I’d love if author mentioned SRE is site reliability engineer. I’m still not sure if that’s it

Not enough population density with single family homes. And if given a choice between living in a condo + better urban planning versus suburban housing, well. And then there is NY.

It boggles my mind that an LLM "understands" and acts accordingly to these given instructions. I'm using this everyday and 1-shot working code is now a normal expectation but man, still very very hard to believe what LLMs achieved.

A faulty break pad or an engine doesn’t take decisions that might endanger people. Self-driving cars do. They might also get hacked pretty thoroughly.

For the same reason, I’d probably never buy a home robot with more capabilities then a vacuum cleaner.

A naive question: So much “tax payer” money is going towards research funding. But it looks like private companies are reaping rewards, mostly as a new drug. Why is this research not (mainly) privately funded?

Agreed. Real world is governed by physics, which tend to work well very well with interpolations, predictability and statistics

A Survivors clone with Control & Stranger Things vibe and some secrets.

I honestly hope they make you drive the half-baked Model T.

I wish there was a vacuum bot that didn’t need so frequent maintenance.

Depends on your role. Assuming you are their direct supervisor, simply give more tasks. Slacking off is usually due to not enough to do. Follow the tasks at a high level, make sure he knows he’s being tracked. This has even the effect of increasing motivation, as most people value attention.

If slack off means he’s not showing up at team meetings, constantly missing deadlines, low quality of work, etc.. just give feedback on a case-by-case basis, ask how he would make it better next time.

If he fails to improve and the examples pile up, time to make hard decisions. I have to say, in my experience as a direct supervisor, only 1 out of like 4 people fail to improve, if you are willing to invest your time and effort.

Yes-but watching tv is a social~ish event, i.e with your SO. It’s really not my personal time.

This is actually bad advice for the "marketing professional" case for two reasons in my opinion;

* Author directs his client (?) to create hypothesis out of thin air and start testing them. This is how you loose time and money. The missing step in between is observation before hypothesis creation.

* In a workplace setting, the #1 thing you should do is to ask for feedback from your supervisor, incase you feel something is wrong or you have a performance problem and don't know what's wrong.

In USA people can make these calls with much autonomy. In Korea, leaving before your boss is hard to do. In Germany working hours are hard capped and that’s absolutely normal to stop working when your weekly allowance is over.

Some things make sense only because that’s your cultural normal.
