I’ve personally found MiMo models a hit and miss. I have some personal agentic projects and I found them to hallucinate hard at least 10% of the time. And do so in pretty sinister ways - making up people, names, places, etc. I switched back to Kimi for now.

I’m in senior management and my take is - this is one of the very few times in our industry when the companies are actually both encouraging and investing in L&D at an unprecedented rate. When do you last remember a company being comfortable throwing 10,000$+ a year for you to learn a new skill and experiment at your own pace? This is why I’m encouraging my engineers so much - it’s free training! Take it while it lasts!

That was my thinking as well, in Australia this would be a b-double tandem, requiring extra endorsement (multi-combination license).

This is very very likely. Source: worked on the storage backing Google Drive. There’s layers upon layers of backups.

I feel Evolve skateboards are next. Remote drop-outs and start/stop issues have been known in community for ages. I miss Boosted - they really cared about rider safety :(

This is a very good comment. I think the article presumes lower level roles. Very senior comp packages are wildly different so you always go into the convo with “I expect at least X, can you meet my number?” Otherwise you’re that person that tries to negotiate a 250k position up to 500k which is not going to happen.

I view this not as a “you’re making me wait” thing but rather being kind to those of us who have anxiety. “Hi.” without any follow up can really derail a struggling person.

Statistically speaking 2/10 have an ongoing mental struggle so I try not to make the “hi” transactional and immediately follow up with the point in the same message.

Ok, so I actually had to deal with this.

Pick some sort of standard, for example CAIQ and have an always-up-to-date version of it. You’d be surprised how many customers would accept it if you tell them “hey - we use a standard - is this acceptable?”

After that - figure out what certifications will be advantageous. Then automate, automate, automate with something like Hyperproof/Vanta. You will still need a compliance person or more likely a team at that point, so those certs have to unlock some serious money. Otherwise - just stay on top of VSA’s until running a compliance program makes sense.

Just don’t fall for the baseless “SOC2 equals enterprise customers” spiel. Analyse your pipeline and regulatory environment and make a call based on that. So many startups spend millions running a compliance program that brings in thousands.

Not the OP but I am sensitive and sadly found the MiniLED to be unusable as well. Had to switch from a 15’ MBP to the low-cost 13” with the old-school 500nit display.

Depends on whether they threw out the key and crypto shredded. Contact support immediately and keep escalating like your life depends on it. You _might_ be able to recover it but chances are slim.

I worked with some. General things I picked up from them and try to emulate now that I’ve become one:

- Clearly state your values and stick to them - it’s much more comfortable to people to work with a predictable leader and builds trust over time.

- Provide rich context to the team and ask for business outcomes, not specifics.

- Communicate, communicate, communicate - especially if you work in a remote team/company. You need to have a constant dialog going with the team - it’s up to you how, however - there’s a lot of different ways to facilitate.

- Remember your promises and provide people with resolutions to issues they raise, follow up! I know it sounds self explanatory but so many managers just plain forget the things you ask immediately after your 1:1’s.

- Do your 1:1’s for gods sake! Weekly preferably.

I do agree with the general premise but there are a lot of passages that kinda trivialise a lot of complicated phenomena, e.g.:

> Much like victims of childhood hardship or abuse can find escape in fantasy books, victims of enterprise programming or freelance web development can find their escape in solving imaginary problems.

It’s not a bad article. Only feedback I would have is about this passage:

“”” If you routinely pass in a dataset to AI, it can identify anomalies and watch to see if it settles or even reason why the anomaly occurred in the first place. “””

This is not a great use for LLM’s. AI? Sure. But not this type of it.

Anecdotally - Reddit is not really useable for me today. More than half of the communities I frequent are offline so the home feed is just the odd ones that are.
