ChatGPT can generate you a sentence that plausibly looks like the prompt

Rather it estimates a potential prompt. I could do the same and it would be no more or less accurate.

> You can’t be data driven and also blind to the data

"Tickets closed" is an amazing data driven & blind to the data metric. You can have someone closing an insane number of tickets, looking amazing on the KPIs, but no one's measuring "Tickets reopened" or "Tickets created for the same issue a day later".

It's really easy to set up awful KPIs and lose all sight of what is actually happening while having data to show your bosses


That’s a good example for sure - I’d still argue it’s a problem of using the wrong economic model

Success = tickets closed, is wrong, but data driven


How do you manage the more Obsidian-y sync side? Do you have it open with no tabs, or something else going on?


Leaving obsidian open is a good option. Also just syncing with github.

Maybe Devin can make some GH sync utils for oxide


> All it would take is forcing an artificial CPU slowdown

Technically, yes. But for many large tech companies it would require a large organisational mindset shift to go from more features is more promotions is more money to good, stable product with well maintained codebase is better and THAT would require a dramatic shift away from line must go up to something more sustainable and less investor/stock obsessed.


I may be wrong, but I think they mean ship from the factory to the distribution point so that could add some time between an item being made and shipped to a customer

But I've never done anything like this, so ¯ \ _ ( ツ ) _ / ¯


> I would think that the credit card owner would dispute the charge and Steam would deactivate the key

There's a real issue for both Valve and the game dev if this happens. The public isn't going to take this key doesn't work or worse my game stopped working after I bought it and blame nebulous credit card fraud, they're going to blame Valve and/or the dev

It's actually worse than that. G2A have a "consumer friendly" approach whereby if your code doesn't work, they'll basically just take your word for it and give you a new one. In effect what it means is they don't really care if the codes are stolen/duds, they'll just go through _more_ to avoid them having a chargeback against them.


> You assume the bias is in the LLM itself

Common large datasets being inherently biased towards some ideas/concepts and away from others in ways that imply negative things is something that there's a LOT of literature about


That's not a very scientific stance. What would be far more informative is if we looked at the system prompt and confirm whether or not the bias was coming from it. From my experience when responses were exceptionally biased the source of the bias was my own prompts.

The OP is making a claim that an LLM assumes a meeting between two women is childcare. I've worked with LLMs enough to know that current gen LLMs wouldn't make that assumption by default. There is no way that whatever calendar related data that was used to train LLMs would include majority of sole-women 1:1s being childcare focused. That seems extremely unlikely.


Not to Let me google that for you... but there are a LOT of scientific papers that specifically analyse bias in LLM output and reference the datasets that they are trained on

"imply negative things"? What is "negative" here? I see nothing that is "negative".


That a regular meeting between two women must be about childcare because women=childcare?


Yeah except I asked Claude:

> No. There's no indication that children are involved or that care is being provided. It's just two people meeting.

Part of its thinking:

> This is a very vague description with no context about:

> What happens during the meeting

> Whether children are present

> What the purpose of the meeting is

> Any other relevant details

Claude is not going to say childcare, and it is not saying it is childcare.

My prompt was: ""regular meeting between two women". Is it childcare or not?".


> Am I missing something?

A joke? A fun tagline? A little zing for under the heading?


This is really cute!

I have a special spot in my heart for tools that do a good job of explaining themselves using their own outputs.

I wonder how hard it would be to add the cute old PowerPoint style transitions using CSS


You can wrap the navigation event in document.startViewTransition() and get something basic out of the box:

Which transitions in Powerpoint are special?

I haven't seen better slide transitions than here https://impress.js.org/



Not too hard depending on the level of jankiness you're willing to endure.

People did used to have decent expectations for Google back when they at least pretended to care about the "Do no evil" tagline


Indeed but it feels like a lifetime ago. I miss those days where I would look up to google and their products, as something new, cool and "not-evil".


it's always been marketing


Maybe. But if the founders were at all pre-gold-rush Internet people, sentiments like "don't be evil" seemed (in my impression at the time) more the genuine norm than the exception.


It's pretty clear they've been full evil for a while. It's documented at least back to 2011 but the rest of us didn't clue in for a while after.


"Don't be evil."

"Do no harm" is the doctor thing.


Google burned all that goodwill to fuel their growth. It worked great for them. But now they have none left.
