On the other hand Vision Pro's price will go down and quality will go up. Apple has the deep pockets to continue to invest until the technology really delivers at a mass market price. This wasn't really there for the labor intensive high-touch Starcruiser experience.

compress the following text in a way that fits in a tweet (ideally) and such that you (GPT-4) can reconstruct the intention of the human who wrote text as close as possible to the original intention. This is for yourself. It does not need to be human readable or understandable. Abuse of language mixing, abbreviations, symbols (unicode and emoji), or any other encodings or internal representations is all permissible, as long as it, if pasted in a new inference cycle, will yield near-identical results as the original text:

There is no reason to think GPT-4 has any special knowledge about prompts, or how they should be effectively compressed so that it will treat it as equivalent to the original. It does an interesting job of faking it. But they are basically asking GPT-4 for a stylized version of "summarize the following:".
Are you a wiz with gnarly requirements who chews up bugs and spits out stunningly documented code? We’re on the hunt for a software cowboy with a firmware flare to help our seasoned team wrangle that next batch of gold standard sawmill scanning products to market. You’ll need gumption to pull it off: a knack for self-direction and an aptitude for customer support goes a long way in these parts. You’ll also need to work well with others; there are no lone rangers in this outfit. It’s a tall order, but you’ll be richly rewarded if you can make the grade.
This is an opportunity to make a difference. Sawmills throughout the world will depend on the technology you develop to get the most from our forests.
Compared to numpy, octave has a nicer syntax for matrix math, but a bit idiosyncratic as a general language. It doesn't have anywhere near the ecosystem of Python/NumPy/SciPy. It is also nice in that there is a standard development shell with REPL plotting, debugging and text editor. Like numpy it is pretty slow if you have to actually use for loops over large data sets.
On the other hand needing to sell yourself, and being judged on how well you present yourself seems very much a part of being human. I agree though that the "human capital" language and the formalized processes at some places is a bit dehumanizing.
