhone II for serveral days for years. It's really frustrating.

This is for all intents and purposes, fp-ts 3. The projects essentially merged, Giulio Canti is working on it and fp-ts 2 is renaming methods to ease the transition to it.
A single synchronous request is not a good way to understand cost here unless your workload is truly singular tiny requests. Chatgpt handles many requests in parallel and this article's 4 GPU setup certainly can handle more too.

It is miraculous that the cost comparison isn't worse given how adversarial this test is.

Larger requests, concurrent requests, and request queueing will drastically reduce cost here.
This is such bad advice because it leads to tedious contents pages that people read out twice. You shouldn't need to do more than tell people what problem you're trying to solve, and you definitely shouldn't need to tell people what you just told them. You just told them! If they don't know what you told them then you didn't do a very good job.

Seriously no good presentation I've ever seen has followed this tedious format.

Definitely agree about practice though. Makes a huge difference.

Also record yourself with a phone. Closest feeling you can get to a real audience.
> And to realize meaningful benefits, it's necessary to move past the pilot testing stage, something few companies have managed.

Huh, why not?

> Among the organizations surveyed, the best generative AI initiatives involved governance (standardizing models to ensure alignment, limiting access to generative AI tools based on role, and so on) and cost reduction, both general and administrative (Q&A testing, debugging, code suggestion, and HR help documentation).

Robust implementations work.

Maybe the sub-text here is that most early adopters didn't implement robust implementations, and failed out because of it.

The crux of the issue. How value is customer data really? I know very little about this.
Sounds reasonable to me. If you are going to claim in court the the model is illegal then why exactly are you using it?
I agree with all of that with a few corrections:

4. Climate change-related policy that doesn’t make sense is the new law about heating systems, not nuclear power shutdown. Nuclear power in Europe is risky and very expensive, not least because our supply chain is not secure. Neither African, not Russian/Kazakh uranium are a good option. We still have room for more renewables and they are good.

5. That’s not a bad thing, just very un-American. I have seen plenty of layoffs in IT sector here, it’s not that hard to do it. However overhiring to do a layoff in one year is also the most stupid thing that happened in the last 5 years. I doubt that having too much flexibility does help the business. Maybe managers need to be smarter a bit and use available resources more wisely instead.
Handouts and speaker notes are a thing, although people rarely use them both when building presentations and when reviewing them later.
They might be able to beat “ad blockers” referring to the software that blocks ads; I don’t think they’ll ever beat “ad blockers”, the humans that are looking to block ads. There is a certain breaking point where people will simply not watch the content anymore. I am astounded that this hasn’t happened already and a migration to some other alternative site hasn’t ensued.
They aren't robots, they can put on a more genuine tone explaining to the customer that they can't do much, or escalate to someone more powerful without the customer having to argue with them to do it.

A family member had a banking problem last year (they got locked out of their account due to accidentally tripping account theft protection). Of course initially they weren't all that mad, it was their own fault. But customer support staff just had them running around in circles, gradually getting more and more infuriated until one support person finally empathized with their months of daily struggle and bothered to escalate them to someone who was able to force through a fix.

I had a similar experience with my university last year, the support employees were constantly tone deaf about the serious trouble they were causing me by asking me to drop all my other obligations immediately to deal with the consequences of their mistakes.

Every "sorry for the inconvenience" just rubbed salt into the wound because it just further emphasized that they didn't give a shit and that I had no recourse. Especially because the employees did have ways of making things better, by being proactive in providing information and making the accommodation adjustments that were within their power without my having to ask about them.

> For each slide, imagine the audience is going to get up and leave unless you give them a reason to read the next slide.

This is great advice, and I’ve been trying to apply it to my writing in general. Each sentence, and even each word, should give your reader a reason to stick around. Fluff has its place in fiction and long-form writing, but most day-to-day writing should be information-dense.
They bought a ton of adtech companies (primarily data providers) in the 2010ish range. As one of my former colleagues said, "the lawyers at Oracle considered cookies to be on-prem software" which says a lot about Oracle's view of advertising. If you're really successful, you either become a media company, a bank, or a consulting firm. Oracle is firmly #3 while companies like Apple figured out how to become a media company and a bank. Though it's a little early to claim "figure out" I suppose.
> Privacy Respecting Encrypted Link Shortener

You seem to be doing server-side encryption? I guess "Encrypted" is technically true but since your server/vercel sees the clear URL and password it's not terribly useful.

You also send all URLs to Google? It would be nice if you at least used the offline safebrowsing database instead!
I don't think that applies to technology that no one else really has. China is great at bringing down cost of something the west can already produce...they just flood the market with lower cost versions that destroy the business case for developing those products in the west. Solar panels, rare earth refinement, drones, EVs, etc...the west can do all of that, but if they undercut the market, they won't and eventually those capabilities stagnate.

But if they have something the west doesn't have, why sell it and up an advantage? We aren't friends. There are plenty of things the Chinese aren't selling to the west already (real innovations), and vice versa.

Confronting Asus Face-to-Face [video]
I've been a developer for 40+ years, and the trend (other than off-shoring and loss of jobs) seems to be towards systems integration rather than from-scratch development. The other modern trend is of course the rise of AI/ML, a lot of which is also going to be used just as a component.

I'd guess that the bulk of software jobs going forwards are going to be of this nature, including "full-stack" type jobs where an employer wants someone with a current skill set who can rapidly assemble a solution out of various off-the-shelf technologies, with AL/ML increasingly part of the mix. This is also what employers want to see on resumes - an emphasis on having delivered useful solutions rather than just a laundry list of tech skills.

If you're a gig worker rather than looking for full-time jobs, then that may change things a bit - more towards the hired gun coming in with a specialized skill to do a specific job as opposed to an employee with a full stack of skills of general relevance to the type of work a given team is doing.

5-10 years is a relatively long time. I'm not sure how long any specific recommendations of what's in hot demand right now will last, but being able to automate things using off-the-shelf & fine-tuned LLMs/AI is presumably going to be an area that will continue to grow in demand over that time frame.
This is the first time I'm seeing that definition applied to ghost kitchens.
