> You uncover a better design and submit a string of diffs not only implementing the task but simplifying other parts of the code too. Bonus points for doing this before you implement (make the hard change easy then make the easy change).
The last part of this really stands out. A high performer understands that software is malleable. However, the way you shape it, when things change, and how much is changed at one time matters a lot
Iroh has been amazing to work with and the engineers are so nice in the discord channel. The pragmatic approach to making p2p just work has been easy to understand. Their YouTube channel has great content too. Congrats on v1!
Patrick Rucker, one of the authors, spent time at our company, Claimable, last fall so he could investigate this issue further. Claimable is a startup where we leverage AI to help people appeal their health insurance denials. Ask me anything, I work in this space every day.
Regardless of how you feel about content moderation, 48 hours is a ridiculously long time given what AI can do today. That “bad” image could have been propagated around the world to millions of people in that time. It can and should be removed in minutes because AI can evaluate the “bad” image quickly and a human moderator isn’t required anymore. However, the compute costs would eat into profits…
Again, I’m not judging about content moderation, but this is an extremely weak initiative.
This holiday season, I wouldn’t buy high priced high quality items from Amazon due to concerns about counterfeit. I probably still won’t even after they’ve made this change. DTC from quality producers now have decent websites, free shipping, and good customer service. If I’m going to buy a premium expensive product, why risk it.
Software that connects your own personal devices to form a p2p mesh network and also connects your friends personal mesh network. On top of that technology, the ability to chat, share media, or any other basic computing done between friends. Data is synced between devices. The goal is to make the underlying tech mostly invisible to the users. They pair devices and start doing standard software things.
> We need to support farmers because a market spread too thin on farming means people would starve.
People would not starve if we stopped the ethanol mandate. In fact, corn prices would fall because the government would no longer force ethanol to be mixed with oil. Less demand would decrease the price.
How would we effectively regulate social media? Being the regulator could be a very powerful political tool and used to capture or maintain political power.
It’s been about a year since I looked into this sort of thing, but molmo will give you x,y coordinates. I hacked together a project about it. I also think Microsoft’s omniparser is good at finding coordinates too.
